We are a GYROTONIC® and the GYROKINESIS® certified studio in the center of Amsterdam.
The GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® is composed of: the GYROTONIC® and the GYROKINESIS® exercise methods. GYROTONIC® is performed on the equipment, GYROKINESIS® without.
Initially it was known as ‘Yoga for Dancers’ and is a holistic exercise method that involves using all the body parts simultaneously, focusing on mobilising the spine and joints, reaching the organs.
The approach is often mistakenly compared to, or considered the same as, Pilates. However, the GYROTONIC® method (gyro: circle and tonic: strength) involves three-dimensional movements and respects the body’s natural breathing and biomechanics. The method, which is inspired by yoga, dance, tai-chi, gymnastics and even swimming, is innovative and unique.
The methods allows you to both stretch and strengthen the key muscle groups that are responsible for movement as well as the deepest muscles that control coordination.
Each movement flows into the next, allowing the joints to move through a natural range of motion without jarring or compression. These carefully crafted sequences create balance, efficiency and strength.
The result is less body pain and restriction, a stronger core, better posture, more flexibility, leaner muscles and an overall ease of movement. You will have more body awareness throughout your day and will continue to reap the benefits of each session long after it is over.
Performed either on a machine (GYROTONIC®) or without (GYROKINESIS®), GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® is truly designed for any-body of any age, it is gentle on the joints and easily adjusted to any fitness level.

Our equipment
Pulley Tower Combination Unit
The GYROTONIC® Pulley Tower Combination Unit is the result of over thirty years of research and development, and is the most widely used piece of Gyrotonic Equipment.
The Pulley Tower provides smooth, even support and resistance via a unique, weighted pulley system. The adjustable bench and rotating handle unit can be customized to fit the individual proportions and movement capacities of each user.
The design of the equipment supports the full and natural range of motion of the joints, allowing for three-dimensional, functional movement, thus eliminating the sharp starts and stops where most injury occurs.
