I have an unlimited membership at TDM through the Berkeley studio.
I was in SF, and I thought I should go check out the TDM over there. I was unaware that my unlimited membership did not apply outside of the East Bay. I have been to the Piedmont and Berkeley locations so many times, and I remember being told that I could go to all the TDM studios around, and I thought this included SF as it is so close!
I was quite upset that the Cow Hollow location did not honor this, and I had to pay 25 dollars to go to class! I honestly was going to leave, but I had walked so far to get there, and it was raining, so I stayed.
Class was good, but I was so upset at the whole incident.

I recently bought a Groupon for The Dailey Method in Cow Hollow and I’m so glad I did!
As soon as I walked in the door, I was warmly greeted by the receptionist, filled out some paperwork, promptly taken on a tour and introduced to my instructor. The studio is adorable and well-​kept with plenty of light, the staff members are SO friendly (Georgia’s my favorite instructor and on my 2nd class with her, she remembered my name. Impressive with so many people coming through!) and the classes are intense (in a good way).
I have never felt like I needed to own a specific brand of clothing or be a specific size to work out here. Or maybe I’m just not noticing other people while I’m focusing on what I’m doing, but either way, it’s worth it to give it a chance.

After having been a dedicated regular at the Bar Method, I decided to give the Dailey Method a try. I had just had a baby, and was lured by their $ 199 unlimited class/​unlimited childcare deal. I am so glad I went.
First of all, the staff is sooo friendly. They are a million times nicer to you than the Bar Method. And yes, I acknowledge some people’s comments that the facilities are a little less nice than the Bar Method… but the community at The Dailey Method more than makes up for that. After having attended for 3 months, every teacher knows my name and the other students are appropriately interested in each other, but not in the competitive and annoying «fake» Marina kind of way way.
Second, the teachers really pay attention to form. In particular, Leslie and Katina are amazing at correcting form. They don’t let much slide, but you are grateful to them in the end. Also, Leslie’s Interval Class is A-​MAZING. Every time I went, I ended up grateful for such an intense work out. Peri and Georgia’s classes are also a blast — and they do a great job at keeping you motivated. The only instructor I wasn’t so hot on was Chelsea. She was fine, but she doesn’t make enough form corrections IMHO.
Third, I really have seen results. Even while nursing, I was able to drop a bit of baby weight and I am so incredibly thankful for that. My arms have never looked more toned and my postpartum core is starting to look pretty flat again :)
All in all, a great studio. Such accommodating and warm people, who genuinely want you to succeed. Totally worth the investment.

I’ve gone to barre classes before and I LOVE this place the most. The instructors are always so upbeat and willing to help or modify things for you to fit your needs. I haven’t been going here long at all and can totally feel and see a change in my core. I haven’t taken a single class where I didn’t like the instructor yet!

Love Taylor! Tried others, but I continue to go back to her classes. She really works the muscles that I never knew I even I had! Yes, I’m a groupie.

As a lazy a$$ as me, after spending several years trying to drag myself to the gyms, this is one work-​out that motivated me and got me addicted to itself! I started with principles class at cow hollow location which really teaches you how to align right and make it right! It’s hard and you feel the burning feeling in your thighs and discover the muscles that you’ve ever imagined that existed before. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to tone the muscles and stay fit.

Found & Lost: Taylor at TDM!
I’ve tried barre classes at four different studios before and never felt as challenged as I did in Taylor’s class. Thank you Unilocal for the accurate reviews! The layout of exercises was very similar to the other methods I’ve tried but her enthusiasm and hands on corrections are what really made me get into the right muscles. She literally changed my body in one hour.
The next morning I saw definition in my arms, abs, and thighs that I haven’t felt since the time I had a Pilates private session on the reformer machine. Usually these privates are $ 75-​$ 100 EACH TIME, so needless to say I was thrilled to get the same results in one $ 22 barre class.
After checking back I noticed that Taylor is no longer on the schedule. If anyone finds her please let me know, my abs would greatly appreciate it!

Dailey Method CHANGED my body! I feel so much stronger and leaner after taking up these classes. Plus, the instructors are extremely patient, energetic, and motivating. Taylor’s one of my favorite teachers — but awwww, I always feel the burn the next day!

Two days into my classes at The Dailey Method and I am loving it. I have done Bar Method and Pure Barre (also great) but Dailey Method is awesome. The instructors are hands on and are great at correcting you. Even though I have more than 75 barre classes under my belt, TDM techniques are really stimulating my muscles. The movements may not seem like much but they go deep. The nonstop movement in class keeps you going too. Can’t wait for my next class!

