They did a great job in decorating - it feels good to go to this studio instead of a noisy, stinky gym. So far everyone I have met has been very nice and welcoming. Rebekah and her staff are super accommodating - I have a herniated disc in my lower back and Ellie has been great in scaling workouts for me. They also work really hard to fit you into their schedule (I needed private sessions to begin with), contacting me by phone, text, and email. Super convenient. Though I was (and still am) brand new to pilates, I have never felt awkward or pressured for being a newbie. I highly recommend this place. Give them a call and talk to someone - you won't regret it.

I could go and mess around for an hour in most gyms and when I would leave, I never felt like I got anything from it. It wouldn't take me long to lose interest and stop going. OTF isn't like that. After every class that I attend, I feel like I just ran a marathon. I've never actually sweated at the gym before now. It's nice having someone watch over me telling me what to do and showing me how to do it. I started attending early January and have already attended 26 classes. That's NEVER happened before.

I started yoga classes with Diana 10 years ago, as a beginner to yoga. Her personalized and varied…read moreinstruction has helped me to gain core strength, flexibility, and improved balance while complementing my other health goals. Her personal attention and extensive use of props help me to be settled and thoughtful in my poses, and to safely access parts of my body that I didn't know existed! Every class is different and purposefully constructed. She provides instruction, demonstration, individual modifications and props as needed so that each student can experience and benefit from their own safe and accessible version of a pose. Her classes are engaging and challenging for my 50-something body, as well as my husband and our 23 year old daughter. I highly recommend Diana for both beginning and experienced yogis.

The first thing that really set A Good Stretch apart was the focus on the individual and doing poses safely. I've had many friends hurt themselves trying to do a yoga video at home. Diana asks that you fill out a questionnaire regarding your goals and any injuries or health problems. She then uses that to tailor a program for you. You are allowed to go at your own pace and comfort level with individualized instruction. Every class I am amazed what my body can do and how great I feel. And, it's been really great for my posture! Having this one on one attention is what sets these classes apart. I feel like I am working to better myself and not competing or trying to keep up with everyone else.

The studio is beautiful, very clean and professional with many levels of yoga offered. (All experience levels are welcome). They offer a variety of classes including Hot 26/2, Hot 26/2 with music, slow-mindful flows to full blown kick your butt Pilates workouts. If you are coming for the Hot yoga be prepared. Come well-hydrated and with a large bottle of water to drink during the class. Bring your yoga mat, a towel to cover your mat, and comfortable exercise clothes. I usually wear leggings and a tank top. Many men just wear shorts and lots of women wear a sports bra and shorts. The hot yoga classes end with a cool lavender infused towel at the end of every class! After class, the locker rooms have showers (which is needed after hot yoga) and the lobby is full of stunning plants (which are for sale). In closing, I feel so blessed to have this studio nearby. I have now been going since the day they opened in Jan 2023 and I am beyond hooked. I get a true natural high after each class. Great vibes all around !

All my questions were kindly answered and the coaches walked me through anything I was unfamiliar with until I was comfortable with the movements.
