I'm an avid tennis player and I recently started going the Transformation Wellness Center to use the Gyrotonic method to help me with my mobility and flexibility. I have found Ryoko to be extremely knowledgeable and she has really helped me improve my flexibility, mobility, and core strength. I feel it has really helped my tennis and the quality of my life as well. I highly recommend the Transformation Wellness Center. Ryoko is patient and knows what types of exercises I need to focus on.

The Transformation Wellness Center that is run by Ryoko, has done exactly that - transformed my wellness! i have known Ryoko for 25 years and I have trained with her from the very beginning. She is an EXCEPTIONAL instructor who is truly and wholeheartedly concerned about helping the well-being and health of others. I would say it is one of her missions in life. Having lupus for over 15 years and being with her from the beginning of that journey – I can testify that without Gyrotonic exercise I would not be moving and most likely be miserably uncomfortable in my body. I am 53 years old and I am able to move freely, stay active with my adult children and I am now able to keep up with my 3 very, very active toddler grandsons, along with carry them with NO PAIN! With all things in life, you get out what you put it in, you also get what you pay for! For me and my life with my family, it is priceless and imperative that I never stay stagnant- I want to keep going FOREVER! Ryoko is a KEY COMPONENT of that mission!!!

Love love Gyrotonic exercise and Ryoko! I was looking for a personal trainer, but did not want to do the typical work out. I was never the type to be able to commit to any fitness centers or work out of any kind except for some home training. I randomly came across watching someone on YouTube doing a Gyrotonic work out, and I just knew it was what I needed in my life. Kept searching and searching, and found Ryoko was conveniently located close to my home. It’s already been over a year, and I do not have any plans of stopping my sessions with her. Ryoko is a wonderful instructor, super patient, and detailed (she will not rest until you are in THE perfect position.) I am so happy I took up Gyrotonic, I always look forward to my twice weekly sessions. It has really helped my body stay fit, strengthened my posture, and strengthened my core. To me, Gyrotonic exercise feels better than a massage. The whole work out really works you from the inside out, releasing all the built up tensions in your muscles. I am so grateful that I found Ryoko and the Gyrotonic method!

Ryoko Gibson has been instructing me at the Transformation Wellness Center for more than five years. She has a great knowledge of the body and Gyrotonic exercise. Ryoko has a great attitude and is a very good instructor. I have felt this instruction has benefited my joints and muscles and helps me to stay in shape. She challenges me without damaging my body. I think this exercise not only keeps my body toned but also challenges my mind. I hope that Gyrotonic exercise with Ryoko will help keep me fit long into my 70s and 80s. Sunee Madsen

I'm glad to have found Gyrotonic exercise at the Transformation Wellness Center, as its improved my flexibility and overall quality of life. Most of the class is completed while sitting on a stool and stretching, while the remainder of the class involves balance and weight lifting. I used to suffer from low back pain, but since doing the exercises in class and at home that pain has since been relieved. Thanks Ryoko for being such a great teacher.

My name is Donna and I have been taking the Gyrotonic classes for many years. It is a mind and body exercise. I use some of the techniques in my daily life and I see the benefits in my body. I have more energy and I feel stronger. I recommend the Gyrotonic method whole heartedly!

Working on core and posture for over one year now. Seeing improvements in both areas. Getting stronger with each day. Building muscle strength with each session. If you want a stronger body and better core strength, this is the place to go.

Ryoko who is the instructor changed my body balance. I really appreciate her hard work for me.

Love this place and Ryoko is a great trainer! Highly recommend!

Ryoko has been my "Gyrotonic" instructor for almost 20 years! Her knowledge of using the Gyrotonic method to help me gain more strength and flexibility has been invaluable to my health. I just turned 70!

Ryoko is so knowledgeable! She helped correct my posture and her Gyrotonic exercises made me feel amazing! It's a delicate balance to improve your flexibility, loosen your joints while also strengthening your muscles.

Ryoko is a wonderful teacher and the classes are so great for strength, balance, relaxation...its exercise but it feels like a spiritual experience!

This is a great place to transform your body and your sense of personal power. Ryoko is a dynamic, fun expert teacher.

I had great experiences there. The studio is so beautiful and relaxing atmosphere... Ryoko is such a great instructor...! The Gyrotonic method is something anyone can try, great method to strengthen your body.

I first started Gyrotonic exercise when I was in a slump in my exercise / movement life. I still loved and believed in everything I was doing (yoga, ballet, Pilates, personal training), and yet, I wanted to dive into something really different. So I contacted Ryoko to begin Gyrotonic exercises. Trying the Gyrotonic method at first really made me feel so uncoordinated - which was good! Gyrotonic exercises were waking up my body and mind to new feelings, new challenges, new movements outside of all the training I already had. Now, these many years later, the learning continues, and I love it! I feel rejuvenated, lighter, taller, stronger, after each session, and I enjoy the sense of accomplishment I get when Ryoko takes me into a new exercise. She’s a great teacher, with a good sense of what you can really do. The sessions are never routine. Ryoko tailors each workout to where you are on that day, what you need, what will be the most beneficial for your body and your mind. My advice for someone thinking of doing Gyrotonic exercises? Do it. Give yourself the time and space to learn about yourself in a totally new way. Be patient with the movements and your own ability to execute them. Then, have fun with how great you feel doing all that you enjoy.
