Lakeview’s StretchLab, the L.A.- based wellness franchise’s first Midwest location, offers a new way to focus on the portion of your exercise routine that so often gets forgotten— stretching. The studio’s flexologists stretch you out in one-on-one sessions, offered in both a 25-minute format that focuses on targeted areas and a more extensive, 50-minute full-body stretch. Small group stretch classes are also available; either way, expect to leave feeling long, lean and notably more limber. Monthly packages $149-$500, 3601 N. Southport Ave., 312.982.4448

With varied playlists, each beat-based class appeals to different musical tastes, while the high-intensity interval training guarantees an effective—and fun—cardio workout every time.
