MAPS · exclusive to StretchLab studios
A personalised,
professional
approach
Every session is tailored to the member's body and goals, delivered by Certified Flexologists with backgrounds in personal training, massage and physical therapy.
More flexibility and faster recovery.
Desk workers to athletes, every age.
Benches and people, not machines.
MAPS tracks every member's progress.
Opening a studio is genuinely hard work. What made the difference was not doing it alone: the design and build was mapped out, the pre-sale marketing was ready to go, and the sales coaching kept us on track through launch.

Common questions
What’s in the information pack?
How the model works, the anticipated investment and what it covers, where we’re opening, and how we support owners from site search to opening day. It’s free and lands in your inbox straight away.
Do I need a fitness background to own a StretchLab?
No. Many of our top franchisees started with none. You’ll be trained on the StretchLab model, and your studio is run by certified Flexologists and a General Manager with fitness sales experience. What matters most is being focused, involved and willing to follow a proven system.
What does it cost to open, and what’s included?
The anticipated investment is approximately $200K. It covers the franchise fee, design and fit-out of a 70–100m² studio, stretch benches and MAPS, Flexologist training, and your pre-sale launch. Costs vary by location and site, so we walk through each line with you in our unit economics model.
Is my area still available?
Almost 50 territories are already sold across Australia and New Zealand, and areas are still available in every state. Tell us your preferred location and Bill will confirm what’s open.
Do I have to run the studio myself?
No. Owner-operators run the studio day to day. Investor-owners appoint a General Manager with fitness sales experience and a Lead Flexologist, and oversee performance with support from our operations team.
How long until I open?
Typically 6–8 months from signing, depending on your site, landlord works and council approvals. Pre-sales start 12–16 weeks before opening, so you open with founding members already booked in.
