Chou Tien Chen is a world-class badminton player from Taiwan, representing Chinese Taipei. He was a silver medalist at the 2018 Asian Games and winner of men’s singles in the Indonesia Open 2019.

"I have experienced many different kinds of movement methods. The Gyrotonic Method holds a very unique place in my training. Not only does it broaden my horizons on the court, it also helps me to understand my own body better. In particular, I’ve learned how to 'spiral,' which is essential in badminton playing."

What we find the most beautiful about our community are the unique stories of how master trainers, trainers and everyday movers first discovered the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM®. To honor that, we've started a new mini-series to highlight these amazing stories from people in our Gyrotonic community. Stay tuned as we feature more stories. ✨

What was your first experience with the Gyrotonic and/or Gyrokinesis Methods?

Our Gyrotonic Studio has now been open for 18 months. As a way of thanking our past and present clients for their support and to celebrate this occasion, we are holding an open day on Sunday 26th February 2023 between 2.00pm -5.00pm. We would love it if you would come and join us for a glass of bubbly and some nibbles!

If you have family and friends who would like to know about the Gyrotonic System, please pass on the date and time (or bring them with you!) so they can try out the unique Gyrotonic equipment and experience the movement system first hand. Our friendly team of instructors will be on hand to guide them through this process and answer any questions.

We look forward to celebrating with you and your friends and family on Sunday 26th February between 2.00pm - 5.00pm.

So this happened today. A big shout out to Roddy and Graham from Greenmove, they were fantastic

We're having a very busy weekend moving everything to Fabrice's studio. We want to make sure that you know where to come from Monday onwards.

Tuesday's thoughts are with all the fabulous master trainers we've been fortunate enough to have learnt from over the years. There's such a wealth of knowledge and experience in the GYROTONIC community and a real generosity of spirit. Every course has opened our minds and bodies. We're truly grateful.

A little more nostalgia 😍

29/08/2021

In 2008 we moved down the road to 16 Newton Place where we remained for 10 years. During this time some of our instructors got married, had Gyro babies, a couple of clients met at one of our Open evenings and subsequently got engaged, we managed a few Christmas nights out - mostly in May but above all we made sure our clients had fun while exercising. Happy times!

With only 1 week to go I'm sharing more memories, hope you don't mind!
From Craigie Hall we moved to the first of our Newton Place locations - the basement of no 9 and then 18 months later a move up to the first floor and the acquisition of a second Pulley Tower and the Jumping Stretch Board. Thanks to Anne Stephen and Lorna Pickford for being excellent 'Gyrotonic models'.

Who remembers coming to Gyrotonic sessions at the fabulous Craigie Hall?
Built in 1872 to a design by John Honeyman and subsequently reworked in part by John Keppie in 1892 it was further reworked by Charles Rennie Mackintosh(CRM) in 1897.
How lucky were we to have worked in this stunning building!

With only a couple of weeks left until Fabrice Maufrais Studio takes over I thought it would be fun to look back over the past 20 years of Penny Withers Studio. We started out in 2001 at Scottish Ballet when it was in West Princes Street and this was the article in the Herald that initially publicised the benefits of the system.
