What is the GYROTONIC® Method?
The GYROTONIC® Method is an original and unique movement method that addresses the entire body. With Gyrotonic exercises, each movement flows into the next, allowing the joints to move through a natural range of motion without jarring or compression. It is practiced in group or private classes under the instruction of a qualified Gyrotonic Trainer.
Gyrotonic exercises help improve performance and speed up rehabilitation and recovery. All kinds of people take Gyrotonic classes, including athletes, senior citizens, fitness enthusiasts, and people living with a disability. People come out of a Gyrotonic class with increased freedom of movement, greater strength, and more agility. Athletes improve performance. Rehabilitation clients recover more quickly post-injury.
The Gyrotonic Method utilizes specialized equipment to guide, assist, and challenge the exerciser. This equipment offers fluid feedback and complete freedom of movement. It utilizes mild resistance to strengthen joints where most injuries occur.

Using specialized GYROTONIC® equipment
The human body is designed to work as one harmonious system, to follow arcing and spiraling paths of motion, and to transition from one movement to the next smoothly and efficiently.
The Gyrotonic Method creator, Juliu Horvath, designed a specialized line of equipment around these natural movement patterns.
Because Gyrotonic equipment is highly adjustable, it can be customized to fit each person’s unique physique and ability, adapting to height, arm and leg length, and range of motion.
