Define is such a fun boutique fitness studio. They offer three formats: cycling, barre, and trampoline (or bounce) I have taken cycling and barre and loved both! I they have incredibly supportive instructors, and stunning studios. Parking can be limited, so make sure you arrive early! read more

DEFINE Oakley - Barre Classes Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

My favorite boutique fitness studio in Cincinnati! Love the class options and community.

Define is my favorite workout studio I've belonged to. They have such a great range of workouts so everyone can find something they love. I enjoy splitting up my week to get a little bit of strength, flexibility, low impact, and cardio all at this one studio. And all the people are incredibly nice. It's such a great community and I can see such a transformation in my fitness journey! read more

Amazing classes the staff is so genuine and encouraging! There is no judgement and all the workouts are SO fun! I've been to cycle (rev) and the bounce trampoline and as a beginner i didn't feel overwhelmed because the instructors take the time to walk through each move before having you start. Would highly recommend if you're looking for a positive atmosphere and great workout! read more

I have been going to Define every Saturday for 2 years now. I love going to the Bounce trampoline class. It's a total body workout that is easier on your joints than running. The instructors are all awesome and the other women that go are so much fun. I've truly enjoyed forming new friendships while working out. I've also been to Rev (cycle) and also the 30:30 (30 cycle and 30 barre/body) both were fantastic too. I highly recommend Define, you won't be disappointed. read more

If you have struggled to commit to a gym routine this is the place for you. So welcoming, fun, energetic, and a great workout that goes by so fast you won't even believe it. Bouncing on a trampoline has transformed my Saturday. In a couple of months I've exercised more than I have in years. The real difference here is the people. So genuinely invested in community it is the nicest part of my week. All ages and abilities in every class. Give it a try! I got my first class free. read more

Really love this studio! The front desk staff is so kind and always address me by name which is a nice personal touch. The teachers are great and have amazing energy. The studio is very clean and organized. My favorite classes are the rev cycling classes and the body classes. Couldn't recommend enough! read more

This is the best spin & barre studio in Cincinnati BY FAR! When I moved from Boston I was disappointed because I couldn't find a workout studio that matched the caliber of bigger cities, then a friend recommended define, and I completely had to eat my words. Define has exceptional customer service and extraordinary instructors. My favorites are Abby D., Tallie & Mikel (co-owners). Some of the newer instructors, specifically Annie & Nick, are really great as well. My least favorite is Janelle, not because she's bad -she isn't- it's just because she over teaches for my liking...she talks every single second and it doesn't allow me to get in the zone! Almost all classes are full so I recommend going 10-15 minutes early to put your stuff away & get your choice of bike/mat. The packages are pricey, but trust me, this place is addicting and SO WORTH IT! For new comers definitely check out the specials on Groupon, the introductory prices are the best! read more

Best coaches in the Nati. Crunchy tunes during class. Some baller threads too. read more

Guys- you have to give this place a chance! I am so not fit, and have been out of any sort of fitness routine for awhile now. The things I know about myself is to stick to a schedule, but need some flexibility if I had a late night or early morning meeting. The other thing I know about myself is I love low impact workouts and FUN! Define is all of that and MORE! First & foremost, the staff at Define is truly incredible. Talk about the true hospitality. They go out of their way to get to know you and make you feel welcome. I was terrified to get back into a program, but every staff member has been so friendly and approached me when I came to their class for the first time. Class options to me are amazing. I love that their is a balance of both express classes (30 mins) and regular classes (45-60 mins). Every day has a balance consisting mainly of Rev and Body, what seem to be the most popular choices. I also love the additions of Mind, Meditation & Yoga. It is a nice alternative to stretch and allow some time for YOU. I don't do this nearly enough so it is nice to schedule it in. Trust me - WORTH IT. Give it a try. I have yet to do the Rev class, I haven't been able to get a day to sync up yet, plus they are usually fairly full when I am signing up. Looking forward to giving it a try - I hear they are amazing! All that being said, I signed up for a year - I am hooked. The variety, the people and the mind relaxation. What more could you need?! Thanks for welcoming me Define! I hope this review encourages others to give it a try! read more

I've never been more committed to a fitness studio than I have with Define! It's literally my home away from home. They offer barre, cycle, and yoga classes along with monthly meditation, muscle rolling, and weekly bounce (trampoline) classes. They have kid care as well so your kids can play while you work out! Every instructor is energetic and motivational and plays awesome music in each class. The studio is pretty and clean and they have lots of retail for sale. I can't say enough great things about the Define method & community - I just love it!! read more

Define's ride to the beat cycling classes are by far the best that Cincinnati offers! The instructors are locked in with the best music and keep you engaged your whole class! It is definitely the place to go in Cincy for cycle! read more

Great classes all around! The instructors and staff are friendly (and really make an effort to learn your name and greet you!) and the studio is clean and inviting. I know when I come to DEFINE I will be getting in a great workout- always challenging but always leave feeling better than when I walked in. read more

