New Fairfield Business Celebrates Grand Opening

Via the Fairfield Chamber of Commerce: FAIRFIELD, CT — The Fairfield Chamber of Commerce is happy to announce that its new member, StretchLab Fairfield, celebrated its grand opening with a ribbon cutting Oct. 24. The ceremony was officiated by the Town of Fairfield’s chief of staff, Nancy Carberry.

Owner Andy Hicks opened StretchLab because he believes that assisted stretching is a hugely effective wellness strategy.

“Even in the short period we've been open, many of our members have seen transformative results,” Hicks said.

Hicks is a paddle tennis fanatic, and assisted stretching has helped him perform better on the court, with a side advantage of feeling better on a day-to-day basis.

“We specialize in stretching, and we rely on techniques such as PNF (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation). We transform the lives of our clients through a dedicated and highly customized stretching routine. Our stretch leaves you feeling relaxed, but also energized and ready for action. Over time, our service can make lasting changes to your body,” he said.

General Manager Kacie Skidd is a career fitness manager, a competitive ballroom dancer, and also a new mom.

According to Skidd, the benefits of stretching include:

• Improved sports performance;
• Increased range of motion and flexibility;
• Reduced muscle and joint pain;
• Improved posture;
• Improved relaxation and decreased stress.

"We feel that the Sportsplex is a perfect location for StretchLab, because Fairfield is a community where people love to enjoy busy, active lives. StretchLab helps people maintain that busy pace, whether in athletics or in professional life," Skidd said.

StretchLab is located at 85 Mill Plain Road (SportsPlex) in Fairfield. For more information, contact the team at 203-648-9156 or fairfield@stretchlab.com.
