Train professionals. Certify competency. Launch assisted stretching. Scale it across your organization.
ASA gives fitness and wellness professionals the education, standards, certification, systems, and technology to deliver assisted stretching with greater consistency, professionalism, and control.
Whether you’re building a new career, adding assisted stretching to your services, or launching a program across multiple locations, ASA gives you a structured path forward.
Learn how to deliver assisted stretching through structured education, hands-on technique training, communication, safety standards, and practical skill development.
Whether you’re a personal trainer, massage therapist, fitness professional, wellness practitioner, or looking for a new opportunity, ASA gives you a professional system to learn the skill.
Most education programs stop when the course ends.
ASA is being built around the entire journey — from learning the fundamentals to demonstrating hands-on competency and maintaining standards inside a real organization.
01
Learn
Build the knowledge behind professional assisted stretching.
02
Practice

Earn and maintain an ASA credential through a defined certification process.
05

Give organizations a structured path for introducing assisted stretching into their business.
06
Scale
Use ASA Enterprise to support people, locations, training, certification, performance, and quality.
One professional. One location. One hundred locations. The standard should not change.
ASA Enterprise
The Operating System for Assisted Stretching.
Assisted stretching becomes much harder to manage when you move from one practitioner to multiple employees, locations, managers, and regions.
ASA Enterprise is designed to give organizations one place to oversee the people and systems behind the service.
Training
Know where every employee stands.
Certification
Track readiness, credentials, expirations, and development.
Locations
See what's happening across the organization.
Performance
Understand how the service is performing.
Quality
Help maintain consistent professional standards.
Leadership
Give each level of management the information that matters to them.
From practitioner to club manager to regional leadership to corporate headquarters — ASA Enterprise gives each level of the organization a clear view of what matters.
One Platform. Different Views for Every Level of the Organization.
Corporate Leadership
See organization-wide revenue, locations, training, certification, performance, quality, and rollout status.
Regional Leadership
Compare locations, identify areas needing support, and oversee rollout across a region.
Club Managers
Manage the local stretch department, staff development, certifications, performance, and launch activity.
Master Trainers
Support practical development, evaluations, remediation, quality reviews, and future recertification workflows.
Practitioners
See personal training progress, certification status, development priorities, and professional resources.
You don’t need to roll assisted stretching out across an entire organization on day one.
ASA can begin with a focused pilot designed to help your organization establish the team, training, operating structure, and launch process before expanding.
Phase 1
Build & Prepare
Select pilot locations, identify leadership, prepare staffing, and establish rollout objectives.
Phase 2
Train
Prepare practitioners through ASA education and certification requirements.
Phase 3
Launch
Introduce the assisted-stretching service inside the selected locations.
Which locations make sense as the pilot group, and why.
How many practitioners need to be trained and certified before launch.
Who inside your organization could develop into an ASA Master Trainer.
What the operating structure looks like in a location once the service is live.
What has to be reviewed at the end of the pilot before expanding.
ASA does not have a public request form or scheduling link published yet, so this panel is the honest answer to the click rather than a page that doesn’t exist. Nothing here collects or sends any information.
In the meantime, the interactive demo covers most of the ground a first conversation would — including the pilot tracker itself.
A new service. Inside the business you already have.
Turn Existing Space, Staff, and Member Relationships Into a New Service Opportunity.
Assisted stretching can complement personal training, recovery, mobility, performance, and wellness services already offered inside fitness businesses.
ASA helps organizations create the structure around that opportunity.
Create a New Service
Give members another reason to engage with your facility and staff.
Develop Your Team
Give existing fitness professionals another professional skill and potential service opportunity.
Build Recurring Relationships
Assisted stretching can be structured around recurring appointments, memberships, packages, and ongoing client relationships.
Business results vary by organization, staffing, pricing, member demand, execution, and market conditions. ASA does not guarantee revenue or financial outcomes.
Build internal capability
Build Internal Training Capability That Scales.
For a multi-location organization to scale, training cannot depend entirely on ASA being physically present every time a new employee needs development.
The ASA Enterprise model is designed to help qualified professionals inside an organization develop into ASA Master Trainers, who can support the organization’s internal development process while operating within ASA standards.
Candidate preparation
Practical evaluation workflows
Remediation support
Technique and quality reviews
Credential oversight
Recertification support
Ongoing practitioner development
ASA builds the system. Your organization builds the capability.
ASA certification is built to develop more than memorization.
The program combines education, safety, communication, professional standards, and assisted-stretching technique so students understand both what to do and how to do it responsibly.
24-Module Online Curriculum
Learn the foundations behind professional assisted stretching.
Knowledge Assessments
Demonstrate understanding throughout the program.
Hands-On Technique Training
Develop positioning, support, leverage, communication, movement, and control.
Practical Skill Development
Apply the techniques in a hands-on environment.
Professional Standards
Understand scope, boundaries, client communication, consent, and appropriate decision-making.
ASA Certification
Complete the required certification process and continue developing professionally.
Certification runs as a cohort: the online curriculum first, then hands-on training and practical skill development.
Dates are set per cohort and, for organizations, per rollout — which is why there is no single fixed calendar.
ASA has not published a public training calendar, and there is no external scheduling system behind this button. Dates will live on the certification page when it ships.

Professionalism matters
The Technique Is Only Part of the Standard.
Assisted stretching involves physical contact, positioning, leverage, communication, range of motion, and client trust.
ASA training emphasizes professional decision-making throughout the entire interaction.
Support Before Movement.
Communication Before Intensity.
Control Before Depth.
Consent Throughout the Session.
Professional Boundaries Always.
Know the Exit Before the Entry.
Students are taught to monitor client response, adjust range appropriately, recognize when a technique should be modified or stopped, and return the client safely to a supported position.
ASA education stays within assisted-stretching scope and does not teach practitioners to diagnose or treat medical conditions.

About ASA
Built From Hands-On Experience.
The Assisted Stretching Association was created by Chuck Choate, a hands-on assisted-stretching practitioner and founder of Strrretch — Maximum Performance Facility.
ASA grew from a simple question:
“How do we take the skill of professional assisted stretching and turn it into a system that other professionals and organizations can learn, repeat, and scale?”
Chuck Choate, founder of the Assisted Stretching Association
The answer became bigger than a certification.
ASA combines real-world hands-on experience with structured education, professional standards, certification, business implementation, and enterprise technology.
Practitioner-built. Professionally structured. Designed to scale.

ASA is a professional education, certification, and enterprise platform focused on assisted stretching. ASA serves individual fitness and wellness professionals as well as organizations seeking to launch and scale assisted-stretching services.
Who can become ASA certified?
ASA is designed for professionals and aspiring professionals interested in developing assisted-stretching skills. Individual eligibility requirements may depend on the specific ASA program or training format.
Is ASA only for large gym chains?
No. ASA can support individual professionals, independent facilities, single-location businesses, franchises, and larger multi-location organizations.
What is ASA Enterprise?
ASA Enterprise is the organizational side of ASA. It is designed to help businesses oversee training, certification, people, locations, rollout, performance, and quality as assisted stretching scales across the organization.
What is the 90-Day Pilot?
The pilot is a structured way for an organization to launch ASA in a limited number of locations, train the initial team, establish the service, review performance, and prepare for broader rollout.
Can I see ASA Enterprise before speaking with someone?
Yes. The public ASA Enterprise interactive demo uses fictional data and lets you explore the platform from multiple organizational roles without creating an account.