I have decided to try define after spending one year at cycle bar, to try and have a different experience. I have now completed 15 classes (mostly the spinning " revolution ") and must say that the level of quality is excellent. I know I can be a tough customer sometimes, and I am definitely demanding but the owners always make things right from customer service standpoint, which I value very much. Teachers bring great skills and energy to the class, music is always great (def. A SoulCycle vibe) and moves change all the time. The studio is very pretty and classes start on time. Clothing selection is excellent, and there are sales very often. I recommend joining define. read more

Define is such a great workout studio, the staff and instructors are so inspirational and always greet you with a smile. No one is yelling at you to go faster, unlike other cycle studios, you ride to the beat and push yourself Bc you want to! Bounce is a unique, fun and challenging way to do cardio that has you dripping sweat and smiling. read more

I tried Define after hearing great thanks for years and haven't been disappointed yet! The instructors are incredibly friendly, give good correction and direction and the workouts are very (appropriately) challenging. I've had bulging discs and they push me to work hard but moves are safe and low impact. Lots of great formats and options for classes of all types. Can't recommend enough! read more

Fellow Yelper Amy D let me know about the Groupon for one month unlimited Body and Rev classes, so I signed up. The one thing that impressed me the most was how friendly all the staff was how they made an effort to know my name and get me checked in as I walked in the door. That personalized attention isn't found everywhere but I really appreciated. The studio space is calm and open, they offer two single-room restrooms (but no shower), and cubbies (not lockers) for storing items during class. With it being winter, I found myself growing annoyed with those students who came out of class, got their personal belongings and then stood in that area conversing with friends or checking their phones. MOVE! It happened every class and after the 6am weekday classes, we all have a limited amount of time to get ready and to work. The Rev classes are cycling and even the 6am class was nearly full every time I went. The room offers low light and only mirrors on one wall. You must wear shoes with clips if you don't have them you can rent them for $3. Define has their own way of doing cycling that was a little different than other places, they use a ball on the handlebars and it was a test to my coordination, so it took me until the second and third class to feel comfortable with the moves. They offer small hand weights for an arm workou. The Body class is a ballet barre class working all those tiny accessory muscles. The room is brightly lit, one wall is a frosted street-window and two others have mirrors which is good for checking your poses and distracting for seeing that others are doing or what I'm not doing. This class was a complete challenge and near torture for me because I have tight hip flexors and a limited range of motion with my left leg, so I only attended a class a week. Probably if I gave this class more attention I would been helping myself, but like I said the mirrors let me see what others were doing and what I couldn't do and it just distracted me. It's me, not you Define Body! If you're looking for an enjoyable but challenging workout, visit Define. read more

I want to update my review to reflect my most recent visits. I still think the place is great but do want to point out a lot of the classes are called X-Press classes and are 30 minutes. I get this is so people can do the body and rev classes back to back but for someone like me only interested in spin it's not ideal. Body and mind classes were good. Both were more challenging for me mentally than physically, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, just different than I am used to. They are not intense sweats and for Me, that's important when drop in rates are 20 dollars. I liked the different type of workout it provided but I'll spend my money on the rev because that's the golden ticket of this business. read more

Define Oakley rocks!! The Spin class, aka "Revolution" class is butt-kicking in the best way ;) I'm disgustingly sweaty afterwards but feel amazing! I've taken 3 Revolution classes with 3 different instructors (Janelle, Mikel, and Abby) and they are all great. The studio is adorable and very boutique-like which I love. Everyone is ridiculously nice here too. I have also done their Barre class, aka"Body" class which was good as well but I'm still loyal to my Pure Barre :) The Revolution classes will keep me comin back! Best work-out ever! read more

update: I added info on the Revolution and Mind classes I love trying new fitness classes and you will definitely find a good workout here. Define Body & Mind is brand new to Cincinnati (but seems to be a mainstay in Houston, TX). The studio itself is beautiful. The color scheme is soothing and there are candles which make the whole studio smell really nice. There are two restrooms (one for men and one for women). I used the women's restroom and it was clean and had a nice candle. The staff here are super friendly- and genuinely so. I talked with Mikel before arriving at the studio and took a class from Janelle. I took the Define Body class which is a full body, barre style class- whew it was challenging. Janelle coached us through an hour of arm, thigh, booty, and core work which made me shake like leaves on a tree on a windy day. Janelle took the time to learn our names and to personally encourage us and to correct our positions. Her coaching, loud music with a great beat and lots of breathing got me through this class. If you take this class and are worried you're going to struggle just come stand next to me we can get through it together. Overall, the experience here was great. I need to put a lot of work in to get better at this but it seems like a great place to get stronger- and it is low impact, which my joints love. Today (the day after the workout) I am lightly sore from shoulders to the tips of my thighs (my muscles are changing but I can walk around like usual). I took a Define Revolution class with Tallie. I know spinning is a great low impact way to burn calories but I have honestly always found it to be a bit boring- this is not the case at Define. Define Revolution classes have great music pumped loud and the instructors teach to the beat. If Zumba and Spinning had a love child I think this would be it. Define Revolution classes incorporate some strength training via push ups on the bike, standing isolations, work with weights for the arms, and core work all over the place. Tallie was super motivating and made the class fun. The music was loud and the lights were dimmed (especially during sprints)- which I appreciate because I can then I can sweat, push myself, and breathe heavily without being super self conscious. The group of people taking this class was pretty awesome too. Often when I have been in a class where the instructor inquired on how everyone was doing, there was no response- not the case here. Students were vocal in the class I took and even encouraged one another. Don't be afraid of the spin shoes- the instructor or a fellow student will make sure you can clip into the bike. I think this is my favorite class at Define. I took a Define Mind class with Lauren. Define Mind uses an inflated ball to assist in releasing tense muscles. There is still some work in this class and some of the releases are a bit painful (similar to what you might feel in a massage) but the feeling in my muscles at the end was definitely worth it. Lauren gave great instructions and corrections. Like the other instructors she was super friendly. Again, there was great music in this class. The music was relaxing but not cheesy. I am really glad they offer as a complement to their other classes because my muscles definitely needed (and will need) it. There is also a Define Body and Mind which I imagine combines pieces of each individual component. One downside is that there are no showers, but they had to skip the showers to put a childcare room in- I can appreciate it- mommas should be able to come in for a workout too. By the way FIRST CLASS is FREE - for now at least- call the studio for more details. read more

