What You'll Learn
65 Stretches Across Level I + II
The complete CNU Stretch technique library — fascial stretching plus Active Isolated Stretching (AIS) — in a soft-touch protocol designed to down-regulate the nervous system.
GYR Client Feedback System
Replace the 1–10 pain scale with Green-Yellow-Red — a universally understood traffic-light framework that gets new practitioners to competency faster.
AIS Assessment Framework
Our Alignment Imbalance and Solution (AIS) lens gives you a structured, repeatable method to assess every client before any technique is applied.
Kinotek AI Movement Analysis
One of the only certification programs in the industry to integrate AI-assisted movement screening — objective, data-driven insight that subjective observation alone can't provide.
Live Supervised Practicum on Real Clients
Day 2 ends with a supervised practicum on real clients — not classmates. You leave with competence, confidence, and corrected technique from working instructors.
Day-1 Client-Ready Launch Kit
Walk out with photos and testimonials from your practicum clients — ready to launch your stretch service to your existing book Monday morning.

Certification FAQ
Is the CNU Stretch Certification in-person or online?
CNU Stretch is a hybrid (blended) certification. You complete 40+ online lessons and 2 quizzes before attending a two-day in-person intensive at CNU Stretch HQ in Dover, DE or at a host gym in your region. The hands-on portion is required — you cannot become certified through online study alone.
What is the prerequisite for the CNU Stretch Certification?
The Level I Foundation Certification has no prior credential requirement — anyone working in fitness, personal training, massage therapy, or studio operations can enroll. The Level II (Peak) Advanced Certification requires Level I as a prerequisite.
How does CNU Stretch differ from the StretchLab Flexologist certification?
CNU Stretch trains independent practitioners and gym owners to add stretch therapy as a service or revenue stream — without franchise fees, royalties, or territorial restrictions. StretchLab certifies Flexologists to work inside StretchLab studios under that brand. CNU Stretch is also approved for continuing education credits by NASM, ACE, AFAA, ISSA, and NCBTMB.
What does the $1,500 CNU Stretch Certification tuition cover?
Tuition includes the 40+ online lessons, 2 online quizzes, the two-day in-person intensive (lecture, demonstration, and supervised hands-on practice), all course materials, your CNU Stretch Certified Practitioner credential upon completion, and CEU credits with NASM, ACE, AFAA, ISSA, and NCBTMB. Travel, lodging, and meals during the in-person portion are not included.
What is the schedule of the in-person event?
The in-person intensive runs over two consecutive days, typically Saturday and Sunday, from approximately 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM each day. Specific cohort dates and locations are listed on the CNU Stretch homepage and in the announcement bar. Recent cohorts have been held in Dover, DE, Richmond, VA, Bigfork, MT, Chicago, IL, and Hood River, OR.
Will I be NASM, ACE, AFAA, ISSA, or NCBTMB certified after completing CNU Stretch?
CNU Stretch is an approved continuing education provider with NASM, ACE, AFAA, ISSA, and NCBTMB. If you already hold a credential with any of those organizations, completing CNU Stretch awards continuing education units (CEUs) toward maintaining that credential. CNU Stretch does not by itself confer a NASM, ACE, AFAA, ISSA, or NCBTMB practitioner certification — those are separate credentials issued directly by each organization.
