GYROTONIC®

The GYROTONIC® Expansion System® is a revolutionary system of exercise that incorporates key movement principles from yoga, dance, gymnastics, swimming, and tai-chi. Developed by Juliu Horvath, a former dancer and gymnast, GYROTONIC® movement stretches and strengthens muscles while simultaneously stimulating and strengthening the connective tissues in and around the joints.

The even and constant resistance in the equipment eliminates the jarring found in conventional exercise machines where most injuries tend to occur. The exercises, synchronized with corresponding breathing patterns, provide stimulation to the cardiovascular and nervous systems which can range from gentle to quite challenging depending on the pace and intensity of the workout. Unique to the GYROTONIC® Expansion System is the three-dimensionality of the movements.

Circular rather than linear in nature, GYROTONIC® exercise incorporates spiraling and undulating motions on multiple movement planes, which increase the functional capacity of the spine and keep the body’s energy continuously flowing. Fully adjustable to the needs of every body type and strength level, GYROTONIC® movement is used worldwide in therapeutic, dance, sport-specific and general conditioning facilities by people of all ages.
