Local Entrepreneurs Open Pennsylvania’s First StretchLab Location

StretchLab, the premier assisted stretching franchise, recently opened its first Pennsylvania location in Collegeville. Located at 222 E Main Street, the studio introduces people of all ages and fitness levels to the various health and wellness benefits of working with highly trained and experienced Flexologists™ in an open, modern, fun and approachable environment.

StretchLab Collegeville is owned and operated by married couple Jason Guy and Elizabeth Shen. Jason and Elizabeth live an active lifestyle and looked to partner with a brand they felt philosophically aligned with. Elizabeth is an experienced triathlete, while Jason has completed 10 half marathons and is a past participant of the Broad Street Run. Physical activity is a major part of their active lives, and found StretchLab as a source for recovery and wellness. Jason and Elizabeth knew they wanted to be a part of StretchLab and help bring the wellness studio to the Collegeville community.

“With our athletic background, we realize the importance of stretching and how it improves the body’s flexibility and longevity,” said Shen. “Regardless of your age or athletic experience, assisted stretching proves to enhance your personal and physical wellness. Jason and I take great pride in the opportunity to provide such a beneficial service to Collegeville.”

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. In addition to one-on-one stretching services, two small-format group stretches are available in which a trained 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 Collegeville studio will also offer the TRX MAPS machine, which is a revolutionary machine 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.

StretchLab Collegeville is open Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. – 8 p.m., as well as Sunday from 8 a.m. – 2 p.m., and is closed on Saturdays. The studio can be reached online at www.StretchLab.com, by email at collegeville@stretchlab.com or by phone at 484-209-2400.
