The Certification
Here’s What You Get. Three days. One standard.
One way in, and it’s the room. Three days of hands-on training with live coaching is how this work is meant to be learned — you can’t learn to read a body through a screen. Both cohorts run Friday to Sunday, so it’s one day off work, not three.
All 3 Days In-Person + Practitioner Playbook
Practitioner + Business
Full certification tuition

How You Get In
There’s No Checkout Button. On purpose.
That’s the training. Now the part most people don’t expect: you can’t just buy a seat. Twenty people spend three days working on each other, and the room is only as good as who’s in it — so we start with a short assessment instead. It takes about three minutes and tells us who you are and what you’re building.
Part One
Your goals. What you want your week, your income and your work to look like a year from now.
Part Two
Your experience. Wellness, fitness, healthcare, bodywork, business — or none of it yet. All answers are fine.
Part Three
Your readiness. When you’d want to start, and what’s realistically in the way right now.
Part Four
Your questions. Whatever you actually want answered before you’d consider a seat.
Be Honest With Yourself
Not For Everyone.
This is a real certification, not a weekend workshop. Read both columns before you spend three minutes on the assessment. If column two sounds like you, this isn’t the room — and we’d both rather know now.
You’re a Fit If
This Is The Room
- ✓You’re a therapist, trainer, or bodyworker ready for a real second skill — or you’re starting fresh and serious about it.
- ✓You want to charge $150 to $300 per session and build a practice that supports your life.
- ✓You’re coachable. You’ll show up, take feedback, apply it.
- ✓You want a methodology you can stand behind.
- ✓You can clear three full days and get to a cohort city.
- ✓You’re ready to own your income, schedule, and clients.
If most of these landed, take the assessment. It costs you nothing but three minutes.
This Isn’t For You If
Don’t Apply
- ×You want a weekend certificate to hang on the wall and never use.
- ×You want to copy a script instead of learning a methodology.
- ×You’re looking for passive income.
- ×You expect guaranteed earnings without doing the work.
- ×You won’t finish the course or show up to your skills demo.
- ×You can’t get to a cohort city for three days. There is no online version.
- ×You’re shopping for the cheapest cert. We’re not that.
If column two is you, we’re not the room. No hard feelings.

Meet Your Mentor
Ben the Baptist
Founder · The Stretch Loft · Stretch Loft Academy
I built The Stretch Loft from a single room and a methodology I refused to compromise on. What started as one practitioner became a full studio, then a certification program, then a movement of practitioners changing lives in their own cities.
I’ve trained 500+ practitioners across the country. Therapists, trainers, athletes, and people who’d never touched stretch therapy before walking into the room. The methodology works because it’s built on the body, not on trends.
That’s also why I read every application myself. Twenty seats is twenty seats — I’d rather give one to someone who’s going to use it than fill the room and hope.
“I don’t teach you to do what I do. I teach you to own this work the way I own it. Then go change lives in your own city.”
How It Works
Simple. Fast. No Pressure.
There’s no checkout button on this page on purpose. You tell us about you, we tell you honestly where you stand, and money only comes up if we both think you belong in the room.
