To me, the Wingmaster is an absolutely essential piece of Gyrotonic equipment. When it first appeared in the mid-2000s, it had incredible potential, but it mostly just looked pretty hanging on studio walls around the world.

There simply wasn’t much use for it. *Yet.*

How I Transformed the Wingmaster

In 2013, I began experimenting with this underused tool. It all started with a simple thought: “We could use more pushing exercises in Gyrotonic training.” Little by little, my list of exercises grew, and I eventually thought, “I wonder if I could make a course out of this?”

Long story short – that’s exactly what I did. And it changed everything.

Before my course, the Wingmaster was used in maybe fewer than 10 total exercises. Today? I’ve developed over 500 new exercises and created an entire training system that’s taught globally.

The key breakthrough? Instead of keeping it mounted on the wall or stuck on someone’s back, I took it off and put it in people’s hands. That simple change unlocked a universe of possibilities.

Sometimes the biggest innovations come from the simplest questions: “What if we did this completely differently?”

From Idea to Global Course

After developing the material, I presented it to system creator Juliu Horvath. After 2 more years of refinement, the course was ready for the world.

Since 2017, it’s been an incredible journey. I’ve traveled extensively across the U.S. and internationally to teach the Wingmaster course, connecting with trainers who I now call friends within the global Gyrotonic community.

Even during the pandemic lockdown, I kept teaching Wingmaster classes online, staying connected with trainers worldwide. One of my greatest joys? Hearing from trainers who’ve taken the course, sharing how useful the material has been and how much their clients love it.

The Three Revolutionary Approaches

Tab 3

Setting 1 – The Traditional Use

In the traditional approach, the Wingmaster sits directly on your body with your arms stabilizing it. This provides direct resistance to your core – it’s the purest way to add resistance to spinal movements.

While this offers the fewest variations, it’s actually the method I use most frequently because the focus on the core and the spinal ranges of motion are so intense and effective.

Setting 2 – The Pushing Revolution

This is where my innovation really started. Sitting facing away from the Pulley Tower with the Wingmaster in your hands, I developed an entire series of pushing movements.

Knowing that people – especially guys – love to push things (think chest presses and push-ups), I integrated these “push” movements with spinal ranges of motion. The result? Incredibly engaging exercises that feel familiar yet completely new.

Setting 3 – When there is Pushing, there can also be Pulling

Turn to face the tower, and you enter the world of pulling exercises – various forms of rowing where you draw the Wingmaster toward you. But this isn’t your basic gym rowing.

We add isometric holds, rotations, side bends, circumduction, standing, stepping, squats, and balance work. The result? Multi-dimensional, complex exercises that engage your entire body in ways traditional training never could.

Why I Use the Wingmaster More Than Anyone

If you train with me, you’ll be using the Wingmaster. A lot. I’m confident I use it more than any other trainer globally, and there’s a reason for that.

The Wingmaster allows me to focus deeply on both your “wants” (your goals and concerns) and your “needs” (the movement patterns I observe that need correction or building upon). Since these client-centered ideas were at the forefront of my mind when developing the course, I naturally integrate this material more than anyone else.

Beyond the Bench: Full-Body Integration

I’ve taken the Wingmaster far beyond traditional use. In addition to spinal movements, you’ll experience complex exercises that move beyond the bench and incorporate standing, squatting, balancing, and even aerobic elements.

When the Wingmaster is in your hands, your shoulders, elbows, and wrists aren’t just stabilizing – they become active participants. This opens up a wealth of movement opportunities that simply don’t exist anywhere else.

As with all Gyrotonic exercises, they’re not only incredibly effective – they’re also *fun* and feel amazing!
