The Gyrotonic Expansion System was conceived by Juliu Horvath using key principles of gymnastics, swimming, ballet, and yoga by which, major muscle groups are worked in an integrated manner. The GYROTONIC® low impact fitness system utilizes specially designed equipment that is built around the human body. The equipment guides your movements with constant resistance along circular pathways that nurture the natural curves of the body. These rhythmic movements elongate the spine and rejuvenate the spirit, bringing the entire body and mind into balance. The motion patterns are natural, low impact and pure with no interruption, creating a bridge between contraction and expansion through the rotating movement of the joints.

Unlike most conventional exercise machines where linear or isolated movements are performed, the patented Gyrotonic Expansion System emphasizes multiple joint articulations without compression. Currently, the Gyrotonic Expansion System is used worldwide delivering great success with dancers, athletes, rehabilitation facilities, as well as general conditioning for people of all walks of life, age and health.

The Gyrotonic Expansion System® works for anyone wishing to gain strength, flexibility and coordination. It is now found in rehabilitation centers, dance studios, sports training and fitness facilities around the world.

A certified GYROTONIC instructor views an injured body part as only one of possibly many focal points on the body when attempting to apply corrective movements and exercises. The patient is treated more holistically, in that the healing capacity of the entire body is increased and can thus function more optimally. By using an approach that is all-inclusive, the patient, with the aid of the GYROTONICs, can begin to treat the ailing part or parts that now have the support of the whole body, as opposed to using an approach that addresses the part only.
