Red Light Method opens 18th studio in Huntsville

Red Light Method has opened its 18th location in Huntsville, Alabama, extending a national rollout that now includes more than 70 studios in development. The new site adds to the brand’s Tennessee-Alabama footprint as the company pushes a membership model built around red light therapy and other recovery services.

Why it matters: - Red Light Method is expanding in the fast-growing health, recovery and longevity market. - The Huntsville opening adds another studio to the brand’s Tennessee-Alabama presence. - The company says more than 70 locations are in development nationwide, signaling continued franchising momentum. - The membership model is designed to make services that can cost hundreds of dollars per session available at a lower monthly price.

What happened: - Red Light Method opened its 18th location in Huntsville, Alabama. - The brand was founded by Allison Beardsley, who also created Club Pilates. - The Huntsville opening is the third by the Tennessee-Alabama franchise group in just over a year. - A fourth opening from the same franchise group is already on the way.

The details: - The studio’s core service is a 25-minute medical-grade, FDA-cleared red light therapy session. - Red Light Method has an exclusive agreement with Contour Light, a medical-grade red light system with FDA clearances for pain and inflammation relief and circumference reduction. - Depending on the studio, members can also use Power Plate training, Pilates reformer workouts, pulsed electromagnetic field therapy, exercise with oxygen therapy and infrared sauna. - Red Light Method says similar services elsewhere often cost $150 to $250 per treatment. - The company says members can use multiple services several times a week for about a couple hundred dollars per month. - The startup investment generally ranges from $350,000 to $450,000. - Equipment costs are reduced through negotiated vendor relationships. - The franchise model includes no franchisor kickbacks on equipment purchases. - Franchise support covers site selection, lease negotiation, construction, sales training, local marketing, membership presale and ongoing operations. - The Huntsville studio is at 6125 University Dr NW, B-24, Huntsville, AL 35806. - Franchise inquiries go to franchise@redlightmethod.com. - The company’s website is Red Light Method. - The company’s social accounts include LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube.

Between the lines: - The opening shows Red Light Method leaning on franchise growth rather than company-owned expansion. - The brand is positioning itself as a bridge between fitness and recovery, not just a red light therapy provider. - The pitch is aimed at consumers who want repeated access to multiple wellness services without paying per-treatment prices. - Huntsville fits the brand’s target profile of health-conscious, active communities with strong local demand for wellness services.

What's next: - Red Light Method expects continued expansion as more franchises move through presale, opening and ongoing operations. - The Tennessee-Alabama franchise group is set to open at least one more location. - Red Light Method will keep adding studios across the U.S. as part of its pipeline of more than 70 locations in development.

The bottom line: - Red Light Method is using franchising, bundled wellness services and membership pricing to scale in a crowded recovery market.
