Rive was the hidden gem in my search for a pilates studio. Having taught/practiced mat pilates for over 20 years and recently moving to Des Moines, I was searching for my new pilates “home”. Daniele has created a studio like no other with an intimate class setting in a beautifully restored building.

Love Rive community events. They are the most elevated experiences and Daniele’s perky pace is legit the best. I always feel amazing after.

I can’t recommend this studio enough! Daniele is an incredible instructor who brings good energy to every session. What really sets her apart is how she provides individual adjustments for everyone in the class. If you're looking for a challenging yet supportive workout, this is the place to be.

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.

Absolutely amazing! I've never tried reformer pilates before and Daniele was so welcoming and made it so much less intimidating for me. The space is absolutely gorgeous. There are only 3 reformers, so the classes are intimate and made it way easier to get hands-on instruction

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…

Rive Pilates is exactly what downtown DSM needed - a safe space with tranquility and thoughtfulness in every inch. Daniele has truly taken the time to master her skill set and help teach it to others through body movement. The prices are extremely reasonable for an exercise that is quickly gaining popularity in major cities. I always leave her classes feeling more strong and pu…
