Membership
Our goal is to help you develop optimal strength, flexibility, balance, range of motion, and a strong mind-body connection through the practice of Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis exercise. We encourage our clients to learn the principles of this discipline of movement and make them their own, committing to consistent and mindful practice, for optimal results.
From this philosophy stems the concept of Membership


Gyrotonic Membership
Individual Gyrotonic Membership: To clients who intend to seriously embrace Gyrotonic exercise as a practice, we offer a monthly membership that reduces the cost of individual sessions from $85 to $50. The (minimum) $200 Membership fee covers one month of Gyrotonic practice at one session per week. If a client desires or needs more than one session per week, the cost of each of those additional sessions will also be $50. Membership fees are due in advance at the beginning of each month and are not refundable. However, the sessions paid for and not scheduled within the month will be honored the following month. Sessions canceled up to 24h in advance will be rescheduled at a mutually convenient time with the trainer. Sessions missed without notice will not be rescheduled or reimbursed.
Gyrotonic Sessions For Two Membership: clients can share a membership with a family member or a friend after a period of individual memberships and one-on-one sessions to familiarize themselves with the principles of the discipline. With a Gyrotonic Sessions For Two Membership, two clients can share the cost of a membership and the sessions, utilizing both towers in the studio and working under the guidance and supervision of the trainer.
The cost of a session is the same whether or not both clients are present to all sessions. In other words, the cost of one hour of the trainer's time remains the same no matter whether that time is spent with one client or two.
Self-Directed Practice: Advanced clients have the option of accessing the studio on their own for one hour at the time, for self-directed practice of Gyrotonic Exercise at the basic cost of rental of the studio and equipment ($10.00/hour). These self-directed practice sessions must be scheduled and paid for in advance just as regular sessions and the same rules of attendance apply. This is a good option for clients that require more than one session per week for long periods of time. Whether or not a client is ready for self-directed practice is determined at the sole discretion of the Trainer. All clients are encouraged to develop their skills in order to be eligible for self-directed practice, as this gives them an opportunity to settle on a two-sessions-per-week schedule at a much lower cost ($240 instead of $400 per month). We promote self-guided practice not just as a way to make Gyrotonic training more affordable, but most importantly as a tremendous learning opportunity for our clients.
All Memberships can be suspended when clients are going to be away for a month or more, and resumed at any time upon returning. If some paid classes remain when a membership is suspended, those will be honored when the client returns.
Gyrotonic Members have access to Gyrokinesis classes (held at the Studio or online) at no additional cost.
Gyrokinesis Membership
Gyrokinesis exercise is a full discipline of movement inspired by the same principles as Gyrotonic exercise (fluid, circular movements emanating from the spine and involving the entire body). Gyrokinesis exercise is performed in class format, utilizing a stool or chair and a mat, and using the body weight for resistance and balance.
Ideally, one should practice both Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis exercise as the two complement each other. However, some clients may prefer to take Gyrokinesis classes only. We offer a monthly Gyrokinesis membership of $50 that provides access to all the Gyrokinesis classes organized at the Studio for that month. As for the Gyrotonic membership, fees are due at the beginning of the month. Gyrokinesis membership fees are not refundable no matter how many classes a client attended in any one month: it is up to the client to make the most of his/her monthly membership. The Studio will organize at least 2 Gyrokinesis Classes per week.
