GYROTONIC

GYROTONIC provides a low impact, full body workout that streghthens and tones muscles, and improves flexibility and range of motion.

GYROTONIC incorporates key principles of gymnastics, swimming, ballet and yoga. Major muscle groups are worked together in an integrated manner using fluid, circular movements. Specially designed exercise equipment provides free range of movement and enhances coordination, strength and flexibility. The body is supported by the equipment, either in lying or sitting positions, as the participant moves through a series of rhythmic, low-impact exercises. The motion patterns are natural, with no interruption, creating a bridge between contraction and extension through the rotating movement of the joints.

GYROTONIC uses four main pieces of equipment, the Pulley Tower, the Jump-Stretching Board, the Ladder and the Leg Extension Unit.

Pulley Tower

The Pulley Tower emphasizes multiple joint articulations without compression, thus strengthening ligaments and attachments. The exercises are performed through spherical awareness and circularity of movement, enabling the user to perform under permanent guidance with variable controlled resistance.

Jump-Stretching Board

The Jump-Stretching Board works the body in a way that does not restrict natural movement, as does most linear exercise equipment, but rather enhances it. From mobilizing the joints, where many problems occur, to releasing tension in the muscles, this machine leaves you feeling mobile, free, light and strong.

Ladder

The Ladder is used for extraordinary shoulder and chest opening exercises as well as back strengthening and lengthening movements. It is adjustable for size differences as well as levels of fitness. The Ladder allows for free-range movement of the spine.

Leg Extension Unit

The Leg Extension Unit strengthens the legs with a mechanism that allows the leg to naturally move outward, away from the body. This creates a gentle and fluid movement that eliminates stress on various muscles and ligaments, particularly in and around the knee.
