GYROTONIC®

what is GYROTONIC® exercise?

The GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® was created some 35 years ago by Juliu Horvath who combined his years of experience as a professional ballet dancer and gymnast with his deep knowledge of yoga, Qigong, and Chinese Medicine to create a truly unique exercise system that uses sweeping, spherical motions to stretch and strengthen through every possible plane of motion.

The Workout

Ordinary weight machines limit the bodies ability to move through all planes creating tightness and compression rather than functional strength and mobility. In contrast, the GYROTONIC® method is designed to assist the body in developing strength combined with mobility in a fashion that mirrors the natural movement possibilities of the human body. The exercises employ a wide range of spherical and three-dimensional movements, articulating and mobilizing the joints, facilitating fluid movement, and enabling the muscles and joints to lengthen instead of moving with shortness and compression.

The Results

GYROTONIC® is highly adaptable to a wide range of people of varied physical ability, age, and exercise experience. This exercise system is now being utilized by elite athletes such as Shaquille O'Neal, entertainment icons, ballet and dance companies throughout the world, in hospitals and physical therapy clinics, and for more and more Americans who have found this system of structural fitness incredibly beneficial.
