A stretching studio is opening in Courthouse later this month.

Los Angeles-based StretchLab is stretching itself to open by late December at 2200 Wilson Blvd, at the corner with N. Wayne Street. It will be in the same building in Courthouse as Sweet Leaf Cafe.

Founded in 2015 in Venice, California, StretchLab calls itself “the industry leader in offering one-on-one assisted stretching.”

There are nearly 300 locations nationwide, per a company spokesperson, but this would be the first StretchLab in the D.C. area. There are plans for additional expansion locally, we’re told.

“StretchLab has gathered a team of experts already certified in an array of related fields — physical therapy, chiropractic medicine, yoga, Pilates, and more — and brought in the world’s leading authority on stretching and flexibility to deliver on the promise of having the finest team of stretching professionals gathered anywhere,” reads a statement provided to ARLnow.

The studio offers memberships, one-on-one instruction, and group classes.

Construction is nearly finished on the space, a spokesperson said. Next week, on Monday, Dec. 12, the studio will be open for a preview and “free demonstration stretches.” The studio is set to fully open to the public later in December.
