StretchLab

Perhaps I had unreasonably high expectations… Not impressed at all. It may depend on who you get to ‘stretch’ you out. My 30 minute session did very little to loosen me up. As others have noted, the vibrating massager was the least effective part of the experience. I am not overly flexible, but none of the stretches felt particularly good or effective.
The worst part is they charge you TAX on top of the service. Never heard of taxing for a service.

The idea of this place is great! If you’re too lazy to stretch yourself out when you’re super tight, definitely check stretch lab out. My only complaint would be then ten minutes spent using the vibrating massage tool on my shoulders. It wasn’t particularly pleasant or unpleasant, and in my opinion doesn’t really do anything beneficial. Seemed like a waste to me.

Amazing place. I could tell a difference after my first 30 min stretch. I will defiantly be back for more. A++

This place is sensational! The people are kind and energetic. The owner is super cool! Everyone should check this thang!

This was my second visit to StretchLab and I am a huge fan! As a longtime athlete and current marathoner, I’m no stranger to tight muscles and aches and pains that come with training. StretchLab offers an affordable and effective service. I walked out feeling limber, relaxed and rejuvenated. The staff is helpful, knowledgeable and the perfect amount of chatty you want while someone is using their body weight to stretch you. I can’t wait to go back next week!
Free parking underneath the building and great proximity to Flake, Café Gratitude, and nearby shops.

I am a runner/​marathoner and often neglect stretching over 10 minute before or after a workout. And definitely cannot accomplish the type of intense stretching alone that the Stretch Lab therapist did to me! Steve worked on me by intense stretch & holds combined with a bit of massaging. I left in total relaxation! My body felt looser, and my mind felt fresh! I was sold with one session!
** convenient parking on Rose or 5^th
** next to Café Gratitide
** clean quiet atmosphere, new equipment
** I hear that Seth & Tim are most requested
** very informative & inexpensibe pricing!
** right down the street from my place!

First off, I am not a big « Unilocaler» but if something really stands out to me I feel like this is the least I can do for this new business and I wish them luck (selfishly as I am quickly becoming a regular and want it to succeed otherwise my hamstrings will start hating me again).
Two weeks ago I stumbled upon this place after having lunch at Oscar’s across the street. Walked in to see what it was all about and Courtney at the desk was very helpful. As a «close to 40 years old» man who has done very little stretching since my good old college football days I thought I would give it a try. There was an available therapist Calvin who was able to see me right away. They offer 20, 30, and 40 minute stretch and it being my first time I thought I would go with the 20.
The stretch was great! Walked out of there feeling amazing. I have now been 3 times in two weeks and plan on making this at least a once weekly occurrence. I highly recommend this for anyone like me who lives an active lifestyle but will never take time at the gym or after a run/​hike/​whatever to stretch yourself!
Do yourself a favor and go get a stretch… your body will thank you later!

Came in based on a recommendation from my co worker who said stretch lab really fixed her back problem.
I started feeling a pain in the nape of my neck when I used to do Crossfit, when the pain started back up again I was worried.
I spoke to one of the owners and they recommended I come and see Seth. I walked in a little after 11 and didn’t realize I needed to make an appointment whoops. So they penciled me in for 1pm.
My appointment with Seth was exactly what the doctor ordered. I will say it was a little painful, he was rubbing out muscles I didn’t know existed! I didn’t complain I just let him work his magic and when I walked out I felt as if I had been recalibrated. When he finished and I stood up I felt a difference in my posture and that feeling didn’t go away. All day I could feel the benefits of going to the stretch lab.
I read in a previous review that the beds were dusty but when I was paying I saw them cleaning the beds after every use.
It was clean, friendly and I’m super satisfied with the results. I will be back! Thanks stretch lab!

I LOVE the stretch bar! ANANDA is your go to girl! I adore her. She is so good at getting me limber and loose after a session and she’s funny and just all around cool, so go see her and tell her I sent you! :)
Besides that the staff is über cool, very clean modern facility, right next to Café Gratitude which also rocks! They are in such a cool location in Venice, no excuse, just go! Enjoy!

