The Dailey Method

This is my first barre studio, and it will probably be my only one! This place is full of friendly energy and dedicated people that will seek your outmost wellbeing! From amazing cardio classes, to dedicated alignment strength exercises. This place is incredibly clean, light and airy. You can come here and be yourself and pursue a better self. At Least, that is what I do.
I also love the small nutritional tips that some instructors share, and how they gently align your body to perfect a pose. The soft and dedicated movements of each exercise will have you toned in places you never thought you had!

I’m 7 classes deep so far. Thankfully, I was able to purchase an unlimited monthly pass through Groupon. What will I do when that expires?!
The studio itself is beautifully decorated. There are showers, two to be exact (a plus if I ever actually go to a 6am class) although I am unsure if people actually take showers there since the lack of privacy. It is CLEAN and their front desk and instructors are pretty nice.
They also sell merchandise – except I still don’t see socks restocked (which is why I’m still wearing my pure barre socks at tdm).
The classes are awesome! Like I said, I’m 7 classes deep but not one workout have been exactly the same. I’m definitely going to be better for it. The good thing here is that the classes don’t get so packed allowing instructors to walk around and help you out with your form. It’s slower paced than Pure Barre, so you feel it more. I definitely feel like I am getting stronger.
My only recommendation is that most of the dailey basics classes are in the evenings, wish more classes were offered early in the AM. And just to note: I’m not your super active and fit person, and I don’t feel judge when I take classes there – I know that is always a barrier. Highly recommend!

Just finished my 2^nd class, and am already obsessed!
I have been doing yoga for 20 years and pilates for 10, and this is by far one of the most satisfying classes I’ve taken. I’m already starting to feel results within my body. And even though it’s not a hardcore cardio class — more stationary exercises and stretches — the endorphins are still coursing thru me!
The staff and instructors are all very warm and welcoming, and the students even seem to have a warm rapport — which we all know is not the case at some SF gyms!
I’m signed up to take classes everyday but Sunday for the next two weeks. I really should take before and after photos, because I just know they’re going to be amazing!

I’ve been intrigued by cardio barre for awhile, but didn’t bite the bullet on trying it out until I found out about TDM on Groupon. I have never loved a workout more than this one!
I’ve been taking classes from Jennifer and Jeanette for about two and a half weeks and I am OBSESSED.
I have scoliosis and for the past 5 years it’s been uncomfortable for me to sit straight, especially being a full-​time student and having to sit in classes all day. But in the past couple weeks, my back has never felt better. It’s helping my alignment, my posture, and it’s a total body workout that changes every day.
The classes are smaller in size so the instructors can really focus on making sure your alignment is correct. They do a really good job of letting you know what parts of your body should be where and what muscles to be using.
I’m absolutely in LOVE and so grateful to have found this studio! If you have even the slightest interest in cardio barre, PLEASE try out a class here! You won’t be sorry!!!

I rarely write reviews, and never about gyms or exercise classes, but the Dailey Method Barre studio on Ocean Avenue has been such an amazing discovery, that I have to share.
I initially joined only for the indoor cycling classes, and was not interested in the barre (pronounced just like a regular bar!) classes at all… I assumed it would be too difficult for me.
However, as I watched the barre classes before and after the cycling classes, I saw that the instructors varied each move to fit the strength level of each student… for example if holding a plank position for a minute is too difficult at first, you can do a plank with your knees on the ground until you gain more core strength. So I decided to give it a try… and boy what a difference! It is a combination of yoga, pilates and strength training, and the moves condition your muscles from head to toe… I started seeing marked improvement in my muscle tone and posture immediately, and with each class I feel my muscles strengthening and gaining definition… something I did not see with doing intense cycling 4 times a week for months!
And as a bonus the studio is clean, bright and inviting and the owner, Jeanette, is always there to make sure that everyone enjoys a welcoming environment. All of the instructors are fabulous and I need to give a shout out to Jennifer, who always knows how to motivate you to push yourself just a little bit more than you thought you could!
I highly recommend Dailey Barre on Ocean Avenue… try it, believe me you will see the light!

