Coconut Grove is a place for
everyone. Our priority is to help
our clients reach their goals
whether they be to lose weight,
prepare for a race or competition,
improve weight lifting techniques,
or come back from an injury.
No matter where you are in
your health and fitness journey,
we are determined to help you.
We do not view setbacks or
roadblocks as negative rather as
opportunities for positive change
and new possibilities.
Rinaldi Performance and
GYROTONIC® Coconut Grove
offer, not only in South Florida
but worldwide, an opportunity
to exercise a different way
through the use of our in-house
or satellite program. Imagine a
training session during which you
felt challenged muscularly and
stimulated within but did not feel
the usual pain, stress, or tension
from weight-loading that a
regular
gym session would
produce.
You leave
GYROTONIC®
sessions feeling
more alive, awake,
and connected
to your body than
when you started.
It’s magical and
foreign to most
people. The beauty
in what we offer at
GYROTONIC®
Coconut
Grove is for
your body to experience a
healing training session using
all of our specialized equipment
meant to improve range of
motion, lubricate and stabilize
joints, strengthen surrounding
connective tendons and
ligaments, and relieve pain. It
gives back to your body its ability
to move freely while reducing
compressive pain and tension.
GYROTONIC® is one of the
only exercise techniques that
you noticeably improve while
performing it.
BACK PAIN & JOINT PAIN
RP & GCG specialize in training
that will tackle your problem
areas. I personally have had two
knee surgeries, one shoulder
surgery, three low back
stress fractures,
and countless
other joint and
muscle injuries
to deal with
throughout
my career.
Throughout
the 20 years
of my athletic
career, I worked
with the best in the
training and rehabilitation
fields and learned many valuable
lessons. One of these lessons was
“how to progress”—when to
push forward or push through
and when to slow down or
redirect training. This is vital
when working with a population
with injuries and/or limitations or
even high-performance athletes
that push their limits each day.
We have a specialized machine
called
THE GYROTONER®
that
has worked wonders
on helping our hip replacement
and shoulder impingement clients
regain their strength and mobility.
The levers on the machine move
in a 3-dimensional way, training
the shoulder to be stable and
strong in every possible position.
The leg swivels can be shortened
and lengthened, and widened and
narrowed to challenge and change
the range of motion in the hips.
The Archway® is another
specialized piece that aids in
deeper stretching of the entire
body but can also challenge you
more athletically, comparable
to gymnastic training. With
hanging attachments, the client
can use body weight to open up
a compressed low back through
many different positions
and exercises as well
as strengthen
all connective
musculature.
The
Jumping
Stretching
Board®
is another
phenomenal
tool that is
designed to help
build leg strength
without stressing the hip, knee
and ankle joints. Working as a
2-in-1 machine, the JSB can also
be converted to stretch all the
muscles of the lower body and
upper body.
THE GYROTONIC® TOWER
is the most versatile of them all.
With nearly endless possibilities
of exercises, this machine uses
an adjustable bench with rotating
handles and a pulley tower with
multiple anchor points so clients
can express their movements in
the most comfortable and natural
ways possible.
What sets GYROTONIC®
apart from any other type of
movement system or type
of exercise is its multiple
progression levels, continually
challenging clients within their
own ranges of capabilities and
its endless adjustable setups. It
