I’ve taken 2 classes at this studio and have enjoyed both classes. Camryn and Unique were amazing! Both instructors are very helpful! I love the music and atmosphere! Parking wasn’t an issue when I attended the classes. If you are thinking about trying this studio I highly recommend! Bring your water bottle and be prepared for a good session!

UPDATE:
AFTER MY REVIEW THE OWNER REACHED OUT TO CONFRONT ME! Professionalism is non-existent
I drove from the other side of town called to let them know I was in traffic I would be late. Got to the door at 7:06 and was turned around. They reached out sending me the cancellation policy after I was denied access. The policy should’ve been sent prior. I also didn’t care for the distasteful text reply. Business is business I guess.

This pilates studio has no listed late policy online or anywhere. However, you will be locked out of class despite that fact. Our instructor, Unique, was very rude and unempathetic. Mind you, there were also 4 other girls that I didn’t not know locked outside of class with me. All of which were no more than 5 min late. I would highly suggest having a late policy on your website if this is how to treat your customers. This way people will not waste their time or gas traveling here. Thank you!

Defy Pilates has a pretty aesthetic studio! The studio is visible from the street, however, there isn’t a lot of foot traffic it seems so it is not as bothersome. The instructor was great and had a lot of energy and really made her class personal for all those attending! She took time to get to know me before class and would mention me by name throughout class for motivation. The workout was great and a good balance of what I wanted to focus on. The instructor would also demonstrate poses on the reformer if it was more complex which I greatly appreciate! I will definitely be coming back again!

Defy Pilates is an amazing studio!! All the staff are very welcoming and friendly and the classes are great! They are challenging but never unbearable and there are plenty of adjustment levels based on beginner, advanced, etc. Vanessa is AMAZING!! If you get the pleasure of taking one of her classes she is so attentive, thoughtful, and challenges your body in the best way possible! Highly recommend

I took a private session because I wanted to make sure my form was good to avoid injury after being sedentary for so long. Christa is great, she has such a warm personality and made me feel welcome even though I was feel super self conscious at first. The best part is the studio mascot, Olive. 😍
Update: it's been almost a year now and I'm still loving Defy. I ended up taking about a month's worth of privates before having the confidence to do group classes. I'm fortunate enough to have had that experience before time slots filled up with group classes. I have gotten to know almost all of the instructors and they are all fantastic. They are all very warm and helpful. Most importantly, they never make you feel awkward or embarrassed when you don't quite get the form or in my case don't know my left from my right. They make a point to either give alternatives so that you can either make things harder or easier.
Heads up: if you're using Class Pass make sure your spot is confirmed because I've heard that the app has glitches but that's on CP not Defy.
P.s. Olive is still the real reason I go

Update: so since I’ve read all your reviews and saw your previous replies to people I assumed you would come with this attitude. My name is Jakiya, had a 6am class last week, signed up for your two week promo and after one class realized I would never be back! No one has to get on here and lie, my review was my truth.
Also…For a business owner that knows all of these comments are public your responses are extremely weird which is probably why the vibes are so bad in that place. Do better 💕.
Original: I think I’ve tried just about every Pilate studio in Houston/Katy and have been wanting to give this one a try for a while. I really wanted to love it but I’m not sure if it was the instructor or just the overall cold feeling when I walked in. The vibes throughout the whole class were just different from other classes I have been to and I honestly couldn’t wait for the class to be over. I came for the 6am class and was actually a little annoyed that I woke up out of my sleep for this session.

