Love this studio! It's small, bright, and clean and the instructors are friendly and positive. I leave there feeling so refreshed. Thankful that we can take off masks if we feel comfortable. So nice to breathe and see happy faces! read more

Great studio! The teachers are excellent, the environment is warm and friendly, and the studio is clean and inviting. I've been coming to Dailey Method in Lamorinda for several years now. I'm challenged mentally and physically with every class. The workout works and I'm really motivated to go! As a side benefit, I've made many new friends at the studio. Seeing them is an additional motivation. In terms of Covid, the studio has been excellent about following all protocols. At this time, people don't have to mask but some still do. I've felt comfortable regardless of whether I"m masked or not. It's really a special place. read more

By month five I lost a total 20 lbs. Vacationing and a case of the blahs meant I back slid a bit. I regained my mojo once I tried on a couple old belts and realized that I moved down three notches on each. It's now month seven and I'm losing weight again with 3-4 workouts a week. I've hit a few classes by instructors I'm not as familiar with to keep me honest - Diana, Heather, and Angie know how to kick butt. I aim to knock off at least another 10 lbs. by the end of the year, even through the holidays. P.S. Ask for the vacation exercise plan - it's a one-page list of 13 moves you can do on-the-go, without a ballet barre =) read more

TDM Lafayette is such a nice facility. Locker rooms/bathrooms are super clean, new, and stylish. Nice ladies running this place plus they have a kids play area. Christine is an awesome instructor. She was trained under Jill Dailey herself! Extremely sociable staff and great place to tone up! read more

This place has changed my body after just one month-- I can't wait to see what a few more months will do! Without having ever done a single class of ballet, yoga or pilates I was very intimidated by the idea of trying TDM; however, with the help of the amazing instructors I'm getting the hang of it. The studio is beautiful and clean. Membership is pricey, but if you commit to giving it your all, it's worth it. read more

I have been a member of the Dailey Method Lamorinda community for over 15 years now. I work out at the studio nearly every day. I have never had a workout routine that I love so much! I've compared the TDM classes to those I've taken at both Bar Method and Pure Barre, and what I love about TDM is that you get a 100% full body workout in every class. TDM classes always focus equally on arms, core, legs, back and backside, and I felt classes from other barre companies focused more heavily just on certain body parts. But the workout routine is not just what TDM is all about. There is truly a community of loving, supportive, friendly and fun members who make TDM so special. The classes are completely non-judgmental and welcoming, and the instructors always offer several options for every level of fitness/flexibility. The instructors are amazing - well-trained, experienced, and thoughtful - and they work hard to make sure each class brings the students a fresh new experience. Try Dailey, you'll love it! read more

I just lovee the dailey method lamorinda! Great instructors, very effective workouts with modifications (if needed) and they even offer child care how awesome is that! I've been doing barre for 4 yrs off and on been to a lot of studios SF and Walnut creek/ lafayette area and this is by far the best studio hands down. So glad to be back here I missed it! read more

I'm a total exercise junkie, from Physique 57 in LA to tons of Barry's Bootcamp classes, and nothing I've taken was quite as amazing at Gayle's Fusion class last week. Holy cow, it was spectacular. I don't even really like barre classes, but this had me pouring sweat and shaking, and I'm still sore several days later. If TDM offered more fusion classes, and they were all taught the way Gayle taught hers, I would leave ClassPass behind in an heartbeat and just do fusion classes. Im going to try a few more more with other instructors to see if they're well taught across the board, but TDM might have a new devotee. read more

I LOVE The Dailey Method, Lafayette! All of the instructors are highly skilled, friendly, and encouraging. I have been taking classes there for about 6 months and have been hooked since day one. I had a gym membership that hadn't been used in months. While I care about my health and want to be fit, I can only stand the treadmill and elliptical for so long...usually about a month of working out until I'm totally bored. Then, my friend asked me to come to a class with her. I have been attending regularly, generally 3-4 times per week, ever since. The reason I love this workout so much is simple...I get results without getting bored. I literally saw changes in my body within 2 weeks. I am 31 years old and have never been so strong and lean (not even when I was a dedicated dancer). The workout is still extremely challenging but I actually look forward to going to class. The Dailey Method workout is great because all of the movements and positions can be modified for any level of fitness. I am always able to push myself beyond what I think I am capable of, or take it a bit easier when I need to. The environment is always encouraging and never competitive. This may say crazy but TDM has truly become a way of life for me. I highly recommend trying it. The first class you may feel a little awkward because the positions are unfamiliar and you will be sore for a day or two after. DON'T GIVE UP! Take a few more classes and you will get the hang of it. If you stick with it you will truly be amazed by the results. read more

