Pilates Level 1withKathy Palkaninec: Kathy has been with me since day one, and even after months I'm still learning so much from her. She understands how challenging some exercises are for me and always gives great corrections, patience, and a few laughs along the way. She is incredibly kind and makes every class feel supportive and encouraging. Pilates Level 1with Brittany Hyland: I love taking Brittany's Pilates class. She is so kind, patient, and genuinely helpful. She explains everything clearly, gives great corrections, and always makes the class feel welcoming. I leave every session feeling stronger and supported. Highly recommend her. read more

At my age to start taking Pilates was not what I was looking for with that being said the Instructor Kathy brought so much energy to a 6:30am class it was unbelievable! Kathy also took the time to help correct me and help with the set up of the machine without skipping a beat towards attention to the rest of the class. This was my third class and I'm feeling muscles that I had forgot I had. At 70 I found a new exercise routine for my old broken body!! read more

Absolutely loved Chris strength training class Pushed us hard. Good warm up and cool down read more

Wonderful studio with a fantastic location, excellent instructors and wonderful vibes! Highly recommend!

Sally, Casey, AJ and Bea are the best of the best you will find. The studio has all the classes you need including ruk up that really is my favorite! Any class you take you would get the best workout!!!! Try the ultimate and you won't regret but you would become a member like family! Every day I come I end up feeling better, more energized and happier. It's really a happy place! read more

Best pilates ever and Sally is my favorite. Her class is my favorite way to start the day.

Well, after all these years of thinking this place is more for the opposite sex, I got an offer from my daughter to take an hour Warm Raja Deep Stretch Yoga class with her at Ellen's. Since I have been on a workout regiment in another gym, I realized how tight my muscles and ligaments have become and ironically my trainer recommended I take Yoga once a week anyways. I have never done any Yoga before of any kind but I will try anything and with the help of Christine, our Yoga instructor, pushing my position a step further than I thought I could accomplish, it made me realize my body can do just a little more than I thought, no different than my weight training experience I regularly do three times a week. Once she got us into position, she talked us through a relaxing hold on our stretches by talking us through it and directing our breathing. It made my first time a GREAT experience, because in the end, my body naturally feels a little more flexible and I feel a "good" kind of tired and relaxed. I did not realize Ellen's Ultimate Workout offered so much. What a large Spinning room with rows of spinning bikes, definitely much more high tech and advanced than what I have been used to. They do hour classes 2-3 times a day during the week, 2 on Saturday and 1 on Sunday, per the current schedule. The "Ultimate" workout area is very impressive where they do light and heavy "boot camp" style workouts. It is an amazing room, with cardio and weight machines that they use to maximize these workouts for those who want to do extreme conditioning. Ellen's offers quite a number of Pilate classes , in a separate Pilates room. They offer 5-9 classes a day, and 3-4 classes on Fridays-Sunday. They also offer Ballet Bar and even have a fitness program for baby's and toddlers. Although you can walk in or make a reservation for the classes, it is better to purchase the Packages where you pay in advance for 5, 10 or 20 classes and use them anytime you want to for Cycle, Yoga, Ultimate, and other "Studio Package" classes including Ballet Barre. The more classes you purchase in advance, the less it costs per class. There is a separate pricing structure for Pilates classes or Pilate 1 on 1 classes as well. Looks to me like Ellen has covered EVERYTHING here, and the instructors are very professional. How do I know this? Because my daughter and my wife have been going here for 12 years. It definitely made me feel better as I walked up to Ellen's that I saw men waiting outside or just finishing classes. I will definitely be back Saturday mornings for the Stretch Yoga because it helped me, and now thinking about trying their spinning classes on my off weight training days. Thank you Christine for giving me special attention for my first Yoga experience. Was not easy to get these legs and arms stretched out, but the class definitely worked. read more

If you're looking for a great workout join this gym!!! There is a variety of classes and you really feel good once you finish.

