Gyrotonic exercise method is one of the two components besides Gyrokinesis exercise method that compose the Gyrotonic Expansion System. Gyrotonic method makes use of specialized equipment, which permits the trainer to move with resistance and support. The sequences entails in this method are meant to increase functional capability of an organism harmoniously. It embraces key principles that can also be found in yoga, gymnastics, tai chi, dance, and swimming.

In gyrotonic training, continuous, flowing motion are emphasized together with synchronized breathing patterns. One can attend sessions in private gyrotonic training in fitness facilities such as studios and gyms. These facilities also provide group sessions besides private ones. Group sessions are administered by one or multiple trainers to several trainees.

The development of gyrotonic expansion system was done by someone named Juliu Horvath. He is of Hungarian ethnicity and a citizen of Romania. Year of chronic injury drove him to develop this system. Initially, he worked as a gymnast and dancer. In his 20s he had become a ballet dancer with the Opera house of Romania. The US granted him asylum after he defected from Romania. He also lived in a refugee camp in Italy for months.

The herniation of vertebral disc in the back of Juliu ended his career as a dancer. He needed to rehabilitate the injuries so much that he moved to the Virgin Islands. While living on the island he began to practice yoga and meditation. He would spend the better part of the next 6 years in deep meditation and yoga. While devoted to the life of yoga and meditation, Horvath working on the Yoga of Dancers.

From the Virgin Islands, Horvath went back to New York and started to teach the new method he had developed. He became the first person to establish a Gyrotonic studio in 1984. The classes offered by Horvath were mostly suited for professional dancers. However, the demand soon grew and the number of clients increase exponentially. To cater for the increased demand, Horvath refined routines in his classes to suit every client despite age, body size, or health condition. The new method was called the Gyrokinesis Method.

Practicing this method presents several benefits to an individual. Among these benefits are enhanced circulation, cardiovascular stimulation, and increased mobility of joints. Other benefits include strengthening of nervous system, enhanced sense perception, mobilization of spine, flow of energy, enhanced coordination, greater balance, and stimulation. The levels to which these benefits are acquired vary among people.

The specialized equipment needed for gyrotonic training was also developed by Horvath. In fact, all models of this device, which are currently available were developed by Horvath. The design of the equipment is such that it can accommodate natural body movements the body can make. A curvilinear wooden framework is usually included into the design. Customization is possible through the many adjustments the device incorporates. Customization is meant to allow the machine to accommodate different physiques and levels of physical fitness.

Trainers use five major models of the device on a commercial scale. The Pulley Tower Combination Unit is the one in widest use compared to the other 4 versionas. The other four units are normally classified as specialized equipment. The four models are the Jumping Stretching Board, Leg Extension Unit, Gyrotoner, and Archway.
