Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Runner's World featured StretchLab in April 2026, strengthening credibility with runners.
  • June 2026 NYSE Floor Talk and other media kept mobility expertise visible.
  • New 2026 studio openings in Long Island City and Flourtown show ongoing demand.

What critics are saying

  • March 2026 FTC settlement imposed $17 million redress and franchise-sale restrictions.
  • June 2026 New York AG settlement added $3.97 million for misleading opening timelines.
  • Franchise trust now weakens expansion; one stalled disclosure regime can freeze new studio sales.

What makes Core Ventures unique

  • StretchLab owns assisted stretching, a niche between physical therapy and boutique fitness.
  • Flexologists deliver one-on-one custom sessions, not generic classes or self-service mobility apps.
  • By August 2026, StretchLab claimed 500 North American studios, proving franchise scalability.

Verdine Baker, President Of Stretchlab Franchise, Grows Company To 500 Units In 5 Years

StretchLab, the global leader in assisted stretching within the Xponential Fitness brand, under the leadership of seasoned fitness executive Verdine Baker, has grown the franchise brand to an astounding 500 units in just the past five years. Often, companies that open so many locations quickly cannot maintain healthy unit economics. Still, StretchLab has defied all odds, especially being a niche subcategory within the wellness industry. Numerous StretchLab franchise locations across the country have celebrated over $1 million in revenue in 2023, and membership numbers in 2024 continue to outpace years past. BLACK ENTERPRISE spoke with Baker, president and CEO of StretchLab and former professional soccer player, to understand how heโ€™s been able to drive such tremendous growth and the importance of having African American executives in leadership roles and ownership across the franchise sector. BLACK ENTERPRISE: How did you decide to go into the fitness franchise industry? VERDINE BAKER: Iโ€™ve built my career from the start in the health and wellness industry