It’s been a while since I’ve experience such non existent front desk service. You walk in and you feel like you just interrupted a good conversation they were having. They don’t readily come to the front desk with a cheerful hello and try to help. I have to figure out the menu, prices and ask questions. It was AWKWARD. In case you’re thinking that they were busy, I walked in around 4:40 and I was the only client there.
I tell the lady that I want 30 minutes stretching. She says okay but I stand there since she does not tell me who will be working with me. No simple instructions. Nothing! I just stare at her for a 10 seconds and ask who I’ll be stretching with. Then she tells me. Now at this point, I regret coming in.
I meet Yarett and he starts with the handheld massager. The same exact one sitting in my storage cause it doesn’t do anything to relax me. (If you plan on going, ask them to skip this part!) He takes me to one of their beds (I don’t know what they are called) and it’s dusty. (If I were to go back, I would ask them to clean it before I lie down). Yarett started stretching my legs and I actually liked it. Stretching felt so good. It’s something close to what I was looking for! (I love how when you get thai massage, they really stretch you at the end. That’s exactly what I was looking for and Unilocal led me to stretch lab.) I was thinking of purchasing a package for a second then I quickly changed my mind. Why? Throughout the whole entire 30 minutes, the same group of people (who were chatting when I walked in) were chatting. They were bit too loud that I started to get real annoyed.
Though this is not a massage parlor, aren’t you coming in to stretch and de-​stress??? I expected a good end of the day relaxing stretch but that did not happen and I can’t believe I drove all the way from DTLA for this.
I’m hoping that their service will improve
but for now, I will just ask my thai masseuse to stretch me so that I can actually end my week with a relaxing, refreshing experience.

Excellent service. I had a great experience with both the staff and the actual stretching service. I had no idea I was one 30 minute session away from feeling this loose and limber in my neck and hips. I am always concerned that the employees of places with quick in and out services like this that involve sensitive bodily tissues won’t be up to standards and I have to tell you I was left in fantastic shape. And, the owner was in P90x. Come on, beat that.

Must check out if you need a good stretching. This place is absolutely amazing! Went there for the first time today and worked with David. He did an awesome job of hitting the areas I needed stretch the most. I already schedule my second appointment.

Love this place‼ Perfect therapy for me, once a week… feeling great, walking taller, taking my workouts to the max Thank you… one VERY satisfied customer

Great experience! Ask for Matt!

Stretch Lab is the best! I highly recommend it for anyone who spends the day sitting or an elite athlete who wants to improve their game. It’s a missing ingredient that will take your life to a new level of awareness and your body and mind will thank you and beg for more. Especially helpful for those wanting to improve joint comfort and mobility.

My hamstrings were like cement… and my weekly visits to StretchLab have made me much more limber and flexible… and my back feels better… Tim and Matt have been great to get me so I can run and box without pain… try it out!

Awesome experience and very unique service! After sitting in an office all day this is the perfect place to go before hitting the gym! Making this part of a weekly routine will definitely improve your quality of life!

Walked in last minute and got served right away. Intake is simple and on you to describe what you need done and they rock your world. Seth was amazing and understood great body mechanics and Qi systems and breath work and active resistance and kinesiology. Being a bodyworker for over 20 years I can tell you they know how to help you. Price was very reasonable I’m mean I feel like I stole my session 30min like $ 40.00 sweet deal.
Plenty of bike parking do not bring a car just über in or ride your bike ok but I think they even validate your parking if you have to drive great for old injuries holding you back
Get your groove back love this place
Thanks Seth you rock

Whatever that scapula thing he did was – it felt like sex for my lats!
Any active person needs this place. Period. I don’t care how casual or intense your workout routine is, you will feel like your joints got a sweet treat after each session.
This is a great place for Crossfitters. But also for yogis and runners and anyone who ever gets behind the wheel of a car.
Treat your musculature. You won’t regret it!

Great place, cool people, awesome idea!
Everything is brand new and clean, and the people working there really know their stuff. Right next to restaurants like café gratitude and Cerveteca and gyms like Gold’s, Paradiso, 220, YAS, and a yoga studio. Can come in right before or after a workout or after lunch.
Someone called Lazy Yoga haha
