De GYROTONIC® Method
The GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® is an original and unique movement method that addresses the entire body, opens energy channels, stimulates the nervous system, increases range of motion and creates functional strength. The body is naturally designed to work as one harmonious system, to follow arcuate and spiral paths of motion and to transition smoothly and efficiently from one movement to the next.
GYROTONIC® lessons are adapted to everyone's ability, so everyone can train on the equipment. It does not matter whether you need rehabilitation or whether you are a top athlete who wants to improve specific actions, there are so many options within the method to find the best support for you.
The specialized Gyrotonic equipment supports your training by providing direction, resistance and removing weight. Each device has its specialty and a slightly different way of addressing the body, which makes the training not only more effective but also more fun.
In our studio you will find the following Gyrotonic Devices:
The Gyrotonic Pulley Tower is the result of 30 years of research and development and is the most widely distributed and used Gyrotonic machine.
The Pulley Tower provides smooth, even support and resistance through a unique, weighted pulley system. The design of the equipment supports the full and natural range of motion of the joints, allowing three-dimensional, functional movements. This eliminates sharp and abrupt movements to prevent injuries.
The Archway looks the most challenging, but is one of our favorite machines and a lot easier to conquer than you might think.
The best thing about this machine is that you can make gravity work for you in a different way. With the many different exercises you approach gravity vertically, horizontally, diagonally and upside down. This allows many strength and stabilization exercises while lengthening your body at the same time, the ultimate full-body connection.
The Gyrotoner facilitates hip and shoulder articulation, it is a fantastic device for mobilization of the mid and upper back.
The direction that the handles give to the body improves the coordination of hip and shoulder movements with the spine.
Exercises on the Gyrotoner often look simple, but require full concentration and have a major influence on the body's recovery.
The Leg Extension Unit enables functional movements of the entire body, improving coordination of the upper and lower body and hand-foot coordination at the same time. The ranges of motion in different planes increase the functional strength and stability of all joints. A unique mechanism ensures that the leg lengthens as it stretches, allowing the hip and knee joints to move smoothly in a natural range. All this without compression, increasing strength and stability around those joints.
The Jumping Stretching Board offers a wide range of exercises that can be performed from lying, sitting, kneeling and standing positions. These exercises improve flexibility and functional strength.
The ergonomic sliding platform allows you to run and jump in a horizontal plane, ensuring low impact compared to performing the same exercises vertically (standing). Because the spine and pelvis are fully supported, this is a great way to work on strength and coordination during recovery from injuries.
There are many accessories for this device that give the exercises a playful character through smooth sliding movements or rotating platforms, which ensure fun while performing the challenging strength and coordination series.
In our Studio you can take Gyrotonic lessons in both group and private lessons.
