GYROTONIC® VENTURA

GYROTONIC® Ventura was established in 2013 offering personalized training that utilizes the somatic and whole-body approach of “The GYROTONIC® Expansion System” to people from all walks of life including accomplished athletes, dancers, fitness enthusiasts, senior citizens, and people recovering from an injury or navigating a disability. Unlike most conventional exercise equipment where linear or isolated movements are performed, the Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis utilize isometric exercise with spinal articulation to move the body beyond limitations, increase one’s core strength, mobility and balance;  stimulating circulation, neuroplasticity and fascial body.

About THE GYROTONIC® METHOD

Conceived by Juliu Horvath using key principles of gymnastics, swimming, ballet, and yoga movement applications. The system is supported by equipment designed around the human body to allow total freedom in movement, without restriction of speed or versatility, thereby enhancing coordination, strength and flexibility.

The trainers at GYROTONIC® Ventura are licensed and certified professionals with backgrounds in physical therapy, dance, sports and fitness.  We develop individual programs to help you become the strongest, healthiest you you can be.

About Michele

My career in dance started at the age of 6 and continued with dancing professionally until an injury sparked my interest in how the body heals and functions. I then became a Physical Therapist where I witnessed the powerful effect that proper body alignment and precise, correct execution of exercise and movement, have on quality of life and healthy aging. I thoroughly enjoy incorporating my skills as a PT into my training sessions, working together to meet each client’s specific needs and goals.

Michele has practiced the Gyrotonic® Method for over 9 years, is a licensed Physical Therapist and is certified in Gyrotonic Level 1. In addition to Gyrotonic® training, Michele offers services in posture and body alignment assessment, soft tissue and neurologic training. Michele holds a Master of Science degree in Physical Therapy with an emphasis in Manual Therapy and a Bachelor of Science degree in Sports Medicine.
