STRETCH ZONE OPENS SEPTEMBER 17 IN DENISON, TX

New practitioner-assisted stretching studio helps the community stay active, mobile, and moving with confidence

DENISON, Texas, Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Stretch Zone, the nation's leading brand for practitioner-assisted stretching, officially opens Stretch Zone Denison today, bringing personalized stretching services to the Denison community. The studio is owned and operated by Edmund M. Bagingito and Karissa Rangel, marking Bagingito's first franchise business and first Stretch Zone location.

Bagingito's introduction to Stretch Zone came as a customer. While attending a golf tournament, he received a stretch from a local Stretch Zone team and quickly became a member himself.

"That experience opened my eyes to how beneficial practitioner-assisted stretching could be," said Bagingito. "I saw firsthand how much better I felt afterward, and it inspired me to bring that same experience to my own community."

For Bagingito, opening Stretch Zone Denison is about helping people continue doing the activities they enjoy most. "Whether someone loves playing golf, tennis, running, working out, or simply wants to stay active as they get older, our goal is to help them move better," he said. "We're excited to introduce a service that supports mobility and helps people continue living active lifestyles."

Stretch Zone Denison brings practitioner-assisted stretching to a growing community seeking proactive wellness solutions. Each one-on-one stretch session is tailored to the individual's flexibility, mobility, and wellness goals, helping reduce stiffness, improve range of motion, and support everyday movement.

"Stretch Zone offers something that's still new to many people," Bagingito added. "Professional athletes have long understood the importance of flexibility, and now everyday individuals can experience those same benefits. Strength and flexibility go hand in hand, and we're proud to make that accessible here in Denison."

Before opening Stretch Zone, Bagingito built a successful real estate portfolio through rental property investments. While entrepreneurship is familiar to him, Stretch Zone Denison represents his first franchise venture and his first opportunity to own a business centered on health and wellness.

Stretch Zone Denison opens today, September 17, 2026. To celebrate the opening, new guests are invited to enjoy a complimentary first stretch consultation and session. For more information, visit www.stretchzone.com.
