I found Gyrotonic Method exercise based upon the recommendation of my chiropractor who essentially said “go see this guy” because I was still experiencing muscle pain despite adequate adjustments. “This guy” was Rich O’Connor who is an inspiring and positive teacher. Through private lessons and group classes, I have become a believer in Gyrotonic Method as a way to strengthen and move your body in a healthy way.Gyrotonic has reduced my chronic neck and back pain throug h full body exercises that are gentle yet strengthening at the same time. I am now more aware of my posture and how to correct it during daily activities.

Rich excels in his knowledge of          body movement and techniques to reduce the problems created by our modern society of too much sitting and technology use. Rich and his fellow instructors provide a welcoming environment and have never made me feel silly for forgetting the moves or having difficulty learning a new exercise. And above all, I genuinely enjoy my experience every time.

I’ve been a pilates client of Jennifer Ball’s for several years, and have recently incorporated Gyrotonic Method into my routine with the help of master trainer Rich O’Connor. My work with Jennifer through the years has given me so many tools that help me live more healthily in my body. To be able to add Rich’s expertise and the transformative work of Gyrotonic Method has been a true gift. I can’t recommend both instructors and the great work of the Movement Lab enough!

I am so thankful that I discovered The Movement Lab 2 years ago. Practicing the Gyrotonic Method has helped me keep my chronic hip and knee issues at bay so I can enjoy the outdoor activities that I love, such as mountain biking. I feel stronger and more balanced on the bike than ever before! I think the benefits of Gyrotonic Method would translate well to any type of fitness or outdoor hobby, and I frequently recommend it to my family and friends. I enjoy working with all of the instructors – I learn something new and leave the studio feeling better than when I came in every time!
