DEFINE body & mind

Define is one of my favorite studios in Austin. I started doing class pass a few months ago, and I always find myself back at define because I enjoy it so much! I typically do their revolution classes, which is a cycling class but includes some elements you would find in a barre class (such as the squishy ball you do push ups against). I’m not super picky about cycling classes, however this one went much faster than those at other studios such as cyc.
The studio is beautiful, it’s in a little house and has been restored with modern updates and unique decorations. I also really like the amenities here, they have a cold water filling station, lockers (they don’t lock however), fresh towels, and cycling shoe rental. I highly recommend trying out define if you’re looking for a fun and effective workout!

DEFINE is one of my favorite barre studios in Austin. Their barre workouts will KICK YOUR BUTT and they are a great full body workout. I have had three different instructors at DEFINE and they have all been equally awesome, which I can’t say for every studio. The moves they incorporate really target every muscle in your body, which is exactly what I want when I go into a barre workout. It does get pretty crowded though, so I would sign-​up in advance just in case. The barre room could also be a little bigger, but honestly it hasn’t been a problem. It’s still a beautiful studio!
I have also been to a cycling class, and those are great too. But I still like their barre classes more.

I have tried both the barre (define body) and spin (define revolution) class! I love the layout of the studio – small and has relaxing colors! I went on a Sunday afternoon and there were only 6 people in the class. Heads up – I got there about 15 mins early but the door was locked since the instructor was teaching the class and she’s also the person who checks people in.
The instructor was great about providing modifications and the barre class was doable. Still challenging but not going to kill you! :) I will definitely be back!
The spin class is not as intense as Ride but it’s still challenging. The instructor had great energy given it was a Sunday morning class :)

I took my first class here yesterday and really enjoyed it. I came in thinking define would be the most challenging barre class I’ve been to, it was challenging but not too challenging.
It was a good mix.
I like that the classes are small. I knocked off a star because I went in on Class Pass, but I don’t know if I’d pay full price for this work out. This is probably my second favorite barre class, with mod being number one. I loved this class, but felt like the teacher could been a little more attentive to the clients in the class.
I also enjoyed the music but felt like it was a little loud over the teacher and couldn’t hear her instructions.
But as far as the fitness of the class goes, I actually really did like it. I felt like I was actually getting a work out out of it! Which is what we all want out of an exercise class, right? The studio is beautiful. It was nostalgic for me as my mom used to shop there all the time when I was a kid when it was Gardens.
But they did a great job with the remodel, it’s bright and airy– great for a studio! Limited parking found parking on the street a bit easier to get in and out of. Good amenities, lockers and shower and filtered water.
I’m great-​full Class Pass has allowed me to try so many amazing studios such as this one, as Define is a class I really did enjoy and probably wouldn’t go on my own. Can’t wait to go back!

I have tried many spin classes in Austin because I joined class pass. I can definitely say that this studio is by far the best. I have gone to both cycle and barre classes at Define and they both are great. I especially enjoyed Hannah’s spin class. The studio is clean, friendly, and very inviting.

I found out about DEFINE through ClassPass, and instantly fell in the love with the modern studio that manages to be as cozy as it is immaculate. I’ve taken both their barre classes as well as the hammock class and their adorable cycling studio has me excited to try spin there as well. The instructors are fantastic, the classes are a good workout but would be great for a beginner as well — they are good about giving specific instructions and demonstrating as they teach.

The Define study is nestled right off of Mopac on 35^th St. The staff are very pleasant and motivating. The studio is very clean and cozy. This is my first cycle class in over a year and I loved it. The music was a great variety and the instructor was upbeat. I really enjoyed the class and will definitely be back for more classes.

I love this place. Their barre classes never fail to make my thighs/​legs shake. We know that is a great thing! The instructors are super nice and very motivating. And help correct your form in a non-​intrusive way.
The space is adorable. The interior is clean, bright and modern. Has a calming feel with its aqua/​blue color palette. They have a shower and cold water machine. Super excited for the snack/​smoothie cart that should be opening soon. At first, the location is kinda easy to miss driving down 35^th though.