I had two charges come up on my account while I am traveling abroad that I was confused about, I immediately called the studio & got in touch with Christa, the owner, she quickly broke down my late fees & cancellation charges that I had noticed on my account & quickly brought me up to speed.
I genuinely appreciate her patience & dedication to providing me with the clarity that I needed. I love Defy Pilates & this experience has solidified that this is the Pilate studio for me! Book that class now you won’t regret it! :)

So I’m finally getting time to do my second review. I originally posted a review before I tried this establishment. The review was based on how I saw the owner replying to other reviews which left me with a few reservations about trying this place. She quickly responded and provided her phone number to chat as well as offering a free class. I let her know the review wasn’t for a free class by any means and she was so sweet and still provided the class. I tried the class and it was amazing. Her staff was nice and the studio was in a good location. I told her the parking for me was also a plus due to me being one of those people to where if parking is non existent or a headache to find I will drive off. So the fact parking was good was also a plus. I’ve done Pilates several times consistently and when I say this class kicked my a** it was a good burn lol. I definitely plan on purchasing a membership. I have a bad habit of buying memberships and wasting classes due to my schedule but since this location is fairly close to my new place of residence when time allows I will definitely start attending more. If you haven’t tried this place…. don’t be like me and judge based on the few negative reviews. Give it a shot.

Hands down the best Pilates experience I’ve had. “Pilates” itself for beginners is intimidating but when you’re a curvier girl it’s even more intimidating however the instructor made the workout the best! I felt so comfortable using the reformer. The staff is very friendly, professional, and kind. I couldn’t recommend a better place for Pilates

Vanessa is that Gowrl! I was introduced to Defy by a College friend of mine. This has been my favorite Pilates studio that I’ve tried. It is very beginner, friendly, and accommodating. I am utilizing ClassPass, but I am ensuring to book weekly. The studio is very welcoming, and it has a positive ambience in comparison to other studios I visited!

just go somewhere else. there are a bunch of better choices. Got here at 2:31 and she told me I couldn’t come in because it was my first time at this location and needed to be 5 minutes early, but when I booked it on class pass I didn’t say anything about that. Coming from someone that does Pilates religiously this is a terrible experience and will definitely never return.

Defy Pilates has been life changing. Not only do you reap the physical benefits of Pilates while you’re there, but the energy from the instructors is unmatched. They are all so supportive and make you feel confident, it’s nearly impossible to leave there in a bad mood. Not to mention their playlists are all spicy. I adore Danna, Unique and Ashley—and look forward to taking the other instructors classes. Best 45 minutes, where my brain just completely shuts off!

I love this studio, the classes, the instructors and the clientele (minus the bogus bad review trolls). I started coming to Defy in 2019, I had never done Pilates before. Vanessa and Christa have been the most amazing instructors, Pilates has changed my body like no other workout has before and this studio feels like HOME. I love seeing the studio thrive and grow and every star on this review was EARNED!!! Keep up the amazing work!!

It’s been years since I’ve done a reformer class and some studios go too fast before I fully understand the move. The instructor here, Vanessa, managed to give me extra details and adjustments, while still focusing on the whole class. And I didn’t feel like she was pointing me out either which was nice. I sore for two days after her class!

If you’re looking for a total body workout that tones/builds muscle and increases flexibility, then this is the place to be. The instructors are full of energy and passionate about training their clients. They are all unique in their teaching methods so you are constantly challenged with new movements. This is a fun and judgment free place to workout and you WILL see results! - Bill D.

I worked in the same building for the past 3 years and everyone seemed to have a great time attending their classes. So, to satisfy my curiosity I had to attend a few of their classes. Let me tell you, the classes ARE SO FUN. Every instructor has their unique style of teaching and I can't say enough how amazing they are. As a male that only focuses on lifting weights, pilates has giving me a new different type of strength and it has helped me on my regular weight training. High recommended!

I absolutely love and adore Defy. I started my journey with Unique and she has been the best instructor anyone can ask for. She is incredibly helpful, making sure you listen to your body, help you correct your form when you are struggling, and give cute little shout outs during class when you're killing it. She is incredibly positive, motivating, and yet still manages to kill you during the workout. There is a reason why they were voted the best pilates studio via the Chron. Its because they are the absolute best.

Started my journey at Defy about 4 months ago and literally fell in love with Pilates! I had the pleasure of working with each instructor, Unique, Danna, Vanessa, Hannah, and Ashley, and all of them are amazing. Each class will help you gain confidence mentally and physically! They do a great job at focusing on certain parts of your body, and give clear instructions, so it’s easy to follow along. I have definitely seen a difference in toning up my body.

