Deep conditioning through the nervous system

GYROTONIC® is an exercise method developed by Juliu Horvath in the 1980s. Drawing on the principles of Pilates, yoga, swimming, ballet, gymnastics and tai chi, it aims to condition the body deeply by activating the nervous system.

The result is flexibility and muscle strength, correct posture and an overall sense of wellbeing. As in every alternative form of exercise, full awareness is needed — breathing is deep and plays a major role in the method’s philosophy.

The system

Movement without limits

What makes the system unique is that it stretches and strengthens the muscles at the same time with minimal effort, while increasing range and improving the coordination of movement. The joints are mobilised and exercised along with the muscles.

It uses specially designed equipment built around the human body: complete freedom of movement, with no limits on speed. Unlike most conventional machines, where movements are linear and demand strength without coordination, here movement flows naturally, without jolts or breaks, bridging contraction and stretch.

Circular movements of the joints create a balanced support system for the skeleton. Exercises are performed in circles, under constant guidance and with variable, controlled resistance.