So after a year of being hesitant because I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to handle it, I finally took the dive and started coming here a few months ago through the$ 100 new client unlimited deal and– I seriously wish I started sooner!!! When I finally came, it was not intimidating at all. There are people of all levels, and the instructors are all extremely patient/​helpful with giving corrections and making sure everyone does each posture correctly.
I usually go to Taylor’s classes and ahh I love her! She is really sweet and so energetic. I always feel extra sore after a class with her, and my legs will still shake when I walk out of class afterwards. I’m not sure how Taylor does it, but she somehow always walks over just as I’ve thought I’ve reached my limit, and her enthusiasm gives that extra push through the torture– I mean posture!
Some other instructors I really like are Delilah, Chelsea, and Sharon. You can’t really go wrong with anyone, they all have their own style, and there are different twists to the postures every week so it never gets boring.
After three months, my body has changed soo much! My stomach has flattened out, I see muscles peeking out from my abs, I have visible biceps for the first time in my life, my legs have become leaner, and an ass, I have an ASS!!! I like to run, and this has increased my flexibility too, I can finally touch the ground without bending my knees!
Awesome music selection too!!! It’s really upbeat and dance-​ish. Will definitely be coming here for a while.

Bizarre that you can workout and never have to say a word to another being. No interaction. Mean Girls central. If you dont live in LuLuLemon — you are clearly not welcome

The dailey method rocks!
I’ve been going here since late November and I really love these classes. The schedule is accommodating to most work schedules and the classes are challenging and fun. For me, an important factor is having good music to keep me motivated as I’m feeling the burn of the pilates/​ballet/​light weight workouts. Honestly, if it weren’t for the LMFAO, mixed with Adele, Rhianna, and others… I’m not sure how I’d make it through the hour! Also, the instructors make a difference too. The instructors here are motivating and energetic, but also caring and I feel like they really try to help you perfect your form.
The more classes I attend, the better I feel. The only drawbacks about this place is that sometimes the classes are way too packed, especially on the weekends. Also, I really wish that it was priced around $ 120-​$ 150/​month for unlimited packages, because I would probably go a lot more often… for now my $ 165⁄10 pack for early/​late sessions will work for me!

I have gone to 3 classes at the Dailey Method (with 3 different instructors) and definitely agree with other reviews on here that Taylor is really the best part about this studio. I have taken barre classes at other studios (Physique 57 in NY and Bar Method in Downtown SF location) and compared to all the instructors I have seen, Taylor is really an amazingly energetic and inspiring instructor!
The only gripe I have about this studio is that the Saturday morning classes I attended were jam-​packed, literally elbow to elbow. It was difficult to do arm exercises and planks without hitting the person next to you. I also found finding free parking on a Saturday morning to be rather difficult.
Overall, a very clean and welcoming studio and a class with Taylor felt like 2 bar method classes!

I am nearing the end of my first month of Dailey Method (going ~ 3x per week). I am have become a devout DM believer.
I’m not new to the world of exercise. In the past two years I’ve run multiple marathons and half marathons and I’ve been a regular bikram yoga participant. None of these activities made my body change as quickly as the Dailey Method. But be warned, you’ll have to work for it — especially with Taylor. I’ve left her class more sore that after 26.2 miles of running. She is the real deal.

I have exercised in a large gym setting like the Bay Club for most of my life, but now I have Dailey Method-​Mania! I am challenged by the Dailey Method instructors (especially Taylor!) and I am motivated by the client’s sculpted, strong bodies. I am regularly humbled by beautiful women in their 50s out performing me in class, although I know I shouldn’t compare myself…
I recommend you sweat and shake in the Dailey Method studio soon.

It’s been almost a year since I converted… I can truly say it’s been a serious integral part of my overall fitness regimen.
Taylor continues to be the most motivating, most energetic instructor. Seriously, yesterday, my friend, whom experienced her first class… was most impressed with Taylor’s energy, her fine teaching skills and her umph!
As a class attendee, MAJOR pluses is having an instructor doing more than just «do this… do that…», it’s about engaging with your attendees, motivating them, correcting them, making us love and hate you both at the same time… and above all, being amazing in the trade you are representing and «teaching» others. Taylor encompasses all of the above.
Much love to my DM teachers, you all are special ladies!

DM classes, taken two or three times per week as a supplement to my cardio routine (45 mins, 3x/​week) and cutting back on all things unhealthy (food, booze), contributed to my ten pound weight loss in one month. More importantly, it gave me SHAPE. I have a desk job and have noticed that certain body areas have flattened out or puffed up oddly in the past few years, and this class changed that. In one month. Three times a week, sometimes two. I AM PROOF. I AM A BELIEVER.
Also– great music. Feel good vibes. Carrie K and Leslie were great. One instructor was not. She is not mentioned by name on either SF location’s Unilocal,so there’s a clue for you.