I have been going to Defy Pilates since February 2018. I have tried many other studios in the Houston area, but always come back to Defy 💛 Christa has rounded up the best instructors to provide that signature Defy workout: arms, abs, and a$$. The energy is unmatched. The attentiveness to each client is unmatched. These ladies truly go above and beyond in each class to challenge you and help you reach your goals! It comes as no surprise that they were voted Houston’s Best Pilates Studio (2023)!

Defy is the BEST pilates studio in Houston! I've been taking classes here for a little over a year now. I absolutely love their style of pilates! Defy is the reason I became obsessed with pilates, I go to their classes at least twice a week. The instructors are all amazing and will make sure to make you work! They are very friendly and always correct your form and give you alternative movements for exercises. There's also challenges that Defy hosts throughout the year that are very fun and motivating. Additionally, Defy tries to do themed classes, such as the reggaeton classes or the barbie themed classes. Overall this studio is amazing and the perfect size!

This is THE BEST STUDIO and I wish I could gatekeep it but they’re too good!! I wish I could say I have a favorite instructor but instead I have like 5. They’re all really good at giving precise instructions, giving alternative moves if you just aren’t getting it right or have an injury, and are extremely kind and uplifting. I never thought I would be doing any type of classes outside of lifting weights at the gym but because I loved it so much I’ve been here 3-5 days a week for the past year! Pilates is so much better for my body than lifting since it makes me feel strong yet stretched out instead of all scrunched up and achey from heavy weights.
I highly recommend Unique’s Trap Tuesdays, Danna’s classes, and Ashley’s athletic reformer!
I love pilates because of the results it gives me (physically and mentally), but chose this studio because of the instructors and the community. Defy is great for all people - men, women, non-binary friends, all ages, and all backgrounds whether or not it is your first time or 1000th time!

About a year ago I decided to try Pilates for the first time, and was searching for a studio I really liked and wanted to primarily stick to. I had already tried about 2-3 different studios and I finally tried Defy. I immediately fell in love. I love the energy, the pace, the music, and the encouragement I feel from not just the instructors but others attending the class. I also really, really appreciate how the instructors go over the different movements. I’ve attended some classes at different studios where I felt confused throughout the whole class because I couldn’t understand what they wanted me to do, which is extremely frustrating. I’ve never felt that way after any of the classes at Defy. I have recommended this studio to so many of my friends and persuaded a couple to attend a class with me, and they’ve all enjoyed it. I definitely plan on continuing to recommend it to anyone interested in trying Pilates or already doing Pilates but looking for a fun studio!

This establishment is harsh in its policies has terrible service. I drove over half an hour to get there (even leaving early to get there early) but then ran into a wreck on 610 that backed up traffic on the way over. The class was at 3:30pm and I got there at 3:32pm. Only two minutes late. And the instructor refused to let me in and said she already marked me as a no show and said I was still getting charged a cancellation fee. Our conversation was less than a minute. She wouldn’t even let me explain the situation just shut and locked the door in my face. I then tried to reach out the the establishment to at least wave the fee. And they were of no help, and gave back snarky passive aggressive remarks when I tried to explain my frustrations. Definitely wouldn’t recommend. Better off going to a better Pilates establishment with more professionalism and class.
And unfortunately to whoever reads this, let her response be an example of the lack of professionalism and rudeness she displays with handling her customers concerns and any other form of dissatisfaction.
When I first reached out to Christa the manager or “owner”. She had the same abrupt response and had no interest in hearing me out or helping me. Apparently the Instructor told the manager she had offered me a free class as consolation, however, that never happened. I tried to reached out to the establishment first and no one answered the phone, it was then I reached out to ClassPass for help with the matter.

