Stretch Studio Near Me in Venice: StretchLab on Rose Avenue, Los Angeles
StretchLab Venice, at 512 Rose Ave inside the Venice on Rose building, is open seven days, until 8pm on weekdays and 9am to 4pm on weekends, and its LA membership is four 25-minute stretches a month for $209. The bench mixes dancers, a martial-arts trainer and a 15-year massage therapist. Here is who to book and how to pair a session with Rose Avenue.
StretchLab Venice is at 512 Rose Ave, Venice, inside the Venice on Rose building a few blocks inland from the boardwalk, and it is open every day: 10am to 8pm on Monday, 9am to 8pm Tuesday through Friday, and 9am to 4pm on weekends. The monthly plan is four 25-minute one-on-one stretches for $209, cheaper than the brand's San Francisco and New York studios. If you are searching stretch studio near me anywhere between Santa Monica and Marina del Rey, this is the room most locals mean.

Stretching in the Brand's Home Town
StretchLab was founded in Venice in 2015 and has since grown into a national franchise of one-on-one assisted stretching studios, so the Rose Avenue room carries some home-town weight. It is also one of the busiest: Google listed it at 4.9 stars from 329 reviews in October 2026, far more than most StretchLab locations, and the owner was posting there on October 9.
The team page reflects the neighborhood, with surfers, dancers, climbers and lifters on staff. The space itself is a bright storefront with padded benches in a row, foam rollers and straps on the wall, and a front desk where you trade your shoes for grip socks.
Book Joey, but Know the Rest of the Bench
One Flexologist dominates the reviews. Joey is a certified personal trainer focused on corrective exercise and myofascial pain, finished his 200-hour yoga teacher training in 2023, taught spin and Pilates, and keeps studying martial arts, including weapons and boxing. He is also a former triathlete, powerlifter and BMX competitor who has worked through his own injuries.
A reviewer who describes themself as a former contemporary dancer wrote a long post saying Joey never forces a stretch, reads the body through breath, and knows exactly when to deepen or ease off; the review compares a session with him to a conversation without words. Lakenya Thomas says Joey resolves whatever pain they walk in with before they leave.
The rest of the team is deep. Tamara, a NASM-certified trainer and nutritionist with a calisthenics and gymnastics background, gets several mentions; Ceren Barut went in skeptical and felt a noticeable drop in chronic stiffness after one session with her. Ryan is a Southern California native and certified massage therapist with more than 15 years in practice who surfs and mountain bikes on his days off.
Two Flexologists come from dance. Tulani is a professional dancer, yoga teacher and sound therapist who works with tuning forks, and Paul Buxton credits her gentle leg work with easing chronic numbness in one foot. Cecilia, a dancer and yoga instructor from Argentina, gets credit from Norris Fox for helping back problems more than any other therapy tried.
Athletes have options too. Daniel holds an exercise science degree and played college baseball at Hiram and at Cal State LA, and Malik brings personal training and kinesiology; Cecilia Cardwell says Malik picked exactly the right stretches for lower back pain. Marie, a Los Angeles native who studied kinesiology and sports medicine at Santa Monica College, did private assisted stretching before joining, and Lenny Rosenberg says the results showed up immediately.
What a Session Costs and How It Runs
Every first visit begins with a Personal Movement Assessment, a 3D body scan that grades mobility, stability, posture and symmetry, followed by a one-on-one stretch and a personalized program. After that you choose 25 or 50 minutes. The Venice page prices the core membership at four 25-minute stretches per month for $209, on a three-month initial term before it renews monthly, and promotes up to 50 percent off the intro stretch.
Roseann Boffa goes twice a month and calls the facility very clean. Susan Atkins liked that Marielle, a personal trainer who has worked at StretchLab since 2021 and is now studying kinesiology on the way to a physical therapy doctorate, talked through every stretch, which is the thing first-timers most often praise here. Sara Del Castillo came in with neck tension and credits Lauren with sending them out with real relief.
An honest note: the multiple-session point in that dancer's review matters. It says outright that results take several visits, so skip the membership if you only want a one-off loosen-up after a long flight. A single intro stretch will tell you whether the style suits you before you commit to three months.
Timing a Visit
Weekday evenings until 8pm are the easy slots for anyone working on the Westside, and Monday's 10am opening is the one late start of the week. Weekends close at 4pm, so morning bookings after a beach run go first.
Plan B is StretchLab's Beverly studio on Beverly Boulevard, which opens at 8am on most weekdays, though it closes at 2pm on Fridays and weekends. It is a 30- to 45-minute drive across town depending on traffic.
Rose Avenue Before or After
Rose Avenue is the quieter end of Venice, where the boardwalk begins at the Santa Monica border. Walk west and you reach the beach and the bike path in about ten minutes; turn south on Main Street and the Venice sign and Abbot Kinney Boulevard are a short ride away. Big Blue Bus routes run along Main Street, and bike racks line the sidewalk outside the building. Gold's Gym Venice, the bodybuilding landmark nicknamed the Mecca, sits on Hampton Drive a couple of blocks away, so a lift, a stretch and a swim can all fit inside one walkable morning.
A stretch before a beach walk is the local move, since the 25-minute format leaves you loose enough to enjoy the sand rather than hobble across it. Ask Karpo in the Karpo APP for a breakfast spot on Rose Avenue or a sunset table near the boardwalk, and you have a full Venice morning planned around one session.
