LOVE,LOVE,LOVE the Los Gatos Dailey Method. It has changed my life. Not only have lost 30 lbs. without changing my diet much but a lot of my health issues have been resolved. I went from a jean size of 31 to a 26-27. My sugar levels have dropped along with my blood pressure. The classes are fun and I get a great workout. I actually enjoy coming. Last year I could have never imagined ever saying that about working out. Give it a try for at least a few weeks 3-4 times a week and you will notice how it will change you too. read more

I like Los Gatos Dailey Method. The instructors are great and the facility/environment is very nice. It offers a good variety of classes for different levels. Great workout place! read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place All their instructors are great and the routine is never the same so you never get bored. Highly recommend checking them out read more

I have recently gotten into bar exercises. I've came here a few times to Lori's class. She's funny and entertaining. She tells jokes and sometimes sing along to the songs. But she's not easy on you, she will come and pick on you and make you work harder! :) I think it's a nice change to my regular routine - running, kickboxing... and I can definitely feel my muscles getting more toned :) read more

Have been coming here consistently for 3 months. Would highly recommend this studio for anyone looking to commit to toning up their bodies. It feels good and I never regret making a class. The instructors are really good and knowledgeable, and I always feel the time and money I spend in the class is well worth it. read more

I LOVE the Dailey Method Los Gatos!!! A month and a half before my Hawaii wedding I joined DM LG in hopes of getting perfectly toned and in shape for the big day. I can 100% say with the combination of running and DM 4 days a week I got in the best shape of my life. Could not be happier that come May 2nd I felt amazing in my wedding dress marrying the love of my life :) I ran the Santa Cruz half marathon a couple weeks before the wedding and ran a 1:39 PR and I hands down give that credit to the muscles made in DM when the trainers were kicking my butt with Interval class. I felt SO much stronger running because of these workouts. The amazing thing about DM is they work muscles you would never even know you had. I just signed up for another 6 months unlimited. Love the trainers here, love the hour to myself here everyday, love the fun workout music, love the girly atmosphere, love the new cork floors and remodel but most of all LOVE how healthy and fit DM has made me. Seriously try it ... You will be hooked! read more

I think Dailey Method is a good workout - the reason I'm rating it 3 starts instead of 4 is because having tried Bar Method, Pure Barre and Dailey Method, this one came out my least favorite. The classes were mostly very crowded when I went, which in itself was okay. But, I found the teachers harder to follow for some reason. I think Dailey Method stressed using names of positions as opposed to describing the position, and because the instructor was often not in my direct line of sight because of the number of people in class, I often had a harder time getting into the right positions. The workouts weren't as effective for me at the Dailey Method studio. Instead of being consistently challenged throughout the workouts, I would wind up in a stretch where I just couldn't continue and had to take a break, or I felt it was too easy. It was also easier to "cheat" in Dailey Method because the instructors didn't correct my positions during barre exercises so when my heels dropped or my tuck untucked from fatigue, no one forced me back into position. In the other studios, particularly Bar Method, my positions were often adjusted as I started getting tired, making the workouts much more effective for me. My muscles would shake constantly (a good thing in this instance) and I saw faster, more noticeable results. Finally, because the location was a bit more random (Pure Barre has a great location by all the downtown shops that makes it better for running errands after working out - although more difficult to find parking for at times), I wound up choosing between Pure Barre and Bar Method. Dailey Method itself is a great workout for people looking to get in shape. It's only when I compare it to the other barre classes I've tried that I was less satisfied with it. If you're looking for a decent workout and the location's convenient for you, I'd say give it a shot. read more

Right now my review is a 1. I have a Groupon (sorry me, huh?). The Groupon isn't able to be used on the website, so the only option is to pay for a class. I've been leaving messages for over a week and no one answers the phone and no one returns calls. They may have good programs once you get in, based on other reviews, but their initial impressions from a customer service perspective are pretty poor. read more

I love this form of excercise and stretching. I have owned and operated two dance studios and usually find most classes boring and non productive. I can truly say I am hooked on this. Only negative is the location is 1 hour away from home for me :( I just make sure to schedule my Los Gatos errands around my dailey method classes! read more

I loooove the Dailey Method! I started taking classes here the year they first opened and now I'm 6 months post partum after having my third child! The DM has certainly helped my core from recovering from three csections. The instructors are really wonderful and Macey has always been so attentive to any needs or questions that I have had! I really love to run as well but DM helps balance me out since I'm so lazy about stretching on my own. I highly recommend taking their classes if you haven't tried it yet! read more

