The Gyrotonic Expansion System incorporates weighted pulley systems, two independent handles and a bench which can be adapted to each individual client’s physique.

It was designed by Juliu Horvath in the 1980’s when, too injured to continue his ballet career, he spent time regaining his health through exercise. Juliu reflected on his needs as a dancer and recognised the value of three dimensional movements. This led to the unique design of the tower and bench unit.

The equipment offers support when moving through three dimensional patterns. The design enables fluid movements and the weights are used for assistance rather than resistance.

The principle of all the Gyrokinesis and Gyrotonic exercises is to use three dimensional patterns of movement. This is natural for the body and the reason why the exercises are so effective and enjoyable.
