Pilates & GYROTONIC®
in Gunbarrel, CO.
The Method
KO Movement (KOMO) Studio is a home studio offering private, personalized instruction in the GYROTONIC® and Pilates methods. It is located in the Gunbarrel neighborhood of Boulder.
Gyrotonic is characterized by fluid, circular movements of the body and a flowing choreography that synchronizes movement and breath. It simultaneously increases range of motion and flexibility, while strengthening the body through its entire range of motion. It creates both spaciousness and strength in the body, and benefits both the physical and nervous systems.
Pilates is a system of strength-building that emphasizes alignment, core stability, and precision of movement. It helps create a foundation of strength, body awareness, and dynamic control that enables the body to remain organized throughout Gyrotonic’s expansive, multi-dimensional movements.
Sessions at KOMO Studio are tailored to the individual and suitable for all bodies and abilities. They benefit anyone looking to restore or improve strength, mobility, physical coordination, and nervous system health.
The Studio
KOMO Studio offers Gyrotonic and GYROTONER® exercises on the Ultima® XS Gyrotonic tower, stool- and mat-based GYROKINESIS®, as well as mat- and tower-based Pilates.
Gyrotonic equipment facilitates circular, spiraling movements of the body, and its use of a cable system allows for even resistance through an entire range of motion.
The Ultima® XS has an adjustable-height handle unit that can accommodate a wide range of body types and allows for a greater range of standing exercises. This is beneficial for many client populations, such as athletes, pregnant women, and those needing to build bone density.
The studio is also equipped with props, strength training equipment, and wall-mounted stall bars, which allow for most Pilates mat and tower–based exercises, as well as Gyrotonic Archway exercises.
