The essence of GYROTONIC® Training:

  • Attaining functional spinal movement.
  • Connecting breath to movement.
  • Targeting the deepest layer of muscles responsible for posture and core
    strength.
  • Utilizing cues and hands-on guidance to establish a new level of
    mind-body connection.

It is difficult to accurately convey the experience of the GYROTONIC® training because it is highly dependent on the individual. Mindset, previous movement experience, personality, as well as strengths and weaknesses all affect what a client will get out of a session. For this reason, to truly understand what GYROTONIC® training can offer you, we recommend new clients purchase Discovery Sessions, to experience both the science and the beauty of movement for yourself.

A GYROTONIC® session is an advanced training experience carried out on highly-specialized, hand-crafted machines:

Our state of the art studio features 3 GYROTONIC® Pulley Towers and 2 Jumping-Stretching Boards.

Training on both of these machines allows for upwards of 200+ exercises.

The machines support your body weight, which allows gravity to support you in each movement and thus increase your end range of motion. They also assist in creating better space in the joints, and as a result movements are performed on a deeper level. And finally, they challenge the body to execute exercises in all 3 planes of movement – restoring circling and spiraling motions within the joints as designed by nature.

Posture

The resistance of natural gravitational forces alternating between flexion and extension of the spine help to improve posture and promote a balanced body.

Everyday + Athletic Movements

The body structure and anatomy require circular and spiraling patterns of motion on a daily basis. Training the body to function in this way helps to improve the majority of everyday movement in both life and sport.

Breathing

The coordination of diaphragmatic breathing with each movement synchronizes synergistic work between motions to help rejuvenate and revitalize energy. Basically – while breathing – you are stabilizing, stretching and strengthening. Inhaling and exhaling happens in an easy manner without pause or tension.

Flexibility

The active control of engaging muscles increases their flexibility, encouraging safe opening of the joints, which helps to prevent overstretching.

Joints + Spinal Column

The equal distribution of forces through each joint and vertebrae decrease stress on the body and lead to greater range of motion and better energy expenditure.

Core Strength

The integration of core muscles provides a great base for functional and fluid movements – taking the body to the next level of well-being.
