Gyrotonic


The Gyrotonic Expansion System®, (Gyrotonics), is a modern form of exercise using Gyrokinesis® as its basis. It is being referred to as “the new wave of fitness”.

Gyrotonics was developed by a Hungarian man named Juliu Horvath. His own experiences with injuries and chronic pain led to this development. The system incorporates the flexibility of yoga, the strength of weight training, and the stretching benefits of Pilates. It also incorporates principles from dance, gymnastics, swimming and tai-chi.

Using a specially designed piece of equipment, our certified trainers work one on one with the client to guide them through a series of movements that work major muscle groups in an integrated manner, without impact. These movements emphasize placement and alignment of the body. There is also specific breathwork for each movement which facilitates cardiovascular/aerobic stimulation. By altering the speed and intensity of the breathwork the cardiovascular stimulation can be increased from gentle to vigorous. Clients twist, turn, bend and stretch using pulleys and resistance tools to increase their strength, flexibility, range of motion, coordination and endurance.

Since the system can be modified to all fitness and ability levels, it is an appropriate form of exercise for people of all age groups and abilities.
