SLT Founder’s New Stretch Studio

SLT Founder Amanda Freeman Launches Innovative Stretch Studio

Amanda Freeman, the visionary entrepreneur behind the popular Strengthen Lengthen Tone (SLT) workout, is expanding her wellness empire with an exciting new venture. Her latest creation, Stretch*d, is a revolutionary stretch studio concept designed to help people find relief, relaxation, and improved mobility through personalized stretching sessions. This innovative approach to wellness combines Freeman’s passion for fitness with a deep understanding of the importance of recovery and self-care.

The Vision Behind Stretch*d

Stretch*d was born out of Freeman’s own experiences and observations in the fitness industry. After years of intense workouts and seeing clients struggle with tightness and discomfort, she recognized a growing need for dedicated stretching services. The studio aims to fill this gap by offering one-on-one assisted stretching sessions tailored to each individual’s needs and goals.

“I’ve always believed that taking care of our bodies is essential for overall wellbeing,” Freeman explains. “With Stretch*d, we’re creating a space where people can prioritize their recovery and flexibility, which are often overlooked aspects of fitness and health.”

The Stretch*d Experience

At Stretch*d, clients can expect a unique and personalized experience. Trained “Stretch*rs” guide participants through a series of dynamic stretches designed to target specific muscle groups and address individual concerns. Sessions range from 25 to 75 minutes, allowing flexibility for busy schedules.

The studio’s signature method, called “Flex*d,” incorporates elements of various stretching techniques, including:

• Dynamic stretching
• Active isolated stretching
• PNF (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation)
• Myofascial release

This comprehensive approach helps improve flexibility, reduce muscle tension, and enhance overall body awareness.

Benefits of Regular Stretching

The importance of stretching extends far beyond just feeling good. Regular stretching sessions at Stretch*d can provide numerous benefits for both physical and mental wellbeing:

• Improved flexibility and range of motion
• Reduced muscle tension and soreness
• Enhanced posture and body alignment
• Increased circulation and blood flow
• Stress relief and relaxation
• Better sleep quality
• Reduced risk of injury during physical activities

By incorporating stretching into their wellness routines, clients can experience a profound positive impact on their overall quality of life.

A Holistic Approach to Wellness

Stretch*d isn’t just about physical flexibility; it’s part of a larger movement towards holistic wellness. Freeman’s vision extends beyond the studio walls, encouraging clients to integrate stretching and self-care into their daily lives.

“We want to empower people to take control of their health and wellbeing,” Freeman says. “By teaching proper stretching techniques and educating our clients about the importance of recovery, we’re giving them tools they can use both in and out of the studio.”

The studio also offers workshops and educational resources to help clients deepen their understanding of body mechanics and the benefits of stretching.

Community and Compassion at the Core

At the heart of Stretch*d is a commitment to building a supportive and inclusive community. The studio welcomes people of all ages, fitness levels, and backgrounds, recognizing that everyone can benefit from improved flexibility and mindful movement.

Freeman and her team have created a warm, inviting atmosphere where clients feel comfortable and cared for. The emphasis is on listening to one’s body, respecting individual limits, and celebrating progress, no matter how small.

“We want Stretch*d to be a place where people feel seen, heard, and supported in their wellness journey,” Freeman explains. “It’s about more than just physical flexibility; it’s about cultivating compassion for ourselves and others.”
