What Dr.stretch UAE does

Dr.stretch UAE is a premium assisted-stretching studio chain operating under the legal entity STRETCH HEALTH FITNESS LIMITED, headquartered on Al Reem Island in Abu Dhabi. Founded in 2023, the company runs six mall-based studios across two UAE emirates: three in Abu Dhabi (Boutik Mall, Marina Mall, and Reem Mall) and three in Dubai (Dubai Hills Mall, Golden Mile at Palm Jumeirah, and Nad Al Sheba Mall). The brand is the UAE franchise of the larger Asia-origin Dr.stretch group, which reports reach of more than one million people across its network.

The core product is a personalized 1-on-1 assisted-stretching session built on the proprietary "Core Balance Stretch" protocol, which comprises more than 200 techniques delivered by trained practitioners. Sessions are aimed at general wellness consumers as well as targeted segments including seniors, athletes, and office workers, with a corporate wellness channel also referenced. The company reports a 4.9/5 customer rating across more than 500 reviews.

Revenue is generated through pay-as-you-go single sessions, multi-session and subscription packages, gift cards, and corporate wellness contracts; a 40% discount on the first session is used to drive trial. Operational technology is built on a standard SaaS stack: PayTabs for payments, Simplybook.me for scheduling, Google Maps for discovery, and Visa/Mastercard acceptance. With 18 employees and no disclosed funding or M&A activity, growth to date has been achieved via studio openings in premium retail locations, funded organically or through the parent franchise relationship.