First, I feel I should disclose I found this little gem via Groupon. I’ve been searching for a studio to commit to for the past few months and trying countless ones through Groupon without any success, but the searching stops here — I honestly believed I simply had commitment issues. There are a few aspects that make this studio a gem. The studio is not very large, however that simply benefits the members as you get additional time with the instructors to perfect TDM. The location — I’ve been to a total of eight classes thus far and I have yet to run into any issues finding parking — it’s on the street, but heck, it’s free (make sure you read the signs for street cleaning!!!). The instructors — though I’m only eight classes deep, I have found the instructors at this studio to be knowledgeable, dedicated and most importantly (for myself at least), they’re personable. The studio provides a variety of classes to choose from, some are more intermediate than others, but I assure you that you’ll break a sweat no matter which one you decide to attend.
Now, I’ve read a review citing some pretty inaccuracies regarding this studio and their purchase via Groupon. As someone that utilized a Groupon to start training at this studio, unless you are illiterate, the instructions are provided on the Groupon voucher. It’s simple. Purchase your Groupon, email the studio, you’ll get an email back saying you can start scheduling classes (this happened within a couple hours for me). BAM!
I also wanted to comment that the scheduling process for classes is absolutely stress-​free. There’s an app that you can download that lists the classes that are available each day and their times — if it works for you, sign up for it. Your classes will show up under ‘my classes’ and you can cancel any class up to four hours before the class begins without being charged a fee. It’s doesn’t get easier than that.
If you’re looking for a great studio, I would suggest giving TDM a try — it’s really a no-​brainer.

All my life, I’ve been a yo-​yo dieter and exerciser. And over the past few years I’ve been in SF, it’s been difficult to find something that keeps me excited and fit… until I found The Dailey Method.
I’m loving my time at this studio. I work up a sweat and seriously, seriously feel the burn. The instructors have been most helpful in correcting my form too. I’ve realized that I do many exercises incorrectly, it’s no wonder that I haven’t been building muscle… ha!
What also makes The Dailey Method my new go to is the ample parking, cleanliness, and showers! Am I still in SF?! I’ve actually been eating healthier now too since working out here. I want to make my workout count, you know what I mean? I can’t wait to see how my body changes over the next few months: D

So glad that a Dailey Method opened up in my neighborhood. Its so convenient because its close to my home and its near muni lines. But what I love the most is I feel at home in this studio. Jeannette (Owner & Instructor) and her crew make workouts fun and approachable. I used to attend the studio Downtown, and although convenient to work I didn’t get the same vibe as the Ingleside studio. I really look forward to practicing with the other members and all the instructors because it feels like a community, and that makes all the difference.

Being a mom and running my own business, I barely have time to do anything, let alone work out– but I thought for the sake of my own sanity, I needed to take some time to myself so that I can have a clear mind to focus.
Many years ago, I did bar method (which I loved!), but now I live in Pacifica and there were no studios close by. I found Dailey Method on groupon and I tried it out for the month of December. I absolutely loved it, and when my one month trial expired, I signed up to be a permanent member.
I love TDM for many reasons… First, there is so much variety– you can pick and choose from cycle, interval (fast paced cardio/​barre), barre, and ballet. The morning after I attend a class, I am literally sore ALL OVER, guaranteed (which I love & hate at the same time!). I love the cool down at the end of the barre class, it might just be a combination of the music and their soothing voices that just takes me to this place of relaxation and peace; exactly what I need before I start my day of craziness! There is an abundance of parking in the area, just have to pay attention to the signs– it is 2 hour parking zones and they have street cleaning the 2^nd week of the month. When I first started, I got a street cleaning ticket, so I will never forget to pay attention to the signs now! The studio is super clean, with a locker room for you to store all your things, showers, etc. I also noticed that every time after class, people would wash their hands and get water everywhere around the sink and floor in the locker room, and Jeanette would come wipe it so that it would be clean for the next class.
Last but not least, I absolutely love Jeanette (the studio owner), Jennifer, Bryon as well as the other instructors. Not only do they make class fun, they also make sure you really have your form right so that you work the muscles you’re supposed to work in order to see results. I used to look at working out as a chore, but not anymore. It really feels like I am hanging out with my girl friends while I get my sexy on.
I would definitely recommend this to other women– I’ve seen my body change in a short period of time, and I’m loving it!