I was a little hesitant at first going to the Daily Method, because I am a runner, and I am not flexible at all. The first instructor I had was a witch. She kept singling me out because I couldn’t lift my leg on the bar. Sorry I have muscle and am tight. The next time I went I had Taylor. She was so sweet an amazing. She pushed me but she had so much energy, not to mention a body to die for. I went back and had another instructor. She was so boring that I went for a run after.
No one compares to Taylor’s instruction. If you want a hard, challenging workout by a motivating, teacher who won’t single you out, but makes you push yourself, go to Taylor’s class. The other instructor’s will waste your time.

I love Dailey Method, I hate Dailey Method. Well, I only hate it when I’m gasping in the middle of class.
I’m not going to lie, this isn’t easy. It’s ballerina boot camp, what I imagine pilates to be like, and medieval torture all rolled into one. I’ve had my thighs shake so violently I thought I might hit my head on the bar. I wasn’t quite sure how I was going to make it to my 4th floor walk up after class either. But I made it, and I’ve been returning ever since.
Taylor is my absolute favorite instructor. Her classes are so hard I’m convinced they count for two visits. (This is a good thing) Not only does she push everyone to work their hardest while being so darn nice, but I’ve noticed that when we do exercises that are difficult for me because of a knee injury she is always right next to me to make sure I’m doing the right modification.
Classes aren’t cheap, but you make up for it in results. I’m happy to fork over the cost of 2 drinks a week to drop a dress size. If that isn’t enough proof here’s the thing — I just took a three week hiatus, and I already noticed a change in my body for the worse. Yes, I just used my butt (am I allowed to use the A-​word on this thing?) as a unit of measurement for a review. And I just scheduled two classes for this week.

I have been an athlete my whole life – played college tennis and soccer, now run marathons, am a Bikram enthusiast. But I wanted something toning leading up to my wedding (what girl doesn’t?). So upon my running buddy’s advice, I started going to Dailey Method exactly five weeks before my wedding. And woo boy, I didn’t know four weeks could make such a difference but I’m on my 26th class (out of the last 30 days) and have rock hard muscles in places I’ve only had flab before!
I love, love, love the classes, too. Each one is different, though it follows the same structure (plank, core, arms, bar, etc.), and you move so quickly from one exercise to the next that it never gets boring. I’m sad that my month unlimited (for the first month, you can go as much as you want for $ 100) runs out tomorrow, as I’m not going to be able to afford to go every day anymore! Don’t get me wrong, I’ll buy a package and go two to three days a week, but at $ 20 for a drop-​in ($ 17 to $ 19 per class depending on the package you buy), the prices are a bit steep.
I haven’t had an instructor that I don’t like, but I tend to gravitate toward Christina and Emily if they’re teaching that day. I’m guaranteed to be sore the next day when I take a class from either of them, plus, they have really great personalities and make the experience a lot of fun (for as much fun as an hour of muscle quivering can be!).
Overall, I give the Dailey Method 4.5 stars, only because the price is a bit high. Otherwise, it would get five plus!

I bought an introductory month-​long pass that DM promotes for new customers. Because I was not working, I was able to take full advantage of the pass and go several times per week for a whole month. The first couple of classes kicked my butt, and I was very sore for some time in several muscle areas. In short order, I found my physique changing for the positive. I definitely got more toned and flexible. However, I found myself incredibly bored after about a dozen classes. The movements were very dull and repetitive despite the subtle changes teachers would make. Basically, you do the very same method (hence Dailey method), to achieve results in various body/​muscle areas.
I don’t think of myself as particularly athletic, but I have been a dancer, runner, and swimmer from a very young age, and as a dancer (ballet, tap, jazz, modern) I am accustomed to doing endless stretches, warm-​ups and bar exercises, but I also enjoy the part where you get to dance. I feel like the DM focuses on achieving results, rather than enjoying movement and achieving a great body as a by-​product. I realize the DM is not a dance studio, and so bottom line: DM is a solid method to get results if you want a toned body, but it’s not a particularly interesting way to get there, at least not for me.

I have been a regular of Dailey Method for over a year now. I am an avid fitness buff. I workout every day, whether it be walking, spinning, running or weight lifting. Dailey Method provides me with a break from my own routine. Dailey Method has whipped me into shape like nothing else! I love it! The class works all parts of the body: arms, legs, butt and abs– all in one hour. The class also involves a lot of awesome deep yoga-​like stretching. I have a difficult time actually making myself stretch before and after cardio on my own– and I hate yoga. Dailey Method has provided me with a good outlet for toning and stretching.
I have attended classes at the Rincon Center and in Burlingame. However, the Cow Hollow location is my all time favorite. Taylor is the best instructor I have taken at Dailey Method. She has this awesome drill sergant way of very sweetly telling you to take down another inch and do one more set and hold it for 8 more seconds. She smells nice too. Really, she always has the best perfume!
If you are considering Dailey Method I suggest you try a class with Taylor. I also suggest that you splurge and buy the sticky bottom socks, they really make a difference.
