CARMICHAEL, CA (MPG) - It's no stretch to see how Carmichael's latest fitness center hopes to tone a maturing community.

Recently opening at the Bel Air Shopping Center, StretchLab is the second local facility for the wellness franchise. Its methodology is geared to improve flexibility through supervised contracting and relaxing of muscles.

“The process can help everybody,” said manager Jet Cara. “Especially baby boomers. As we grow older, some functional things get harder. Tying shoelaces, pulling on pants or bending down can be chores. With a flexibility coach, longevity of movement can be extended.”

The fitness center employs eight trained flexologists.

“We love being in Carmichael,” Cara said. ‘It’s a well-established area where we find we can really connect with our clients.”

StretchLab is at 4005 Manzanita Ave., Suite 48, and its phone number is 916-258-3300. Learn more about StretchLab at www.stretchlab.com/location/carmichael.
