What is the difference between Pilates and Gyrotonic exercise?

Pilates works in a more linear motion, energy in a line must eventually give out. The Gyrotonic Training System works in a circular motion, when energy moves in a circle it is forever continuous and self-renewing. The Gyrotonic system has a significant emphasis on increasing the functional capacity of the spine, and focuses on joint articulation, building coordination, strength and flexibility.

How often should I do Gyrotonic training?

How often you do the Gyrotonic method of exercise depends on you and how far you want to take your body, and how fast.  Most clients feel best when they come for a session once or twice a week, while others prefer coming 3-4 times a week to achieve and maintain maximum results. It’s entirely up to you and your comfort level!
