Hey, guys. I wanted to start today with a little discussion about what Gyrotonic is and how it’s related to Pilates. I frequently get asked questions.
What is Gyrotonic?
Is it similar to Pilates?
And so I wanted to go over a little bit of a description of the two and describe them.
Pilates is pretty commonplace, a very common name that most people have heard of. Gyrotonic is still very unknown and not a well-known modality of exercise. Pilates, we like to say, is very linear. It was developed in the early 1900’s and became popular in the late 1900’s. So the reformer had its patent, the main Pilates machine had its patent in 1927. So it’s been around a long, long time, not a fad, not going away. Okay, it’s not going away.
Gyrotonic has been around since the ’70s, and it has its own specialized unique equipment as well. It’s different. Most of it is based on rotation and spirals. So it has very little linear work in the Gyrotonic method, like Pilates.
Also, Gyrotonic is very much a sitting modality. So people will sit and do lots of the strengthening and the spinal mobilization and articulation in a sitting position versus laying down, which is most common in Pilates. So that’s a little bit of the difference.
We have lots of folks that show up because they know what Pilates is and they know we use it for physical therapy, and we use it for fitness. But once people are exposed to Gyrotonic, it’s really what people love. Not to say they don’t love Pilates. Again, it’s different, but they’re very similar in ways but very different in ways. And the similarities are based on the mental aspect and paying attention and working from the mind, and working from your body as a whole, not just working, isolating one little muscle.
So now what I want to do is I wanna take you around the studio and show you a class that’s going on. We have three people in the class, Gyrotonic tower classes they’re called. And then Cheryl, my wife, is in the process of doing a teacher training. So she is teaching three ladies to become Gyrotonic teachers. So it’s a certification process. They’re in what’s called the Level One Foundation, and they’re in day 11 of 12. So they’re almost done and probably getting about tired of being in here learning this.
So I’m gonna take you around the studio and show you a little bit of what’s going on in our Gyrotonic class and the Gyrotonic training. So give me one second. All right.

And that’s it, guys. I just want to again show you a little quick view of the…what Gyrotonic is in action. Cheryl was out there teaching three ladies that will become certified over the next six months to become teachers. They will be apprentices available real soon to work here. And then there were three people in that group class that was being led by Alexis. So that’s it for today. Leave your comments below. If you have any questions about it, I’ll be sure to reach out to you and answer them. And I hope all is well. Have a great day.
