Quotes:

“GYROTONIC® is the Bang and Olufsen of Exercise.”

Nathanael Cooper, DNA, Australia

“GYROTONIC® challenges the body to move in new ways. This might explain why even religious gym goers didn’t lose inches from their bodies until they tried the method.

Although it’s not aerobic exercise, it forces you to engage multiple muscle groups simultaneously, whereas standard weight lifting isolates a muscle group and bulks up that area.”

Dr Richard Klein - Manhattan, an article for ELLE USA, by Aida Leisenring

GYROTONIC® Equipment Sessions
Q: What happens when you get to move in many different directions on one piece of equipment?

A: You leave your session totally satisfied, head to toe. You know that you have worked out safely with your certified trainer on world class equipment, using a cutting edge method. Such a method which has the backing of medical and surgical professionals, alternative therapists, Masseurs, Physiotherapists, Chiropractors and Osteopaths and even one of Australia’s leading Personal Trainers! WOW!

Basically you workout with your trainer, 1:1. A huge signature of the method is that it is taught with specialised tactile cues. This means that every trainer across the world (there are around 3000) is certified and regulated to use Juliu’s own “hands-on” positions.

While you start usually with a sequence to free and strengthen your spine, any new client will come across handy ways to invigorate. the legs from sacrum to toes, connect with the abdominal muscles and let the energy flow freely in the body.

As you progress through the method your muscles will become leaner but stronger because you are working them in the most efficient way possible. Your posture will improve because you are looking at how to hold the body with the body and not just one part, and I’m pretty certain that you will enjoy the exercise component of the class too. All these benefits make it sound as though a class is a reading and writing affair, but in actual fact, the information is stored in your computer by immediate movement. You are exercising during the entire class. You will sweat, you will work out, just wait to rev up, WATCH OUT!

Unlike most conventional exercise machines where linear or isolated movement patterns are performed creating uncoordinated strength, the patented Pulley Tower emphasizes multiple joint articulations without compression, thus strengthening ligaments and each attachment.

The exercises are performed through spherical awareness and circularity of movement, enabling the user to perform under permanent guidance, variable controlled resistance, and real sports simulation with no limitation to speed and impact.
