Founded in 2004, Stretch Zone combines proprietary assisted stretching with patented stretching equipment to develop the Stretch Zone Method. By focusing on the therapeutic benefits of stretching, Stretch Zone has revolutionized the fitness industry by taking stretching from just a "warm-up exercise" to a program designed to provide a remarkable impact on overall health, prevent injuries, increase recovery and enhance overall quality of life.

Compensation: $15.00 - $22.00 per hour
Most stretching methodologies try to wait out, overpower, trick, or ignore the stretch reflex. The proven way to increase performance and mobility is to work with the stretch reflex with the revolutionary techniques available through the Stretch Zone® Methodology (SZM). The SZM Practitioner identifies any postural and movement limitations, then tries to correct or mitigate them through specific applied stretching sessions. With a balanced system the customer will reach their true maximum potential, whether they are an professional athlete, weekend warrior, couch potato, or suffering from chronic pain or illness.
A career with Stretch Zone® means not just meeting and maintaining a level of excellence, but continually improving in skill, to further one's expertise and to advance the industry. As a minimum prerequisite to SZM we recommend a personal training certification in ACE, NASM, ACSM, NSCA or NCSF and/or a license in therapeutic massage or other accredited body work.
