In-Spiraling Movement Arts

I work in the building and had seen someone on one of the machines. I have an injured foot and have been unable to do any cardio so I was very interested in coming in. I walk into the studio and there was an instructor teaching a private client who looked me straight in the eye when I walked in (we were the only 3 in the studio), so she deginitely knew i was there. I figured she’d finish a set and come up to me but I stood around for 5 minutes, looked for a flier or info on my own that they had, grabbed a piece of chocolate and left. Oh, I did forget the man who walked in who seemed like am instructor who did acknowledge my presence but only to ask if I was leaving as he held open the door.
NO ONE even bothered to welcome me or say hello, ask if I needed help! I could’ve been a potential client but refuse to go to a place I’m not being paid any attn to. If they don’t pay attn to me now, what makes me think they’ll give a damn when I’m actually a client? Granted it was a Saturday and the front desk was empty so it looks like the front desk staff must have been off but if someone walks into a business they still need to be greeted regardless. Every potential new client is 5 more new clients and every bad customer experience loses 10 new clients from the 10 ppl that person told. Thanks for the chocolate, In-​Spiraling!

Jessie is unbelievable! I am a triathlete and over the past year, I have been dealing with a nagging pain in my butt area (sciata, piriformis) for more than a year. It flares up mostly on the run but I knew the bike was causing some of the problems. It’s a reoccuring problem and in the past, I have been able to treat it myself through yoga, pilates and diligent stretching but this time, nothing was working and actually it was getting worse. A friend recommended Jessie and at first was skeptical but I said heck, what have I got to lose.
Let me just say after my inital visit (an hour session), I was trying to figure out how I could manage to see him weekly! It was the first time I could move without something pulling or tightening in my back, legs and butt! Jessie is so intuned to the human body, I am amazed at how he knows where all the trouble spots are and they were in places I would have never thought of. I have never had any type of sports related doctor know more about my issues than Jessie. I
3 days after my first session, I followed up with a 30 min treatment since I had done a really long bike ride and didin’t want to undo everything he had done on the first session. My «knots» were back but now we realized the problems were stemming from the bike (since I hadn’t run since my first treatment) so that’s a whole different issue that I will address. Also, the knots broke up much easier than before so he knew they were fresh. But the great news was, the next day, I ran for the first time in a year without ANY pain. I am definitely on the right course of treatment and can only thank Jessie! I will definitely continue seeing him on a regular basis as I do feel anyone who regulary trains will always benefit from some regular maintenance:)

I have left 5 messages to make an appointment and not a single call back… good way to attract customer! you deserve ZERO stars !

Jessie is one of the top 3 masseurs I’ve had in my life in terms of his abilities. He knows his stuff, he goes deep without being painful, and he’s incredibly intuitive.
Unfortunately, I also find he’s a bit overextended in the last couple years because he’s gotten so popular. Sessions are start late and end early, and he sometimes seems distracted and not into it.
That being said, if you can get an appointment with Jessie (which is almost impossible these days), you’re in for a treat. Even if the massage is only 45 min, it’s better than most 120 min massages.

I love this studio… I’m a Pilates person but Lisa– Marie’s studio has turned me into a GYROTONICS devotee! Lavinia’s Sat morning class is the best way to start your weekend. All the instructors have been have been so knowledgable. I really enjoy the workout. I have a bad lower back due from an old injury and now after going to In– Spiraling. I practically never go to the chiropractor anymore. I look forward to my continuing education there! Great place!!!

I love this place! i do gyrotonics with danielle litman. she is amazing. I have lost 20 lbs working out with her.
I also do the infrared saunas. They are one of the only places in LA that has a sauna that you can adjust to near, mid, or far infrared. It makes your skin incredible in addition to burning major calories. They have showers you can use after your sauna. Read more about saunas and why i go three times a week:

