What is the difference between gyrotonics and Pilates?

Pilates focuses on key alignment issues. It uses your muscular, skeletal and nervous system to re-educate movement patterns within the body. GYROTONIC® focuses on your muscle, fascia, skeletal and nervous systems as well as your energetic body.

What is gyrotonics good for?

Gyrotonics is beneficial for anyone suffering from joint pain because the unique way of securing the pulleys on the GXS machines allows movement without impact. The major muscle groups work together as well as interdependently, which, over time, leads to increased coordination with more efficient muscle recruitment.

What is a Gyrotonic workout?
