“Using nature as his model and experience as his teacher, GYROTONIC® Creator, Juliu Horvath began creating a unique and innovative line of exercise equipment in the early 1980’s.”
“Pilates is complete coordination of body, mind and spirit.”
The innovative line of GYROTONIC® equipment is crafted with high quality, commercial grade materials and is designed according to the exacting standards of Juliu Horvath, who is still actively creating, improving and expanding on existing designs. Jului often affectionately refers to the equipment as “The Instruments”.
The GYROTONIC® Pulley Tower Combination Unit was the first unit of Gyrotonic equipment to be sold to the public. In 1991, Horvath introduced a line of specialized equipment- The Jumping Stretching Board, the Archway, the Leg Extension Unit, and the GYROTONER® . Each unit of specialized equipment has its own unique features and functions, providing an extensive range of exercise options.

PULLEY TOWER COMBINATION UNIT
The GYROTONIC® Pulley Tower Combination Unit is the result of over thirty years of research and development, and is the most widely used piece of GYROTONIC® Equipment. The pulley tower provides smooth, even support and resistance via a unique, weighted pulley system. The adjustable bench and rotating handle unit can be customized to fit the individual proportions, and movement capacities of each user. The design of the equipment supports the full, and natural range of motion of the joints, allowing for three-dimensional, functional movement, and eliminating the sharp starts and stops where most injury occurs.
GYROTONER
The GYROTONER® facilitates hip, and shoulder articulation in a myriad of different planes. It is an especially useful piece of GYROTONIC® equipment for mobilizing the thoracic spine, and for coordinating hip, and shoulder movements with the spine.
JUMP STRETCHING BOARD
A diverse range of standing exercises improve flexibility, coordination, and functional strength. The ergonomic, gliding platform allows users to experience running, and jumping in a low impact, horizontal plane, with the spine and pelvis fully supported, making it ideal for post injury exercise. Four independent gliding slides, with optional rotating platforms, provide for challenging strength and coordination sequences.
LEG EXTENSION UNIT
The Leg Extension Unit facilitates functional full body movement sequences that strengthen upper/lower body coordination, and hand/foot coordination. Contra-lateral movement sequences in various planes increase functional strength and stability at all joints. A unique, patented, cam mechanism allows the leg to elongate, as it extends. So, the hip and knee joints are able to move in a fluid, natural range, without compression, increasing stability and strength around those joints.
THE ARCHWAY
The Archway is considered by many to be the most physically demanding piece of specialized equipment. The vertical, tiered ladder design of the Archway accommodates advanced strength and stability sequences by allowing users to perform exercises in various relationships to gravity- vertical, horizontal, diagonal, and inverted. The included propeller accessory, and adjustable arms provide standing, and rotation exercises for people of various abilities- beginners to advanced. The Archway is a great addition to any studio, and is especially popular with dancers, and other athletes.
