For FST & assisted-stretch practitioners
Stretch Therapy Space for Rent in NYC — Floor and Table, One Room
Most rooms in this city are built for either a table or a mat, not both. This one is built for stretch therapy specifically — open floor plus a table, in the same hour.
The room problem
Stretch therapy doesn't fit a massage room or a gym floor
A standard massage room is built around one table and not much open floor around it — fine for a client lying still, awkward when you need to bring a knee across the body or guide a leg through a full range of motion without knocking into a cart or a wall. A commercial gym floor has the opposite problem: plenty of open space, but no privacy, no table for the parts of a session that benefit from working at height, and equipment noise and foot traffic that make it hard for a client to actually relax into a stretch.
The stretch and mobility space is set up as its own category rather than a repurposed massage room or a gym corner: open floor for mat-based assisted stretching plus a table in the same room, so a session can move between the two without relocating the client or breaking the flow of a sequence.

Because the room sits inside a Pilates and treatment studio rather than a dedicated stretch franchise, you also have access to spine correctors and ladder barrels if your programming uses them for supported extension or traction work — equipment a pure stretch-therapy storefront typically doesn't carry.
The economics
Renting a floor-plus-table room versus a franchise split
Franchise stretch studios generally pay practitioners a set wage or a percentage of a membership fee they don't control, in exchange for a steady stream of walk-in clients. Renting by the hour at $40 inverts that: you set your own session price, you keep all of it, and the room cost is fixed regardless of what you charge. Hourly treatment and studio rooms in Manhattan generally run from the mid-double digits per hour for a bare room in a shared suite to well over $100 per hour for a fully-stocked room in a doorman building. Enhancewell sits in the middle of that range and publishes its numbers, and the rate includes linens, laundry and the full equipment inventory rather than charging for them separately. There is no membership plan you're required to sell and no revenue share on sessions you bring in yourself.
What you need to bring
Certification, insurance, your own strap system if you use one
A recognized stretch therapy or FST certification, or an underlying massage therapy or personal training license whose scope covers assisted stretching, plus professional liability insurance naming the studio entity as additional insured. If your training uses a proprietary strap or harness system, bring it — general straps and bands are provided but a specific branded system is yours to carry.
Client convenience
A location clients will actually come back for
4/5/6, N/Q/R/W and L at 14th St–Union Square converge one block from 41 Union Square West, which matters for stretch therapy clients booking a recurring weekly or biweekly session as maintenance rather than a one-off. A client who has to think about their commute is a client who reschedules; one who doesn't tends to stay on the calendar.
Frequently asked questions
Do I get both floor space and a table, or do I have to choose one?
Both are in the same room for the hour you book — open floor and mat area for supine and side-lying assisted stretching, plus a table for work that's easier done at height. You don't book two separate rooms to run a full FST or assisted-stretch session.
Is there enough open floor to move a client through a full range-of-motion sequence?
Yes — the floor is not carved up with fixed Pilates apparatus bolted in place; reformers and towers can be positioned to leave open floor for straight-leg raises, PNF patterns and rotational work.
What props are actually in the room versus what I need to bring?
Straps, bands, foam rollers and bolsters are stocked. If you use a specific proprietary strap system or branded equipment tied to a certification, bring that — everything general-purpose is already here.
Can I run 30-minute sessions instead of a full hour?
Yes — bookings run on the hour, half-hour or quarter-hour, which suits stretch therapy better than most modalities since many practitioners run 30- or 45-minute sessions rather than a flat hour.
What certification or license do you require?
A recognized stretch therapy or FST certification (or an underlying license such as massage therapy or personal training that covers assisted stretching under its scope) plus professional liability insurance naming the studio entity as additional insured.
Is this suitable for clients with mobility limitations who need help getting on and off a table?
The table and open floor are both at accessible working height and there is building elevator access to Suite 501, so clients are not navigating stairs to reach the room.
