StretchLab Del Mar - Great jobs - Fitness & Instruction Near Me - San Diego, California

A good stretch is seriously underrated and adding weekly Stretch Lab visits to my self-care routine has been a gamer changer. The Del Mar team are all super friendly and make the whole experience positive. I have never had any issues with scheduling or getting support to ensure my credits are applied. I love that once I found a flexologist that was a good match for me, I could book in ahead and have consistency. I always look forward to my regular Friday morning sessions with Chavva! She is extremely knowledgeable and efficient while also taking time to understand my specific needs at the beginning of each visit. I always leave feeling like I got a good "tune-up". My muscles feel stretched and less tense and I often go home with some stretches I can add to my routine too. Chavva is always in a great mood - she is professional but also friendly and easy to talk to (sometimes a great distraction from tight muscles getting stretched). I had such a positive experience that now my husband also sees Chavva and my son, a soccer player, has also been to see her. As an athlete herself, she really understands his needs and has been a great addition to his care routine too! read more

Today was my 100th session at StretchLab (Carmel Valley and Solana Beach locations), and I couldn't be happier. The flexologists always tailor each session to my specific needs. On weekends, I stay active with dance and yoga, but during the weekdays I spend long hours sitting at a desk using a keyboard and mouse. I truly believe that the reason I'm still able to stay active on weekends--even as I'm not getting any younger--is thanks to StretchLab. Highly recommend! read more

StretchLab Solana Beach and Del Mar are an excellent addition to your exercise and or self care routine. Each flexologist that I've worked with has been very knowledgeable and provided a great experience. Give it a try, you won't regret it! read more

Although the actual work they do is fairly good, they do mislead you when signing you up. I signed up for a three month contract and sure they give you documents to sign -In the fine print it requires a month notice after the three months, but they certainly DO NOT make that clear when you sign up. The righteous thing to do is to tell clients you do understand that at the end of the term you have to give a months notice. After my three months I felt better and said thank you. I am done and they charged me for a further month that I did not need.SO BE CAREFUL when signing up , be sure to get details. Like all contracts they try to get as much out of you as possible. As a business person, they were so silly to do this to me instead of having a raving fan - I am now critical of their business practices, sure they got an extra $320 from me, but I will never go back and I will tell friends to never use them A rather silly business decision long term. read more

I usually have my stretches with Tony and it's like hanging out with a friend while he's trying to turn you into Gumby. The staff is super friendly. The stretches can be painful but in a good way, and they listen to what your issues are and try to address them. I've been stretching my posterior chain of my legs to help with my back pain and it's been really helpful. read more

I've been coming to StretchLab Del Mar for about half a year now, and I couldn't be happier with the results! I've had the pleasure of working with both Chavva and Jordy, and I have to say they each bring something unique and incredibly valuable to the table. Jordy truly has magic hands -- the way he works with manual therapy has helped my neck and shoulder pain in ways no chiropractor ever could. He's highly proficient, attentive, and has been a game-changer for my mobility and comfort. Chavva is wonderfully professional and has such a great personality. She helped me significantly improve flexibility in my lower body, and I've noticed a real difference in how I move and feel. Every session with her was not only effective but also a pleasure to attend. Together, their very different styles complemented each other perfectly, and both helped me improve in so many ways. Stretching here has not only relieved pain but also boosted my overall health and well-being. If you're looking for results and a team that genuinely cares, StretchLab Del Mar is the place to be. read more

