PILATES & GYROTONIC®
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?
Pilates, originally called Contrology, is a two-dimensional exercise system developed in the early 1900s by Joseph Pilates in Europe and refined in the U.S. The method focuses on control, breath, and precise movement to address chronic pain and improve stability. After Joe Pilates' passing in 1967, Contrology was renamed Pilates. The six principles—centering, concentration, control, precision, breath, and flow—form the foundation of the practice. A consistent Pilates routine enhances overall functional movement, improving posture, flexibility, and strength."
The GYROTONIC® METHOD is a three-dimensional, circular movement system that strengthens the body’s core from the inside out. Focusing on connecting with the body’s energy centers, it helps ‘release’ tension and promote fluid motion. This method enhances functional strength, flexibility, coordination, and neuromuscular control, reshaping the body over time. Unlike Pilates, which uses spring-resistance equipment, GYROTONIC® utilizes a weight and pulley system for a dynamic, holistic workout.
