Gyrotonic | Gyrotonic Expansion System | GXS

GYROTONIC, aka Gyrotonic Expansion System or GXS, is an exercise system created by Juliu Horvath, who was trained as a ballet dancer.

Juliu Horvath sought asylum in the United States in the 1960s and developed the Gyrotonic system there, after an injured Achilles tendon brought his dance career to a halt.

GYROTONIC exercises employ movements found in swimming, yoga, gymnastics, and tai chi, using specialized machines developed by Juliu Horvath. The system is intended to improve flexibility and balance as well as muscle strength, and to increase overall flexibility and mobility in joints.