Define is the best barre class in Austin hands down. It is the perfect hybrid of Bar Method, where form is number one, and Mod, where cardio is incorporated more. I’ve been doing barre classes for years now. I was a rabid Bar Method member, but also tried Pure Barre, Dancer’s Shape, and Mod. Define has the best barre class in Austin in my opinion. Since I did Bar Method for years I got a little burned out and started looking around for something else to shake me out of my exercise funk and Define was the perfect solution. If you have ever taken classes at Bar Method, it’s the equivalent of a level two class ALL THE TIME. It will kick your butt. Every class I have sweat dripping down my face/​chest/​back and my thighs want to kill me.
Define has the amenities you look for in a studio as well: lockers, cold water machine, towels, juice/​water for sale, clothes/​socks, and they do have one shower if you need it. The studio gets great light and they are opening up a juice/​smoothie/​snack bar in the back at some point which is genius. The equipment is mostly already set up for you every class which is nice because people aren’t scrambling in last minute trying to find a spot to lay down a mat etc.
The owners and staff are super friendly and highly motivating. Their energy in class is absolutely infectious. Cannot say enough good things about this studio. Hoping they add noon classes during week and later Saturday morning classes. I loathe working out super early on the weekend, which to me super early is before 11 am. LOVE that they offer late afternoon Sunday classes.

I’m beyond impressed with Define! The girls at the front desk could not be nicer. The facility is modern, clean and comfortable. The instructors are awesome! I always leave feeling better than when I came in!

I’ve been going regularly to the Mind class with the hammocks and inversions on Wednesday mornings & it truly is the fitness highlight of my week. It is SO much fun and I always leave class feeling several inches taller. Considering that I top out at five feet four, I’ll take all the extra inches I can get…
The studio is a gorgeous space, across the way from Viva Day Spa on 35^th. My recommendation is to come West from Lamar (or wherever) bc it can be easy to miss coming East from Mopac. Like most barre studios you are supposed to wear socks in class and they sell really cute grippy ones that say «Texas» on the bottom and «Hookem» on the front of the toe box.
I’m such a fan that I drive way out of my way from East Austin to go to class here!

It’s a bit hard to find as it sneaks up on you pretty quickly as you are driving down 35^th, but once you finally find it, it’s a totally cute, clean and hip studio in the mold of mod fitness and soul cycle. Rev classes are their take on soul cycle (rhythm based spinning with intervals of weights) and body classes are your typical barre class. Note: I wanted to give this place a 3.5 but Unilocal won’t allow me to do so.
A huge rhythmic spinning devotee, I have to say that their spin classes aren’t up to par yet with RIDE or Cyc (yet), but there’s a lot of potential. This could easily change as teachers find their stride, their voices and increase their fitness levels. I’d give their spin classes a ⁷⁄₁₀ — i definitely got a good workout and worked a good sweat but the difficulty isn’t really near RIDE or CYC instructors.
The define class was pretty good, once again, not totally at par with MOD, but definitely a class that I would come back to.
Looking forward to seeing this place find its groove and will certainly be back on classpass to do so.

I was excited to try my first class and bought a package online, but only to be disappointed by poor customer service. Their parking lot was full and to find somewhere else to park meant going into a neighborhood. I finally found a curb without a no parking sign and sprinted 4 blocks to make the class. They had just shut the door and all I got from the front desk was an, «I’m sorry, I think it is full.» There was no attempt to check if the class was full and I could have made the class if the parking lot was larger and I didn’t have to drive around for 10 minutes. Customer service is about making sure the customer has the best experience possible, especially when it comes to first impressions. My first impression is that I’m not coming back.

I just attended my first spin class at Define today and had an awesome experience! I’m pretty picky when it comes to spin classes (I’m a huge fan of CYC, Ride & Soul Cycle) & this class definitely challenged me! It’s another rhythm based class & the music was intense. Also, the instructor combined a lot of ab, arms and intense leg work. Great cardio too!
The studio itself is brand new and everyone was so welcoming! I am looking forward to trying their other classes!

I have been to three of the Houston studios and enjoyed taking both their Body and Revolution classes. I was excited when I heard via Unilocal that they were opening a studio in Austin and offering free preview classes this weekend.
The studio is situated in a cute white house off of 35^th street. The space is bright and beautiful with white and crisp blue décor. They have complimentary lockers to store your personal items while in class. If you don’t have spin shoes you can rent them on site. The team was quick to get us all signed up and gave attendees a quick tour.
I took the Revolution (spin) class yesterday with Erin who is one of the founders. She has crazy amazing energy that kept me going through class. Bring a bottle of water, grab a towel, hand weights, find a bike and prepare to sweat! The 45 minute class was a full body workout with a brief session of upper body and core work.
I have taken Body (barre) classes in Houston and also found them to be excellent. They now offer a Define Mind class which incorporates a hammock for things like inversions. The class aims to improve flexibility and lengthen the spine.
«I do wish they had showers and offered weekday lunchtime classes.» — quick update. I just found out this location does have showers and will eventually expand to having lunchtime classes offered in shorter formats, yay!
I enjoyed the class enough to purchase an intro month of Revolution classes and I look forward to sweating with them again soon!
