instructor, weightlifting coach, personal trainer and gym/studio owner of Big Blue Strength, in Lexington, Kentucky, “Hatha yoga is a series of static pos- tures, whereas Pilates and Gyrotonic movements focus on flow, using equip- ment to enhance core strength, stability, control, coordination and flexibility. The difference is that Gyrotonic exer- cises works on three dimensions with every circular movement, like the body naturally moves. It uses weights and a pulley system, whereas Pilates is more linear and uses spring tension.” Jutras believes the Gyrotonic system, Pilates and yoga all comple- ment weightlifting and strength train- ing, affording a mind-body balance. “The body then experiences low- and high-threshold exercise, low-intensity and high-intensity, weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing activity,” she says. Crowley sees the Gyrotonic ap-
proach complementing virtually any activity. “The exercises help practitioners learn how to move more efficiently, eas- ily, powerfully, gracefully and success- fully in every facet of life.” The method is also offered without equipment in the form of Gyrokinesis, a flowing class done on a chair, mat and standing. This affordable option can be practiced independently at home. “My youngest client is 7, my oldest
is 94,” relates Crowley. “We have clients that have become bored by repetitive ex- ercise and enjoy the limitless variations of movements that keep both their minds and muscles alert. We have chronic pain clients that have exhausted other medical options and are improving their ability to function more optimally and enjoying their lives again.” Both Schrimpf and her husband,
Juan Trujillo, teach the Gyrotonic method. “Our greatest reward is the feedback we get. Once people try it, they’re hooked,” she says. “It transforms how people think about movement and brings a sense of joy and accomplish- ment. They feel their joints becoming more supple and balanced, and find their bodies responding well to the natu- ral movement patterns.”
