Claudia's journey with Pilates started over 18 years ago when she spent a weekend immersed in learning the Pilates mat work. Everything about it clicked for her in those two days she spent working out. Health and fitness had always been an important part of her life. She took many years of dance and practiced yoga for years as well, but Pilates resonated with her more than any other method of exercise.
Inspired by Joseph Pilates and his teaching method, our instructors are rigorously trained and certified to work with clients at all levels. We are a Classical, boutique studio dedicated to helping people at any stage in their lives, prevent injury and continue their active + athletic lifestyle, giving them the freedom to feel more empowered and be more in control of their bodies.
Classical Pilates refers to the authentic method created by Joseph Pilates more than 100 years ago. He developed over 500 exercises using six principles: centering, concentration, control, precision, breath and flow, resulting in a complete exercise system that focuses on strengthening the core postural muscles - the abdominals, gluteals and the back.

The instructors are very professional. I always have confidence that their knowledge of Pilates is deep and they believe in it. But what sets them apart is their sincere wish to see you succeed and improve. It's an individual focus on each participant. My Pilates experience is

I have participated in mat classes at Darien Pilates for many years. Claudia and her staff are all exceptionally professional and knowledgeable. They challenge participants while at the same time tailoring the class to each individual's ability and limitations; always very careful to teach participants the safe technique for his/her particular strengths and weaknesses. The studio is beautiful, well-equipped and easy to access from I95 and to park. I highly recommend Darien Pilates!

Recently, took a mat class at Darien Pilates. The modern studio was clean and had a calming vibe. I was offered a bottled water and a towel upon arrival. The class started on time and there were five participants, which allowed ample space for all. The other athletes were pleasant and friendly. The instructor was knowledgeable and approachable. She challenged me as she modeled different modifications for each exercise. The exercises were designed to stabilize and strengthen my core, while increasing flexibility. The hour-long, small group class moved along fluidly and the instructor was positive

The trainers at Darien Pilates are fabulous. I have been doing pilates for over ten years. I started with mat classes and gradually started to prefer individual training. I am only in the area for part of the year, so I train in two other places for the rest of the year. Over the past six or seven years, I have worked with several different trainers: three or four in this area, two in California and three on Nantucket. While I've enjoyed them all, Claudia, Joanne and Dana are superior to any of the others. They pay attention to the most minute adjustments and movements and make certain I am using
