The GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® encompasses

GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® methodology.  

 Movements are performed in a three-dimensional, 

circular way, utilizing balanced recruitment 

of the body's muscle groups resulting in

an increased functional strength and

freedom of motion beneficial for 

 sports specific training, body

re-shaping, combating age or

injury related limitations in

mobility, developing 

coordination, increasing

flexibility and building

overall strength throughout

the body. GYROTONIC®

sessions are given utilizing

our pulley tower and the

jumping stretching board.  Both

pieces of equipment have been 

designed by GYROTONIC® creator

Juliu Horvath and made to his

specifications. These beautiful machines 

are intended to take the body through a full 

range of motion with consistent resistance, real sports simulation and low to no impact on the joints. Attention is given to increase the flexibility of the spine as well as strengthening the supporting muscles to result in a lengthened, injury resistant body. Breathing patterns are incorporated to deepen muscular engagement, stimulate the cardio-vascular system and boost endurance.

GYROKINESIS® classes use the same types of fluid movement during seated, standing and floor work without the machines.

The GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® was created by Juliu Horvath, a dancer and athlete. He danced from 1961-1978 including lead performances at the Timisoara Opera, New York City Opera, Radio City Music Hall and the Houston Ballet. His dance career was halted when Horvath suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon and major spinal issues. Yearning to rehabilitate his body and share this injury resistance and strength with other dancers, he began to develop what has become GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® methodology.  Juliu Horvath currently teaches world wide.  He oversees the educational process of all GYROTONIC® instructors.  In addition to their initial certification process, our teachers are also involved in various forms of continuing education such as training in therapeutic GYROTONIC® application for rehabilitation and sports and dance skill enhancement .
