About this Business
An exceptional opportunity is available to acquire the StretchLab Albuquerque franchise, including three premier studio locations: Winrock, High Desert, and Andalucia.
All three studios occupy highly desirable locations and serve demographics that align perfectly with StretchLab’s focus on mobility, recovery, flexibility, and healthy aging. While the business has operated with limited ownership involvement in recent years, the foundation for future growth is firmly in place.
Winrock benefits from exceptional visibility in one of Albuquerque’s most active retail and entertainment districts. High Desert serves an affluent, wellness-focused community, while Andalucia is positioned in one of the metro area’s fastest-growing retail corridors adjacent to Sprouts and other high-traffic businesses.
StretchLab enjoys a unique competitive advantage as the only dedicated stretch studio concept in Bernalillo County. Combined with growing demand for wellness and mobility services, this creates a significant opportunity for expansion.
Members love the service and regularly share stories of improved mobility, flexibility, and quality of life. The staff is passionate, engaged, and eager to see the studios thrive under strong leadership. With a dedicated owner and capable area manager, there is substantial opportunity to increase memberships, strengthen community partnerships, improve retention, and drive revenue growth.
All three studios are fully operational, professionally built out, and ready for a new owner. With premier locations, loyal members, limited competition, and significant upside potential, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a turnkey wellness franchise positioned for long-term success.
Growth opportunities
The StretchLab Albuquerque franchise presents a rare opportunity to acquire three premier studio locations in Winrock, High Desert, and Andalucia. Each studio occupies a highly desirable location with strong visibility, established community presence, and access to ideal demographics. The greatest opportunity lies in the significant upside potential. Over the past year, the franchise has operated with limited leadership and management oversight, leaving substantial room for growth through focused ownership and execution. The studios are fully operational, professionally built out, and benefit from the strength of the StretchLab brand, yet have not been managed to their full potential. A dedicated owner paired with a strong area manager could have an immediate impact on membership growth, retention, community partnerships, and overall revenue. With premier locations, limited direct competition, and increasing demand for wellness services.
Owner's Day-to-Day Involvement
The current owner has had minimal day-to-day involvement in the operation of the business and has largely functioned as an absentee owner. As a result, there is a significant opportunity for a more engaged owner to provide leadership, accountability, and strategic direction, which could positively impact studio performance and growth.

Additional Info
These studios are truly special. Members love the service, the locations are premier, and the staff is eager for strong leadership. With limited oversight in recent years, the opportunity for growth is substantial. A dedicated owner and strong management team could make a significant impact on revenue in a relatively short period of time. As the only stretch studio concept in the area, StretchLab faces little direct competition in a market with a large population of active adults and retirees.
Asset Description
All 3 studios are fully equipped with the package required to open including stretch benches, front desk, retail displays, popup equipment, massage style accessories such as hypervolt, and all equipment is in excellent working condition.
Inventory Description
Grip socks, stretching accessories
Reason for Selling
Selling the franchise for personal reasons that leave owner 100% absentee. The franchise needs management, oversight, and direction that owner cannot provide at this time.
Why I Love My Franchise
What I love most about this franchise is the people. The team is passionate about helping others, and members genuinely love the service. Hearing their stories of where they started and how far they've come is incredibly rewarding. The community engagement is exceptional, and there's a unique energy that surrounds StretchLab. From members to staff, everyone is invested in wellness, making the studios true hubs for health, mobility, and connection.
About StretchLab
StretchLab is a boutique fitness franchise delivering one-on-one and group assisted stretching services to members across all ages and activity levels. Founded in 2015 and franchising since 2018, the brand has grown to nearly 500 studios across North America, making it the largest assisted stretching franchise in the market. Sessions run 25 or 50 minutes and are delivered by certified Flexologists: trained stretching specialists focused on improving flexibility, mobility, and range of motion.
Studios run on a membership model, with recurring dues making up the large majority of revenue. The business is designed as an executive franchise, meaning owners typically hire a studio manager for day-to-day operations rather than delivering services themselves. Select studios also offer Normatec compression therapy alongside the core stretch programme.
StretchLab sits within the Xponential Fitness portfolio, a multi-brand platform operating several boutique fitness and wellness concepts. This parent structure gives franchisees access to shared vendor relationships, national brand infrastructure, and a support team with extensive fitness franchising experience.
Franchisee Support
StretchLab franchisees complete a week-long Franchise University programme covering business operations, sales activation, and service delivery standards, alongside 23 hours of classroom instruction. Ongoing support includes weekly and monthly update webinars, one-on-one operational coaching as studios mature, and access to co-operative advertising resources. The Xponential parent network provides vendor relationships and shared marketing infrastructure that carry over post-opening. Resale buyers should confirm with StretchLab what onboarding and Franchise University access the franchisor provides to incoming ownership.
Brand Accolades & Awards
StretchLab has earned multiple Entrepreneur recognitions: ranked in the Franchise 500 from 2023 through 2026 (most recently at No. 260 in 2026), named a Top New Franchise in 2023, and listed as a Fastest-Growing Franchise in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The brand also appears on Inc. Magazine's Inc. 5000 and Inc. 500 lists, and earned the No. 2 position on Franchise Times' Fast & Serious list in 2025. Media coverage has extended to Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, Fast Company, and Women's Health.
Industry / Market
Consumer demand for recovery-focused wellness has grown steadily across the US, driven by aging demographics, rising sports participation, and broader acceptance of flexibility and mobility work as everyday health priorities. The North American boutique fitness segment generates billions in annual revenue annually, with membership-based studios benefiting from consumer willingness to pay for personalized services. Assisted stretching occupies a growing niche within this category with limited direct franchise competition at present. For resale buyers, the unit's existing membership base and monthly retention data are more meaningful indicators of local demand than broad market statistics.
Ideal Owner
StretchLab suits operators comfortable in an executive role: recruiting and managing a small team of Flexologists and a studio manager rather than personally delivering services. Strong community engagement and interpersonal skills matter more than a fitness background, though genuine interest in health and wellness helps with local marketing and member relationships. The model is staffing-led and operations-focused, with the owner's attention directed toward hiring, staff retention, performance tracking, and local brand-building.
