SUMMIT, NJ — StretchLab, the newest workout studio in Summit, will have grand opening downtown on Thursday. The stretching studio, located on 412 Springfield Avenue, will be launched by Mayor Nora Radest on Thursday, June 16 at 4 p.m. Franchise owner Dave Weaving, a Chatham resident, opened the first StretchLab location in Livingston in 2018. He then opened another location in Morristown in 2019. "Bringing StretchLab to New Jersey has been a wonderful new chapter in my life," Weaving said in a statement. "Seeing so many members benefit from professionally-led stretching programs has been inspiring." Weaving said StretchLab has been operating at full capacity for quite a while following pandemic protocols, but the business has "really taken off in the last several months." "The positive response allowed us to move ahead with our expansion into Summit," Weaving said. The Summit location features eight benches where clients work through a customized stretching routine in sessions that last 25 to 50 minutes. Each "Flexologist" that Weaving employs has completed at least 60 hours of training, which includes theory and hands-on work, along with learning about the muscular system, the benefits of stretches and how to create a custom approach to meet a client's individual needs and concerns.

"It is incredible how our bodies need to be stretched after long days at the computer, being outside, before and after recreational sports activities or conducting our day-to-day lives," Weaving said. "We know we should all stretch routinely, but most of us don't." Weaving said StretchLab programs aim to reduce muscle and joint pain while also increasing range of motion and flexibility. In addition, Weaving indicated that those new to stretching can take advantage of discounted "Intro Stretch" to help assess which short term membership may be best to achieve the desired results. Various programs include static and dynamic stretching, along with Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation to maximize results. According to the recent announcement, StretchLab — originally founded in 2015 — now has operations in 37 states and 200 locations around the nation.
