Located in a field of wildflowers, The Movement Barn in Charlottesville, Virginia, provides private GYROTONIC® sessions in a picturesque setting. This unique workout is available for people of all ages and levels of ability.
What is the GYROTONIC® Method?
Created by professional dancer Juliu Horvath, the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® is a unique, holistic approach to movement and exercise.
This low impact system uses flowing exercises with circular and spiral motion to open energy pathways, stimulate the nervous system, strengthen and create space in the joints.
GYROTONIC® classes are designed to take the body beyond its current limitations. We all get into specific movement patterns throughout our daily life, and our body listens! When we have chronic pain or tension, or underdeveloped muscles due to our lifestyle, a trainer who can identify this and create a low-impact yet highly effective workout is so valuable!
Exercises are performed on the Pulley Tower Combination Unit, a large machine with cables and rotating discs that can be fully customized for each client’s size and level of strength.
Some of the results you can expect are increased freedom of movement, greater strength, and more agility.
GYROTONIC® trainers can create customized workouts based on your unique body type and health status, and they shape a plan to get you the specific results that you’re looking for.
Some of the benefits of a regular GYROTONIC® practice include:
- a healthier, more supple spine,
- increased range of motion,
- greater joint stability,
- improved agility and athletic performance
- and a deep internal strength
GYROTONIC® trainers offer personalized sessions that are adapted to fit the needs of all ages and abilities!
