We\u2019ll explain: While gyrotonics is being dubbed the next big thing on the workout front according to online media, it\u2019s not new. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/classpass.com\/blog\/2014\/07\/31\/gyrotonics-101\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gyrotonics<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has actually been around for years, and it\u2019s been a proven workout for dancers, swimmers and gymnasts. It allows for greater range of motion in <a href=\"https:\/\/classpass.com\/blog\/classpass-glossary-gyrotonics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">exercises<\/a>, which can help build strong joints and their respective muscle groups.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>You should try Pilates first to prepare.<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not the case! Gyrotonics, like any workout, is safe for beginners too. Just like Pilates, classes are small to allow for proper instruction and supervision. Both forms of exercise are great, and one doesn\u2019t necessarily need to come before the other. If it\u2019s your first class on an apparatus, head to class a few minutes earlier to meet your instructor. We love meeting you and giving you a quick tour of what to expect \u2014 it\u2019s important you feel safe and totally pumped!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>It\u2019s harder on your joints than a reformer.<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is tricky, and can be easily assumed by looking at the equipment. However, it\u2019s definitely false. Here\u2019s why: Gyrotonics exercises actually do quite the opposite. They take the pressure off your joints and help build more mobility within them. Additionally, if you spend long hours behind a desk, it\u2019s an excellent way to undo the damage from sitting all day. Here\u2019s how: It helps build strength in your spine and the exercises even help you achieve better posture!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not so bad, right? If gyrontonics is new to you, try swapping it with your favorite Pilates class \u2014 you\u2019ll see new and major improvements in your other workouts.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gyrotonics definitely has an intimidating ring to it, but don\u2019t let the first glance fool you!
