  A gem of a boutique studio. This Dailey Method is a true local business run by a lovely family (Brittany and Mike). I've been consistently impressed by the friendliness and care in instruction from the teachers, as well as the sense of community from the other regular students. No one judges, and you will see people of all shapes, ages and genders come here regularly to stay fit. The clean showers and attentive child care add to the appeal. These guys are successful because of the obvious care and pride in the studio and you will feel it as strongly as your sore flutes after taking their signature Dailey Barre classes!

  I literally started going to Dailey Method so I could shower. My kids were then 1 and 3 and I was looking for a place with childcare. I emailed and asked if they would watch the kids long enough for me to shower after and when they said yes, I signed up. At that time, they had an instructor named Jonathan who was super strict on me. I loved it - I came in thinking I could finally take a shower by myself and he was making me actually concentrate and focus on myself for an hour. I personally had to work up to taking Brittany (the owner's) classes. I didn't work out during my pregnancies and my body was out of whack after nights spent slumped in a chair breastfeeding and walking with a carrier. Her classes are demanding. What I love about Brittany's class now is that she has a deep understanding of anatomy, she is 100% focused on the class for its entirety, she is intense about bringing you into the room and pushing you to be focused for the entirety of the class and she has excellent taste in music. Its a workout that's given me the best body of my life at 42, but also Brittany's perspective has shifted my mindset from what I look like to focusing on my overall health and working toward having good posture, being strong, flexible and supporting my joints. (A message that women don't always get, unfortunately.) In my 20s I had knee problems and had to go to physical therapy. If I get 2 classes in per week, I can run my Saturday 5K now without the slightest bit of soreness in my knee. Brittany also brings the same intensity and focus into training all the teachers there and every time I get off my schedule and take a new instructor, I'm pleasantly surprised by the class. Some favorites I'd recommend if you are trying for the first time are Audrey, Michelle and Usha.
