Boca Raton has become home to a unique fitness space—an innovative stretching studio, StretchOn Space, where cutting-edge technologies meet a deep commitment to health. The studio offers a revolutionary approach to stretching and strengthening the body by combining modern technology with years of experience.
Today, we are speaking with the founder of the studio, Hanna Turchak, a three-time world champion, multiple European champion, and expert in stretching and biomechanical stimulation. By utilizing advanced methods of biomechanical stimulation (BMS) alongside classic stretching techniques, Hanna has developed programs suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels.
StretchOn Space helps its clients become more flexible, stronger, and more confident in their bodies. Today, Hanna will share the story behind the creation of the studio, explain what makes vibrostretching unique, and discuss how it can improve health, physical fitness, and overall well-being.
- How did the idea to open StretchOn Space in Boca Raton come about, and why did vibrostretching become its main focus?
The idea to create StretchOn Space was born out of a desire to bring something new and beneficial to the fitness world. Having worked with professional athletes and fitness enthusiasts for many years, I noticed a common challenge: many people lacked flexibility and access to quality stretching that was safe, effective, and accessible.
StretchOn Space is not just a studio; it is a unique space where every detail is designed with care for our clients’ health. Here, innovation meets warmth, offering a revolutionary approach to stretching and body strengthening. Modern technologies and my extensive experience have come together to help everyone unlock their potential.
Boca Raton was chosen intentionally. This city is a hub for people who actively care about their health and are always open to innovations. With many professional athletes and active individuals living here, vibrostretching became the main focus due to its versatility. It is ideal for improving physical fitness, maintaining flexibility, and enhancing overall well-being.
- What is vibrostretching, and how does it differ from traditional stretching methods?
Vibrostretching is an innovative technique that combines classic stretching with biomechanical stimulation of muscles and connective tissues. Vibrations allow for deeper muscle engagement, improved blood circulation, and activation of metabolic processes, making it significantly more effective than traditional stretching methods.
The key difference is that vibrostretching delivers faster and more noticeable results with less effort. This is particularly beneficial for those who value their time but want to maximize the benefits of their workouts.
- What is biomechanical stimulation (BMS), and how did it become the foundation of vibrostretching?
Biomechanical stimulation (BMS) is a method of impacting muscles using specially designed vibrations. Developed by Professor Nazarov, this approach is grounded in scientific research that has shown how vibrations activate deep muscles, improve elasticity, and boost blood flow.
BMS became the foundation of vibrostretching because it enables unique results that cannot be achieved with traditional methods. It is used both in professional sports and fitness training.
- Can you explain more about the BMS method and its scientific basis? What makes Professor Nazarov’s innovations unique?
The BMS method works by applying vibrations to muscles in a way that activates their natural mechanisms for recovery and improved tone. The uniqueness of Professor Nazarov’s innovations lies in their ability to precisely stimulate specific muscle groups, which is impossible with standard stretching.
This technology is ideal for improving flexibility, enhancing posture, and accelerating metabolism. Its scientific foundation has been confirmed by numerous studies, which is why the method is so effective.
- Why is the frequency of vibrations so important for achieving results?
The frequency of vibrations in the range of 18–33 Hz is considered optimal for stimulating muscle tissue, as it aligns with the natural resonance of human muscles and tissues. Research shows that vibrations within this range effectively activate muscle fibers, stimulate deep muscle layers, enhance elasticity, and improve blood flow.
These vibrations move along the muscle fibers, following their anatomical structure, providing targeted and even stimulation. This approach helps activate metabolic processes, accelerate recovery, and improve overall tone without overloading joints and ligaments.
This specific frequency range was chosen based on scientific research, proving it to be safe, comfortable, and effective for people of all ages and fitness levels.
- Are there real examples of professional athletes who have achieved significant results thanks to your approach?
Yes, the BMS method and Nazarov’s device are widely used by professional teams and athletes. These technologies have proven their effectiveness and have become an integral part of training processes in various sports. Notable U.S. teams using BMS include:
- Baseball (MLB): Cleveland Indians, Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Yankees.
- American Football (NFL): Dallas Cowboys, Green Bay Packers, New England Patriots.
- Basketball (NBA): Cleveland Cavaliers, Portland Trailblazers.
- Hockey (NHL): Los Angeles Kings, Pittsburgh Penguins.
The method is also widely implemented in leading university sports programs:
- Duke University, Stanford University, Indiana University.
- University of Michigan, University of Notre Dame, University of Texas.
- Purdue University, University of Alabama, and over 20 other top universities in the U.S.
Additionally, biomechanical stimulation is used at U.S. military training facilities, demonstrating its versatility and effectiveness.
BMS helps professional athletes recover faster, reduce injury risks, and improve their athletic performance. Thanks to this technology, athletes can achieve new heights in a wide range of sports. StretchOn Space is proud to offer a method that has proven its value globally.

- Tell us more about the Sobolev trainer. What makes this device unique, and how does it complement the “Healthy Back” vibrostretching program?
The Sobolev trainer was specifically designed to target and engage deep back muscles. Its uniqueness lies in its ability to combine mechanical stimulation with stretching, which not only strengthens muscles but also increases their elasticity.
In the “Healthy Back” program, the Sobolev trainer is used to prevent posture issues, strengthen the spine, and relieve tension in the lower back and neck areas. It is ideal for individuals who spend long hours sitting or want to improve their back health without excessive strain.
- Can you tell us more about the vibrostretching program for weight loss? What mechanisms of vibrostretching contribute to body shaping and muscle toning?
The vibrostretching program for weight loss works on multiple levels:
- Boosting metabolism: Vibrations stimulate metabolic processes, which help burn calories more efficiently.
- Improving lymphatic flow: This reduces swelling and helps combat cellulite.
- Muscle toning: Deep muscle engagement strengthens and sculpts the body for a firmer, more toned silhouette.
- Enhancing skin elasticity: Improved blood circulation stimulates collagen production, making the skin more supple and firm.
This program is suitable for those looking to lose weight as well as for individuals who want to maintain a lean and toned physique.
- What makes your programs safe and accessible for people of all ages?
Safety is our top priority. All programs at StretchOn Space are designed with the physiological needs of different age groups in mind.
We use gentle vibrations and safe exercises that do not overburden joints and ligaments. Before starting, each client undergoes a consultation to select a program tailored to their individual needs. Our approach is universal, ensuring comfort and results for everyone—from young adults seeking to improve flexibility to older individuals maintaining their health.
- How does the Nazarov trainer differ from other vibration devices on the market?