I do the dailey method several times a week, and although I still don't do everything perfect my strength and flexibility have improved so much! In one hour I get a complete workout and sometimes it is even a little cardio. I recommend this to everyone, especially women as it targets thighs, butt, abs, and arms! Love it! read more

In Lamorinda on business and found this great, tucked away, studio. The welcome was warm and the class was challenging--always a good combination. Well taught with appropriate hands on assists. read more

Kindest women that work and teach there. Such a great work out. Clean studio! Everyone is so supportive there, no matter where you are physically. I always leave feeling uplifted and happy. read more

I wanted to update my review since the Dailey Method in Lafayette is a new studio under new ownership. Kerry & Christine are fantastic and I'm so glad they brought TDM back to Lafayette! They are both great instructors, as are all the women who teach at this studio. The instructors make a big effort to get to know the students and can modify the workout in light of any injuries or physical issues and encourage greater challenge for experienced clients TDM is a great workout! The classes are super hard, but are always fun and kind of addicting. Before trying TDM I had severe hip pain. It was so bad at times I'd army crawl to my bed. Turns out I have damage to my sacrum from a twin pregnancy followed by a 10 lb singleton. I was going to a chiropractor for adjustments weekly with little benefit. I also had knee pain. After a a few months of TDM, the pain in my knees and my hip is gone. If I go to TDM 3 to 4 times a week I just feel better. While TDM is not cheap, it is certainly less expensive than chiropractic care and physical therapy. And it's a lot more fun. TDM Lafayette is a very welcoming environment and is a great place to meet your fitness goals. I almost forgot -- they have child care! My son always has fun in the Kids Room while I am exercising and is sometimes reluctant to leave. read more

I'm a huge fan of barre classes. I've tried one other local studio and definitely love Christine and the Dailey Method! The workout is hard but the concentration on good form and posture gives me confidence that I'm working hard but also safely. I feel tired but awesome after each workout. I can't wait to get back in there! read more

This place has changed my life!! I don't mean to be melodramatic, but it really has had an incredible impact on my life. I read the negative review last year and was very skeptical about trying out The Dailey Method. I have been going for 3 months now and I absolutely LOVE IT!! I have found that Diana and all of her instructors are extremely friendly, knowledgeable, eager to assist with positioning and overall, they are top notch instructors. I have nothing by praise, respect and appreciation for Diana and her staff. I first tried out the Bar Method in Walnut Creek and it was okay. Interestingly, I found the owner and some of the instructors at the Bar Method to be somewhat rude at times, but I have never, never, never had that experience at the Dailey Method. Additionally, the workouts at the Dailey Method were not as challenging or nearly as effective as those at the Bar Method. Once I tried The Dailey Method, I will never go anywhere else. In fact, I drive all the way from Benicia to go to classes at the Dailey Method 3-5 5times a week. The results are incredible. I've worked out my whole life, but have never found such an enjoyable and effective exercise regiment. I have lost 20 lbs in a few short months and I have The Dailey Method to thank.. I love this place so much, that I felt compelled to share my great fortune and hope that others who read this will be motivated to give it a try. It really is the best thing that has happened to me in a long time!! On a side note, the day care is great and the facility is beautiful, very clean and well lit. read more

Super friendly instructors with a comprehensive attack plan to challenge every muscle in the body. Freshly climate-contolled space.