In the search for a barre studio close to my home, I stumbled upon The Dailey Method Ingleside Terrace. It was the perfect location with parking easily accessible and a Groupon for new customers. I was so ecstatic to give it a try. Unfortunately it was short lived, I stopped by the studio on a Sunday morning and spoke with Jeanette. She took down my name and Groupon code and informed me I must also email the code to them. She made it very clear that before attending any classes I must be signed up. During that interaction I felt unwelcome and made to feel like a bother for stopping by. That evening I emailed my code and for the next couple of days tried to sign up for classes through the site. I was unable to sign up because there was no option for Groupon code at «check out.» I called the studio and left a voice mail as well as sent another email. I never heard back. After over a week of trying and being unsuccessful I contacted Groupon and was able to get my money refunded.
I’ve heard nothing but good things about The Dailey Method and after finding this studio and reading their reviews I was sold. Unfortunately this experience was more disappointing than anything else. Groupon should be an opportunity to gain loyal customers not push them away. If you’re considering purchasing a Groupon, I suggest you save yourself the trouble.

I stumbled upon The Dailey Method because I was forced to buy the Groupon with my friend. I honestly didn’t know what I was getting myself into, however, after my first class I was hooked! After searching far and wide for a workout routine that I enjoy and works with my schedule, it’s definitely the barre classes at TDM.
The studio is located in a residential area with ample parking. I love how the steps say «always be a student» as you walk in. Inside, the studio is very clean and welcoming with its cute interior.
Jeanette, the studio owner, will know you by name. Out of all the instructors, I feel like she’s the most challenging and makes sure your alignment and posture is always correct. If it’s your first time, try attending the Dailey Basics class where you focus on the basics of alignment and form. You’ll still sweat it out though!
After a few classes, I can definitely see a difference in my arms, legs, and core in a good way! If you keep going, soon you’ll be flexible enough to do the splits. My stamina has improved so much that whenever I walk up this fat hill at school, I’m not panting by the time I’m on the third floor! Highly recommend!

I love the Ingleside Studio for the Dailey Method. The place is clean and bright, the instructors and classes kick your butt – that’s what you’re there for, right?
I especially like Barre classes with Jeanette, Kristi and Janie. They push you and make sure you are in proper position. All the instructors are great.
Now Jeannette has added cycling which is an amazing workout.
Since coming to classes regularly over past year, I have cleared up some hip pain and added 4 pounds of muscle.
Join the crowd at the Dailey Method for an awesome workout and a great community.

For the month of April, I bought the deal for 1 month unlimited classes. I am SO glad that I found this place. I went almost every day during the week for the month. Going to the classes made it a no-​brainier that I wanted to continue my membership.
The classes for my crazy schedule. I work 7:30 — 6:30, so I bought the Core Membership AM/​PM that is good for 6 months. I go to either the 6AM class, or the 7PM class. When I go to the 6AM class, it is convenient because they have 2 very clean, nice showers at the studio that I can use before heading straight to work.
The instructors are all amazing, and each of their classes challenge me in different areas. I have taken most of my classes with Janie – who is absolutely an amazing instructor. She is very good at explaining how to «feel» the correct movements. She has a gray tone, and her classes are great. I have also taken classes with Jeanette, Kristi and Maricel – who are all very great instructors who challenge me in different areas.
I was SO excited when they brought in the Cycle (spin) classes as well. You can rent shoes there for $ 5.
I have taken: Dailey Barre, Dailey Interval and also Cycle 45.
This place is HIGHLY recommended; and I am still so excited for each class that I take. :)

