I've been to SM now maybe 5 times and I am hooked. Decent street parking, friendly and genuine receptionist and instructors (love Alexis and Andrea), hip hop slow jams. At first worried it wasn't going to be much of a workout bc it's stretching and I got my first 2 classes for $20, but it's no joke if you are hoping to push yourself. I think most the classes are a 15 min warm up, then deep long stretches for 40, then a 5 min cool off. That routine wakes up your body like I have never known!I do pilates regularly but not yoga because it's spiritual or the instructors are into self-help and are corny. This is more of a hard core stretch for dancers and none of the THE STRONG POWERFUL PERSON YOU WILL BE WHEN YOU WALK OUT OF HERE nonsense More...

Great instructors with a positive environment! All the girls are very sweet. More importantly, you get a full body work out and work on your flexibility.

This place is literally a godsend. I'm insanely inflexible, have scoliosis and a couple herniated disks. I've been wanting a place that is educated on the body but isn't just a work out class. You work out for 20 minutes and then stretch the rest of the time, holding positions for about 3 minutes. It's painful but good pain! This is exactly what I need to become flexible (as flexible as one can be with back injuries lol) But I highly recommeUPDATE: After only 3 classes I can touch my touch for the first time since I was probably 11!!

Took my first full body stretch class here and loved it! 1. It's energized - not like a yin yoga class. Upbeat music + encouraging instructors. 2. The studio is gorgeous and very clean. The equipment is all set up for you when you arrive. I didn't see a water refill station, but could've missed it. Fill up your reusable bottle beforehand just in case.3. I was a little worried it was going to being intense Russian ballerina vibes, but the instructor and front desk staff were so friendly and welcoming. There were also a lot of other first-timers in class. 4. Updated lockers (with a built in lock) to store your stuff.5. Ample street parking on La Cienega and also a $5 valet lot (cash only) in back.6. You can go barefoot or wear socks in class. I opted for barre grip socks, but regular socks would've worked too. 7. Had a little trouble hearing the instructor over the music, but she demonstrated every movement well. 8. Lots of hands-on adjustments to help you get deeper in the stretch. Definitely inform the instructor of any injuries beforehand. More...

Good thing the music is turned up so loud; drowns out my cries of pain and OW OW OW...Very intense stretching especially for someone like me that rarely works out. The first class was tough; I was sore for 3 straight days.I've been here twice and I sweat within 10-15 minutes. It's a good workout. The second class felt a little easier and I'm much less sore.

Once upon a time, I was a dancer, and I still try to get into Pilates or dance class when I can, but my body isn't the same as it was when I was taking several classes a day (oh yes, and I'm like 20 years older now). I dropped into SM Stretching and found I was able to sit in my full front splits on both sides after warming up adequately! The instructor does provide some gentle guidance to go deeper into the stretches (not going to lie, it wasn't always pleasant) but it just goes to show that you can actually go further than you think of you just relax a little. Love the non-judge mental atmosphere and small class size. I wish they offered more class times but I'm definitely adding this to my routine whenever I can fit it in! More...

It's seriously the best. Way better than The Wall fitness stretch class or the stretch lab. My personal trainer is known to give the best stretch therapy but I would rather come here since I feel like I am getting a deeper stretch. It is painful yet good (you know what I'm talking about if you've gotten one before!) i can totally see how this class can help me become more flexible! If you are pretty stiff (like me) and wish to become more flexible, this is the place! Will definitely buy packages and start coming on weekly basis! More...

This honestly kicked my butt. You'll feel the burn after just a few mins. I already felt my body stronger walking out of the studio. Samira and all the SM coaches will push you and challenge you to stretch further than what you think is your limit. You'll be glad they do this. Samira was incredibly attentive and made sure we got the full stretching experience. I felt well taken cared of. Alexis was wonderful also in guiding us throughout the exercises. Great music, high energy, fun vibe. The studio was very clean and welcoming. You'll be working with top professionals here. Go check them out. More...

What an amazing addition to LA! I've been wanting to attempt the splits for a while and become more flexible, but wasn't sure how to approach it. Well SM Stretching does exactly that! The class starts with a 15 minute workout followed by a 45 minute stretch. The instructor guides you through every move. The location is very central with plenty of parking. The music is awesome too! Can't wait to finally do the splits. :) More...

Let's face it girls, if you don't stretch, your workouts are a waste of time. Samira and her team will get your time and workouts worthy. You will see results sooner than you think. Samira's team kicks my ass each time I visit the studio. Get out of the place sweaty and satisfied like I have been running sprints. Love it love it love it. My splits are just around the corner. Very happy with the studio. Thank you Samira More...
