GYROTONIC® Kansas City Center is located in Kansas City’s beautiful West Plaza neighborhood, we provide a nurturing environment focused on you. Our highly qualified staff is dedicated to your individual health and fitness goals. Derived from the words gyro (spiral or circle) and tonic (to tone or invigorate), GYROTONIC® method is designed to enhance the body’s range of motion, coordination, and stamina. Conceived from the key principles of yoga, martial arts, gymnastics, and ballet, the exercises are performed on specialized equipment designed around the human body. Most conventional exercise machines work linear and isolated movement patterns, which create uncoordinated strength. GYROTONIC® exercises utilize natural and integrated, circular movements, guiding the muscles to flow smoothly between contraction and extension producing coordinated power, a strong center and balanced support throughout the entire skeletal system. Each exercise is synchronized with the breath to create a gentle or vigorous cardiovascular-aerobic workout, while the graceful and rhythmic movements simultaneously strengthen and lengthen all of the major muscle groups and joints. Special attention is paid to decrease compression in the spine and improve its alignment, flexibility and resiliency. This results in a well proportioned, long, lean body significantly less prone to injuries. Some of the benefits of GYROTONIC® training include:
-Increased strength, flexibility and stamina
-Healthier joint function
-Toned muscles
-Reduced tension in the neck and shoulders
-Improvement in posture and body alignment
-Deeper connection to the “core”; pelvic floor, low back, and abdominal muscles
-Increased circulation
-Better balance and coordination
-Faster recovery from sports and job related injuries
One GYROTONIC® session will leave you feeling longer, taller and energized. Through regular training, you will develop a greater range of motion, increased strength, and feel more at home in your body.