I can't say how thankful I am for Define. It includes total body workouts and an UNBEATABLE community. The studio offers variety and options, but maintains the feel of a close community. Now in the quarantine times, we are lucky enough to have online classes to stream, so it's easy to stay connected and in shape. Give it a try! read more

Recently moved to Cincinnati and was apprehensive about finding a studio that had everything I loved. I've been here for about a month and have been to DEFINE at least 15 times. It's my happy place. The instructors are incredibly welcoming, no one is judgmental, and the classes are so fun you'll forget you're working out until you're sore immediately after. If you're looking for cardio, strength, and yoga, DEFINE has it all and does it all extremely well. read more

Amazing studio space with strong, dedicated, and talented instructors. Love their vibe!

Please take a minute to read my experience at Define as I hope it will encourage future patrons and inspire other business owners. Two months ago, Define did a trial revolution class for my coworkers and I. Upon finishing the class, a few of us (including myself), purchased one month unlimited packages that we paid for upfront. About a week later, I suddenly landed in the hospital with some bizarre bacteria from the Ohio River. I'm a healthy individual who rarely gets sick so I was shocked to learn that I would be on medication and completely "out of it" for several weeks. After an awful, few weeks, I started feeling back to normal. I called my gym, my personal trainer, and Define and explained my situation to see if they could add a month or refund me someway somehow since I hadn't been there in over one month. The gym said no and my trainer said no (and she never even called or emailed after I missed several personal training sessions). Feeling defeated, I emailed Define and received a phone call minutes after. McKerrel (I think I just botched her name), called and asked how I was feeling and expressed concern. She said not to worry about the package and to just focus on getting better (like other nice, human beings usually respond). She worked with me to get me back in class and back into my package. It is because of caring people like McKerrel that I hope to remain a loyal Define customer. Please share my story with others. I know I will. Thank you Define. read more

I love define!!!!!!! I come and do Revolution (cycling) with my sister when I visit Cincinnati, and I only have one thing to say... Open more throughout Ohio! No one can make working out as fun as you guys.. What an awesome workout. Hands-down best cycling class I've been to. read more

LOVE this place!! Great workout and even better people! I would highly recommend!!!

I could not say enough great things about Define. I have been going for a few years now and I absolutely love it. They are constantly adding or mixing up their classes to keep things interesting and fun. The entire staff is extremely friendly and the instructors are motivating. It is so great to see a company with two owners who are so clearly invested and passionate. They know almost all guests names and make a point to make every visit special. Between the challenging workouts and friendly environment it really is worth every penny! read more

I was very impressed with Define Body & Mind! I received a free class and tried out the "body" class, which is a toning class and WOW did I feel it! The instructor (Keri) was great at her job. There were only two of us in this particular class, so she made us feel welcome and got personal with what we had to do to keep up. The space is great, the people are great, and I'm sure that their other classes are great as well! If you are looking for a good workout studio in Cincinnati, look no further! read more

We came here from out of town and were delighted to find Define! This is a fantastic spin studio! They accommodated my 12 year old daughter (who loves spin) and made sure she was settled, happy, and safe on her bike. So great! We'll be back!! read more

I absolutely love love love Define. After my first spin class here I have become addicted! I look forward to every class knowing I'm going to have an amazing workout. read more

Define is just so wonderful! I've never looked forward to working out like I do with classs at Define. The staff is kind, welcoming and they truly care about their clients. read more

Best spin classes in Cincinnati and the nicest most welcoming instructors you could imagine! If you're trying to get in cardio shape fast, definitely try the rev classes and supplement with their body classes to tone/tighten. Such an awesome studio! read more

I had always found spin classes kind of meh and preferred running to cycling. After my husband/running buddy got injured, though, I needed a new cardio option that was challenging, fun, and, super important to me right now, had childcare. When I saw Define had kid care, I thought I'd give the revolution spinning class it a go. And it was great: the classes are engaging, HARD, and a really good time. What's more, the staff at Define could not be more welcoming or kind. Those 45 minutes on the bike have quickly become something I look forward to every week. read more
