NEW YORK — Resolving to get in shape in the new year is an exhausting cliché, as is the fact that no one sticks to the resolve. There are people who are so motivated to exercise that they keep up their jogging or weightlifting routines year-round. And then there is everyone else, a group I fall into.

One could easily conclude that a personal stretch session is the latest status symbol for the wellness set. Outer Reach, which offers one-on-one and group stretch sessions, opened in Tribeca in September. It was founded by Aimee Cho, a founder of the website The New Jock, and Alex Drexler, a founder of the fashion line Alex Mill. The idea is that stretching is not something to quickly run through before or after a workout but rather can be the main event, improving posture and circulation and mobility no matter your fitness level.

Story continuesAll of the instructors have varied backgrounds , and all have been trained by Toni Melaas, a dancer who designed the Outer Reach method of stretching and teaching. By the time I was on my back on the table, she stood above me to ease me into deep side twists or to remind me to relax my shoulders. After our 60-minute session, I felt easy in my body, calm and taller.

Washington came around adjusting our postures and assisting our twisted bodies into deep release. If you hate being touched, stretch classes may not be your thing. I, however, loved it and came out feeling as if I had worked out and been massaged.
