What Can I Expect In My First GYROTONIC® Method Session?
We'll start by filling out some paperwork, so you might want to budget in an extra five minutes so you don't feel rushed through your session.
I'll address any questions or concerns you might have before we start. (Please feel free to continue to ask questions!)
We'll start seated with small motions to get you relaxed and acquainted with the types of movements we make. Then we'll move to the equipment, where you'll begin to experience the spiralling motions that are the foundation of GYROTONIC® movement. We'll move at your pace, but even if you catch on right away, this first session is about introducing the basics.
What should I wear?
Wear clothes that you can comfortably move and work out in.
You do not need to wear tennis shoes (we work without shoes) but do have a clean pair of socks with you.
Things that ARE NOT a good idea: Jeans or tight pants that constrict you, or skirts/dresses or loose shorts that might expose more than you want while we're doing legwork. Big flowy clothes that might get caught in the equipment.
Do I need to be in-shape/flexible to do the GYROTONIC® method?
You don't have to be in any particular condition to do the exercises. If you have particular health concerns, please consult your doctor about what kind of movements you should avoid so that we can approach your session in a safe manner.
You will use your muscles while you do these exercises! It will often feel like effort - but not in the way that lifting weights does or going to a high-intensity cardio class. Know that we always work at your level. If you ever experience pain while doing any of these exercises, let me know immediately so that we can correct and move forward safely.
Is your studio wheelchair accessible?
Unfortunately, no. There are several steps to climb to gain access to our studio. I'm afraid that we will not be able to serve you with a GYROTONIC® session on the equipment at this time.
However, I may be able to come to you with a personalized session. Obviously, I will not be able to bring the full pulley tower with me! But I have other options available. Email or call me to discuss how we can work with your needs.
