What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Stretch Zone's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Stretch Practitioner Training Program is mandatory for specific individuals associated with the franchise. Each employee who will provide stretch services at the Stretch Zone Franchise Business must complete this training. Additionally, the Regional Manager is also required to complete the Stretch Practitioner Training Program.
The Stretch Practitioner Training Program includes a virtual portion completed via Stretch Zone University as a prerequisite. After completing the virtual course, practitioners must attend a two-day in-person Stretch Training. During the in-person training, practitioners must pass two practical exams to be certified.
The initial franchise fee covers the Stretch Practitioner Training Program for up to 12 initial practitioner candidates as part of the Initial On-Site Training Program. However, if a franchisee needs to train more than 12 initial practitioner candidates or requires additional training for other personnel, they must pay a training fee of $310 per person. Stretch Zone may also provide the training at the franchise location for a fee of $1,240, provided there are at least four practitioners attending. This ensures that all staff members providing stretch services are properly trained and certified, maintaining the quality and standards of Stretch Zone.