Note: I'm writing this review for the Carmel valley/Del Mar location; although I highly recommend Stretchlab's anywhere to anyone. If you're not familiar with the stretchlab concept, a well trained person stretches you (always one on one) in myriad ways you cannot replicate. She/he applies sound biomechanics and kinesiology principles that align with your goals and objectives. You begin with a brief baseline assessment using a high tech machine that scans your body and searches for areas that require attention. From there, you work with a trainer to develop a plan specific to you. And, if you don't care about training to achieve any physiological or sport specific goals, that's fine. You can go to stretchlab solely because it feels great! Here's the thing. Very few of us stretch at all and almost no one stretches enough -- even though it's common knowledge that stretching is essential to skeletal and muscular health. Stretchlab not only ensures you make the time to do what your body needs, it does it in ways that are efficient and effective. Regardless of age or ability, stretchlab needs to be an event on everyone's calendar. If you're 40 or older, it's absolutely necessary! Sign up for the free intro and experience it yourself. I've had many sessions from many different technicians in the Del Mar location, and each one has been excellent. All a little different and that's been a good thing. The owner Angie is enthusiastic, friendly, and very helpful. I feel very fortunate that I discovered Stretchlab Del Mar and want everyone to find a Stretchlab near them. read more

This has completely changed my life. My back pain is gone, and I cannot thank Erin enough. She's incredibly knowledgeable, nice and loves to work with her clients, Jill in the front desk is a joy and welcomes you with a huge smile. I also love Alexis.!!!!! read more

I came in with full body aches from working out too much at another class. Robert made all my aches go away in 1 class not joking! There was only one other person in my class so it felt like a private session (almost). My first time here, I would say it's a mix of physical therapy (for those who are not medically injured) and self massage therapy. read more

Great place to get stretched! Friendly staff/flexologists. I bring my father here and it has helped with his strength and mobility. His favorite flexologists so far are Ashley and Olivia. read more

Stretchlab is the real deal! All the team members are highly trained to handle your physical pain and work on your muscle groups. Tony is the best as he straightens out my walk, alleviates cramps in muscles and does more than I ever got in a physical therapy session. read more

Having been a long-time runner, I developed a sciatic issue in my leg and had to pull back from running. Last December, I learned about StretchLab and decided to give it a try. They hooked me up with Jordy, who is simply fantastic. I am a bit blown away as to how my body responds so positively to the stretches and what a difference it makes. Last Sunday, I ran a 5K for the first time in a very long time. I thought my leg would scream at me. It didn't. It let me know I did more than usual, and I was very glad to see Jordy on Tuesday. But wow, this is big for me. So I want to share how great Jordy is and how much I appreciate the StretchLab in keeping this body stretched out. It works. read more

Stretch lab is amazing. As someone who used to be a personal trainer and spent a lot of time in the gym, knowing how to do it right, I still managed to mess this part of my body health up. Stretching on your own can't compare to assisted stretching. This StretchLab has a great team (they call them flexoligists I believe) that are very well trained with many of them having other physical fitness and sports experience. And the management / ownership of this location is top notch. I highly recommend assisted stretching and with the Del Mar StretchLab in the Highlands specifically. Your body will feel great, and so will you. read more

I have been going to StretchLab since their inception. Before I started, I had severe pains in my joints and had difficulty getting out of my easy chair. In just about two years, I can now hop up out of my chair with no pain and I lost over 40lbs. The therapists and Angie (owner) are amazing. They guided me through every step of my health and well being. My diet is much better and I am walking without pain. I can't recommend StretchLab enough. They changed my life for the better. Sincerely, David Fargo Owner/Vice President, Director of Purchasing & Estimating Four by Four Construction, Inc. read more

Stretch Lab Del Mar saved me! I retired and was ready to get back to working out - started to run and realized I needed help. Went to SL and from the moment I walked in I was greeted with smiles and kind words. I worked with the team and they helped me to return to the world of exercise. I cannot thank them enough for all that they have done and as I return to hiking, slow running and Pilates I know it is because of them! read more

Hi guys, if you're in need of a good tension relaxer or whatever it may be, you should go to Stretch Lab!. Everyone is so super friendly. Ever since I have been going, besides feeling so much better, I also have gained a second family. You will absolutely love it and will not regret it. It's great for everyone from kids to young adults to older people. Everyone is so super friendly and all the Flexologist are so sweet. I highly suggest you go there! For me, I am super greatful to have them in my life. There is that one in Del Mar and they also have another location in Solana beach, for those of you who live in Solana beach. If you have any questions or concerns don't be shy to call them and ask more information about them. They are truly one in a million and all of them are my hero's. So please, take my advice and go to stretch lab read more