A long overdue review for Ellen's. First, lets address the elephant on the table. Ellen's is expensive. However, when it comes down to it, Ellen's is not more any more expensive than another studio in the area offering quality exercise classes. Ellen's has 4 studios and offers a multitude of classes: Ultimate, Pilates, Spin, Ballet Barre, Hot Yoga, etc. Ellen is known for her Ultimate class which is a cardio and weights class. For those of you who go to Orange Theory, it is pretty much the same thing. Ellen actually created the Orange Theory class concept. Ultimate is not really for me. I don't really feel I need a class for treadmill work (they do rowing as well) and I get my strength training at Pilates. I do love the Pilates classes at Ellen's. I have taken all of the instructors and these ladies never seem to do the same exercise twice. It is never boring! One would not believe all of the contraptions including rings, band, balls, weights, etc. they will use with the Pilates reformer and what I call the "torture chair". All of the instructors are first rate As with any class, some instructors will suit different personalities more than others. If you live in West Broward, your first class is free. By the way, for those guys wondering if you should give it a try? Yes, there are plenty of men who go to Ellen's. They also offer a few kid's classes! However, as a working mom, Ellen's is not for my husband or kids. It is a place just for me. That Pilates room is like my sanctuary; where I can take an hour "off" and just concentrate on myself! read more

This review is specifically for the Ms. Sue Mommy & Me classes. I cannot rave enough about Ms. Sue's classes. I stumbled across Ms. Sue's incredible M&M classes over the summer when some of my mommy friends invited me to join them for a series of free music sessions for LO's. Being free, this class was PACKED, but it did not take away from the realization that these were the best M&M classes that I had ever been to. Ms. Sue was so warm and welcoming. The class that I attended was meant for younger babies, but since half of the class was comprised of my Mommy friends and my cousin, I decided to stay until the summer was over. Even though the class was intended for younger ones, my LO still loved every minute of it especially the egg shakers. At the end of the summer, Ms. Sue let me know that she would be at EUW during the year. After settling into the new school year, I looked up Ms. Sue and signed up! Ms. Sue offers some weekdays and Saturday morning, so if you are a mamma looking for something to do with your LO 3 -12 mo. during the day, this is definitely the place to go. Ms. Sue is absolutely amazing and has been in early education for over a decade. There are many different manipulatives that Ms. Sue incorporates in each of her sessions that keep young ones engaged every week - with just enough repetition that they feel a sense of routine. One added benefit of being in a fitness location is that there are trampolines for the LO's to jump on as well as various sizes exercise balls for them to safely practice kicking, throwing, or just playing around. There is enough free time and circle time that keeps you and the LO moving the entire time. It isn't just that Ms. Sue is so fantastic, but the parents that follow Ms. Sue are such great people, friendly, nice and welcoming, that it makes the sessions enjoyable not just for baby, but for the adults as well. Yes, of course when going to Mommy and Me it is about engaging your child in stimulating activities and socialization - but all of that can be very taxing if you go to sessions where the adults that go aren't friendly. Sure your kid leaves happy, but you don't. And I have done that over and over trying out different places, and definitely these parents are the nicest that I have ever met, and so are their children. So it makes the entire experience enjoyable and makes me look forward to going each week. Thanks Ms. Sue!! read more

