Gyrotonic training – the most complete exercise system around.

In my (very biased) opinion, GYROTONIC® training is the most brilliant exercise system ever created. Being a certified instructor since 1999 will definitely create a bias. As much as I really enjoy yoga, weight training and kettlebells, Gyrotonic training is my number one choice and passion. It’s physical fitness at it’s most refined.

5 pieces of equipment, 1 system of motion

The five pieces of equipment are the Pulley Tower Unit, the Jumping Stretching Board, the Archway, the Leg Extension Unit and the GYROTONER®. The same principles of movement are used on each piece but each piece asks your body to be in very different positions. You’ll move all your joints through all their ranges of motion, usually with resistance. I find Gyrotonic training to be a nearly limitless system that can help almost anyone reach their movement and fitness goals.

Gyrotonic Training: A Personal Journey to Spinal Health

GYROTONIC® Training: A Personal Journey to Spinal Health

X-ray of my neck from 2021My spine has been through a lot. A serious car accident in 1985 left me with significant injuries, especially to my neck, and subsequent complications. However, Gyrotonic training has been instrumental in my recovery and ongoing spinal health, without causing any harm.

The 1985 Car Accident: A Life-Altering Event

In 1985, a mechanical failure in my car led to a head-on collision. The impact was severe, smashing the front driver’s side of my car. I have no memory of the accident itself, only waking up as the fire department pulled me from the wreckage.

  • Head Injury: My head struck the windshield frame, resulting in a deep cut on my left forehead that required 23 stitches.
  • Arm Bruising: Both of my arms were badly bruised, particularly my left arm from the shoulder to the elbow.

While I no longer have photos of the wrecked car, I am incredibly fortunate to have survived such a traumatic event.

Gyrotonic Lost & Found: Old exercises become new again.

The old becomes new. The GYROTONIC® Lost & Found course

I really love taking continuing education courses

The Master Trainers I got to hang out with at the Lost & Found course

GYROTONIC® training has been around for more than 30 years. The system isn’t static and stuffy and “classical”. It continues to grow, evolve, change and expand. Some of the changes come right from the top, from Juliu. Many changes come from other trainers, usually Master Trainers.

In all those years of growth and development, some very cool exercises slid into the background. Some gems got lost. Master Trainer Lucrezia Caricola scooped them up, organized them with purpose and created the Gyrotonic Lost & Found course, which I recently took from her in Boulder, CO.

The interview series: Gyrotonic trainer & athlete Melanie Rinaldi

To train athletes you need to think like and athlete

An interview with GYROTONIC® trainer Melanie Rinaldi

When any fitness professional begins training a new client we need to find out their current condition, fitness history and their goals. For most of us our clients’ goals are fairly simple: I want to lose some weight; I want to improve my golf game; I want to get rid of this nagging back pain. But when you’re training Olympic level or professional athletes, the expectations from the client are higher and more specific.
