StretchLab, the global leader in assisted stretching, is now open in Chevy Chase.The new studio, situated at 8525 Chevy Chase Lake Terrace, Suite 304, marks the first location in Maryland. It aims to introduce people of all ages and fitness levels to the diverse health and wellness benefits of working with highly trained Flexologists™ in an open, modern, fun, and approachable environment.

StretchLab Chevy Chase is proudly owned and operated by the entrepreneurial couple, Liliya Khizder and Michael Grossman, who have been happily married for the last 18 years. Originally from Brooklyn, NY, Michael brings a wealth of experience in corporate fitness. His personal journey involves overcoming serious back pain caused by herniated discs, which led him to discover StretchLab and the concept of assisted stretching. With the new StretchLab, he aspires to help people avoid injuries and continue enjoying their lives pain-free.

Liliya, originally from the Republic of Georgia, relocated to the United States and established a successful 25-year career in IT. As a hands-on business owner, she envisions the new location as a platform to cultivate personal connections between herself, her team of flexologists, and their clients.

"We were drawn to StretchLab because it is accessible to everyone," said Khizder. "While people often emphasize the importance of stretching, they rarely incorporate it into their routines. With StretchLab, we recognize that we can impact lives one at a time through assisted stretching, enabling individuals to live their lives injury-free and to the fullest."

StretchLab offers a variety of one-on-one personalized stretching services that concentrate on the client’s current stretching needs. Flexologists™ hold a nationally recognized certificate in assisted stretching, as the Flexologist Training Program is accredited by the Institute for Credentialing Excellence, a first in the field of assisted stretching and something no other brand offers. Monthly memberships are available for four, eight or 12 visits per month, as well as session-pack stretches.

The Chevy Chase studio also offers the MAPS machine, which is a revolutionary machine that identifies movement inefficiencies across four critical categories: Mobility, Activation, Posture and Symmetry. The MAPS score is created utilizing 3D technology to perform a total body movement assessment scan in under 30 seconds, as users perform three body-weight squats. Results are delivered on-screen and via email, which will allow StretchLab Flexologists to better serve the needs of its diverse members. This creates a customized movement plan and offers a measurable way to see progress in flexibility.

StretchLab Chevy Chase is open Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. as well as Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The studio can be reached online at https://www.stretchlab.com/location/chevychase by email at [email protected] or by phone at (301) 664-2426