*Long review! Pros/Cons listed at end*
I’ve been going to Defy for about 1.5ish months and I have come to love this little studio! I was a newbie who had not worked out in a very long time. I hate going to the gym so I wanted to try different but fun ways to workout. I found Defy Pilates just searching hashtags on ig. Their studio looked cute and fun, class descriptions seemed simple enough, and they had plenty of praises. I compared them to a few other studios but I chose this place because they had a new client offer of 5 classes/$50 which was the best bargain to try it out. I did reach out and text them just to see if their classes were suitable for newbies and they were quick to respond to all of my questions. All of the classes are suitable for any level of experience you have. You have the ability to make it easier/harder on the machine. I tried a few different classes with different instructors to see who I might like, but they’re all amazing, truly. I’ve come into a routine taking classes now from my faves: Vanessa, who really kicks your as* but makes sure you push through it, and Danna who’s super sweet and bubbly but your body will hate her the next morning lol. I also loved Unique’s classes for “Trap Tuesday” but those classes fill up QUICK AF. Unique uses upbeat music to enhance the “fun” and is probably the only one who lets us take a breather for a sec longer than the others (it’s all love though lol). All three of those instructors are great motivators and it feels really good to hear them call your name in acknowledgement during a workout when your legs are probably shaking. I can’t speak on the other instructors since I’ve never met them but I’m sure they are great also!
Some tips about the apps they use to book classes: they use MINDBODY and ClassPass. I chose CP because you can use your credits at many other places in the city and it seems “cheaper” in a way. Classes are only open 1 week out, but ever since Jan they fill up very quickly. I advise to choose a routine and stick to it by booking immediately for the next week (On Mondays, book the following Monday asap, etc). There’s also a designated amount of spots for CP users so if a spot opens up in a full class, the app may still not let you book if there’s already the max number of CP users in that class which kinda sucks but no biggie.
Pros: nicely paced classes, many times to choose from, structured, beginner-advanced capability, affordable, full body workout, suitable for men and women, parking available
Cons: None really but if I had to say some: classes fill up super quick now, classes are only 45 mins, there’s only 12 spots per class, and I do wish they would add one more stretch class!
Overall, I really love this studio and the instructors, and I look forward to going to class every week!

I am a big fan of defy pilates but today was disappointing. The power was out and the streets were blocked off with no way to get to the studio. After driving around trying to find a way in, I eventually found out from HPD that the class was canceled. I didn’t receive a notification for this via social media, ClassPass, or email. Very Unfortunate.

I discovered this place mid this year and I am forever grateful to all the instructors ( Ashley, Christa, Unique, Danna and Vanessa) here. I had surgery earlier in the year around the abdomen, so my core strength after recovery was back to zero. That, coupled with hip issues, I am always careful while exercising. My body is now doing things that shock me and the instructors keep pushing and cheering you on.
I mostly take Vanessa's classes since her classes align better with my work schedule and what can I say... I love and hate her at the same time🤣🤣. Just when I think I have all the moves mastered, she adds something else and has us stretching and sweating in a fun and safe environment. She is also her students' biggest motivator and makes sure that your form is 💯.
Thank you ladies and I can't wait to keep Defy'ng with you all.

Awesome studio with fantastic instructors. Smaller classes which allows for correction of form. I’ve gotten injured in work out classes before so I really appreciate how they help you stay safe while getting in a great work out.

My husband gave me a 6 class special as a Christmas gift and I have been hooked on Defy Pilates - Bellaire ever since the beginning of 2018. This mind/body workout is exactly what it is as it has helped me improve my concentration and I feel connected and stronger everyday. It has helped me maintain good posture while really working my core and entire body as well as helped me lose weight by increasing muscle tone. It is definitely challenging, but you see results in a matter of weeks. Now, I attend 4 classes a week and I feel amazing, the instructors are fabulous, especially, Jennifer, Vanessa, Myesha, Taylor, and of course, Christa! These ladies are lots of fun, energetic, easy going, but will still give you a good, tough workout. They make you feel like a rock star! As someone mentioned before, the energy is contagious in every class I've attended and I always look forward to my sessions.

If you want an amazing full body workout this is the place to go!! I love how sore I am immediately after and for days after taking a class because that’s when I know my muscles were really challenged. Myesha is the best!!:)
