The most neglected part of the modern fitness phenomenon is now taking center stage! Power Stretch Studios home of the KIKA Method of stretching came to life four years ago in Montclair, NJ. Hakika DuBose, a young, former dancer armed with $500, her B.F.A. in dance from Montclair State University and personal training experience decided to change the world by showing people the importance of stretching. With the KIKA Method of 1-on-1 stretching tension is released from the body as stretch coaches give pain free sessions while clients lay on a mat and do nothing. There are no tables, or straps just their healing hands.
Before each session clients take a one-minute test to see how old they are in stretch years. After the session they are tested again and the scores usually improve. One client said, “I felt so relaxed after visiting Power Stretch Studios in Montclair and finding out that I am 25 years old in “stretch years. I said, take that almost 41 year old self!” People visiting from out of the state have loved this method of “luxurious stretching” so much that Ms. DuBose is now certifying fitness centers and training personnel in New Jersey and other states.
Mid - City Gym in Manhattan (http://www.midcitygym.com) owner Vince Consalvo, a former physique competitor, equipment analyst and body building historian, is happy to have the KIKA Method offered at his gym because, “Members find the 1-on-1 method to be more relaxing and they receive a more thorough stretch. They have more energy to work out and recuperate quicker. Body builders and weight lifting competitors love the method because it improves their performances. All members say their range of motion improves immediately after each session.” Vince also says he loves working with Hakika because she has proven to be an expert at what she’s doing. We all know New Yorkers are hard to please so this is a great testimony.
This single mother who started her venture with $500 and a lot of faith is extremely excited about the success of her business. “ I wanted to find a way to help people live pain free. I started training to dance in high school which is very late for a dancer. So I became obsessed with ways to increase my flexibility. Little did I know my invented methods would eventually lead to a stretching movement. Along the way I learned that I had to educate people about the importance of passive stretching. We have clients from 10 to 83, male and female, athletes, non-athletes, players of recreational sports and professional athletes including Roman Oben, a former player with the New York Giants.”
