What is GYROTONIC®?

The Gyrotonic methodology is a movement training/exercise system that demands rotational movements from your body. This makes it unique and an extremely effective form of exercise. As it addresses all parts of the body, you will feel as if you had a "workout" but the difference is that your spine and joints will feel "released."

Gyrotonic exercise can be done on a machine that combines a bench, rotating exercise wheels and a weighted pulley tower - it's called a Cobra, or you can take the class form, called GYROKINESIS®

The intention in a full workout is to work all the major joints in the body through their full range of motion. Special attention is paid to increase the functional capacity of the spine, resulting in a stronger, yet more flexible body, which is significantly less prone to injuries. 

After a few weeks of training, you will likely feel a pronounced difference in strength, ease, efficiency of movement, and an overall sense of well being.
Initially, the movements may seem complex until you get the hang of them - because we're just not used to twisting our spines - but they need it!

Connecting with your body and getting the breathing right is crucial to getting the most out of Gyrotonic - which means switching off and leaving the pressures of life outside. Establishing this state of active relaxation can be hard, especially when you are concentrating on mastering new body skills and trying to do your best - but the results are well worth it.

Forbes Magazine reported: “Early adopters are gravitating toward…a… regimen called Gyrotonic®.  This system of rotational exercises has already caught on with martial artists, dancers, physical rehab patients and a smattering of celebrities. But its greatest appeal may ultimately be to golfers, since the exercises lengthen muscles and loosen joints, thus adding both finesse and oomph to one’s golf swing.”

“The most efficient training for me during the season would have
 to be Gyrotonic…I fire off on my minute muscles, instead of the
 big muscles.” St. Louis Cardinals right fielder Reggie Sanders

“Moved from 60th to 30th on the money
  list in one year.”
             Andrew Magee, PGA Tour Player

“It has helped me tremendously to reach
 the PGA Tour.  I do it before every round of Golf.”
               Mark Wilson, PGA Tour Player

The benefits:

Improves posture
Sports medics have attributed a more upright and elegant posture to the continuous involvement of the supportive muscles as they are strengthened and stretched.

Puts no stress on joints
Gyrotonic exercises are beneficial for anyone suffering from joint pain because the unique way of securing the pulleys on the machines allows movement without impact.

Leads to better co-ordination
The major muscle groups work together as well as interdependently, which, over time, leads to increased coordination with more efficient muscle recruitment.

Lifts your spirits
The increased energy and raised spirits can be attributed to the circular, spiralling motions and specific individual breathing patterns, as they help relax tight muscles and stiff joints.

Gives you full spinal mobility
Gyrotonic movements free the spine to move in all directions, so improving back suppleness.
