Ethan has worked for notable fitness companies in New York, Los Angeles, and San Diego. He caters to both private clients and group fitness classes including Pilates mat and reformer classes, indoor cycling, BOSU, TRX, and various conditioning formats.

Ethan found Pilates in 2005. Although he was a successful NYC-based group fitness instructor who taught more than 15 spin classes per week and several strength training classes, he was suffering from a lack of flexibility and range of motion – a common complaint for athletes. At the suggestion of a girlfriend, he attended a few yoga classes but never connected to the vibe. On a whim, he took a Pilates mat class and immediately clicked with the format.

Ethan is a believer in the power of Pilates to strengthen and heal the body and has helped his clients achieve increased flexibility and range of motion, improved posture and body awareness, as well as enhanced overall body strength and conditioning.