StretchLab Del Mar - Stretch lab - Fitness & Instruction Near Me - San Diego, California

See all

I don't normally write reviews, but I HAD to for the sweet front desk girl, Brittany! I finished my first row house class and stumbled here not knowing much about stretch lab, but Brittany approached me and told me the run down and even squeezed me in for a late appointment! My stretchologist was Tony, who was also amazing and made the one on one stretching comfortable, informative, and not at all awkward! I was worried about a one on one stretch being quiet and weird, but Tony was really nice and a great conversationalist which I appreciated! Thank you stretch lab !! read more

Have had the luck to get David C. as my Flexologist. He listens. He's got a "fix" for the things that need attention, but most of all, he cares. You can pay someone to do a job but you can't pay him to care. He cares and I am glad I found him!! read more

Ashley my flexologist at StretchLab has been fantastic. The 1x/week stretching sessions, over the last year, have really helped to eliminate my lower back pain and had also helped with my overall flexibility and range of motion. I'm a golfer so the stretches help with soreness and injury prevention. The front desk staff is always helpful and caring, ease to schedule appointments. I go to the Del Mar location. Thanks read more

I had the pleasure of meeting Angie, the owner. Over the top gracious, helpful, and accommodating. She was sincerely interested in how I was doing and if I am happy. I told her that my trainer, Marquis, was absolutely the best. He listens, asks the right questions, offers great advice and explains everything so well. The stretches mainly helped my hamstring and now pain is all gone. This investment for myself and my continuous health journey is well worth it. Pay them a visit and feel relief soon! They are caring and attentive. Customer service on all levels is unbelievable! read more

After joining the Stretchlab for over a year, the weekly stretching helped relieve my muscle tightness accumulated from work and exercise throughout the week. Moreover, I think it is an excellent complement to acupuncture or chiropractic. From my personal experience, I recommend the practitioners Aqilah and Norbie as they are all well-experienced, patient, and caring. They will discuss your need, and from the stretching history, they methodically customize your plan about how they will loosen up muscles/soft tissue for you. In short, they are both pretty professional and detailed; more importantly, they help me find my blind spots if I do stretching on my own; this is why I feel my overall body flexibility has gradually enhanced over the days, and it has also improved my game performance. read more

Three months ago I began my journey at StretchLab Del Mar. I asked for a female Flexologist and was assigned to Angela. I truly hit the "jackpot"! After 12 months of struggling with severe sciatic pain I was seeking alternatives to physical therapy, chiropractic adjustments and shots. From the 1st day Angels was gentle, concise, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. After 3 sessions my pain had decreased by 70%, my mobility improved 100%, my overall well-being had been restored! Today, after only 3 months, I am pain free, stand and walk like a ballerina and feel so very grateful. With Angela's guidance, detail with breathing, hearing me, working with my needs she has restored my health. Being active is my happy place and working with Angela has made all the difference! read more

I am so happy I went for the 15 minute introductory stretch session they were offering when they had their grand opening because this is exactly what I've been looking for! I didn't hesitate buying a monthly subscription to get my stretch on! I went with the 4 stretches a month for $169. It's relaxing, refreshing and calming. I feel like Gumby being stretched into a better mobile body. I highly recommend coming here if you're into finding more mobility and less aches throughout your body. The lab is extremely clean, spacious and parking is good since it's located in the newly remodeled area of the Highlands. I've tried a few flexoligists (Olivia, Robert, Tony) and they are highly trained and professional. They all have backgrounds in the field so I feel confident I am in good hands. Don't forget your sticky socks either, they require you to wear them during your stretch. If you like to feel good - go here! read more

I've been going to stretch lab for 8 weeks now and I really love it. I feel great after I go each week. I see Aqilah and she is very professional and knowledgeable. I've also worked with Tony once and he was great as well! Every time I walk in I'm greeted and it's a very welcoming place. I tell all of my friends to go check it out. Since I've been going I've noticed a lot of improvement with my flexibility! :) read more

