Gyrotonic® Training MunichThe Revolutionary Movement Method
Discover the Gyrotonic® System - a unique training method that revolutionizes strength, flexibility and coordination through flowing, three-dimensional movements. In Munich with Anima Henn.
What is Gyrotonic® Training?
The Gyrotonic® System was developed by former dancer Juliu Horvath and revolutionizes movement training. It combines principles from yoga, dance, gymnastics, swimming and Tai Chi into a unique, three-dimensional training system.
Unlike conventional training methods, Gyrotonic® works with circular, spiral movement patterns that correspond to the natural anatomy of the body. The specially developed equipment enables uniform resistance in all directions.
The Unique Benefits of Gyrotonic® Training

The History Behind Gyrotonic®
The revolutionary Gyrotonic® System was developed in the 1980s by former ballet dancer Juliu Horvath. After an Achilles tendon injury ended his dance career, he sought a method that could heal and strengthen his body.
Born Out of Necessity
Horvath combined his experiences from ballet, yoga, swimming, gymnastics, and Tai Chi into a completely new movement system. He recognized that the human body functions in spiral, three-dimensional patterns - not in the linear movements of conventional training methods.
The development of the specialized equipment took years. The centerpiece - the Pulley Tower - enables uniform resistance in all directions while supporting the body's natural movement patterns.
Scientific Principles
- Spiral dynamics of the spine
- Fascial training through 3D movements
- Neuroplasticity through complex patterns
- Breath physiology & movement rhythm
- Proprioception & body awareness

What Makes Gyrotonic® So Unique?
The Science Behind It
Gyrotonic® is based on the understanding that the human body functions in spiral, three-dimensional patterns. This insight revolutionizes training:
Constant Resistance
Unlike conventional weights that only work at certain angles, the Gyrotonic® system provides uniform resistance throughout the entire movement.
Fascial Training
The 3D movements optimally stimulate the fascial system and improve the elasticity and suppleness of the entire musculoskeletal system.
Neuroplasticity
Complex movement patterns promote neuroplasticity and sustainably improve coordination between brain and muscles.
Breath Integration
Each movement is coordinated with a specific breathing pattern, which increases efficiency and reduces stress.
Therapeutic Applications
Back Problems
Gentle decompression and mobilization of the spine
Joint Problems
Improvement of joint mobility without compression
Sports Injuries
Rehabilitation and prevention through functional movements
Stress & Tension
Relaxation through conscious movement and breathing
Why You Need a Certified Gyrotonic® Trainer
Precision is Crucial
Gyrotonic® is far more than just movement - it's a precise method that requires years of training and experience. A certified trainer makes the crucial difference.
Individual Adaptation
Every body is unique. An experienced trainer recognizes your specific needs and precisely adapts each exercise to your anatomy and goals.
Correct Execution
The complex 3D movements require precise coordination of breathing, posture, and movement flow. Incorrect execution can be counterproductive.
Progression & Safety
A qualified trainer develops a structured training plan and ensures safe progression without overexertion or risk of injury.
