"After trying several studios, Darien Pilates is the one that truly helped me get results. Claudia customizes every session to my goals and my condition that day — precise, highly personalized instruction that meets me where I am and pushes me to improve. In 18 months, I’ve increased mobility and built core strength, leading to less knee and hip pain and better performance when skiing, kayaking, cycling, and hiking. If you want to get stronger, be more athletic, and get in better shape faster, I highly recommend Darien Pilates."

"Claudia and her team at Darien Pilates are exceptional! I have been going regularly (2-3 times a week) for the past four years. Through their technically rigorous instruction, my core has strengthened, my posture has improved vastly, and the curve in my spine has improved as well. I have scoliosis (55 degree curve when I started and now the curve has improved to 51 degrees). My doctors were so pleased and told me if I keep this up I will not need back surgery. I can’t recommend them highly enough. It is rare to find an establishment run by such kind, attentive, knowledgeable, and technically strong people."

"The Darien Pilates studio is clean, professional and welcoming. I have been taking private lessons with Joanne for a couple of years now and she’s incredible at what she does, warm (makes you feel so comfortable!), adaptive, effective and so knowledgeable about the body. I appreciate that she really cares about her clients’ goals as well as their well-being, and always adjusts accordingly. Highly recommend both this studio and Joanne."