I had been suffering from a herniated disk and sciatica pain for nearly a year now. I tried a mix of Physical Therapy, Massage Therapy, Acupuncture and Chiropractic care, but I could not get right - the pain and stiffness would not go way. My pain became so bad, I could not sleep at night for months (literally). Finally a friend told me to try StretchLab where I was connected with Kendra as my flexologist. After only two 50 minute stretch sessions with her (and following the plan she gave me for stretching on my own) I was able to sleep through the night within 2 weeks! Now after only one month, she has me nearly 90% and back to full activities without pain. I cannot say enough great things about Kendra and the Stretchlab team. I could add stars to the review I would. Well worth giving it a try if you are suffering from any type of annoying pain. read more

Recently joined. Staff is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. I have worked with Ashley for a few sessions and really appreciate her attention to detail and her coaching on getting more flexible, stretching on my own. I recommend StretchLab Del Mar read more

I've been going to Stretch Lab in Delmar for about 8 months. I really get a great stretch session with Aqilah. She is so patient and never rushes the stretch, allowing me to focus and fix my mind on the muscle/area being stretched. This, I think this is the most important part of working with a flexologist. She also counts every stretch which I appreciate because it keeps me focused. I have also noticed better performance in my workouts since going to Stretch Lab. Thank you Stretch Lab And Aqilah. read more

Just had my first full stretch session, with Emily, and it was amazing!! I already feel so much looser in my shoulders and hips. They have a special technique to stretch you out, and it is effective. I work on the computer all day and it has really put a strain on my body. I am happy I got a monthly membership because I can tell that this will help me tremendously. Will update this review after a couple of months :) read more

I had a total shoulder replacement and now that P.T. is over with, I need to stretch to keep my shoulder limber and from freezing up. I went to a group class and had Aqilah as my flexologist that day and I'm absolutely thrilled with how my session went. She was attentive, played really good music, and her voice is zen AF. I'm definitely going to come back to stretchlab and hopefully work with Aqilah. My shoulders and actually, the rest of my body felt fantastic after class. Streeeeeeeeeeeetch. read more

I decided to try StretchLab about 3 months ago. I have had lower back pain, especially in the morning sometimes, for a number of years. I was also experiencing numbness in the bottom of my feet which, of course, was very concerning. I had visited an orthopedic doctor who used imaging to see that one of the discs in my lower back was applying pressure to my spinal cord and this was the likely cause. He suggested physical therapy. StretchLab has a great methodology for increasing flexibility, over time, in all the muscles in your body. I go in for a 50 minute session once a week and the trainer (in this case Aqilah) assists you in positioning, isolating the muscles being targeted for stretch, then applying pressure carefully and progressively to safely stretch the muscle, increasing the level of stretch I can achieve even in one session, and certainly increasing over a series of sessions. Aqilah rapidly identified that my hamstrings were quite tight, and that they almost certainly were having effects on my lower back because of the tightness, pressure on my lower back, and misalignment from one side to the other. The work we have done together has increased the flexibility in my legs, in my back and torso, and fairly rapidly began changing my ability to move and do even simple things. A great example is putting on pants or shorts, I used to have to have one hand steadying myself when doing this because I was afraid I would miss my leg or it would get caught on the way in and of course I might fall or trip. Without thinking much about I realized that after 2-3 weeks of regular, methodical stretching I was no longer steadying myself. I didn't need to! I could just put one leg in my shorts and without thinking much of it the next one as well. The day I realized I was doing it I was so surprised and delighted. I was so proud to tell her when I arrived for my session "Okay... I am now a total fan of this. I can't believe how much better I am already feeling". As to my back pain, it is considerably less and most days I don't feel it at all. After seeing the doctor I was taking prescription NSAIDs, but was able to drop down to over the counter (Alleve) twice a day. I am now down to only once a day at bedtime and I feel better than I did even when taking prescription meds. I am just about to stop taking it even once a day - I just don't feel I need it any more. I do feel like the numbness is improving - though to be hones it took years for it progress to this point, so I am reasonable in my expectations. Things are definitely improving and my motivation increasing. If you are considering trying StretchLab I can certainly suggest that you do. As I said, I have been going now for 3 months, I look forward to my session every week, and over time Aqilah has worked a number of areas in my body and limbs and I can really feel the difference. I find that she listens to how I am doing, notes the progress, is careful to select different areas for focus each week, and to never overdo it. I can feel the progress and sometimes a little soreness the next day, but overall it's made a huge difference. I like that fact that we work together to work a little harder in the areas that especially need it. I am so glad StetchLab has been created. Believe me you can't get these results from your own stretch work. You are applying the force and I am sure it has positive effect, but at StretchLab your trainer is applying, and reacting to force you push back with, in a way you can replicate as effectively as they can and across more muscle groups than you even know you have. I love it! read more

