The Dailey Method

Inspirational, is the one word I’d use to describe this TDM studio.
Late 2014 I bought a Groupon for the TDM practice in a last ditch effort to self-​rehab from a fracture at my Sacrococcygeal junction suffered from a fall in May 2014. After the injury, I was unable to lie on my back, sit, walk, or stretch without pain.
I took my 1^st TDM class 2/​2015, and about a month into the practice I began experiencing less pain in my back and hip joint. With the aid of walking sticks, I began taking walks again, and by month three I was practicing and walking with minimal pain. over the summer I trained and participated in doing the 2^nd half of the 39 mile Avon walk, 16 miles, no sticks =) I’m as strong as I’ve ever been.
THANK YOU Ann Marie, for allowing me to use my slightly expired Groupon, and providing us with awesome line up of instructors and facility. The women in this studio are phenomenal; they truly practice what they preach. Each instructor has their own personality and style of leading the class. Eight months into the practice and I’m still learning new challenges

Tried this place with a groupon I had purchased. They are friendly and the workouts are great. They different packages you can buy; unlimited or so many classes. They offer child care too

The studio was clean and the instructor was really nice. The only thing was that the class was very busy on the Sunday afternoon. I I’m definitely planning to go back!

It really should be called The Dailey Burn — it’s an awesome workout — who knew that even the smallest movements could be so rewarding? I’m addicted. It makes you feel taller, leaner and just fantastic. All instructors seem to be happy and helpful. There are tons of options throughout each day to make a class. Advice: Purchase non-​slip socks before going (really helpful for not sliding on the carpet).

All of the instructors are amazing! This is a kick a** workout. I haven’t been in a while because I have 2 young kids and I have a pretty bad neck injury. But I did go during my pregnancy and it was awesome. Definitely contributed to me getting back in shape after my second. I look forward to being able to get back in the studio.

I tried the monthly pass and became addicted pretty quickly. The interval class & mix are both awesome options and you really get strong & lean with regular sessions. The studio is very clean and the instructors are all fabulous with their own style. I only wish they offered 7am classes on the week days so I could make a morning class.

After a month of working out here I’m impressed by the diverse array of workouts that never get boring.
PROS:
— Strikes the right work out balance between invigorating and centering
— Hands-​on, 1:1 approach to correcting posture in group setting
— Great assortment of music: top 40 mash-​ups, throwbacks and some alternative tunes I’d never heard before
— Female power! Workouts channel some great feminine energy
— Online sign-​up option for easy one-​off or recurring scheduling
— Daycare available for those with kiddos
— Enthusiastic staff will let you know that YOU CAN DO IT in case you ever had a doubt
— Earliest class 8:40am; latest 7pm
— Result: long, lean, poised, relaxed body
CON:
— That price tag. You’re looking at about $ 200 per month.

This is the first barre facility I have been to and I didn’t know what to expect after I purchased an introductory deal through Groupon. I read the Unilocal reviews and thought rough, but ok. This is a totally different type of exercising and my body felt so beat up after the first day that I could not do any exercising for 4 days (I usually go to 4 – 6 Zumba classes in a week). Then I picked myself up and went back. I paced myself a little better the second time and then I became addicted to the exercises. Your body feels different (stronger, more aligned?) after each time. The class is more serious than I prefer, but something makes me want to go back. Could it be that the more classes you attend, the less painful it gets? Not sure…

The Daily Method in Novato is a very unique workout concept and it was introduced to me via one of my colleagues who is an attorney and his daughter owns a studio in Santa Rosa. He knows I like to work out a few times a week and do a combination of weights, cardio and Zumba. For us males this workout is absolutely brutal! GOOD BRUTAL that is as the muscles and skill sets required are not used very often. Luckily for me doing gymnastics in college for a few years and martial arts through my adult life these movements are not completely foreign to me.
What I like about the Daily Method, great visability from the street, great parking at the mall as well as coffee house and restaurant for aftterworkout rewards.
The look is modern, very clean, bathroom well maintained. I would suggest putting the extra carpeting and other junk in the back behind an enclosed wall as it just kills he presentation.
The instructors are very friendly and made me feel very welcome. Luckily on the day I was there another man was participating. Not that I haven’t been the only straight guy in a room full of women before but it is a little bit awkward at first.
The ladies in the group all seem to thoroughly enjoy the class and I didn’t hear any complaints other then being satisfied once the workout was finished. I have two more complimentary lessons and very much looking forward to attending. I think this is a great opportunity for men who are open minded and want to increase their flexibility as well as use muscles they have never used before give it a try.
This is a great gift for your colleagues, family and friends if they like to workout and want to try something different. Makes a great stocking stuffer. I sure hope my stocking has another envelope in it.
Thank you Daily Method making me feel so welcome as a male.

I am so glad I have discovered this place!!! Amazingly awesome core workout while toning and sculpting! It’s been great for my low back and I have a bad knee. The work and concentration on alignment has helped tremendously and I’ve only been going for a week (4 classes so far). I scored the Groupon deal but would gladly have spent the money at regular price. The instructors are great and friendly. Facility is clean and perfect for the classes. I’m officially obsessed with Barre!!! I love this place :)

I’ve always been one to dread exercising, but I’ve been addicted to the Dailey Method for 2 great years! Not only did it help me get off the ‘baby weight’ and keep it off, but it has me in the best shape of my life!

