Community Feedback
"Rive Pilates is a Des Moines gem. Classes are small, Daniele is very skilled and a great instructor, and the space is calming and inviting. Loved keeping up my practice at Rive while home for the holidays."

"I took Daniele’s reformer class this morning and it was incredible. She somehow hits that ideal mix of challenging strength and super relaxing zen, my muscles were working but my mind felt peaceful the whole time. Her cues, pacing, and overall energy were spot on. I walked out feeling lighter, stronger, and totally refreshed."

"Daniele has created such an amazing space at Rive! I am brand new to reformer pilates, and have never felt like her classes were above my skill level. She has intentionally kept her class sizes small so that she can offer real time adjustments and feedback — which is AMAZING for someone that is frequently lost or unsure of how things should look and feel in the body. If you are looking for an intimate, all levels experience with a hands-on instructor, you need to come and try a session with Daniele. She’s created a place that Des Moines has been sorely missing!"