I purchased a one month unlimited class pass on groupon and I am so glad I did !!! Having moved from the east bay and away from my old gym I’ve been searching for a solid place to get me excited, motivated and back into my workout groove… And this is the spot! I have taken a few barre classes elsewhere in the area and it was always so-​so to me but coming here completely blew my mind. The classes are challenging but a good challenge, I feel myself getting stronger each class.
I love all of the instructors here! I am not the greatest with my form or strength but each instructor provides great positive feedback and always makes sure you are in good form and alignment! They are really motivating and always push you that one extra step when you feel like you’re going to give up! I love that they offer multiple classes throughout the day and the app makes it soooo easy to schedule classes into my day to day schedule. Oooooh and they have cycling classes!!! If you want to get your butt kicked (in an awesome way, of course!!) then take one of these classes! Jeanette brings such high energy, great music to ride to and makes the time fly by!

I love The Dailey Method and the instructors there– Jeanette, Marcel, Jennifer, Kristi, Janine and Camille. They do such a great job on teaching. They make sure you have the correct position and posture. All of the instructors make sure your hitting all the muscles in your body that you never knew you had. My first day. I was so sore! Thank you ladies.
I’ve joined through their groupon deal. (Which they’re still offering) My friend. who is a fellow Unilocaler… Told me about TDM– must I say I’m addicted to their classes and she is too. From Barre to cycling I can’t get enough. I get so sad when I have to miss a day due to work. But I must say I’m happy with the studio. I’ve since renewed for another unlimited month of classes. I also recruited a friend as well. The more the merrier– well I hope it doesn’t get too big! I like how the studio has a small intimate setting– where the teachers are really focusing on the students. Which is a plus in my books.
Thanks TDM for pushing me to continue to work out in a fun and friendly environment! You ladies ROCK!!!

I used to practice the Dailey Method several years ago when I lived in Marin. After moving to Ingleside two years ago, and still driving all over the city to go to various other classes, I was thrilled when I saw that they had open the studio right on Ocean Avenue! I’m not quite sure how it took me a year and a half to notice it, but nonetheless I did.
It’s even better and more effective than I remember it in the past! The instructors are fantastic, really making sure that the participants are in the correct position and alignment, while keeping the class fun and on pace. I’ve taken six classes over the past two weeks, and I can already see the difference in my body– my legs are stronger and leaner, and my core much stronger. In my opinion this was last missing piece in an otherwise really great neighborhood! Thank you!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE DAILEY METHOD (Ingleside Terrance Community)! I started with a Groupon; however, I love it so much I joined. It’s wasn’t easy in the beginning because I hadn’t worked my tiny muscles but with consistency, great motivation and the best instructors I was able to improve my core muscles and tiny muscles all over my body. When I started I could not do one minute planks; however, with all the motivation from Jeanette (studio owner), Janie, Jen, Sarah (mostly does 6am and some weekends) Marcel and Camille (newest instructor) I was able to keep up with the workout and felts amazing afterward.
ABOUT THE INSTRUCTORS:
Jeanette: She’s the studio owner, phenomenal leaders, fitness enthusiast, mom, has a karate black belt, and is a certified bad ass women! She does a phenomenal job motivating the class, consistently goes around fixing your workout alignment to make sure you’re doing it properly and correct, she does her best to modify your workout if you have physical complications and her classes are always fun, new and exciting (you will FEEL THE BURN).
Janie: Janie is awesome! She’s a long time ballet dancer so she really knows the purpose of your moves and kinesiology. Janie provides great music during barre, has a great way of projecting her voice so we’re always motivated while we feel the burn. In between the burn she does a great job explaining how our muscles work and why we feel the burn. She’s constantly telling us to keep up with our breathe (breath in and breath out) so we build stamina and stamina helps increase our endurance.
Jen (Jennifer): Jen is great leaders to the class! She projects her enthusiastic personality all over the class. She’s a mom of three but you would never know because she’s in great shape and really cares about her body which motivates me to care about mine. When she joins us in a workout she’s competitive but shows her great leadership skills. Jen provides different moves from Jeanette and Janie so you will feel the BURN differently with each instructor.
Marcel & Sarah: Marcel & Sarah are so sweet, always happy and also enthusiastic. They also do a great job motivating the class, fixes alignment and will make you go lower if she knows you can do more. They’re constantly pushing you to improve your strength and makes you be the best version of yourself.
Camille: Camille is one of the newest instructors. I’ve only taken a few classes with her but so far she does a great job. There’s room for improvement but she’s getting great feedback from her students and leaders which constantly does better.

