Defining You is a great find in St.Paul. Their Pilates reformer classes were easy to follow and emphasized form, and the mat Pilates was a lovely combination of stretch and strength. The jump board classes definitely got my heart rate up and the chair Pilates class was challenging. The teachers are clear with well-planned classes and they pay attention, offering advice on how to improve. Finally the space is full of light and is pretty - with a coffee shop downstairs it became my favorite new routine in St. Paul.

Defining You is such a gem! The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable, encouraging, and attentive to form and alignment. Whether you're new to movement or experienced, the environment feels welcoming, supportive, and empowering. As a local pelvic floor physical therapist, I deeply appreciate the emphasis on whole-body wellness. Highly recommend for anyone looking to move with strength, intention, and confidence!

Whether your goal is to stay active, get in shape, or achieve a specific objective, you can find your answers at DYF!

I am so thankful that I found DYF a few years ago. I took a long break during and after the pandemic. I wanted to feel comfortable attending classes again, so I signed up for personal training. It's one of the best decisions I've made. I look forward to my time with Ann each week. She is knowledgeable, funny, kind, and pushes me when I need it and helps me feel ok about needing to take a break when I need to. She also shares great recipes with me, just an added bonus! I can't wait for the school year to wrap up so I can attend barre and spin classes more regularly.

The instructors are great and really know their stuff. Office staff is very responsive to any minor problems. Private sessions in the studio are very helpful. It's important to have some personal supervision since I usually just do the zoom classes. Beautiful studio and location, very clean, coffee bar in the building lobby and next door to a brewery. My trainer's insights about what my body needs are very helpful.

I don’t have enough words to properly express my gratitude for all that DYF has brought into my life. I have grown mentally, physically and found an inner calm. I appreciated how Suzy and the DYF crew transitioned the studio over to Zoom and outdoor classes during the COVID shut down, their forward thinking allowed me to stay on track with my fitness goals and be able continue to feel the spirit of the DYF community. I always look forward to my DYF In-Studio, Zoom or Outdoor Happy Hour’s. DYF provides the essential services I need to thrive.

Amazing place to get in shape, share stories and have fun. Good for all ages. My 87 year old Mum started the online Senior Pilates and strength. She now stands straight and has lost her limp. What a transformation. And she loves the classes. Thanks Molly!

This is the most AMAZING place! All the instructors are phenomenal and they know so much about the body. They don't just rush through the exercises either...they pay attention to the small details to help give you just the right workout for your needs. What I love most, however, is the friendly, fun environment and community that you become a part of. The teachers try to make it fun, and they even remember your birthday with bath salts and chocolate. Thanks Defining You for changing my life!

Katy is a great leader. She emails the workout ahead of time so we can prepare and follow along easier in the Zoom, customizes playlists and does a good job of welcoming and coaching us all, even via Zoom. She is great !

DYF is the best studio/gym/club experience I’ve ever had, 30 years and counting. I loved coming to the studio, always felt welcomed, heard and safe, look forward to coming back. You’ve done an amazing and admirable job, so much effort to keep members connected, motivated, helping us to stick to our fitness goals during these last months. Remote classes appeared out of thin air, technical difficulties handled within minutes, no one could have expected how quickly you reacted, and how vital it was to my mental and physical health to β€˜see’ you. Yes, Netflix got me thru, but DYF kept me sane.

Your instructors are amazing. The gym is super low key. I felt safe-there were only 5 people in the entire gym when I was there and the instructor wore a mask the whole time. The huge air filter machine is also great. From my perspective, DY is the best Pilates for the best price, anywhere! Thank you for providing such a wonderful service.

An incredible community and fitness studio. After each class I leave feeling energized and better about my day. The instructors are thoughtful in how they teach and care about you as a person. They want to make sure you are getting the most out of your workout in the safest way possible. I fell in love with the Pilates classes that I decided to pursue teacher training and haven’t regretted a moment of it. They are with you every step of the way. I would encourage anyone to pop in and get a tour or a try a class at this welcoming studio.

I have been going to Defining You Pilates and Fitness for many years now and I absolutely LOVE it! I wouldn't go anywhere else! Not only are the classes varied and plentiful and the location easy with plenty of parking but the instructors who work there are all kind, compassionate, caring and knowledgeable. In addition to a physical workout, the ambiance created at this studio is one of warmth and inclusion which has me leaving each session full of optimism and a sense of belonging. It is indeed a place to exercise both mind and body!

Run, don't walk to this amazing studio. The instructors are incredibly welcoming, intentional and give great modifications of those of us with body issues (wonky back or weird wrists). Every class is different, which leaves me thirsty for me. The greatest thing about the studio and instructors is that they have helped me get more connected with my ability and strength, which is such a great gift to have. Thanks for being awesome!

At Defining You, it's all about connection. Connection within your body as you strengthen and grow in flexibility. Connection with the trainers and instructors. And community connection--meeting fellow health conscious people through classes and events. It's a special place offering unique, highly skilled instruction. Working with Suzy is like working with a physical therapist--her knowledge of body mechanics is so extensive and her application of "the right" technique, form and exercise always spot on. Grateful for this place.
