Classic Pilates Oceanside

Instruction does not get any better! Ethan has such an attention to detail that there is no wasted movement! His energy and knowledge are impeccable! Looking forward to our next session!

I have been training with Ethan for over 2 years and he is a consistent, knowledgable and intuitive trainer. His expertise in Pilates and all other types of workouts provides challenging yet achievable results with all body types and fitness goals. Most importantly he is fun to work with! I always leave the workout feeling great and with a big smile. You cannot find a better instructor…

I would like to recommend Ethan as a trainer for both Pilates and spinning. Ethan has a unique ability to explain why we are doing what we are doing in exercise and make it fun. His classes are upbeat, but tough. If you have never taken Pilates mat classes, you’ll love it. Ethan is the perfect instructor to teach form and technique. As a more tenured Pilates exerciser, Ethan will get you reaching new goals and breaking through plateaus.

I’ve taken mat Pilates classes with a variety of instructors over the years but Ethan’s instruction style is just the best. He is so professional, taking the time to observe the students and adjusting a posture when it can be improved upon. He’s funny and very likeable while always taking his work seriously. I appreciate that he cues so well, describing what he wants us to do so clearly that there’s no guesswork in the transitions. I walk and/​or go to the gym daily, but Wednesdays with Ethan are the exercise I most look forward to. He really is «as good as it gets». Thanks Ethan.

I resisted my wife’s request to «just try» a mat pilates class with Ethan. What do I need with that? I have my workout, I lift free weights, I do sprints on ropes, jump rope, and rowing machine for aerobics (and we eat Paleo, in case you were wondering).
But I gave in and found that I like Ethan’s pilates classes. They are good for my core and especially for my flexibility. My hip flexors really need this, as I sit all day for work. I can feel the improvement over the last year. Guys, you probably need this!
The great part is that Ethan pays attention to us, adjusts our positions, demonstrates when appropriate, and keeps the flow going. And sometimes makes us laugh. I have not taken an individual session with Ethan, but I can’t imagine that it wouldn’t be as good as his classes. Highly recommended.

i just lOvE ethan’s mat pilates classes! he does a great job teaching so you can really get the benefit of pilates… a workout from your toes to the top of you head and of course your core loves you when you leave every time! he gives you tips on how to make certain positions easier to manage, while also helping to tone and lengthen those muscles. ethan’s enthusiastic and really motivates you to keep going through the hour. you don’t stop, even during transitions. definitely recommend him!

Ethan is great. His classes are always so varied, challenging and fun. He is incredibly knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
