StretchLab Debut’s First Augusta-Area Location: Celebrating Grand Opening Aug. 9th

Staff Report From Georgia CEO

Wednesday, August 7th, 2024

StretchLab, the premier assisted stretching franchise, announces the opening its first Augusta market studio. Located in Evans at 620 Mullins Colony Dr., the new 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 Evans is owned by husband-and wife duo, Pat and Shirley Wulf, franchisees with first-hand experience in the life-changing benefits of assisted stretching. With a passion for community giveback and making a positive difference in the lives of local residents, the new studio in Evans is the first of six StretchLab locations the couple plans on opening in the Peach State in the near future.

After a 25-year career in the pharmaceutical industry, Shirley Wulf first introduced her husband to the StretchLab concept after visiting a location in Sarasota, FL. Pat Wulf, brings to their new Evans business a wealth of previous experience in operating a healthcare consultant firm for large hospitals and physician groups. The couple were convinced that the StretchLab concept was a worthy investment due to its ability to change lives for the better.

“Like many of our members at StretchLab in Evans, Pat and I are very active people with a passion for biking, pickleball and various other outdoor activities,” said Shirley Wulf. “If it weren’t for our regular assisted stretches at StretchLab, we recognize that we would not be able to participate in these activities as much as we do now. We’re confident in saying that StretchLab has truly elevated our quality of life and cannot wait to further share our experience with more local community members at our new location in Evans.”

StretchLab offers customized one-on-one personalized stretching services including a 25-minute stretch that concentrates on the client’s specific focus areas, as well as a 50-minute head-to-toe comprehensive stretch. 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. Monthly memberships are available for four or eight visits per month, as well as stretch packages of 5 or 10 stretches.

The Evans 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.

StretchLab Evans is open Monday to Thursday from 9 to 7, Friday from 9 to 5, and Saturday from 10 to 3. The studio can be reached online at www.StretchLab.com, through Facebook, or by phone at (762) 895-9522.
