TDM in Lake Forest is run by very supportive women, with a great variety of instructors all from whom I have learned a ton and who are always willing to help me with questions or modify if I have an injury. Since doing TDM I have lost 15 pounds and one pants size, but more importantly I have become stronger and leaner and more physically fit. Exercise is always great but exercise with wonderful supportive people is the ultimate. This studio is near parking, is always clean and the kids room staff is great too!

The Dailey Method Lake Forest is fantastic! Instruction is top notch! The studio is spacious and locker room is spa-like. This location has the best retail of any TDM studio I’ve been in! I had to run out of class but next time I will definitely pick a few things up. Tina, the owner, was an instructor at the Bucktown location in the city. Before we get to the the actual instruction, please know that she has the *best* playlists. Okay, okay… Tina has the best cadence as an instructor. I love her classes. TDM is a full body workout. Although the class is basically — warm up/arms/thighs/seatwork/abdominals/cooldown — full body training is sprinkled throughout the entire class. Each area is strengthened and lengthened. I was a longtime runner with knee issues. I had been to physical therapy to alleviate my knee issues but I never achieved the recovery that I needed to be successful until I started TDM. It is truly a challenging and rehabilitative workout. I have never seen results with any workout — yoga, pilates, running, strength training, etc — like I have with TDM. Such tiny movements — such big results. As a former dancer, the movement appeal to my dancer-nature. Flexibility and strength is the main focus, but your heart rate will be high(especially in Tina’s classes). There is a focus on the breath as well and the studio strives to be a truly positive environment. I don’t respond to people who tear me down — TDM builds you up.
