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.

Free Shoulder Circles from the Upper Body Series

Another great exercise that doesn’t have a name befitting it’s awesomeness.

Normally, the exercises in the Upper Body Series use a backrest. But in this version you have no back rest, so you’re “free”. Hence the name I gave it here. It likely has another name elsewhere and I hope it’s cooler than that name.

Back Leg Pedal from the Hamstring Series
