i first met Ryan in 2008 when I joined a local Pilates studio after relocating from NJ. I have been training in Pilates since 1998 and Ryan is one of the top instructors i have worked with.

I left DC in 2014 but try to train with him whenever I am in DC!

But it is a workout and I am sweating at the end of each session. But also feeling very relaxed too.

After every session, my back and hip feel better because Ryan tries his best to tailor the various exercises to fit individual needs. He is quite adept at being able to visually pinpoint what adjustments...read full review