I got a great deal on a series of 5 infrared sauna sessions through Groupon, so when I found myself fighting chest congestion this is where I came.
The location is conveniently located in the same building as my acupuncturist office, Natural Healing & Acupuncture, so it’s super convenient!
Parking in the neighborhood is easy to find — street parking for 1 hour, 2 hours or more can be found — as well as meters and their paid lot.
After I filled out a quick form, super sweet front desk receptionist Dara got the sauna ready for me and then showed me to it. The sauna is in a different suite from the front office, and in both suites they are clearly set up with some impressive-​looking pilates and gyrotonic equipment. It made me kinda curious to take a class.
The sauna is in a locked room, so I had my own private space — very nice. The room also has a pod-​type shower, a sink with a robe, towels, Q-​Tips, cotton balls, combs, brushes, and a massage/​treatment table.
Dara gave me a cold Vita Coco (nice!), set the sauna to time down an hour, and let me do my thing. She asked if I wanted her to check on me, but I said I’d be fine.
For about 40 minutes, I sat on the towel-​covered seat in the sauna, read their magazines, and sweated the cough right out of me. Afterwards, I replenished my electrolytes with coconut water, stepped into the pod shower and cooled off, then toweled off and got dressed and walked out into the world feeling a little shinier and newer.
This location is really great, and the Groupon deal is shockingly good. But honestly, I’d come back here even at full price.

hmmmmm — INTERESTING!
i have to agree with Olga on this one… my friend and i got the invigorating thing… so it said a 30-​min wrap and scrub, 30-​sauna, and 30-​min massage.
so we walked in and were immediately asked to strip. we were both new to this, so after some coaxing, it was explained to us. so we were in separate rooms and butt nekkid. they hand rubbed this chocolate/​coffee concoction all over, then with a paintbrush, painted clay all over my body. then im standing spread eagle so she can wrap my arms, legs, torso and nether regions with cellaphane. after that, i was asked to cram into a sauna with my other cellaphaned friend.
not thoroughly prepared for all this, we did not last the 30 minutes, and retreated to our own rooms where there were little showers. i did my best to get this dark stuff sweating off my body but left with a layer of it all over. they had soap, but no wash cloths nor loufas to wash myself which sucked. if i knew, i coulda brought my own shower stuff… anyways, halfway in the shower still, the girl came back in and asked me over to the massage table.
the massage was pretty legit, but was kinda rushed. i woulda been fine skipping all the drama in the beginning for an hour massage with my lady.
here is why i took away 2 stars — so when my friend booked it off of groupon, she asked that we be in the same room which they repeatedly said they would do, and we were separated. secondly, my friend was painted and wrapped by another girl, but as she laid naked on the table, the owner jessie, a guy walked in to massage her. i think it is unprofessional not to tell someone that they are going to have a male masseuse. whether they do or do not mind. bottom line, is that improper expectations lead to misunderstandings and an unpleasant experience.

A haven in the midst of the westside! A serene atmosphere where I can leave my worries at the door! I am looking forward to my next visit with Jessie, who has been helping me recover from surgery. The increase range of motion and decrease in pain has been amazing especially when I follow his visit with a Gyrotonic session! I have noticed that the effects lasts much longer than when I used to just get massage.

Finding Lisa-​Marie (Master Gyrotonic extraordinaire) & Jessie (Master of healing therapist) in one place was like I hit the jackpot! I mean this place is awesome! They have all of the best equipment, but that is just the beginning. Staff, environment, wow! I come here for my mind, being and soul.

This is the best Gyrotonic Studio in LA! It’s the only place that you’ll find all of the Specialized Equipment. If you havent tried Gyrotonic before, I highly recommend it. The movement gives you a unique energizing workout and creates more range of motion and flexability in your joints. It’s really fun too! The teachers are great and the studio is in the process of expanding so there will be even more space to move. They also offer bodywork that is unlike anything else! For now you can only do private one on one sessions but they’re going to start offering classes, body wraps, facials, scrubs AND a infrared sauna in September so check it out!

Let’s just say we call Jessie the «Magic Man».
I’m a triathlete, surfer, motorcycle racer, and adrenaline junkie so needless to say, I am constantly abusing my body one way or another. Jessie has a way of understanding the body like no doctor, massage therapist, PT or chiropractor that i have ever met. From sprains, strains, IT issues, impingements, back pain, muscular problems or basically any pains from being active, he is the one to see (Yes, I’ve had all of those issues at some point). Seriously do not waste your money on any kind of treatment unless you’ve seen Jessie first.
Not only does Jessie use his special technique to «fix» you, he will also explain the whys, how, and what to do for prevention and/​or use home treatment to help further injuries. I have referred fellow athletes to him and every single one has come back raving about him, and thanking me profusely for the referral.
Getting an appointment with him is sometimes a little difficult but it’s worth being patient for, and honestly, the best thing you could ever do for yourself. I’m one of the lucky ones with a monthly appointment which I guard quite selfishly.
Like I said, don’t waste your money ANYWHERE else. See him first with any issues or injuries. You won’t regret it.
