Current Equipment Featured In The GYROTONIC® ĀNANDA Studio
GYROTONIC® Pully Tower
The GYROTONIC® Pulley Tower Combination Unit is the result of over 30 years of research and development, and is the most widely used Unit of Gyrotonic equipment. The Pulley Tower provides smooth, even support and resistance via a unique, weighted pulley system. The design of the equipment supports the full and natural range of motion of the joints, allowing for three-dimensional, functional movement, eliminating the sharp starts and stops where most injury occurs.
GYROTONIC® Leg Extension
The GYROTONIC® 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. Hand/foot straps, and lightweight aluminum Wing Master accessory included.
GYROTONIC® Jumping Stretching Board
A broad range of exercise sequences and modification options make the GYROTONIC® Jumping-Stretching Board accessible to people of all levels of strength and flexibility.
Jumping-Stretching Board exercise sequences are composed of full body, functional exercises, performed in a variety of body positions- kneeling, standing, lying and sitting. 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.