Ultimate Workout - Yoga Near Me - Davie, Florida

I love Ellen's. In general it is a fitness studio with several different work out rooms. One room is for spinning, another for pilates, another one for the ultimate fitness, and another room for yoga and misc classes. You can reserve their classes on line at their website http://www.ellensultimateworkout.com/ or you can use the mindbody app which is my preferred choice. First the spinning room has bikes stacked pretty close to each other, so they are definitely maximizing space. I like the fact that there are hooks on the back of the wall so that you can hang your bag. The bikes are all genuine Johnny G spinning bikes with a tachometer on them. The spinning room has a strobe light and other lighing which will give you a great vibe when the music is on point. In addition, it has a screen if you would like to show video to go with the music. Well, let's say all instructors are not alike as anywhere. Some are good, some need improvement, but my favorite is Susan Andreoni. Her class is just fun. She is superb at providing instruction, reminding you of where your goal is and motivating to step it up for 30 seconds or one minute. More so, her class is just fun! She varies the music for all types and you will almost feel like you are at a party- but no - it's workout!! I honestly look forward to her class- I feel so pumped when I am done and have had the best workout. Susan A I would give 5 stars, but the bikes are so close together and some of the other instructors have room for improvement ( although I know to each their own)...so I will give 3.5 stars here. I have not taken a pilates class yet here but I will soon and will share more when I do. However, the room is full of pilates equipment and as you can see, the reviews on it are great. Then you have the ultimate room. This room has lots of treadmills, rowers, weights, benches, balls, etc. Get the picture? Ellen's was doing Orange Theory before it was Orange Theory. This is what they do, mix up cardio and strength training for 60 minutes and push you to the core with great coaching! You will definitely push yourself with the motiviating coach to where you can while everyone is on different levels. I have taken several classes here with Vinny and he is good at explaining and continuing to try to push yourself. I also like the fact that he high fives everyone and celebrates their effort when they leave. 5 stars Next you have the yoga room. They have heated yoga and vinyasa. So vinyasa is a flow with many poses and in one particular class the instructor changes poses so fast you can't keep up. Now while one can say maybe it is just me, but I have been in her class a few times and when I look around the room, if two people are following it is amazing. So I think she needs to pay attention more to her audience and their form. The classes are overall good, but I can't say that I have had one that is amazing yet. Actually I did have one instructor that was on point, but the class went over 15 minutes past schedule so it lost points for me as I had something to do after, and I hate feeling rude and walking out! So the instructors while passionate about their practice, should be conscious of people's time. 2.5 stars Last but not least, my favorite yet most painful class is Ballet Barre with Jen Mirk. Jen teaches several classes and they are all packed. She is really amazing. Motivating encouraging, pushes you to a hilt. Her instruction is stellar she will be sure to correct form and push you to limits you didn't know. I have a whole new respect for ballerina. I come out of that class as sweaty as hot yoga! She definitely earns 5 stars for her classes and she starts and ends on time! She wants you to get your money's worth ;-) Now Ellen's is not cheap, but you have class variety ( many more which I did not review) with mostly top notch instructors who really coach and guide you as would a trainer. Membership starts at $99 for 8 classes or you can pay per class or buy packages. Honestly, for the variety and the instructors which are great- the bang for the buck is pretty great. I would highly recommend them!!! I pay for Ellen's on top of my gym membership because usually classes at the gym are just blah...meh...so you get what you pay for. First class is always free, so I would encourage you to give them a try!!! Overall, the facility is kept very clean. The location is in Davie right off of University slightly South of Griffin. I drive all the way from Sunrise as I love their facility and instructors that much. I just hop on the turnpike to Griffin and head West on over there! I will work to add more photo's to my review soon too :-) read more

Ultimate Workout - They have encouraging quotes all throughout the facility This one is in the ladies restroom. How cool is that? - Yoga Near Me - Davie, Florida

I joined Ellen's in April with the Weight Loss Challenge held by Bea. My 1st month I lost 10 lbs, My 2nd month I lost 4 pant sizes. I couldn't believe it! Every instructor is great and looks out for you. They want you to do your best, they care about you and want you to see results. I have done things I thought I couldn't do. I have been pushed by the best for my best to do my best. I love coming to Ellen's. Stop driving by and come on in. You will love it!! read more

Ultimate Workout - Yoga Near Me - Davie, Florida

I've been taking classes at Ultimate Workout for almost 14 years and I still love it for several reasons... 1) a variety of classes are offered including Pilates, weights, spin, barre, yoga and more 2) creative and motivating instructors 3) even if I take the same class it's never the same workout so I never get bored 4) I'm always challenged to push myself more 5) super clean environment and well maintained equipment 6) class number is capped so it's never over-crowded 7) friendly environment with clients motivating each other. Thank you Ultimate Workout! read more

Love working out here! Everyone is friendly and professional. Clean gym! Check it out!! All the instructors are amazing! read more

I've been taking classes at Ellen's for over 6 years. Whether you're a beginner or a fitness enthusiast, you can start here at any level. Nowhere else compares to the variety of classes you can access all in one location: pilates, yoga, spin, ballet barre, weight training & cardio. The instructors are well-educated and they really care about your results. They will also help you modify if you have injuries or limitations, so you don't have to feel intimidated. Ellen's Ultimate classes always incorporate innovative routines and unique equipment into the workouts, many you won't find in other gyms - like TRX, rowers, versa climbers and ski machines. You'll want to push yourself to get better with each class so you actually start to "compete" with yourself and strive to get stronger. And best of all, you'll see results you wouldn't get if you were going to your average, neighborhood gym. So give it a try - you can even take a free class - and you'll see why Ellen's really is the "Ultimate Workout!" read more

ultimate workout is extremely pushy, and when I needed to cancel my membership, they began charging my account 4 months later because I had told them that's when I'd be returning to town. when asked about this, they continued to charge me, eventually refunded me for only 1 month, but took away all classes that I had already paid for previously. extremely unimpressed by their antics. read more

i love Ellens. You don't have to think of a workout game plan when you go there. Just get your focus on and they do the rest! Ultimates rock it! read more