Professional and friendly staff, they even remember your name and ask if you're okay being touched during the class for postural feedback. Facility is beautiful, they have child-care and parking. The exercise itself is tough and effective. Even got a follow-up email! Kerry is an excellent instructor! read more

I love the workout there. The instructors are supportive, friendly, and knowledgable. The place is spacious, modern, clean, has lockers and a shower facility , plus they will watch your kids while I workout. The workout routines are well planned out and predictable. I never thought one inch incremental movements can be so painful and yet rewarding at the end. read more

I appreciated the intentionality behind the workouts and customer care. I felt stronger as the weeks progressed because the instructors are extremely helpful. In addition, the amenities were clean and plentiful! read more

This is my first week at the Dailey Method, after a 9 month Hiatus from any and all exercise. No, I wasn't pregnant, just lazy and preoccupied. First, I must say How incredibly genuine and nice all the instructors ( most defiantly including Diana the owner) are. Always a welcoming smile. Unwavering customer service. Completely unpretentious. Secondly I HATE to exercise! This is REALLY challenging for every inch of my being, I am no where close to the grace in movement the others in the class have, but every time I go I truly feel stronger. If I could go every day I would. I love it. I Owe these Ladies BIG, if they can help me get my "bikini body" back! I'm SO glad to have The Dailey Method as a part of my Daily Routine. Thank you! read more

Disregard Lauren H. from Pleasant Hill. The Dailey Method in Lafayette is a wonderful place. All of the instructors are kind, professional and there to make your experience as delightful as possible. Diana, the owner, could not do a better job in making sure that all of her clients have the best, most productive experience at her studio. Futhermore, she treats everyone with tremendous respect, regardless of their ability. I am hooked!! read more

I absolutely love this workout. Its a combination of Pilates, Yoga and some very light weights. I have been coming to The Daily Method in Lafayette for almost two years now. I find this work out to be the only one I have stuck with. All of the instructors are all amazing Diana, Heather, Gayle, Amanda, Luci, Angie, and I miss a few that have left Wendy and Tanya... The classes are always varied and we never get bored with the same routine... which is the reason I still keep coming. I am challenged in every class and know I will get an amazing workout. I am starting to get my body back.. It is fun to watch my body transform. I am stronger, firmer, leaner and get toned in areas that going to a gym .... just won't do. I no longer have the dreaded muffing top on top of my jeans. My arms and shoulders are firming up. My legs are slimming down and my butt is firm. If your looking for an amazing workout that will never bore you, the best of the best teachers, a comfortable inviting studio all geared to help you achieve your goals... then this might be the class for you. It's a serious workout and who knows you might meet some amazing new friends too. read more

Diana, she is the owner, is a judgmental, rude, non-supportive, nasty instructor and person. I would not recommend anyone to attend her classes. She is unprofessional and extremely rude. Is really too bad because all the other instructors I had were great and supportive but because of my interactions with her I will NEVER go back and will NEVER recommend any of my clients to participate in her business. read more

My goodness - I don't know what happened to the previous reviewer but I have found this to be an extremely supportive non-judgemental environment. I lost 2" off my waist in 6 weeks and love going there. It isn't easy but it works. All the instructors have been helpful and friendly. read more

Update: I've been going to The Dailey Method in Lafayette for several months now. One thing I forgot to mention in my original review is how it has helped my chronic hip pain (from a ski injury from my early 20s) . This pain was at times so bad I couldn't sleep on my right side, I couldn't wear heels, and it would throb at night seemingly for no reason. I suffered with it for almost 10 years! I once noticed relief when I became obsessed with Pilates, but that was years ago and I haven't found anything that offered the same relief, until I started this class. Now I sometimes forget about my hip - this was impossible for so long it's truly amazing. I sleep with no pain, I can sleep in any position, and it never throbs. I really have to focus to even remember where the pain was. I still have some sensitivity, but I suspect after several more months even that will be gone. This method of exercise will strengthen you and make you so flexible I think it's truly an excellent form of physical therapy on top of being great exercise. read more

This is now NextBarre, great Barre classes. Free daycare forever! More new & exciting things to come! "Give it a go!"

