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.
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.

Water and it’s fluidity are queues we use frequently in GYROKINESIS®. While we want to, and will, increase the strength of our muscles and remove tightness and musculotendinous adhesions through taking Gyrokinesis classes, we want to do it without struggle, almost without effort, through the flow of the motion.