I feel very lucky to have moved within a mile of this Dailey Method. The facility is hyper clean and welcoming and the teachers are well trained and great with personalized adjustments (as a former yoga teacher I understand how hard it is to help someone with a modification while continuing to give instructions to others and not leave them stuck in a tortuous pose for 10 mins).
Compared to my SF workout experiences, I really appreciate that here, parking is easy and classes aren’t crowded and it’s even a little cheaper. You should try the interval class, which keeps your heart rate up the whole time, or the Express class on days you only have an hour lunch total and 45 mins to work out. I wish there were even more class time slots and an interval option every day, but that’s probably the downside of a less populated location.

I love this Dailey Method studio. The concise class kicks your butt. I walk out of class with weak trembling legs because I’ve worked so hard. They offer classes at all times of the day to accommodate all schedules. They even have childcare. I’ve loved every instructor. They are friendly, informative, and approachable. I’ve been going for about 3 weeks and I definitely see results: toned arms and legs, less cellulite on the back of my thighs and butt, tighter core, better posture and stamina. And, my butt looks nice and perky:) I’m addicted.

I can’t say enough about The Daily Method! I love it. Its a full body workout in 1 hour. I have never gotten so many compliments on my abs, and after having 3 babies that was a big deal to me. I’ve done many different workouts also but none of them got my abs as toned. I always love the way I feel after class body, mind & soul. Always sore the next day to! The Novato studio is beautiful! The instructor ‘s are all so amazing and so nice always there to guide you, and answer any question you might have. They offer lots of different class times which makes it so nice to choose from. They offer childcare also which is great! So awesome to have a TDM in Novato. :)

**Preface– I am a yogini at heart, and love yoga for the blend of body-​mind-​spirit awareness, and that I leave a yoga class being worked physically, and relaxed mentally and emotionally.**
Ok, the work out is killer and gets results, there’s no question about that.
The people who work there are very sweet (for the most part).
Maggie is awesome! very helpful, sweet, always available to answer any alignment questions I had (because of my injured neck specifically).
The music is LOUD and Obnoxious EVERY time (must be a requirement all teachers have to abide by). And the web site says that it is a blend between yoga and pilates– I’m sorry, but one downward dog does not a yoga practice make.
Over all, the place was pretty clean, the people were nice, and the work out was good. So it deserves at least 3 stars, but the music, and the lack of awareness around breath, and relaxing had me wanting more for the price that they charge.
$ 199 /​mo is way out of my budget as a student, so I bought the videos and have been doing them at home for great results as well (with out the annoying loud music that they play in the class).
Glad I tried it on a Groupon Special.

For the last couple of years I have been sporadic with exercising at best. I did Bikram (which I loved) but it took way too much time to get to class, to take the class, go home and shower for another hour to get all the sweat off, etc. I’m a busy person so I need something that fit with my schedule AND give me results. I’ve taken two classes so far (back-​to-​back days) and I am SORE in the best way. I can already feel and see a difference in my legs, arms, and abs. The workout is fast-​pace and engaging, the beautiful studio is in a great and location and accessible from 101, and the instructors are fantastic. I’ve taken the 4:30pm class and there hasn’t been more than 10 people in the class. They also have childcare if you’re a busy mom.

Thank you Dailey Method! I loved your class (and that is saying a lot… I’ve never been that into fitness!). I can’t wait to go back. Also, thank you for donating to our school auction. You are running a great business and supporting the community in the process!

The Dailey Method is a tough workout (especially in the beginning) but I get the results I want. I feel stronger, have lost some weight and am toning muscles I never knew I had. The instructors are so welcoming and helpful. They adjust your form, throughout class, to ensure you are targeting the exact muscle that you should be. The showers are wonderful with supplied shampoo, conditioner and body wash. The schedule has early morning and evening classes to really accommodate everyone. The childcare room is really nice with lots of toys. You can purchase a package for classes and childcare.
So grateful that The Dailey Method opened!

I love The Dailey Method! I’m 55+ and out of shape. The combination yoga, pilates, ballet bar stretching is perfect for what I want to accomplish — build my core strength and get rid of the middle age spread! The studio is beautiful and the staff couldn’t be nicer. I’ve taken classes from Anne-​Marie and Maggie. Both are excellent instructors — very nice, helpful, encouraging. The hour session is a real workout for my muscles. I found muscles I never knew I had

I’m thrilled that the Dailey Method Studio opened in Novato on August 6^th, the studio is really beautiful with nice shower and locker facilities for men and women and childcare services. I’ve taken three classes from Anne-​Marie, the owner of the studio, she is a fantastic instructor, extremely helpful and very compassionate. The focus of the Dailey Method is lengthening and strengthening your body. After three sessions, I can already feel my core and thighs getting firmer; I’m loving the results!!!
