    I have notoriously tight neck and shoulders and I have tried so many different treatments and massages to try to alleviate the pain, stiffness, and tightness. I saw an ad on Facebook for 50% of myofascial release and decided to try it out. This was my first experience with myofascial release and did some research ahead of time but I just went in with an open mind. There appears to be a small parking lot on the side of the building that Muscle Lab is in but I wasn't sure so I parked on the street. My appointment was at 10am so there were plenty of spots available. I was greeted right away when I entered and the therapist who was working with me, I think her name was Emma, got me a robe to change into as I was wearing leggings. (make sure you wear shorts if you're getting a full body treatment as they'll work on your quads) Emma was very knowledgeable, sweet, and had a bubbly personality. You could tell she really loved her job and her coworkers. She did myofascial release, which from what I experienced, is applying pressure to areas that are tight and need a release. She also used a heated scraper and did cupping on my shoulders and quads. Compression boots were also part of the service but I was short on time as I went during a work day so I skipped that. If you haven't tried compression boots before, you've got to try it. It feels like a firm hug on your legs and feels great! The pressure applied to my shoulders and the scraping felt good. I am so tight in these areas, any pressure feels nice. The work done on my quads was really painful, I won't lie, but it also felt weirdly good. I think it's because I rarely pay any attention to this area. I felt really good for days after my treatment. Regular massages only bring me relief for a few hours so this was a pleasant surprise. My appointment was about and hour and a half without the compression. I signed up for another myofascial release as well as stretch therapy ( this was also half off) and I can't wait to go back. I'm really hoping with monthly treatments, my neck and shoulders will get somewhat better. Wish me luck!

    Was doing a whole day of health and wellness focused appointments and this was my last appointment as a reward for everything else I got done that day Not only did I want a massage, but I wanted to try cupping, and Liem was my therapist. Liam was very warm and friendly ask questions also a good communicator. In the beginning of this massage, it was really lquiet and calm, but as more people came in and nonstop conversation started it really harsh the overall mellow vibe . In general, my body felt good after the experience, Liem was definitely able to dig deep into use the muscles. This is a comfortable and plus size friendly environment..

    Much needed body massage and restoration. We had their Myofascial Release Session Max which includes theragun massage, cupping and scraping therapy! The scraping is so amazing, yes it does hurt but it has the pain that releases my body from tightening. After my session I thought I will be so sore but I was not, it released my muscles from tension and reduced body pain. It was amazing and I recommend it to my athletic friends! I think the only downside for me is that the studio is open, meaning there will be no rooms or dividers between you and other people, if you value privacy you might need to check the place first. They do give you blanket if you need it to cover yourself. The therapist can come and go because they also answer to other customers like they will answer phone calls or anyone that walks in. Aside from this everything else is good. We had a badminton tournament the next day and we felt amazing and in shape!

    Been to this location many times before, but today was exceptional, as Ariana made the whole experience different and wonderful. From her welcome smile and attitude to walking me through the menu options versus what I had before and double checking on my history with my medications lists. The experience with the Revival IV was amazing and she got light hands when it came to the needle injection placed on my arm. She offered waters and leggings for Compression therapy, and she was attentive and friendly the whole time we were there. If you ever there and if you're planning on stopping by for any kind of therapy, I suggest you call in advance and check if Ariana is there to assist you and check you in, and provide you with the best possible treatment options and plan. Thank you for hiring this level of professionals.

    My fiancée and I have been going hard in the gym and were on the lookout for a solid recovery spot. We always pass by Muscle Lab on Whitsett & Ventura finally popped in, and it did not disappoint. I got a myofascial release with Johanna (cupping, scraping, massage) and she was locked in. Broke down my tension areas and gave solid tips on what to work on outside the session. Very knowledgeable. The whole place is a vibe..super clean, well put together, and the aesthetic is dialed for Instagram. We did the leg compressions after (highly recommend) and we're eyeing the IV's next, especially after a long weekend of sending. If you care about recovery, you should probably pull up. Most of these other recovery spots feel like robbery for what you pay..We'll def be back

I've tried a mix of classes and services -- from challenging Pilates to deeply relaxing yin sessions and sound baths -- and each one offers something a little different depending on what I need that day. I also love that the infrared sauna sessions are set up in your own private room, which makes the experience feel even more relaxing and personal. They also do a great job of creating a sense of community. From time to time, they host special weekend events with thoughtful touches like goodie bags and guest sponsors, which makes you feel really valued as a member. I've even joined one of their group hikes, which was such a fun way to connect outside the studio. They've also brought in guest instructors for things like dance and Zumba-style classes, which keeps things fresh and interesting. What really keeps me coming back is the overall experience. The space is always clean, calm, and beautifully maintained, and I love how easy it is to just show up -- mats, towels, and props are all provided. Parking in the back is also a huge plus, especially for LA. I've found myself telling friends about it and inviting them as my guests, which says a lot. It genuinely feels like a little wellness sanctuary, and I'm really glad I found this place.

    My experience with Artha ended very poorly after several years of association with the facility…read more I received numerous promotional messages encouraging trial visits, so I attended both the West LA and Studio City locations to determine which classes and schedule worked best before committing to a long-term membership. This is a normal step for anyone evaluating a fitness or wellness membership. Later, management accused me of violating their policies simply for attending both locations and permanently revoked my access. The explanation provided was inconsistent with the promotional outreach they themselves sent encouraging trial participation. The situation escalated further when I accompanied a referred guest using a guest pass that had been given to me by another member. Instead of handling the matter professionally or discussing it in good faith, "Miguel" imposed a permanent ban and stated he would not correspond further. The lack of flexibility, unwillingness to review context, and overall tone from management was disappointing for a business that markets itself as a community-oriented wellness space. Potential members should carefully review all policies and be aware that enforcement may be strict and final regardless of circumstances.
