Defuse is the place to be!! I had never done reformer before defuse and after one class I fell in love. All of the instructors are so knowledgeable, supportive and very welcoming. So happy to have found this place close to home and I would highly recommend defuse.

I love everything about Defuse. The classes are great especially the Reformer classes. I have done a class with most of the instructors and they are all knowledgeable and work with you and your level of experience. So great to have this kind of gym in Penrith!

Absolutely love this place !! The environment, instructors and people are all so welcoming. I've tried different gyms and classes before but never felt like it was my thing, until I went to Defuse. If you are on the fence just go !! I promise you won't be disappointed. I look forward to every class and Soundbath is my favourite time of the week to unwind and reset.

Erin has done an amazing job creating this beautiful studio!!
The facilities are clean and it is such an uplifting space. The reformer classes are challenging and I thoroughly enjoy them. I really look forward to coming to reformer classes during my working week. All of the trainers are lovely and each provide different classes which mixes things up. Thanks Erin!!

Defuse is the reformer studio Penrith has been waiting for. I’m so glad I joined!

I signed up for short-term membership as I’ve had a break from training and am a beginner with reformer but can definitely see myself sticking around. The classes are fun, challenging and also the perfect size to ensure that every member is comfortable and still receiving some individualised coaching. All of the instructors are honestly so friendly, supportive and knowledgeable.

It’s great to have such a beautiful space so close to home. The facilities are amazing and class scheduling is easy. Looking forward to continuing my training at Defuse! 🤍🤍

Defuse is quite easily one of the best pilates studio I've ever to. I've been taking reformer pilates classes for years across CBD, the inner west, and the eastern suburbs, and after practicing at Defuse I can confidently say that the classes offered at this studio are among -- if not the best -- in all of greater Sydney. What sets Defuse apart is not only the the calibre of the instructors, but also the 'community feel' the owner Erin has cultivated for the clients. The classes are designed such that they're accessible and appropriately challenging for all levels of students, and the instructors themselves are excellent with their attention to form and hands-on corrections in a way that promotes learning and confidence (i.e., you won't feel self-conscious if you're new to practicing). In this vein, the instructors -- specifically, Erin and Ivana (with whom I've taken the most classes) -- also take great care to both learn your name and understand 'what's going on in your body' that particular week. This may seem a bit inconsequential, but if you're someone like me who not only greatly appreciates the engagement from an instructor and also enjoys the 'community'/personal 'feel' of a group fitness environment, you'll find these characteristics of Defuse to be truly exceptional. The studio also offers yoga and barre classes which I have not yet tried, but I anticipate are of the same calibre.

Whether you experienced in taking reformer and mat pilates classes, local to or passing through the area, or on the fence about trying reformer pilates, I couldn't recommend trying Defuse more highly; I promise you, after taking even one class, you WILL want to return!

Love Defuse!! Erin and her team of instructors are absolutely awesome. Shoutout to Ivana, Becky and Karen whose classes I attend regularly. Great personalities and they are all down to earth and full of knowledge. Each class brings with it something new and I can see the difference in my core strength and flexibility. The atmosphere is also amazing - simple, yet very stylish and classy. All of this makes attending 5am classes easier! I have been to other venues for Pilates Reformer and Defuse exceeds them by far.

I LOVE this studio! I started at Defuse 3 weeks ago and I haven’t looked backed. For the first time, in a long time, I am enjoying exercising. The team at Defuse are welcoming and extremely friendly. The instructors are always happy to push you that little bit further and offer any assistance when asked. Defuse offer a variety of classes, from yoga, Pilates, reformer and HIIT. All the classes I have tried I’ve really enjoyed and I can start to feel my body change. If you’re thinking on joining, just do it, you won’t regret it.
