Get Results Pilates. LA is filled with pilates studios. How refreshing it was to find the REAL DEAL -- a pilates teacher who is an expert, and who delivers you real results. Darien Gold is a no-nonsense instructor who really cares. She tailors each session to each individual or group, and knows how to set realistic and achievable goals. Trust me on this -- if you're serious, she will get you incredible results. Where else could you find a certified expert in Pilates, with additional knowledge from years in gymnastics and dance? Darien will take you beyond what you would ever expect from your body, and do it safely. She modifies every session to your energy level, and works around any aches and pains you may have. Also, she varies her exercises and her target areas, so you're not just repeating yourself in every class. Darien watches you like a hawk, so you know you're getting the maximum results from each exercise without overdoing it. If you want a warm and fuzzy experience, or like hiding in a large group, go elsewhere. But if you're a guy (like me) or a gal looking for results, this is THE place to achieve your goals (and beyond) in a private atmosphere with a caring expert.

Most Amazing Pilates Training Ever. I worked with Darien for years and she helped me make huge changes with my body. I walked taller, had fewer aches and pains and I was in the best shape (in all ways) of my adult life. Now that I have had a child I am going back to her to whip me back into shape...I know that the Studio Darien way is the best way for me to get my abs/core and back back.

A gifted pilates teacher. The best pilates classes I have ever had. Darien Gold is a comitted teacher

who is rigorous and focused. From her years of experience working with the body,

you get her no nonsense undivided attention devoted to you and your specific needs.

She is a gifted teacher.

If you would prefer a chatty session go somewhere else Darien is there

to get you working and help you reach your personal best.

Bring your focus with you and I promise you will not be disappointed. I have been

working out with her for several years now and I am delighted with the results.

The aches and pains that had prompted me to sign up for classes in the first place

have all disappeared and my posture has improved 100 per cent. I am very happy.

Excellent instructor, very aware of each student's level and needs. I find it amazing that in a two or three person class, Darien is able to focus on your specfic need and challenge you. The constant adjustments she has you make assure that you get the most benefit from each session.

Absolutely THE BEST!. Darien is the best pilates instructor out there! No lesson is ever the same, which keeps it fun and challenging. Her attention to the details of your body is amazing! She can pin point exactly what needs to be changed in your body movement to get the maximum workout possible for your core. She is always pushing you to do your absolute best and nothing less! I can honestly say that the best workouts I've ever had are ALL with Darien! Whoever said Pilates doesn't make you sweat??!! GO TO DARIEN!

One of the best pilates teachers on the planet. "Darien is likely one of the best pilates teachers on the planet. Darien combines her dance and gymnastics background with her high level of Pilates expertise and strong intuition to uniquely tailor an individual's

program to meet their specific body's needs. Every class (whether individual or group) builds on the class before and is never routinized. She is a demanding teacher who expects that you will share her goal of achieving your body's best. I can't recommend her strongly enough."

Best Pilates Trainer in Los Angeles. As a pilates practioner, I have practiced and worked with trainers all over the world, in the United States, Europe, and China. Darien is by far the most careful, effective, and inspiring trainer. She maintains an amazing ability to push her clients/students beyond what they perceive is their physical threshold. In other words, she always succeeds in getting you to do more than you think you can. Her meticulous attention to the body and the physiological details of the body is unbounded. Moreover, Darien brings this awareness to everyone she works with. Once you enter her studio, you will revise the way in which you understand your body and its movement capacity. Her sessions are awesome and your body will definitely change, for the better, as a consequence.

Favorite work out in LA. Darien of Studio Darien understands Pilates and the human body on a very deep level. She has amazing attention to detail and makes you work inside out. When I work out with her, it feels like i'm meditating and I feel my entire body working and pumping. She's tough, yet graceful. Creative and energetic. I can't imagine a better way to get in shape, on the inside and out, than taking classes with Darien Gold.
