Husband and wife, Brian and Debbie, who are both in their mid 90s, started Gyrotonic with John Gasston at Healthhaus earlier this year after it was recommended by their daughter.
“We have noticed significant improvements already. It’s wonderful for Debbie‘s back because the problem at our age is that you tend to get spinal curves. Doing Gyrotonic has straightened and loosened up the spine dramatically.”
Compared to Equipment Pilates, which Brian and Debbie found a little too strong, Gyrotonic is more gentle yet delivers the flexibility, strength and mobility results they want. An unexpected benefit of Gyrotonic is noticing improvements in coordination and balance.
“If you were doing just one thing that’s very easy but when you’ve got to link multiple movements and positions, it is the synchronisation that is the problem.”
Everyone can benefit from this unique movement method designed to activate and stimulate the entire body and Brian and Debbie recommend you give it a try:
“The results are quite amazing. John is very, very patient. He is a very special and kind person and we are fortunate to have him here on the island. We will continue training on a regular basis now.”
Say hello to Gyrotonic®, a unique movement method designed to activate and stimulate your entire body.
Combining flowing movements and specialised equipment, the Gyrotonic® Method opens up energy pathways, stimulates the nervous system and improves mobility, strength and movement.
This original approach focuses on the body’s natural range of motion without any jarring or compression. It means almost everyone can benefit from this carefully crafted movement method including those with reduced mobility or recovering from injury.
We welcome both members and non-members to our Movement Studio which includes both Gyrotonic and Equipment Pilates.

John’s Story
Many people believe that back problems are an inevitable symptom of ageing and accept the grumbling aches and pains that increase with each decade. But that’s not the case. And who better to demonstrate this than John Gasston who guides, teaches and inspires his GYROTONIC® clients each week with a wealth of knowledge and experience.
To start John’s story, we’ll go back to the early 2000s to the moment he first heard about GYROTONIC®: a method of pulley straps, wheels and resistance weights to exercise the entire body. Continue reading
“I have enjoyed the gentle stretching and flowing exercises of Gyrotonic for many months. It has been especially beneficial for my rehabilitation since having left foot reconstruction surgery and then a torn rotator cuff to my right shoulder. John tailors exercises to my needs and abilities, avoiding pain and encouraging progressive healing and increasing muscle strength, range of movement and flexibility.” - Lynda, April 2025
