History

Established in 2007.

In September 2007, The Dailey Method and its results driven program revolutionized working out in the Chicago area as the first Dailey Method studio to open outside of Northern California in the quaint downtown area of Naperville. Located at the historical 5^th Avenue Station building, this spacious studio offers convenient class times, spa-​like locker rooms, convenient and ample parking as wells as onsite childcare. Our experienced staff is skilled at helping clients of all fitness levels achieve their personal goals in an attentive, encouraging and friendly atmosphere.

The Naperville studio was originally opened by Colleen Patrino in partnership with The Dailey Method. In January of 2012, Michelle Waranoski, one of Naperville’s first instructors, partnered with Colleen to ensure all client needs would be met as the two expanded north with a second studio in Wheaton.

Meet the Business Owner

Colleen P. and Michelle W.

Business Owner

Colleen completed a Master Instructor certification program under the direction of Jill Dailey McIntosh and has personally experienced how profoundly this method can transform lives from the inside out. She truly believes that The Dailey Method enables people to focus inwardly during the hour-​long class, which promotes stronger body confidence that helps create a sense of peace and inner strength.

Michelle’s interest in fitness was inspired by 15+ years of ballet practice and a love of dance that followed her into adulthood. She has been a group fitness instructor since 1991 and became a student of Lotte Berk inspired exercise in 2004. Over the course of becoming a certified Pilates instructor, she gained an abundance of knowledge in both anatomy and the study of mechanics of body movements. With Michelle’s rich history in choreography and fitness instruction combined with her extensive background in anatomy and kinesiology makes her partnership with Colleen is a natural fit.
