If you are interested in becoming a teacher of GYROTONIC® exercise, details on how to do so are posted below. We have a set schedule of teacher trainings for 2012, but may be able to schedule additional teacher trainings on request. If you do not see a date that works for you please contact us about arranging one.

PROCESS FOR BECOMING A GYROTONIC® TEACHER
1 - PRIVATE SESSIONS
We recommend at least 10 private sessions before one begins the process of becoming a teacher. This is a minimum recommendation, however the more private instruction you have before starting your pre-training, the better.

2 - GYROTONIC LEVEL 1 PRE-TRAINING COURSE
5 day course (5 hours a day), or up to 28 hours total
Designed to ensure you have a strong understanding of the system in your own body, Pre-Training can be taken privately for a total of 20 hours, or in a group course setting (24-28 hours) and must be taught by a Master Trainer or an Authorized Pre-Trainer. You will go over in detail names of exercises and experience the hands-on cues which will be taught in the teacher training.

3 - GYROTONIC LEVEL 1 FOUNDATION TEACHER TRAINING
12-day course (60 hours in total)
An intensive course conducted by Authorized Master Trainer Billy Macagnone. Upon successful completion you are issued a Certificate of Apprenticeship and you can begin providing instruction to clients.

4 - APPRENTICESHIP REQUIREMENTS
As an Apprentice, you have 18 months to log a specific amount of teaching client hours and to attend a Supervised Apprentice Review course with a Master Trainer. Course requirements are:
- Gyrotonic: 60 hours of Teaching Client Hours and 30 hours of Supervised Apprentice Hours with a Master Trainer.

5 - FINAL CERTIFICATION
Once you have successfully completed your Apprenticeship Period, which is determined by your Master Trainer, you enroll in a final 3 day/15 hour Final Certification Course. In America, these courses are typically conducted in Miami, FL. The certification course must be taken 6 to 18 months after your Foundation training. After your Certification, you will be able to attain added specialty equipment training as well as advanced level 2 training.
it is never too late to be what you might have been
