5-stars for the stretching and the expertise of the StretchMed Therapists are top quality (Kevin is…read moreGREAT) ... but read on. The business itself - 1-star. StretchMed might not be what you think it is so buyer beware when it comes to handing over your money. My session was free. It could have been 1-star rating and just 5-star for the service I recieved. I decided, if you read the reviews, you'll figure it out. Because upon reading the reviews, I'm very skeptical in handing over a credit card or 'buying' a membership. I might not be back unless it's a drop in emergency session. That being said... INCREDIBLE treatment, care, and knowledge from my Therapist, Kevin. (I went for the free 50-min session) I did the introductory FREE appointment and let me tell you, I went from not being able to do certain things a week before to the next morning, able to do things with more ease and fluidity. To be more specific: Kung Fu Being new to Kung Fu after a 15-year layoff in the Martial Arts, there are specific things (stances and kicks) that are very difficult for me to do right now. My goal, get back to where I was 15 years ago. I had my appointment on a Friday night and the next morning, found, to my shock, I was moving so much better and getting into stances with more ease than before. I literally was shocked. I'm sold - I need to really work on my stretches. Specific stretches. Kevin was great - but told me I shouldn't be doing Kung Fu. Not, do it carefully, or do it with caution- but NOT. I made sure I heard him right and he recommended that I do not do Kung Fu. Well... that is not going to happen. I would think there would be a, do it with caution, be careful of this and that, follow up a class with these stretches, etc. While I completely understand his intention is to protect me, I'm not going to just quit after starting up a month ago. That being said - I completely understand. (So Kevin, nothing against you 100%... it's just I would have liked a more cautionary recommendation so I can continue enjoying what I love while being careful). I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Kevin as your StretchMed Therapist 100 and 10 percent! He provided great stretches, showed me what I needed to work on, and I was on my way. I had to do the pricing when I got home because when presented the pricing after my appointment, it didn't make sense right away. I am a financial analyst and at first glance it looked weird based on initial calculations (and dehydration). Credits vs dollars is where they get you. Came here to Yelp and am concerned about the reviews - the pricing plan (and Membership) is reflective of all the bad reviews. 25 min - 1 credit 20 min - 2 credits 55 min - 3 credits 70 min - 4 credits You can buy 4 credits for $80. Does it look odd to you? So why not book a back-to-back-to-back-to-back for 4 credits and get 100 minutes? Those times should increase! If you're scheduling more time, there should be less credits spent. 4 credits for 70 minutes of work is less value. That's 17.5 minutes per credit if you want a 70-min session. You're 'spending more' (in credit) for less service. Go to any massage parlour, as purchased time increases, the price per minute on average decreases. Climbing Gyms, Martial Arts studios that do it by days, Personal Training, Workout gyms... all have the same business practice. Pay more money, you get more time/services. Burke Williams in Pasadena for a 35-min 'Pure Relaxation' massage its $140. That's $4/min on average. Book a 80-min massage its $230. An average of $2.88/min. People reviewing saying this company is dishonest - well... this pricing is reflective of it but hidden in membership and credits. What if you are a member, but don't go quite that often, then cancel because you can't afford it - you lose all your credits. Could be 20 credits built up. That's is a whole lot of BS... While I get the whole Gym Membership - you don't go you don't go. You lose PERIOD. That's on you. This one is, you'll have to pay MORE MONEY to get all those credits back to use, but those credits are for future services. StretchLab (not Med) in Pasadena offers two types of sessions: 25-min - $65 50-min - $120 Or some packages: 3x25 min sessions - $179 3x50 min sessions - $339 Do the math. StretchMed pricing tiers DO NOT work for me. Especially, the more you pay (in credits) the less you get philosophy. So the stretching is great and Therapists who do that are wonderful and expert at what they do, the business practice itself... not my cup of tea. If you want a great stretch, ask for Kevin. Get your money's worth at least. He's the only reason this gets 5-stars. On a personal note, I might sign up for Yoga.

