StretchLab - Glastonbury, Connecticut

Nicole Bartner

So the StretchLab concept is pure genius!! You make an appointment (through their super convenient app) and show up and someone (with some sort of experience/training... presumably...?) stretches you. Just like trainers do with professional athletes in the NFL and NBA.

Amazing concept!! So helpful and needed.

I live in Vermont and have been looking/waiting for a stretchlab for years. However! My parents live in Branford , Connecticut and i drive back and forth every other week. Conveniently past Glastonbury...

The thing is that Stretchlabs are franchises. So each location is independently owned (although...take note!!! The Glastonbury and new Branford locations have the same owner!!).

So I had injured my own self running hill repeats (?) and made an appointment at Glastonbury Stretchlab to get stretched because I was struggling!! LOL

I showed up at their location and the owner was manning the front desk. He is a very odd dude. Not great vibes. In any other setting I would not engage with someone as creepy as this guy. But he was the only guy at the front desk and he wasn't the one going to stretch me. So ?‍♀️?‍♀️?‍♀️.

He suggested i sign up for some package purchase deal that would actually save me money on the stretching appointments I wanted. AND STUPID ME I thought he was being like nice and helpful.

And then I gave him my credit card...

That's how they get you. ?

Friends. That was MONTHS ago. And this scammer started charging me every damn month until I called them on the phone and DEMANDED they stop charging my card. And the woman who answered said I'd signed up for an automatically renewing membership with a 3 mos minimum (of course) and she couldn't understand why she was unable to delete my cc from their system (of course). But this phone call would be considered my cancelation of the recurring membership (surrrreeeee.. ).

And then they proceeded to attempt to charge my card every month. And every month I sent them a threatening email telling them to STOP. And then, last week, they ran 5 charges on my credit card for a total of $839!!!!!!!!!!!!

I obviously reported all 5 charges as fraud to my cc company. I also filed a complaint against these scammers with the CT Atty Gen.

Avoid these people and this business like the actual plague!

I was curious about StretchLab and decided to give it a try. As an athlete and body worker, I was curious what the benefits might be. I was not disappointed! The absence of pain and stiffness and ease of movement is wonderful! All the staff at StretchLab are terrific that I've met so far.
Clay, whom I worked with most continuously, has been very professional, personable and knowledgeable about stretching. Working with him is a pleasure! He has a great sensibility of the end-feel of a stretch. He will be a valuable member of any team that he joins in the future.

Got this for a birthday week gift. Was excited to try it because I have extensive body damage after an accident, and I am tight. Had an assessment, and got massaged lightly, got stretched. It actually went by too quickly, and only a few things were able to get stretched. It was very relaxing. Sat up thinking we were going to start doing shoulders, but it was over. We will see how my body likes it in a couple of days. The girl doing my stretches was very pleasant and listened to my requests.

I have been receiving one hour sessions for over three months and my range of motion has greatly increased and reduced many aches and pains I’ve been living with for years. The facility is new and very comfortable. Atticus, Tiffani, John and Clay are the specialists that I have had the pleasure of getting to know and all are wonderful. I highly recommend Stretch Lab!

A friend referred me to the Stretch lab. He said they really helped him with his lower back pain so I figured I’d check it out. My first visit with Clay I knew my body would benefit from coming here. I’ve had some trouble with my left hip and I figured stretching it couldn’t hurt. The knowledge that Clay has and the way he goes about working with his clients is just great. He never pushed me out of my comfort zone, always asked the right questions, and always offered to give new ideas and new stretches I could do on my own. My hip has never felt so good, thanks Clay.

I went stretchlab because I had pain in my right foot. John found knots in my calf muscles and massaged them out. In just a few weeks, my foot felt much better, and I'm still going for continued improvement.

There is one thing that I'm not happy with. They automatically charge your credit card every month until you give them 30 days notice. I was okay with the first 3 months, but after that, I would just like to pay as I go.

The first few sessions made a huge difference in my flexibility and my overall ability to do every day tasks. Now with several more sessions completed my range of motion has dramatically improved. 20+ yrs of working out and physical activities with little stretching has taken a toll. Clay and the stretch lab have delivered and I can’t wait for the upcoming golf season.

I've been struggling with lower back pain and also residual weakness due to knee surgeries. I've been working with Clay since mid December and I have felt a marked reduction in pain and muscle spasms over the last month. Everyone needs this kind of service!
