What are the responsibilities and job description for the Stretch Therapist — Part-Time & Full-Time | StretchMed (Greater Boston) position at Stretchmed Cambridge & Medford?

Pay: $25–$30/hour for stretch sessions · $20/hour for non-stretch hours · commission on every package and credit sale
HELP PEOPLE MOVE, FEEL, AND LIVE BETTER — WITH YOUR HANDS.
StretchMed is a one-on-one assisted stretching studio. Our Stretch Therapists work with real people on real goals: the runner chasing a marathon PR, the nurse whose back is wrecked from 12-hour shifts, the 70-year-old who wants to get on the floor with her grandkids again. Every session is 1-on-1, hands-on, and genuinely appreciated — this is the rare fitness job where clients thank you on their way out, every single time.
You bring the movement background — we provide paid, hands-on training in our stretch method plus our stretch therapist certification program before you ever take a client.
REQUIREMENTS
You must have at least one of the following:
- A degree in Exercise Science (or a closely related field, e.g. Kinesiology)
- A personal training certification (NASM, ACE, ISSA, ACSM, NSCA, or equivalent)
- A yoga teacher certification (200-hr RYT or equivalent)
WHO THRIVES IN THIS ROLE
- Personal trainers who want off the sales floor and into skilled, hands-on work
- Exercise science / kinesiology grads building real clinical-adjacent experience
- Yoga instructors who want deeper one-on-one bodywork
- Massage therapists, PTAs, athletic trainers, and coaches who hold one of the credentials above
- Anyone with great hands, great energy, and genuine curiosity about how the body moves
WHAT YOU GET
- $25–$30/hour for stretching hours (based on experience), $20/hour for non-stretch studio hours
- Commission on every credit and package sale — your client relationships pay you
- Paid hands-on training plus our stretch therapist certification program
- Full-time benefits: paid vacation and up to 30% health insurance reimbursement (after 90 days, 35 hr/week average)
- Real growth path: our studio managers came up through this exact role
- Flexible scheduling — build a part-time book around your life, or go full-time
WHAT WE EXPECT (THE HONEST VERSION)
- Deliver excellent, attentive 1-on-1 stretch sessions — your book is the job
- Keep your working hours productive: when a client cancels, you help fill your book, support the studio, and keep the space sharp
- Some Sunday and holiday availability may be needed
- All-black uniform (we provide StretchMed shirts)
- A 30-day mutual trial period — we make sure it's a great fit both ways
PART-TIME VS. FULL-TIME
- Part-time: flexible hours, same pay rates and commissions, no benefits
- Full-time: ~35 hours/week average unlocks paid vacation and health insurance reimbursement
