Gyrotonic Method - A brief history
Complete a minimum of 10 private GYROTONIC/ Pilate sessions with our trainer
The Gyrotonic Expansion System® works for anyone wishing to gain strength, flexibility and coordination. It is now found in rehabilitation centers, dance studios, sports training and fitness facilities all over the world.
It is used by straddling the GYROTONER® seat or standing alongside it. The exerciser places a hand on each handle and practices the "arch and curl." Movements work the spine's ability to move and twist as required in daily life, open up the intercostals [the short muscles between the ribs] and tighten the oblique abdominals. Another move, a figure eight, requires more coordination. Placing two hands on one wheel handle, the exerciser stirs the wheel around and around stretching the spine and challenging the body to move in wider and wider circles. Other exercises challenge the lower extremities, arms and shoulders. Sports specific training (including swimming, tennis and golf) as well as gentle therapy, are very much part of the repertoire.

Although only recently having been "rediscovered" by the athletic community, PILATES offers one of the more optimum methods for conditioning the body. Comprised of over 500 movements performed on specialized equipment, PILATES stretches and tones muscles while reducing tension and strain from the joints and lower back. The result is an increase in strength, grace, energy and flexibility.

It dramatically and rapidly improves strength, flexibility, posture and overall alignment of the musculature and skeleton without increasing bulk. It is an indispensable tool for athletes and unconditioned people alike enabling them to develop coordination, aesthetic form, strength and balanced posture.

Therefore, our trainer may suggest that you continue with your private or semi-private sessions until you have mastered the exercises and can do them safely on you own.Workouts are custom designed to meet each client's goals and no two workouts are the same. Pilates is a life-long process of training your body with an expectation of health and wellness.

Utilizing his phenomenal intuitive sense of the correct physiological use of the body, Joseph Pilates developed over 500 effective and specific exercises to be performed on his uniquely designed variable resistance spring controlled apparatus-the reformer, the trapeze table, the wonder chair and barrels.

The GYROTONER®, the only one in Asia, is a remarkable piece of equipment that looks like a Harley Davidson. A brand new addition to the range of Gyrotonic® equipment available to clients at Iso Fit.
Soon after defecting to the US in the late 1960's, Juliu gave up dancing in order to pursue the study of yoga. He soon realized that he could successfully combine the benefits of all these disciplines - swimming, gymnastics, yoga and dance - into one exercise system in which all the major muscle groups work interdependently and in an integrated manner. Together with this concept he created his first exercise machine, a truly innovative and unique piece of work-the Pulley Tower Combination Unit.

During the First World War, as he was a German citizen, Joseph was interned in England and during that period he worked as a nurse. While tending immobilized patients, he designed exercise apparatus using springs attached to hospital beds. These machines and the exercises that he developed for them were to become the nucleus of his body conditioning method. After the war he moved to New York and opened his first "Contrology" studio there in 1926.
Over the years he has added several other machines to his range, all equally innovative and effective in maximizing the benefits of the exercises performed on them.