I have been a member of DM for 4 years now. This is the only workout method I promote as I have tried many, many methods and find that their knowledge of neutral spine alignment is what sets them apart. If you ate looking for a great low impact workout that also helps with alignment Dailey is the place to go! read more

Dailey Method LG is by far the best place for Dailey Method in the bay area. The Staff is SUPER energetic, knowledgable, and they switch up their program's so that if you can only attend the same class time every week, it's still new and different. My kudos too Becky! She is the best person to hang out with at 6am any morning :) read more

Positives: Most of the instructors are very friendly, high energy gals with good instructional knowledge The one month package is a good deal if you can get there 3X/week or more. They don't mind if you're late. In general, barre fitness regimens are extremely beneficial ways to tone all over and achieve a long, lean dancers physique. Easy access from the freeway Parking has never been a challenge Schedule of classes is ideal for working professionals. There is variety in the workouts - not the same old routine that you get visit after visit @ Bar Method They do child care. They run a lot of deals on the standard costs & I've noticed a lot of women do the work trade option to reduce cost. Negatives: The space is not nearly as nice as Bar Method studios. The techniques are not as fast acting as the Bar Method - e.g. practicing in profile to the bar can be more constructive but this technique is rarely used. Many of the barre leg fitness is not challenging enough on skill or repetitions. Sometimes it pays to spend more time in one place instead of quickly moving through several exercises. Personalized instruction and corrections are not as prevalent as Bar Method. Their set prices are expensive but see above... read more

I just love this place! the instructors are awesome and there are so many options for the times of classes...I have to give it 4 stars since it's a bit expensive...I definitely saw changes in my body, but couldn't afford to do more than a month....It would be great if they offered a 6 or 12 month membership for cheaper...Becky is an AMAZING instructor, just seeing her body alone is motivation for me!!! read more

I started the Dailey Method a week and a half ago - I was pretty timid to try it since I have been having horrible lower back pain and tightness and was scared about injuring myself further. I was referred to the practice by a friend who teaches there. Since I started going (just did my 7th class this morning), I have had remarkable improvement - it's seriously a miracle. I have not ONCE had to take ibuprofin for my back and I was up to 600mg per day before I started this program. I'm am so thankful to all the great instructors there. This has been literally life changing for me. The better body I get from it will be icing on the cake. All I really care about now is the fact that I can chase my two little boys around and not feel like I'm 80 years old. Yes, it's very difficult, but the movements grow with you and evolve as you get better and better. read more

WOW!! Are you looking for a body strengthing core workout? Here's the place to go! This place will get you into shape quick! The workouts incorporate pilates, yoga, ballet and stretching. If you go 3-4 times a week, you will notice a difference! Try it for 2 months (sometimes there are Groupon specials) and see what you think. It's a workout that you will not only LOVE but will feel better while becoming stronger! read more

Love TDM - it has helped with my posture, toning and overall fitness. Plus the classes are fun and never boring! Devin has made lots of positive changes and I am a big fan! read more

I took a break from the Los Gatos studio for awhile since the Willow Glen location (equally great!) is closer to my work/home. But I signed up again with their most recent groupon and it has been TOTALLY worth it! I love The Dailey Method workout - every muscle in your body is left feeling like jello when you leave and if you can go 2-3x a week you will see great results! I love Lori and Becky the most but all the instructors are great! Thank you TDM Los Gatos! read more

I have taken 4 classes with 4 different instructors and they were all great. The facility is also very nice.

This place is fantastic. I've been to about 7-ish classes over the past maybe ten days. And only one of them could be ranked less than "awesome". (No hard feelings on it, because everyone has their off days!! It was still a great class.) The facility is clean and comfortable. Plenty of room and natural light. The childcare is warm and friendly. The staff is SO welcoming and encouraging, as well as helpful and upbeat. I've never enjoyed working out, but I love coming here. The instructors really push you to try harder, without doing more than your body can handle. They correct your form without making you feel "wrong"- more like they're just making you do even better. Classes are upbeat, fun, and always different. Today I had a medical issue occur early during class (completely unrelated to the workout), and the instructor (Jen) noticed right away that something was wrong. She came over to see if I was ok and if I needed anything, and watched me for the next few minutes as I tried to relax and gauge the problem. While teaching class, she helped me get to my feet and out of class onto a bench, and made sure that I had everything I needed (did they need to call anyone, did I need water, what can someone bring me), and even came back out of class about ten minutes later to be sure that I was being taken care of. The sweetheart at the front desk stayed with me until my husband came, making sure there was nothing I needed. Within an hour of me leaving the studio, I had an email from the owner (Macey) to check up on me, and Jen also emailed me later in the day to be sure I was ok. Macey was even kind enough to extend my pass to make up for the time I'll miss while I recover. I've been taking classes here less than two weeks, and they've already made me feel like family. I would highly recommend this studio to anyone looking to start a fitness program- regardless of your experience level. read more

