The core program
Alignment & Strength Training
Our headline program is built on five pillars. Every session works toward a body that holds itself well and moves well, at the desk, in sport and in daily life.
Lean, balanced strength
Build lean muscle, not bulk, with strength that is balanced across the body, so tight muscles don’t have to overwork.
Stability & dynamic posture
Posture isn’t a pose you hold. We train control that holds up while you move, lift and react.
Dynamic movement
Carry new range and strength into real-world movement patterns: walking, bending, reaching, rotating.
Assessment
Not just training: measured progress
Every client gets assessed. Using Kinotek’s LiDAR-based movement assessment, we measure scores and ranges of motion across movements, then train you with our proprietary system and reassess so you can see your numbers improve.
Assess
Move in front of a LiDAR camera, with no sensors to wear, and get a scored 3D movement report.
Train
StretchFormation’s proprietary alignment and strength system targets what your numbers show.
Reassess
Repeat the assessment and compare: Momentum members are reassessed monthly, Performance members weekly.
Track
Follow your mobility scores and ranges of motion over time.
Our philosophy
Train for longevity, not just muscle mass
Many people pursuing healthy aging focus on biomarkers, nutrition and supplements, but the structural foundation of the body often gets missed. Exercise on top of poor alignment can feed imbalances: short-term gains, long-term setbacks. We start with structure, then build strength on top of it.
- AssessSee how you stand, breathe and move.
- MobilizeUse supporting therapies to open restricted areas.
- AlignFind and own better positions.
- StrengthenLoad those positions with balanced strength.
- MoveCarry it into dynamic, everyday movement.
Supporting therapies
Mobility & recovery tools that serve your training
These hands-on and instrument-assisted techniques help you get into better positions and move more freely, so you can build strength, alignment and posture in that range. They complement our mobility training and strength work rather than replace it.
Assisted Stretching
Table-based stretching that targets each muscle group in isolation to open up range of motion you can then train.

What clients have said
“…going to the gym is useless if you don't have complete free range of motion, and if you dont have it visit this place.”

Quick answers
What is StretchFormation?
StretchFormation is a Los Angeles wellness gym in North Hollywood offering personalized longevity training, located inside the JAM Sports and Spine physical therapy facility at 12813 Victory Blvd., North Hollywood, CA 91606. Our core program trains clients into better alignment, strength, stability, dynamic posture and movement, supported by assisted stretching, myofascial release, gua sha, cupping and Graston technique.
Will strength training make me bulky?
That is not the goal here. We help you build lean muscle, not bulk: our training emphasizes balanced strength, joint stability and alignment rather than maximal muscle size or overloading muscles. Most sessions focus on control, positioning and quality movement patterns that support long-term physical health.
Why combine stretching and soft-tissue work with training?
Tight or restricted areas can make it hard to get into good positions. Supporting therapies like assisted stretching, myofascial release, gua sha, cupping and Graston technique help you access better range of motion, and the training then builds strength and control in that new range so it lasts.
How long is a session and what does it cost?
Sessions are 55 minutes. One-on-one single sessions have been listed at $125, with 10- and 20-session packages and semi-private monthly memberships (small groups of 1 to 4 people) available. See our pricing page for current options.
