StretchLab, the premier assisted stretching franchise, recently opened its first location in Bellevue. Located at 14315 NE 20th St, the studio will introduce people of all ages and fitness levels to the various health and wellness benefits of working with highly trained Flexologists™ in an open, modern, fun and approachable environment.

StretchLab Bellevue is owned by Brian Riddick, an experienced entrepreneur in the franchise industry since 2004. Riddick launched his first StretchLab studio in Kirkland in 2019. An avid soccer player, Brian initially became a client at StretchLab to improve his mobility and quickly discovered the numerous benefits of assisted stretching. Inspired by his personal experience and the positive impact of StretchLab on his athletic performance, Brian decided to expand his involvement with the brand with his new location in Bellevue.

“Bellevue is such an active community, with residents engaging in a variety of outdoor activities,” said Brian. “StretchLab will help people feel better and continue to do the things they truly enjoy. Each one-on-one stretch is specifically tailored to meet each client’s unique needs, helping them work toward their personal fitness and wellness goals.”

StretchLab offers a variety of one-on-one personalized stretching services including a 25-minute stretch that concentrates on the client’s current stretching needs, as well as a 50-minute head-to-toe deep stretch that addresses all major muscle groups. Flexologists hold a nationally recognized certificate in assisted stretching, as the Flexologist Training Program is accredited by the Institute for Credentialing Excellence, a first in the field of assisted stretching and something no other brand offers. In addition to one-on-one stretching services, two small-format group stretches are available in which a Flexologist leads clients through a warm-up and sequence of stretches to address major muscle groups. Monthly memberships are available for four or eight visits per month, as well as drop-in stretches.

The Bellevue studio will also offer its members access to the MAPS machine, a revolutionary technology that identifies movement inefficiencies across four critical categories: Mobility, Activation, Posture and Symmetry. The MAPS score is created utilizing 3D technology to perform a total body movement assessment scan in under 30 seconds, as users perform three body-weight squats. Results are delivered on-screen and via email, which will allow StretchLab’s Flexologists to better serve the needs of its diverse members. This creates a customized movement plan and offers a measurable way to see progress in flexibility.
