“I must be right. Never an aspirin. Never injured a day in my life. The whole country, the whole world, should be doing my exercises. They’d be happier.”

Joseph Hubertus Pilates, in 1965, age 86.

 

Pilates is a precision based form of exercise which first focuses on the core muscles, referred to as the “powerhouse” and then branches to strengthen and tone the entire body. The technique improves flexibility and muscular symmetry while emphasizing balance and control. Pilates accentuates quality of movement over quantity to promote the developement of lean, long muscles and powerful mind-body control. The Pilates exercises consist of both mat and machine work.

The fundamentals of the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® consists of a totally new exercise technique using GYROKINESIS® principles (floor and stool based exercises) as the basis to exercise the musculature while mobilizing and articulating the joints. The equipment is built around the human body with all regards to total freedom in movement, no restriction to speed and versatility, and enhances rather than distracts from coordination, strength and flexibility.

GYROKINESIS® movements focus on the spiraling and undulations of the body and spine while opening the joints. It is an experience unlike any other type of conditioning regime. GYROTONIC® training moves the work onto specialized equipment including the Gyrotonic Pully Tower.

The Pilates Suspension Method (PSM) takes Pilates mat and equipment based exercises and performs them on a suspension trainer, like TRX. Much like traditional Pilates equipment classes, PSM classes provide a full body workout that challenges your stability and flexibility, while maintaining the integrity of the Pilates method.
