Howdy! I am Matthew, career personal trainer and Pilates devotee. This channel is mostly about Pilates Reformer and mat; workouts, teacher tips, core integrity ideas, self care, and explorations into deeper intentions in health and exercise.
I currently train on a private ship called The World. On the ship I lead Reformer and mat, Yoga, weight training, outdoor sports, nutrition & wellness, and manage the gym. Unfortunately work videos are not permitted onboard, but you can see the travel side of my life on IG @MatthewRyanPilates.
In a way, this channel documents my journey and through the lens of fitness. From New York in 2010 shooting videos with a handycam, on the road in Cape Town and Europe, Pilates studies in Cali, then 6 years at VBodies, my old studio in Austin (my hometown.) Then saying goodbye in 2021, a few years on the run, and now in 2024 I work on a ship that sails around the world. Its such a blessing and dream job for a traveller dude like me!
