Gyrotonic exercise method is one of the two components besides Gyrokinesis exercise method that compose the Gyrotonic Expansion System. Gyrotonic method makes use of specialized equipment, which permits the trainer to move with resistance and support. The sequences entails in this method are meant to increase functional capability of an organism harmoniously. It embraces key principles that can also be found in yoga, gymnastics, tai chi, dance, and swimming.

The emphasis of gyrotonic training is continuous, flowing motion with synchronized breathing patterns. Sessions in private gyrotonic training can be attended in gyms, studios and other fitness facilities. One can also find group sessions in these facilities. Group sessions involve several people and a single or multiple trainers.

The development of gyrotonic expansion system was done by someone named Juliu Horvath. He is of Hungarian ethnicity and a citizen of Romania. Year of chronic injury drove him to develop this system. Initially, he worked as a gymnast and dancer. In his 20s he had become a ballet dancer with the Opera house of Romania. The US granted him asylum after he defected from Romania. He also lived in a refugee camp in Italy for months.

Vertebral discs in the back of Horvath got herniated, ending his career in the process. He moved to the Virgin Islands to try and rehabilitate the injuries. While on the island, Harvoth devoted to a life of yoga. The next 6 years of his life were spent on yoga and serious meditation. He started the development of the Yoga of dancers while still devoted to this life.

Upon his return to New York City from the Virgin Islands, Horvath began to teach the new technique. He set up a gyrotonic studio in the year 1984. He became the first individual to set up such a facility. Most of his clients were professional dancers. His classes created a lot of demand very fast, to include people from different backgrounds. He had to redefine the routines he taught to accommodate clients with different health needs, age, and body size. He gave the name Gyrokinesis method to the refined routines.

People who practice this method benefit in many different ways. Some of the benefits accruing from the method include cardiovascular stimulation, increased mobility of joints, and enhanced circulation. Other benefits are enhanced sense perception, strengthening of nervous system, flow of energy, mobilization of spine, greater balance, stimulation, and enhanced coordination. People achieve this benefits to varying levels.

The specialized equipment needed for gyrotonic training was also developed by Horvath. In fact, all models of this device, which are currently available were developed by Horvath. The design of the equipment is such that it can accommodate natural body movements the body can make. A curvilinear wooden framework is usually included into the design. Customization is possible through the many adjustments the device incorporates. Customization is meant to allow the machine to accommodate different physiques and levels of physical fitness.

Only five models of this device are in commercial use by trainers. Out of all of them, the Pulley Tower Combination Unit is the commonest. The remaining four are usually classified as specialized equipment. They include the Jumping Stretching Board, the Leg Extension Unit, the Gyrotoner, and the Archway.
