Ethos Training Systems

Say hello to our newest member of the coaching team, Hailey Houser! She’ll coach you through class with a sly smile and some killer jokes. Hailey’s background in basketball and personal training make her a special combination that you won’t want to miss!

And now, a word from Hailey:
“ I came to Chicago a few years after my college basketball career, and became a trainer. I started at Chicago Athletic Clubs, F45, and my own private training. Now, I’m here and pumped to be a part of the Ethos Community!

One fun fact about me is…I’m gradually becoming a bird watcher. Slowly but surely.”

You can catch Hailey holding down the house on Mondays and Thursdays. We’ll see you there.

🚨 Fitness is more fun with FRIENDS. 🚨

Showing up gets easier the second your friend says they’re signed up for class.

Show up for yourself + show up for others!

We will always show up for YOU.

Strength in numbers, we’re a community of humans committed to getting better every day. 💪🏻 🔥 😅 👯‍♀️

I mean don’t quote us on slide 2 but mental wellness we definitely endorse! Exercise your brain + spill that TEA! The workout will be over before you can finish saying “Poliquin step up”.

TRX Y-Pull.

A movement that emphasizes scapular movement + control.

A good addition for our Deload week! WHY?

It provides a bit of technical learning + motor patterning without adding too much stress on the shoulder joint.

Exercise selection matters! That’s why we take our time programming every session with intention + above all else, with YOU in mind.

Deload week vibes. A little extra time for deep squats + morning beverages type of week.

After every 12-week training cycle we take ONE week off from our high intensity programs to let the body RECOVER before beginning our next block.

- no barbell work
- full CARs morning routine everyday
- focus on structural balance movements

It’s a long training year.

Stress + Rest = GROWTH.

That feeling when the gym is poppin’ + Spring is in the AIR!

Sunny + warm days are just around the corner.

See you soonnnnmm summertime…

It’s not about the weight on the bar, it’s about the human you become on the road to your version of BETTER.

Ethos Co-Founder Tim Cohen + Sports Acupuncturist Kasey McKenney of Midtown Chiropractic are teaming up for an evening dedicated to covering all things foot + ankle health.

2️⃣ professionals, 1️⃣ focus. How to get you the CARE your body NEEDS!

🗣️ Holler at us in the comments if you have topics you’d like us to cover (foot + ankle only please, we’re saving the tarot readings for another EA 😏).

See you there!

Everybody get up! ⬆️

Everybody get down! ⬇️

Some days, some sets, some reps, it’s more about showing up + giving your best in the moment. Don’t worrying about how much weight is on your bar! You’re here + you’re moving.

Better comes in a lot of ways. Sometimes you gotta go ⏪️ backward to go forward ⏩️.

(Shoutout Science!)

We see you grinding! Keep it UP!

Meet OLIVIA DANG! A newer member to Ethos but a 314 OG nonetheless! Thanks for always bringing the ENERGY! ⚡️

Plz, show the tatas some consideration!

If not, let this serve as a reminder to
STOP 🛑
DROP ⬇️
And 🐱 🐪 it onnn out!

Struggling with back pain?
Feeling locked up?

Ashton makes us wanna show UP for ourselves! His energy is powerful + we love to see him walk through the door.

One of the fastest ways to get BETTER is to be willing to LISTEN + IMPLEMENT corrections. Need tips?

Take note next time you’re in class with Ashton!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

We hope you find partnerships in life that are as strong as the ones that get you workout in polo shirts at 5AM. 🤪😍💪🏻

XOXO, from our community to yours.

Happy Super Bowl Sunday! 🏈 It’s extra important to get yourself BOOKED for a week of classes ahead even if you’re coming off a Sunday Funday. Prioritize YOU. You’re SO worth it.

Mid-Week reminder that your Ethos Community is here to support you.

Sometimes… it just be like that!

Take 10 seconds, come back for the rest of the reps.

IYKYK baby. 😤

Battling our inner demons is part of the FUN! 😂 😈 😮‍💨

Change your angles, change your life.

We talk often in our posts about why changing the position of your body or distribution of weight during exercise is SO important.

At the end of the day, life is going to throw A LOT of variables your way. Accounting for the variety of life in your physical training makes your body more prepared when 💩 hits the fan.

Icy sidewalks anybody?! 🥶

Meet Wesley Mullins!

Wesley has been an Ethos member for years now + led the gym for MOST classes attended in 2022!

Read the caption + get to know this all-star community member!

Having flashbacks to last weeks programming like 👀

You said
TWELVE?
EACH?
ALTERNATING?

Just checking.

Strong things don’t break.

The barbell goodmorning is an exercise we like to use for training LOWER BACK strength.

The best part is this advanced option can be SCALED.

Newer or want to go LIGHTER? Switch out the barbell for dumbells or kettlebells!

Safe and effective. Built for you.

Block 2: Agonist Supersets.

3-weeks of German Body Composition training in the books. Time to up the intensity with some superset training.

Swipe for success.

How are you leveling UP your training this year?

At Ethos, we believe nothing replaces good coaching if your goal is to perform better.

We believe in coaches that do MORE than count sets + reps.

We believe in coaches who will get on their hands + knees with you to make sure you understand what it takes to perform better every. single. session.

We are committed to YOUR success.