Krystal is the absolute best there is! I always leave her feeling brand new! Will follow her to any StretchLab she goes! Definitely a keeper! read more

I went in for an appointment and was told I had to purchase grip socks. I said I had socks on and was told to GET OUT and they did not want to deal with me. I then asked for a refund of which was told it was emailed. As of now I have not received my refund for the service they cancelled. I had to call my credit card company and file a dispute. Horrible attitude and service. DO NOT GO TO THIS BUSINESS. Now filing a complaint with the Better Business in San Diego read more

Aqilah's classes are great! Her instructions are clear, the class is well-paced and she's very observant and helpful. She makes it easy and fun! read more

I've been going to Stretch Lab Solana Beach and Del Mar since 2020. I stretch with Aqilah and Tony every week. They are very attentive to whatever your issues are on a given day. They love what they do and you always feel better after a stretch session. Wish I'd started years ago. read more

I have been going to Stretch Lab for 2 months now, and I can't say enough good things about my experience! The owner, Angie, is simply terrific and really goes the extra mile in customer service and overall congeniality! I particularly have enjoyed my sessions with Aquilah!! She is amazing and devoted to helping us all succeed with our goals. Her classes are thorough, fun, and her "playlist" is over the top!! I so look forward to these classes and have had tremendous pain relief as a result, best decision I have made in order to stay active.......YAY!! Oh, one more thing......studio is immaculate, modern and spacious and I feel 100% comfortable, staff is awesome, too! read more

I highly recommend the StretchLab in Del Mar Highlands. I have been working with the flexologist, Aqilah and she is a wonderful. She is gentle and knowledgeable. After each session, I feel stretched and relaxed without soreness the next day. In one month, my swim stroke is stronger and my general movement has dramatically improved. read more

Cancel acupuncture, massage and the chiropractor. Stretch Lab is all I need to get rid of the constant hip, back, and neck tightness that plagues me--especially when I am spinning and running a lot. Just one session made a huge difference in my daily quality of life, as well as my daughter's, who gets a tight neck and back from too much running and phone time. I started heavy workouts the same week as starting Stretch Lab and all my soreness and tightness from these workouts was obliterated after a Stretch Lab session. I highly recommend any of the practitioners--they are all personable and very knowledgable. I'm going to be seeing Aqilah weekly. She is very methodical and insightful and loosened up muscles I would never be able to myself. She's really cool too! My daughter has started seeing JR weekly. She no longer begs her dad to crack her back every hour when he is home. They truly have enhanced our day to day life in just a few visits already! read more

I really like StretchLab in Del Mar. I started going to StretchLab in May 2021. My favorite flexologists are Miranda (also at Solana Beach location) and Bernie. They have different approaches and between the two of them, my shoulder issues have resolved. I can drive a stick without my shoulder hurting now! Currently, I am having problems with my right knee, probably because of a very tight IT band. Both Miranda and Bernie tailor my stretch sessions to focus on key problems. And, they both have given me stretches I can do at home to target issues and to improve overall wellness. If you're considering StretchLab, I recommend trying out 2-3 flexologists to find a good fit and to also give yourself more options, just in case your favorite is unavailable! Also, communication is key. The better you can communicate to your flexologist any particular issues that you might have, the better they can target your stretch sessions to help you! read more
