Description

Specialties

The Dailey Method® is a unique combination of ballet barre work, core conditioning, muscle strengthening, yoga, and orthopedic exercises.

This challenging one-​hour class effectively strengthens, tones and lengthens the entire body. All movement is controlled and very focused, effective, and safe. Proper alignment is our primary focus. Then each set of exercises is followed by a series of active stretches to develop more sculpted and supple muscles. The entire body and mind is constantly working throughout class. Through this process ones body, posture, and physical awareness will be transformed.

History

Established in 2000.

Over 11 years ago The Dailey Method® was created and this is our story. Shortly after graduating from College in 1991 with a degree in Kinesiology, Jill Dailey McIntosh moved to San Francisco in her search for where to begin her career. Many different people helped direct her towards Pilates, which, at that time, was in the early stages of being publicly recognized. She completed the certified training for Pilates with The Pilates Guild and Physical Mind Institute, loved it, and practiced it both privately and semi-​privately for the next 9 years. During this time she was able to train other teachers and also incorporate more traditional fitness training and rehabilitation work into her format.

After several years of running a Personal Training/​Pilates business with a partner, she realized that what she really wanted to do was to help people reshape their bodies in a more assertive manner while still maintaining proper alignment and structure. What she didn’t realize is that through th

Positive energy is abundant here. Being a shy, new resident of Venice I found warm, welcoming women here. Everyone is very open and friendly.
Aside from the great atmosphere my body has never felt stronger or more competent. I have always been a runner but this method made realize the areas that needed strengthening.
Also being a new stay at home mom the childcare has been a lifesaver!!! Getting this hour for me while my daughter has a blast upstairs is amazing. Can’t say enough good things. I highly recommend this studio to all my girlfriends and my husband, whom occasionally comes.

I stumbled upon The Dailey Method years ago when I moved to the neighborhood and immediately fell in love with their classes and everyone at the studio. I had attended other barre technique classes and didn’t love what they did to my body. This technique is so much fun, I am never bored, and it keeps my body toned and lean. The teachers are all so lovely and engaging and clearly love what they do. And they foster a beautiful sense of community which is needed in this sprawling city. I can’t recommend this studio enough!

This is not my usual choice of working out. But I forced myself to try something different and 6 weeks later I’m still going. I do privates with Michelle and it’s my favorite time of the day. The sweetest, most patient teacher I’ve ever had. A gorgeous studio. I love this workout!!! I’m crazy about the results I’ve seen. I feel so strong and lean. Sleep better, mood is better and my butt is better. Thank you Dailey Method So happy I explored this and found you guys!

Exercise classes in the past have been like dating for me. I always got bored & wanting to see what else was out there. Until, The Dailey Method. I have found ‘the one’ in The Dailey Method!
The classes keep my body toned and healthy. The concentration on small movements and muscle engagement helps me to focus during class and literally make every movement count. And it continually keeps me challenged! I love the one-​hour format of the regular classes and if you want more cardio, they now offer 45-​minute interval classes. As a working mom, this has been the best exercise class for me in terms of effectiveness in the shortest amount of time. It has made staying in shape a simple two step recipe: SHOW UP (I aim for 3 times a week), GET RESULTS. That’s it. No more exercise dating for me. Im hooked!
Bonuses: Friendly staff, beautiful boutique-​like studio & easy parking!

When you have a stressful day or just wish to unwind, that’s the place to be. Awesome staff, modern design and overall pleasant environment will make your experience so much better. Coming from far away I wish the studio was closer to my home, but I wouldn’t think twice about recommending it to anyone who cares about looking fit and toned! love it!

The Dailey Method — Venice has become a home away from home, of sorts. I discovered it after having my first baby. The initial draw was the class that had childcare simultaneously… I could bring in my infant and drop with a loving a babysitter all the while I sweated a few feet away. If he cried I was able to step out-​manage-​and come right back to class.
What keeps me coming back is the support of the two wonderful owners, Michelle and Tenaya. They have seen me at my worst and never judge. They have created a beautiful studio with positive and energetic instructors who push the beginners and advanced, alike with kindness, clarity and understanding. They kick your butt, but an hour FLIES by.
I have now had my 2nd baby and I have less time to devote to «me», but when I do find that hour my first choice is to head to Dailey Method for my sanity, a killer workout, and smiling faces. I’d have to say my butt looks pretty good after having two babies, back to back… I can attribute this all to The Dailey Method.

I used to do barre exclusively at another barre studio a couple of years ago. It got to be too expensive so I stopped for a year… until I discovered Class Pass (game changer!) So now I’m a barre hopper :). I recently discovered The Dailey Method and it is by far my favorite barre workout!!! I’ve also gone to The Bar Method, Pop Physique and Pure Barre.
I’ve taken 2 Dailey Barre classes so far, one with Nikki and one with Tenaya. These classes are great and the workouts are insane (in a good way). They hurt so good! I’m shaking the entire class. There is a great balance of core, thigh arms, seat work, etc. And plank… holy plank!