This review is written 7 months after I left forever. I had a medical injury from 12 years ago where I cannot do a plank and some forms of exercises. I have always done a modified version with no issues and always inform the instructors before class. However, the last class I went to, the instructor was too busy surrounded by clients showing pictures on her phone. It was very difficult to edge in and say hey I have an injury so I decided to just go with the class and do things modified, as I had done in the past. We hit a point in class where i had to modified when the instructor with a mic on came to show me how, I quietly informed her I have an injury, I'm ok. She then in the mic, asked to explain, in front of everyone. I said, "No, I'm fine but thank you" She then asked what happened. Look to announce in class on a mic for me to explain my medical history is beyond disrespectful especially if you make yourself not available to be approached. I never went back. Rude and egotistical instructor. read more

Where do I start!!!! I hate to exercise... well, a year and a half later I am still going and loving it here! I am so happy I started when I did! All the teachers are amazing and encouraging! You go at your own ability and the teachers always help you to get the best personal workout! Everyone is so encouraging! A year and a half later I am still sore after each class!!! (Good sore!) Thank you Dailey Method for making me a strong woman!!!! read more

I'm torn because I want to give this place 4 stars but I believe lately they've been slacking when it comes to the hamstring and butt exercises. I've been to pure barre los gatos, willow glenn dailey method, and the los gatos and saratoga dailey methods. First, I did pure barre for two months at their los gatos location (July and August 2011). The exercises were great, but everything else about that business was lacking. The instructors (with the exception of two--Becky/Emily) were spacey and disconnected. There was no bathroom. The room was in a basement. The carpet was really thick, causing problems with the bones in my feet during barre exercises and wrist during dips. Overall, the vibe from the place and people was gloomy. Nevertheless, their butt and thigh exercises were much more intense than Dailey Method. Dailey method seems much more focused on abs. I feel like that's all we do. Anyway... Next, I did Dailey Method at the Los Gatos/Saratoga locations (Nov 2011) and I loved it. The staff was soooooooooo much more friendly. The instructors were superb! They explained the exercises much better than the pure barre instructors and actually looked like they enjoyed being there. Overall, I felt like Dailey Methods was a better run business than pure barre. Furthermore, I really like the fact that they have a bathroom, shower, towels, water, etc. (Had I written my review at this point I would have given them 4.5/5 stars) Then, I tried the willow glenn location for the month of March 2012. (Will write a separate review for them) I like the los gatos/saratoga locations better so now I'm back here for the month of April. Again, I love the instructors. The staff is nice. I loooooovvve how they don't give you crap or turn you away when you're late--I can't tell you how much that irritates me at the other locations. (It's not overly crowded either.) However, I'm noticing that we are spending 5-7 min on thighs and butt exercises TOTAL in a 60 min class--and that's not even 5 min in a row. I'm starting to get a little tired of doing abs for 30 min. In pure barre, after only 30 days my hamstrings and butt popped out. Although my quadriceps have gotten a pretty good workout, I feel like they totally skimp on butt and hamstrings, especially hamstrings. One of the most effective butt/ham exercises is back dancing (also less stressful on all of the joints than most exercises). However, we spend literally 30 sec on it most of the time. Every once in a while we spend more time on back dancing, but it's rare---And I attend class enough that I do not miss anything (25 classes each time I do an unlimited month). Overall, I think this business is run better than pure barre operated in summer 2011. More importantly, I'm just happier when I leave Dailey Method than I did when I left a pure barre class, and I think I can attribute that to the instructors and staff. So thank you DM!---But let's take it up a notch on the butts and hams please :) read more

This studio used to be wonderful, but too many Groupons and Living Social deals have taken a negative toll. Classes are uncomfortably crowded, many new clients at every class. Time to find a new workout. read more

I have been taking Dailey Method classes 5x per week for about 3 months. At first, their overly crowded classes turned me off. I was at Pure Barre Los Gatos for 2 years and really liked their spacious studio which was rarely full. Unfortunately, Pure Barre's morning class times are quite limited so I had to seek another option with 6am classes and Dailey Method LG fit the bill. That said, I have grown used to this studio's packed 6am classes and have enjoyed the instructors, especially Lori and Becky who are fantastic! The owner Macey is also fabulous and really welcomes you into the DMLG community. As with all barre-type classes, you need to take at least 4 classes a week to see a difference and complement the classes with cardio (I run at least 3x per week). I love the variety of classes that DM offers and the interval classes are tough in a good way. Sometimes I wish DM did more barre work but overall I like their approach. Plus, the women in class are all super fit so it definitely works! read more

