StretchLab Extends Reach in South Florida

StretchLab recently announced new franchise agreements that will bring six studios to the Fort Lauderdale area for a total of 10 new studios in Florida. Dave and Valerie Daverio signed franchised agreements for the Fort Lauderdale area, with Debbie and Steven Sainte-Rose opening two locations in Boca Raton.  

“We are excited to announce the continued growth of our brand in the state of Florida,” Verdine Baker says, president of StretchLab. “The Sunshine State has proven to be a successful market for StretchLab already, and we can’t wait to reach even more of the state’s consumers looking to focus on their wellness and healthy aging.”

In addition to the Florida agreements, StretchLab recently signed deals to bring new studios to Maryland, Washington D.C., Michigan and North Dakota, among other markets. The company currently has 156 franchise locations open and 587 licensed locations.

According to StretchLab, founded in 2015, deep stretching is scientifically proven to be one of the most effective ways to decrease pain, lower the risk of injury, and allow people to perform better at work, in the gym and every day life. Clients at StretchLab work one-on-one with highly trained Flexologists™ in an open, modern and friendly environment to increase mobility and flexibility to achieve a deeper, more advanced stretch than they can get on their own. Studios utilize TRX MAPS technology, which tracks mobility, muscle activation, posture and body symmetry to create individually tailored and more holistic stretching programs for clients to achieve their wellness goals.

Ranked on Entrepreneur Magazines Franchise 500 in 2022, Fastest-Growing Franchises and Top New Franchises in 2021, StretchLab is headquartered in Irvine, CA and backed by Xponential Fitness, a curator of leading boutique fitness brands.

BIOGRAPHY

Drew Limsky joined Lifestyle Media Group in August 2020 as Editor-in-Chief of South Florida Business & Wealth. His first issue of SFBW, October 2020, heralded a reimagined structure, with new content categories and a slew of fresh visual themes. “As sort of a cross between Forbes and Robb Report, with a dash of GQ and Vogue,” Limsky says, “SFBW reflects South Florida’s increasingly sophisticated and dynamic business and cultural landscape.”

Limsky, an avid traveler, swimmer and film buff who holds a law degree and Ph.D. from New York University, likes to say, “I’m a doctor, but I can’t operate—except on your brand.” He wrote his dissertation on the nonfiction work of Joan Didion. Prior to that, Limsky received his B.A. in English, summa cum laude, from Emory University and earned his M.A. in literature at American University in connection with a Masters Scholar Award fellowship.

Limsky came to SFBW at the apex of a storied career in journalism and publishing that includes six previous lead editorial roles, including for some of the world’s best-known brands. He served as global editor-in-chief of Lexus magazine, founding editor-in-chief of custom lifestyle magazines for Cadillac and Holland America Line, and was the founding editor-in-chief of Modern Luxury Interiors South Florida. He also was the executive editor for B2B magazines for Acura and Honda Financial Services, and he served as travel editor for Conde Nast. Magazines under Limsky’s editorship have garnered more than 75 industry awards.

He has also written for many of the country’s top newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, Boston Globe, USA Today, Worth, Robb Report, Afar, Time Out New York, National Geographic Traveler, Men’s Journal, Ritz-Carlton, Elite Traveler, Florida Design, Metropolis and Architectural Digest Mexico. His other clients have included Four Seasons, Acqualina Resort & Residences, Yahoo!, American Airlines, Wynn, Douglas Elliman and Corcoran. As an adjunct assistant professor, Limsky has taught journalism, film and creative writing at the City University of New York, Pace University, American University and other colleges.