My review is long overdue. I come here only for ballet bar with Jen. Today my daughter who is in town from New York wanted to do Jen's ballet bar class. She's a big fan of Jen's and has been going here for years. This class is so killer you are going to feel it for days! The studio offer pilates, hot yoga, P3 cycle, ultimate workout, ballet bar, fit baby/toddler and stretch yoga. So you see there's something for everyone. The instructors are all top notch. The studio is clean and has showers. They have a huge following so book ahead. They offer many packages and that's the way to go. I use to take a hip hope class here but they no longer offer it. Hoping it will return soon. Happy workout everyone! read more

The best place for a great workout. Skilled instructors. Awesome equipment. Every minute of your workout is spent making your stronger.

This place is a hidden gem. The energy is great from the moment you walk in the door and are greeted by the front desk staff to the various instructors. I have been going here steadily for the last 5 months and tried the cycling and ultimate workout classes (which are excellent) but my favorite by far is their reformer Pilates. Their classes have really wonderful, skilled instructors who provide concise directions and create a great atmosphere. The cost per class is the cheapest you'll get in broward or dade county for a FULL Pilates set up (this isn't your cheap mat Pilates we're talking about here, this is like the full range of equipment). The Pilates workouts are full body - I've been to others where there is no upper body work included but that's not the case here. Keep in mind that this isn't some big corporate chain - you'll get a much more personal touch here and that includes trainers with their own personalities and methods (you can get the drill sergeant type or the warm-fuzzy type) - try a few different classes with a few different types of instructors to get an idea of what instructor you like to work with (that being said I have several that are awesome and I frequently go to). Bottom line - this place is excellent and you should give it a try. I don't think you'll be disappointed. read more

I don't live here, but whenever I am in town I come here. Best workout, best Coaches and staff. I never leave wishing I had done more...they push you to do more! read more

The worst customer service !!! They are scammers. I cancelled my membership and for 8 Months they were charging the credit card. When my husband informed me and I told them after multiple back and fourths they said I only verbally cancelled and it had to be written. I am out over 800 dollars plus a package of classes. They did not care and their customer service is horrible. Think long and hard before joining. Not worth it !!!!! read more

I started going to Ellen's approximately 10 years ago. Life happens and I moved down south. There is new ownership and they decided not to allow me to keep my classes so I ended up losing 7 studio and 5 Pilates classes. I don't live nearby so it's a shame because I did enjoy going when I could to get out of my routine. They do have amazing instructors but I was disappointed to lose the 12 classes I purchased and decided not to purchase anymore. Orange Theory tried doing this and they changed their policy back as they realized it was bad for their business. I hope in time Ellen's will change this and not lose the relationships Ellen worked so hard to get. I also read a review where someone had cancelled their membership but they continued to charge her and then refused to credit back a few months. Other than that, the instructors and studio are great. read more

Ultimate Workout Davie is the real deal. A wonderful community of instructors and staff that care about you, your family, your growth and your health. I am so grateful for the staff and team and for their sincere kindness they have shown me and my family. Every class is challenging and rewarding. Especially during COVID-19, the staff worked tirelessly to help all of us stay mentally and physically fit. Thank you for all you do and have done. Will continue to workout here for many years. read more

My wife started going here and kept trying to get me to go. After a couple of months, I decided to try the pilates class with her. It wasn't as intimidating as I thought it would be. The instructors and the others in the class were very helpful. Every class has seemed to have new people and the instructors do a great job at making sure everyone is doing everything properly. Luba, Bee, and Cathy have all been great! read more

This review is long overdue. I've been going to Ellen's for years and now that I've moved to the other side of the country, I realize how much I miss this studio. Luckily, my mom lives close by so I am able to visit when I am in the area. Some of the best classes are as follows: Hot Yoga with Christine; Hot Yoga/Pilates with Kym; Any Class with Jen Mirk; Ultimate with Vinny, Casey, or Bea; Spinning with Sue; Pilates (reformer) with Octavia. If you can get into Ellen Latham's spinning class, you'll feel like you've just completed an entire motivational speaking convention in one hour. Honestly, each instructor will push you and motivate you in their own way... I've never left Ellen's studio disappointed. If you sign up for a class in advance and do not cancel 24 hours prior, you'll "lose" your class. I love that Ellen's has this policy! When I first started, I never signed up in advance out of fear that I wouldn't make the class. Eventually, I realized that this is THE BEST way to get me to my workout and feeling amazing for days afterward! I've wanted to bail so many times after work or even at 5:30 am but was constantly motivated to go. Ellen's offers one complimentary missed class for your convenience. The customer service and quality of the studio is undeniably the best I've ever experienced. People remember your name, greet you when you come in, and work hard to establish a truly genuine experience at Ellen's Ultimate Workout. Ellen's knows how to treat their customers and the success of the studio is proof of the quality. Once you try out a class, you'll instantly be addicted! Ellen's prices are competitive with other studios in the area and there are discounts if you are a teacher or a student. Being healthy never felt so good! read more