I absolutely love Dailey Method in Los Gatos. First of all, the environment and the people there are very welcoming. Second, their instructors are top notch. They are very hands on, teach kick-butt classes and have a way of making it fun. Third, the workout is great for results. It is the only class that I have found that really strengthens my core and makes my waist feel trimmer. My favorite class is interval if I really want to sweat. Their classes target muscles I didn't even know I had and it has been especially helpful bouncing back after baby. I have also noticed the more I go to class the less back and neck pain I experience. I am so happy Dailey Method is in Los Gatos! read more

i am completely obsessed with this work out. thanks to a facebook friend who posted a status offering someone to join her for "date night" at the dailey method, i thought 'why not? i'll give it a try'. i was hooked instantly. this workout is an ass kicker but in the best way. the instructors are amazing... talking you through the whole work out reminding you of what alignment your body needs to be in. roll the shoulder back, chin away from chest, tuck, belly button to spine, etc... these reminders are so important because the work out is hard and you tend to let go of these positions. they guide you through every second so you get the maximum work out. they pay attention to every person and really encourage you throughout the hour. they are committed to you getting the best possible work out every single time. in every class i have ever taken i have seen at least one of the other instructors also taking the class which i think is pretty cool. the place has a great vibe... as for me, i am a relatively active person and am in decent shape. i wasn't looking to loose weight, i wanted to loose the jiggle and it's happening. i couldn't be happier. :) HOORAY FOR THE DAILEY METHOD!!!!! read more

What a great studio. I have been to many Bay Area barre studios and The Dailey Method Los Gatos is one of a kind. The classes are challenging (in a great way) and the staff is incredibly welcoming and kind! read more

Not sure, why it's taken me so long to write a review but I LOVE DM. I've been a client for over a year now. Before joining DM, I was a gym rat for 8 years and always avoided the gym classes. After only taking a few classes at DM I saw changes. My body was leaner and overall stronger. Now, DM is a daily (sometimes twice a day) part of my life. The teachers are awesome and challenging each bringing their own style/personality to class. What's also nice is that they offer both barre and interval classes.. so you can get your sweat on! read more

I had to come here for an update. Compared to diet plans and gym memberships, this workout is a good deal if you go frequently. You can go to the Los Gatos or the Saratoga location. If you are like me, and have been exercising A LOT your whole life, I bet you'll be amazingly surprised by your progress as in PHYSICAL RESULTS. I call it the "6 for 6" program. No intentional diet changes are necessary. You have to try it 6 days a week for 6 months. I finish my 6th month on Halloween.(in two weeks) I went shopping today for an event dress and I couldn't believe the size! (as in minus 2 dress sizes) I haven't been able to fit into these sizes since I was 22 (I'm now older than that ;) Plus, I have NEVER EXERCISED LESS!! I used to get so frustrated working out 10+ hours per week. Now, I just go to TDM for one hour, six days a week. Not only do I feel totally worked from the class, but I don't have the same crazy appetite I did doing all that cardio before I discovered TDM. I do hike with my husband on the 7th day, however since that stimulates my appetite, I don't feel hiking has contributed to my progress. Go! If you are tired of of working out for 10+ hours or don't have the time for all that gym time, try it "6 for 6", 6 days a week for 6 months and you will get the best results ever! read more

Very challenging work out, but as other reviewers have said, you don't feel strained or too sore after! The studio is beautiful (just remodeled) and the teachers are all top notch--they make class enjoyable, and are willing to help. I have been going about 3x per week for about 6 weeks, and have seen significant results! Give it a try! I started with an unlimited classes for a month Groupon, and decided to continue. It's def worth it :) read more

I haven't worked out seriously in 4 years. Have had 2 kids, both C-sections, last one 7 weeks ago. Signed up for the one month/$100.00 special which is a good price. Committed to going 3 times a week. So far have gone to 4 classes. Some of the classes are too crowded. Felt the "burn" the first class but since then don't think I am doing the postures correctly. Can't feel a thing in my lower abs from the classes, but this may be due to the recent C-section. It would be nice for the instructors to get to know you. But each class (I go at the same time) has a different instructor-- no continuity and I can't work around the instructor's class times. I sense that there are instructors taking the class too as it would be nice for them to help out. I agree there should be a "newbie" class or limit the class size. Website is easy to use. Childcare area very small. Hoping to upgrade this by the end of my month. read more
