Ethan May is an Exercise Physiologist based in St Leonards, NSW. He works from Suite 3, 60 Pacific Highway Corner Berry Road, St Leonards NSW 2065, helping people build safer, more helpful exercise routines that fit real life.
Ethan’s focus is on exercise programs, physical activity counselling, fitness assessments and cardiovascular exercise planning. That can mean starting from scratch, stepping things back up after a break, or improving how you move day to day.
Many people see an exercise physiologist because exercise can feel confusing, stressful, or a bit risky. Ethan looks at what you can do now, what’s getting in the way, and what you actually want to achieve. Then he helps turn that into a simple plan you can stick with.
In many cases, clients are managing long-term health needs where regular movement matters. This might include changes in heart health, recovery after illness, ongoing conditions that affect energy or strength, or general concerns about fitness and stamina. At times, people also come in wanting a better routine for stress, sleep, and overall wellbeing, without overdoing it.
The process usually starts with a fitness assessment. Ethan takes time to understand your current fitness level and your goals. He’ll then help plan exercises that match your abilities, not just what looks good on paper. You’ll get guidance on how often to train, what kind of activity is useful, and how to progress in a way that feels manageable.
Cardiovascular exercise planning is a big part of what Ethan does. That means building up heart-safe activity in a step-by-step way, with attention to pacing and comfort. If you’re not sure what intensity feels right, that’s part of the plan too. The aim is steady improvement, not pushing through pain or exhaustion.
Physical activity counselling is also central to his work. Ethan helps people think through the practical side of exercise: time, motivation, equipment, and how to stay consistent when life gets busy. Small changes can make a big difference, and in many cases it’s about finding the simplest routine that works.
Overall, Ethan May’s role is to bring structure and calm support to exercise, especially when you want a plan that takes your body and your goals seriously. If you’re in the St Leonards area and want help making movement feel clearer and more achievable, his clinic is a good place to start.