BEST BARRE STUDIO EVER!!! I’m a workout fanatic and hard to please but this is the best barre studio and method I’ve experienced! All the teachers are super talented and always keep it challenging as well as fun. Never the same old routine and I always leave worked out but totally relaxed.
They are so friendly and welcoming! I’m also super impressed by the amazing customer service! It’s a happy place to start my mornings! Thanks guys for being so exceptional!!!

So good. One of the best Barre studios. I am buying a membership.
Clean, easy parking, and not an overpacked Sunday class.

I kicked everyone’s a** in this class! I also kicked their face, hands, knees, and whatever else got in the way of my stretch. The six o clock class was PACKED! So packed that they ran out of 2 lb weights and
I was mirroring my extensions to ensure they weren’t kicking other girls.
I’m possibly spoiled, but I prefer a slightly smaller class size. I really value the occasional one on one
This place is in the back alley, not on abbot Kinney. Don’t get lost!
The facilities were cool. Nice bathrooms. Free lockers. Nice staff.

I absolutely love TDM Venice! Not only does this workout actually produce results, the individual attention in class helps you work at your full potential. I’m stronger and more flexible than I’ve ever been and I love my tdm practice!

I am a huge fan of the Dailey Method. I’ve tried pretty much all the Barre Studios in Venice, Marina del Rey and Culver City, and this one is the best. Classes are different which keeps it challenging and interesting and makes it a great workout. The music is very cool, and the location is minimalist chic. The teachers are amazing, they will correct your postured, adapt the exercises to your level and instill a bit of fun along the way! it’s also 5 minutes bike ride from my house, so I got an unlimited pass and I go every other day, no excuse!
TRY IT.

I have tried several bar classes and found them to be dated and ‘uncool’.Dailey Method is the answer to this problem. The music is really awesome and the instructors are fantastic. I can’t believe they get my out of bed at 8am and on to the mat but the classes are that great. Teyana is the best. She is helpful, encouraging and makes the class challenging for people at all levels. I never question I will get a good workout when I sign up for a class. The facilities are super chic– you can literally see palm tree out of the sky lights and they sell super cute clothes too!

Really big fan of the Dailey Method. I’ve come 3 times via ClassPass and if it weren’t for ClassPass’s 3 class per month cap, I’d probably come several times per week. The facility is light and bright, has a calm and clean feel to it and the staff is fantastic. Very personable and welcoming. And unlike many other workout studios in the Venice/​Santa Monica area, it doesn’t have an aggressively young, made-​up and trendy feel. More of a come as you are workout studio for all types. Love it.
Tip: the entrance is on the Electric Ave side of the street, not Abbot Kinney.

Being a guy I was initially ambivalent about taking a class like The Dailey Method, but I’m glad I did. The workout is extremely challenging, and the core work has really helped me out with a few back issues I was having. The instructors are personable, receptive to questions and feedback, and are genuinely concerned with you doing the exercises the right way (not as common as you’d think).
Highly recommend TDM for anyone looking for a fun and energetic workout that produces results.

I love the Dailey Method in Venice! The instructors are all amazing, the studio has a high energy feel with beautiful lighting, and everyone in the DM community is super kind and encouraging.
After a month of classes I can say that starting my days with Dailey Method classes has changed my life! I wake up excited to go to class, I get pumped working out with a bunch of bomb ladies, and I leave ready to take on whatever comes my way!
The workout is extremely challenging, and you learn new things every day as you get better with your form and strength. I can feel my body getting stronger each day, and it really has encouraged me to make a lot of healthy life changes outside of the studio too as it makes me feel super empowered and recharged!

This studio has so many things going for it: great workout (I always feel energized afterwards), great looking studio (lots of natural light), plenty of parking, super-​efficient and friendly customer service, and instructors that are a joy to be around. I’ve never had a bad experience. Whenever I see they have a deal, I jump on it.
The workout is tough, but don’t give up. Do what you can, and you’ll get better each time. There are always modifications you can do as you’re getting better. I credit this Dailey Method studio with taking my strength (especially my upper body strength) to the next level.
Make sure you check a map before you go because the entrance isn’t on Abbot Kinney. You have to turn into the alley just behind it (between Electric Ave. and Abbot Kinney). That’s where you’ll find parking. I’ve only had to park on Electric Ave. once, and even then, it was directly in front of the entrance.

I’ve only been a few times, but so far I really like it. I’m sore after every class and I see the immediate results that in my opinion, only barre can offer.
The mixed class is energetic and everyone seems engaged the whole time. The instructors are attentive and very nice. The facilities are clean and water is available.
But the very best thing about this studio — –CHILD CARE IS AVAILABLE on week days in the a.m. Good luck finding that at another studio. I highly recommend!