I tried several of these assisted stretch businesses and this was the worst of the 3 models. I…read morejoined as a member because it was the closest to me and the cheapest; and like most things in life you get what you pay for. I was recently injured in a car accident and unable to continue; until I fully heal. When I joined they said I can pause at any time and Despite me telling them I needed a pause they continue to bill me monthly against my wishes. When I saw the most recent charge (actually two charges) I immediately informed them that I should not be charged during the pause in my membership and that I plan to continue after I'm cleared medically. The conversation was like talking to a desperate car salesman. One excuse after another with no offer to refund the last two charges made (both came after I notified them I require a pause). I had to contact my credit card company and file a dispute in order to get one of the two charges refunded. I actually attended at least 6 months and was not on the basic membership for most of that time. I was going to two 40 minute sessions each week; and I only point that out to Show that I was a very good customer, and am still treated like a mark. This company doesn't care at all about their clients, they only care about getting recurring charges billed on your credit card. In fact, they didn't even ask me why I had to pause my sessions instead they used their usual pressure tactics to try to schedule another session.

I was almost going to give up of my legacy status by not registering at all but I gave in to just…read morethe 5k only and didn't do the 5k + 10k challenge. The event is still on a Sunday evening, the 5k starting at 5:00pm. Packet pickup was the day of event starting at 3:00. We had to sign a waiver over at a different table and then bring it to get our bib. I don't recall being sent this waiver in the email. It would have helpful if they provided it ahead of time so we can just bring it already completed. Registration was still open the day of event so I don't know if that says anything about having less participants than previously. I know they lost some people when they got rid of the half marathon. The course was out and back for the 5k. The highlight of the course was running through the 2nd Street tunnel. At the finish line, we got organic coconut water, Kind Bars, and Opal apples. Bai drinks were given out at the festival area near the DJ. I liked the DJ by the way; he was from a local radio station. In the beer garden, you got to choose from beer OR wine. Angel City brewery brought it with 4 beers on tap. Barefoot wine brought 4 types of wine that we were able to sample. They also brought giveaways. Time tracker was the chip that you attach to your shoe lace and had to be returned. I saw people that threaded the chip through their shoelaces but I used the twisty ties which made it simpler for the volunteers to just cut off at the finish line. Gear check was easy. Registration for next year is already open and you bet that I signed up. As a legacy runner, we got an extra medal in addition to a 5k and 10k one. They've always had the best medals, being all shimmery. *bling bling* #GetTheGold

Halfie #22 This was…read moremy first race of the 2013 year, and I hold this race very near and dear to my heart. I had been experiencing neuro issues for 2 months prior to this race and I was damned I was going to miss out on my passion because of this debilitating disability. My goal was to complete the race in 3 hours - Even if I had to walk the whole damn thing, that's what I was going to do. Race packet pick up was fast. No thrills or frills. In fact, I was a little irritated that they ran out of my sweatshirt size. REALLY?! So I had to settle for a much larger size that the BF can wear. Following the expo, you pretty much just wait around, which sucked. You have to manage your time so that you get to the start line by 830-845p. My advice is to grab a carb dinner and nap, and that's exactly what I did. Our hotel was merely a half mile from the start, which was awesome. It was cold and late. I ran in a jacket, which I rarely do unless it is really cold. The glow in the dark attire is recommended so you can see other runners. If you have a headlamp, definitely use!!! I was following people with headlamps to help me see. There were some parts of the run that were absolutely gorgeous - city lights and Dodgers Stadium - but other parts were really shitty - Dodgers parking lot and ghetto streets of LA. I expected much much more, LA!!! I was really disappointed in that respect. The after party? What after party? Everyone dispersed and went home or back to their hotels. Nice open concept but nobody stayed around. It was too cold! I didn't finish until almost 1am and I was spent. Who wants to party in an empty parking lot anyways? Medals were bling and totally loved! I understand that changes have been made for the next race, so I'm hoping for this race to become more successful in the future. Although I didn't PR or even come close to my PR, I cried and prayed that I had strength to continue racing, and I'm so thankful that God gave me my running legs again. MC IS BACK... P.S. Thanks Petey for pushing me! Also, for photobombing my race pics ;) ========================================================== STATS: Chip Time 2:41:54 Pace 12:22
