History

Established in 2009.

DEFINE was developed Henry Richardson in 2009. After a successful career as an All-​American and National Team Member for Springboard and Platform Diving, Henry joined Teach For America. As a teacher, Henry was surprised that his old injuries from diving were still causing discomfort. He then began taking Pilates/​Yoga/​Ballet hybrid classes and six months later, taught his first class, and within one year, was opening studios across the country. Henry moved to Houston to begin his MBA at Rice University and focused on introducing transforming exercise classes to those looking to to be at their best.