I honestly have to fully disagree with the previous review. Diana as well as every other instructer is amazing, caring and motivational. This is the first workout class that I have been IN LOVE with. My first day I was so nervous, Diana, the owner showed me the studio and gave me a brief explanation of the class. I am now addicted! This is such an amazing full body workout. Every class is different and as I am about to collapse on the floor Diana comes by with a "this feels so good" that I have to smile and keep pushing myself. This is a butt kicking workout! read more

I love everything about this studio. The atmosphere (very laid back), the studio (clean and comfortable), the clientele (casual and friendly), and especially the staff and instructors. I have tried every barre studio in this area and this is my favorite. I always feel better after I take class - my body feels strong and my mind feels clear and more positive than when I walked in. I can not recommend DM Lafayette highly enough. The hour I spend there is often the best one of my entire day. If you're new to barre classes, I recommend taking class from Christine, Lindy, or Kerry, but all of the instructors are amazing! You can't go wrong, especially with the $89 first month unlimited!! You will see changes in your body in those first 30 days, guaranteed!! read more

Best barre classes out there and the instructors are all well trained, fun, kind and will always give you a great workout.

I have been an avid runner but noticed my lack of strength especially in my core and upper body. A friend of mine recommended the Dailey Method and now I am hooked. The workout is a combination of ballet, pilates and yoga. My body is transforming before my eyes. I am getting longer and leaner and so strong. My friends wonder exactly what I have been doing and when I tell them they are amazed. If you want a workout that really kicks your butt check out The Dailey Method. The Lafayette studio is great. Great instructors! The owner is fabulous and so knowledgeable and takes the time to make sure you are doing the moves properly. read more

Dailey Method is AWESOME, Diana & staff are great! Sounds like Lauren H. is jealous of her "kick-butt" business. I don't think any personal trainer's would recommend their "clients" to the Dailey Method, because then they would be out of work! read more

Wow! If you are looking for results then the Dailey Method is the workout for you! You will work muscles you never knew you had and you will feel exhilarated after your workout. The hour long classes are a nice pace so before you know it's over. I have taken classes from three different instructors and found each one to be helpful in making each exercise the most beneficial for maximum results. I had been going to a different exercise studio in Walnut Creek for 2 years and have found The Dailey Method studio in Lafayette to be bright and clean and the staff and teachers helpful and certainly the farthest thing from judgmental. The child care is great, too! read more

I LOVE The Dailey Method! I have been attending class 5 days a week for the past 4 months. I am an extremely active person and I was looking for something to add to my regular workout routine and I am so thankful that I found The Dailey Method. When I first heard about barre inspired workouts, I checked out The Bar Method and did their $100 unlimited 1 month package and I really enjoyed it and near the end of my month at The Bar Method, I did a drop in class at The Dailey Method because I was curious how the 2 methods differed. I was hooked immediately because it gave me 2 things that I felt The Bar Method was lacking on - weight work and ab work. Both methods will challenge you and make your body shake like crazy, but I feel that The Dailey Method is a more full body workout. It targets all the areas that I have been wanting to work on more and it forces me to stretch more which I really need. And even though each class has the same structure (arm work, thigh work, seat work, ab work) they have different variations so no class is ever the same. The instructors are great! They are all very helpful and friendly. I am happy that they come around and correct form and check with you to make sure everything is working for you and they are very helpful if you have any questions. My first class was with Diana who is the owner of the Lafayette studio and she is awesome! Never thought I'd be excited to wake up to go workout at 6am, but I am, especially when the instructors are so great. The 6am classes during the weekdays are taught by Luci and Kerry and both of these ladies are wonderful as well. The facilities are nice - lockers available, towels, shower. And there is off street parking as well. This is a challenging workout, but worth it if you want to feel stronger all over. It has been a great addition to my regular workout routine. Can't say enough good things about this place. read more

What about the new card I purchased for $180 and used one time!! or ten visits. Gail

I completely disagree with the negative review of Diana and the studio. I have been taking class at The Dailey Method since Diana opened her studio in December and can't ever imagine not having TDM in my life. The classes are incredibly difficult, but you leave the studio feeling really good about yourself. The studio is beautiful and welcoming, and the instructors (and front desk staff) all make sure that every client feels comfortable being there. They give special attention to newer members without making them feel awkward, and every exercise has options to make them harder for more experienced members. Although I love every instructor at the studio, I always make a point to go to Diana's classes- they are AMAZING and will completely change your body before you know it. She has never been 'rude' or 'unprofessional,' and whenever I bring a friend with me to try it out for the first time, I make sure they take Diana's class first. I absolutely love Diana and The Dailey Method and think everybody who tries the class will fall in love with it too! read more
