Gyrotonic Ann Arbor provides private training and group classes in the Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis system. Online group classes and private sessions are available. Aimee McDonald, a specialized Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis master trainer, former Pilates instructor trainer and former owner of The Movement Center for 15 years, is conducting training sessions beginning in February.

            Gyrotonic classes are designed to take the body beyond its current limitations. Participants gain increased freedom of movement, greater strength and more agility. Gyrotonic exercises are adapted to fit anyone’s ability, from those recovering from injury or living with a disability to elite athletes.

            This unique system of exercise incorporates movement principles from yoga, dance, gymnastics, swimming and tai chi. Central to this is the Gyrotonic Expansion System, or GXS, a device specially designed with rotational discs and weighted pulleys. Usually made as part of a wooden frame, this setup allows the exerciser to strengthen their muscles via a specific exercise incorporating circular and spiraling movement patterns to increase joint mobility, particularly in the spine.