–don’t give up; it will be over before you know it
–I tell myself during the burn, «pain is weakness leaving my body»

–don’t stop breathing in and out throughout the whole class (important)
Overall TDM is great! You will love it like I do.

Came here because of a groupon deal.
Came to mainly Jeanette and Janie’s classes because of my schedule. Made it to Jennifer’s class once. I love them all but Jeanette is the killer. Everyone’s right. She really makes you work out. She is pretty intimidating but if you really want to push yourself, come to her class. Based on my visit, everyone fixes your posture but Jeanette does it the most, which makes it even more of a workout. I love the clean studio — 2 showers (they let you use their towels), lockers, restroom and childcare. Sometimes the air freshener is a bit too much for me. I come out smelling like it.
If you’re a newbie, make sure you wear pilates socks (the ones thay have sticky stuff at the bottom). Otherwise you will be slippin and sliding in the class like me ;) shoes are not allowed in the classroom so make sure your socks dont stink! Otherwise your poor neighbor will suffer.
Would definitely come back here if only the classes arent that expensive…

I LOVE Dailey Method!
Jeanette, the owner, is also a teacher and is one of the best! She truly challenges you to the point where you feel the burn! Yet in a good way that will reward itself in the long run. She is very skilled with various moves that absolutely train your body to become more flexible, gain strength, and stamina.
Janie is AWESOME! Not only is she proficient with ballet dancing among other forms of dance but she teaches you the aspects of the body while the students perform the moves. Being knowledgeable towards what muscles for each position and how it affects the rest of the body is extremely helpful towards learning why we perform each exercise.
The studio is adorable, clean and full of energy!
There are showers, bathrooms, daycare, locked cubbies, towels (big/​small) provided. This makes going to barre at 6am easier so one can get ready for work right after.

O.M.G. this place is AMAZING! Thanks to Groupon, I discovered TDM. Prior to coming to this studio, I had been to various Pilates and group fitness classes… Though, the workouts HERE are unique — for strengthening and stretching! I believe the exercises in these classes aim to work a number of your muscles — including those inadvertently forgotten when partaking in other types of exercise routines.
Foremost, the studio is new, lovely, and very clean! Towel service. Plentiful parking — and nearby, too. ((WARNING — if you park in the neighborhood, be mindful of where you step as the sidewalk segments are UNEVEN = be careful not to trip!)) Back to the studio…
Positive atmosphere, and the instructors are experienced & GREAT! During each of the classes, they’ve corrected my form (MANY times!) — so that I’ve obtained fulfilling workouts! I have taken Dailey Interval (super sweaty and hard but AWESOME), Dailey Barre, and Daily Basics classes. I’ve taken more classes with JEANETTE and JANIE — both are awesome and very pleasant! I’ve taken a few classes with Maricel, Sarah, and Jennifer as well = all kind & positive, too! MANY thanks to this amazing studio’s existence! I aim to return for more classes.
Note — socks are required; though the rubber-​grip sole (non-​skid) kind are super helpful! BTW, cute non-​slip socks = for sale at the studio… Though they’re fast sellers — so be sure to grab ‘em before they go!
Only gripe… The floor mats are a bit thin. When extra ones have been available, I’ve doubled up, or I have bent a single mat in half so as to provide adequate cushioning for my back, behind, and knees.
