Assisted stretching is a booming wellness trend, and many are eager to enter this space—but most are being funneled into franchise models that come with sky-high costs, rigid requirements, and uncertain profitability.
Let’s break it down:
The Harsh Truth About Stretching Franchises
- Initial Investment: Most franchises demand $200,000+ upfront, including franchise fees, leasehold improvements, staffing, and equipment.
- Ongoing Fees: Franchisees are locked into 5–9% royalties, plus mandatory marketing fees.
- High Overhead: Brick-and-mortar leases, build-outs, and staff salaries create constant pressure just to stay solvent.
- Long Road to Profitability: Many franchise owners spend months, even years, trying to break even—if they ever do.
Now, here’s the $200,000 secret that current fitness and wellness business owners need to hear:
The Stretch Center Advantage:
A licensing model built specifically for existing health and fitness professionals who already have the space, the clientele, and the industry insight.
Instead of spending $200K+ on a rigid franchise, you can implement the Stretch Center model for less than 10% of that cost—and with far greater flexibility and profit potential.
Low-Cost, High-Return
- Launch for under $20K with no royalty fees.
- Keep your profits, scale at your own pace.
- No need to lease additional space—use as little as 600–800 sq ft in your current facility.
Built for Existing Businesses
- Ideal for chiropractors, gym owners, physical therapists, massage clinics, and recovery centers.
- Tap into your existing client base and expand into a proven, in-demand service offering.
Fast Path to Profitability
- Most Stretch Center partners reach solvency within 8 weeks.
- Leverage our proven training systems, marketing tools, and business model.
- Add a high-margin service without the burden of a franchise system.
Brand, Support & Scalability—Without the Strings
- Use the Stretch Center brand—recognized, professional, and growing.
- Get ongoing technical training, business coaching, and marketing support.
- Stay independent—no long-term contracts, royalties, or territory restrictions.
The Bottom Line:
If you’re already in the health and wellness industry, investing in a franchise model for assisted stretching is like buying a brand-new house just to start a home office—you already have the space, the tools, and the clients. You just need the right system.
Stretch Center offers a leaner, smarter, and faster path to profitability—without the bloat and bureaucracy of traditional franchises.
It’s not just an alternative. It’s the next evolution in stretch therapy business models.
