Pushes & Pulls

GYROTONIC Method is a holistic approach to movement designed to meet the needs of people of all ages, abilities and health conditions. It was created by Juliu Horvath, a Hungarian-born professional ballet dancer, and is based on principles of tai chi, swimming, dance, and yoga.

Some of the benefits that may be gained by practicing GYROTONIC and GYROKINESIS exercises include increased strength and flexibility, renewed energy and vitality, and a general sense of calm and well-being.The exercises are highly adaptable, making them accessible to everyone, regardless of age or physical ability.

Joseph Pilates created his unique workout system in the 1920's. All movement is initiated from the body's core, specifically the deep muscles of the abdomen and back. When the core muscles are strong, they stabilize the torso, support the spine, and allow the entire body to move freely and efficiently.

Private sessions provide the ideal opportunity for in-depth learning and practice. At Pushes and Pulls, we are able to tailor each workout to your individual fitness needs, goals and abilities. We recommend clients new to pilates take at least three private sessions before joining our group classes.

We have a 24-hour cancellation policy. If you cannot make your reserved session, you must cancel at least 24 hours in advance or you will be charged the full amount.
