We are honored—and incredibly grateful—to share that StretchLab First Coast has been named a 2025 Best of Florida Award winner, marking our second consecutive year receiving this statewide recognition for excellence in wellness.
Presented by GuideToFlorida.com, the Best of Florida Awards celebrate standout businesses that consistently deliver exceptional service, quality, and community impact. For us, this recognition is not just about growth or accolades—it’s about the people we serve every single day across Northeast Florida.
What This Award Really Means
With studios in St. Augustine Beach, Ponte Vedra Beach, Mandarin, and Atlantic Beach, StretchLab First Coast has become a trusted partner for individuals and families who want to move better, feel stronger, and live with less pain.
This award affirms something we see daily in our studios:
accessible, personalized wellness works when it’s done with care, consistency, and purpose.
Every session at StretchLab First Coast is more than “just stretching.” Our members work one-on-one with certified Flexologists, professionals trained through a nationally accredited program, to create customized mobility plans that address:
Chronic tightness and pain
Postural imbalances
Athletic recovery and performance
Age-related stiffness and injury prevention
Using a science-based combination of dynamic stretching, static stretching, and advanced techniques like Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF), our clients often feel noticeable improvements after just one session—with long-term results built over time.
Wellness That Fits Real Life
What truly sets StretchLab First Coast apart is our belief that wellness should be approachable, effective, and personal. Our 25- and 50-minute assisted stretch sessions are designed to fit into busy lives while delivering meaningful results—whether you’re:
An active professional sitting at a desk all day
A runner, golfer, or gym-goer looking to improve performance
A healthcare or logistics worker managing physical strain
Someone who simply wants to age with confidence and freedom of movement
As one team member shared:
“People don’t stay with us because stretching is trendy—they stay because they’re moving with less pain, aging with more confidence, and getting back to the things they love doing.”
That’s why this award matters. It reflects the real outcomes experienced by our community—not just industry recognition.
Rooted in Community, Focused on Impact
As a family-owned franchise rooted in Northeast Florida, our mission has always been bigger than stretching alone. We believe every body is wonderfully made and worthy of care, and we strive to reflect that belief in how we serve, coach, and connect.
The 2025 Best of Florida Award highlights not only our continued growth, but the lasting impact we’re making on individuals, families, and workplaces throughout the region.
Looking Ahead: One Stretch at a Time
As we move forward, our purpose remains clear:
to make better movement possible for everyone—one stretch at a time.
Whether you’re exploring assisted stretching for the first time, looking to elevate your recovery routine, or considering wellness solutions for your team, we’d love to support your journey.