I cannot say enough positive things about Ellens! I first started taking spinning classes at Ellen's a few years ago. All I can say is you don't know what you are missing until it's gone! I moved to Miami a year and a half ago and was forced to take LA fitness spinning classes. I missed the great instructors and friendly atmosphere of Ellen's. Casey happens to be my favorite spinning instructor and taking her classes is more fun than anything (not saying it's not hard though) She plays great music and keeps you motivated! An hour goes by and you may be sweating profusely and out of breath but DAMN DO YOU FEEL GOOD! Now that I am back in Broward county I will be there at least 3 times a week! I am also excited to try some of there new classes like the Ballet Barre. I recommend you give Ellen's a try and I bet you won't want to go anywhere else! read more

Love love love ELLEN'S!! The instructors are amazing, motivating and very knowledgeable. Jen's ballet barre rocks, Casey's and Adrian's spin classes are killer! And always enjoy Ellen's spin!! HIGHLY recommended!!!! read more

Ducked in to talk digital + social media marketing, and Sport's & Activities Directory's dynamic new smartphone app. I've heard many, many great things about this operation and I've been a fan of Casey's for many moons. It is clear to see that this place has the right formula. Very, very busy and popular operation with a full compliment of fit, healthy, hot, and energetic trainers and customers. Lots of energy and activity going on when I visited. I shall be back ASAP to get my sweat on. Cabeza OUT! read more

I love Ellen's Ultimate Workout! Exactly the gym I was looking for, especially for the Pilates classes. I attended my first class today and thoroughly enjoyed it. The instructor was a aware it was my first time attending and she gave me guidance throughout the whole class when needed. (Unlike another gym I checked out a few months ago which made me intimidated to ever go back). I took the beginners class a little wary that it would be too easy and it wasn't. (About a year ago I checked out a different gym and felt like the beginners Pilates class was too easy, but as a new member it was required to stay in the beginners class during the 5 day trial). Needless to say I found my gym and signed up for the Ultimate membership. I'm looking forward to my next Pilates class as well as trying out the other classes that are offered. And the staff here is wonderful, outgoing and friendly! read more

After taking a 7 month hiatus, I'm back and with a vengence. To my surprise, they've added new instructors (all of which are qualified) and even a new class called Ballet Barre. This Ballet Barre class, let me tell you. It is...nothing short of amazing. If you ever want to be sore in places that you didn't know existed or had forgotten about, this class would do it! Put it this way, I was left stumbling out of the class and waking up at 3:30am the next morning from pure muscle fatigue. OH YEAH! Here's the low down - it's a new workout that is highly recommended, very popular and a must try! It uses the ballet barre as well as weights and balls. This is the class for pure body sculpting - and even though your heart rate is up, stick to Ultimate or Spinning for the cardio. This is mostly core work..and let's not under estimate the "work" for this class. It is HARD but very rewarding. I'm glad I'm back - I just wished they offered more early morning and late evening classes (for the working/school attending people) and/or were closer to the Aventura area. Otherwise, my loyalty for this gym remains even though I'm no where near as in shape as some of the other hardcore clientele. read more

This is my all time favorite place! I have spent thousands (with no regret) of dollars over the years working out here with the best instructors and taking the most wonderful mommy n me classes with the famous MISS SUE!! Everything is perfect! Hard to workout elsewhere. It's like a boutique gym with innovative fun workouts and did I mention the best instructors!!!! Including but not limited to Jen and Octavia! I'm on a workout hiatus. But dreaming of going back as soon as possible!!! It's a neighborhood gem! See you at Ellen's soon enough. read more

Best in the buisness! Friendly staff & amazing instructors. I am doing the weight loss challenge with Bea and have lost all my baby weight and then some. Octavia is amazing for Pilates and cassy is kick ass I'm any class! I highly recommend this gym if your serious about working! #resultsdontlie read more
