STRETCH ZONE CELEBRATES GRAND OPENING IN DARIEN, CONNECTICUT
Premier Assisted Stretching Franchise Welcomes Newest Location Under Local Leadership
DARIEN, Conn., Feb. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Stretch Zone, the nation's premier assisted stretching brand featuring a patented strapping system on proprietary tables, is proud to announce the opening of its newest location in Darien, Connecticut. This marks Stretch Zone's 382nd location in the United States and is owned and operated by Helen Martin, a multi-unit Stretch Zone franchisee.
Helen's journey with Stretch Zone began after personally experiencing a stretch from founder Jorden Gold himself, an experience she describes as an "aha moment." "When I met Jorden at a golf event and experienced my first stretch, I knew that the trajectory of my life changed in that moment. I was instantly thinking about how I could get involved in the business - even before Stretch Zone had a single franchise location." It was at that same time that the founders recognized the potential of a "vertical industry of flexibility" that could be accessible to the masses - and so the Stretch Zone franchising story began. Martin officially joined the brand in 2014, opening her first studio in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Since then, Helen has expanded her portfolio to 27 studios, across three states with her newest location in Darien.
"I love that Stretch Zone's services can benefit everyone, and I'm thrilled to bring assisted stretching to the northern market, reaching even more people across the country," says Martin. As an avid runner, and former collegiate golfer, Helen knows firsthand the importance of maintaining an active lifestyle and prioritizing recovery. "I know how crucial stretching is to my overall wellness - whether I'm actively competing or just maintaining a healthy lifestyle - my quality of life and comfort are both exponentially better when I'm regularly stretching."
Stretch Zone welcomes members who are eager to improve their mobility, offering personalized plans tailored to their specific abilities and goals with the help of certified and trained practitioners. The Darien location will serve as an exciting extension of Stretch Zone's footprint, offering a prime downtown space where people can experience the transformative benefits of assisted stretching. A female business owner that employs several hundred employees across her locations, Martin is excited to make an impact in the Darien market. "I feel so passionate not just about bringing the best practitioner-assisted stretching concept to Darien, but to meeting and working with local talent that I know will be as passionate about Stretch Zone as I am."
Stretch Zone is the only nationally accredited stretch franchise, thanks to its patented equipment and proprietary training methodology. The brand takes a scientific approach to stretching, focusing on re-educating muscles to achieve optimal resting muscle tone and enhance range of motion. With a welcoming environment and an open studio layout, Stretch Zone emphasizes a gradual, personalized approach that helps members safely increase their mobility and range of motion over time. With several membership options, there's a plan that suits every lifestyle and price point.
