What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Bft Franchise Disclosure Document, Bft does not directly offer franchises for studios providing stretching classes and related services under the STRETCH LAB® trademark. Instead, this franchise opportunity is offered through an affiliate, SL SPV.
SL SPV offers franchises for studios that provide stretching classes, related therapy activities, and, if approved, a proprietary "flexologist" training program under the STRETCH LAB® trademark. This means that while Bft itself focuses on its core fitness franchise, the parent company Xponential Fitness has structured its business so that a separate entity handles the STRETCH LAB® brand.
Prospective franchisees interested in the STRETCH LAB® concept should be aware that they would be dealing with SL SPV, not directly with Bft. This distinction could have implications for the support, training, and overall relationship with the parent company. It is important to understand the specific obligations and benefits associated with franchising through SL SPV versus directly with Bft or its other brands.
