What is GYROTONIC®?
The GYROTONIC® Method consists of spherical movements that exercise the muscles, mobilize and articulate the joints, and stimulate and hydrate the fascia. This unique system simultaneously stretches and strengthens the body with easeful effort while increasing range of motion. The GYROTONIC® Pulley Tower was specifically designed to facilitate freedom of movement, coordination, strength, and flexibility with guided rhythmic motion.
You’ll feel a sense of connectedness throughout your body, along with freer, more fluid circulation.
As if you gave your body a massage through exercise with supported movement.

Stephanie Ciancio
Hello neighbours! My journey with the GYROTONIC® method began when I was searching for therapeutic movement exercise.
I had heard of the practice and seen towers tucked away in pilates studios in San Francisco. When I found a studio in San José, Costa Rica offering affordable group lessons, it felt like I had found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. The support of the tower and the handle unit brought grace and ease to my limbs and muscles. I felt joyful release in stretching and delicious challenge in gentle resistance. The rhythm of the exercises brought calm focus to my mind and emotions.
I spent three months driving three hours each week for the love of the practice. That became the foundation for professional courses on my path to becoming a certified GYROTONIC® trainer. I’m honoured to bring this movement modality to Machuca Valley — a gentle exercise elixir for body, mind and emotions.
