The GyroTwister is an exercise device. Developed in
the USA, it uses the latest scientific knowledge in
the field of motion therapy. Unlike other exercise
equipment, GyroTwister uses no weights, springs,
electrical power or batteries. Instead, it uses the
power generated by a rapidly spinning gyro – gyro
power.
How much, or how little gyro power, is controlled by the user’s muscle strength and is thus easily adjusted to suit the user’s physical condition. The gyro energy generated from 10,000 revolutions a minute amounts to around 15 kilos or 33 pounds !

It is driven by pure muscle power. Inside the
device, you’ll find a 200 gram rotor - the heart of
the GyroTwister. Once it’s set into motion, a
rotation impulse starts up around the axis. Bike
riders are familiar with this kind of impulse. If
you get on a bike that’s not moving, you’ll fall
over. But the faster you ride, the more stable the
bike becomes. As speed increases, more power is
required to steer. The rotor within the GyroTwister
is able to build up stability in exactly the same
way – through the moment of inertia (the gyrating
mass is about 2 cm (1/2 inch) from the axis) and
the rotation speed. The user can now try to tilt
the rotor, while simultaneously turning the
rotation axis, to create a moment when the rotor
begins turning. The gyroscope reacts to this
movement with an opposite motion in an attempt to
straighten upright again. This force is known as
“precession”.
This unique gyro exerciser helps build upper body
strength, particularly grip, wrist, upper and lower
arm strength, as well as sharpening co-ordination
skills.
Sportspeople and MusiciansBecause
GyroTwister strengthens arms from the shoulder
level down to the fingertips, it’s particularly
beneficial for golfers, tennis and squash players,
basketballers, baseballers, cricketers (especially
spin bowlers), indoor and outdoor climbers and
bowlers.Musicians
including drummers, pianists, cellists, guitarists,
violinists, flautists and oboists all experience
very positive effects using GyroTwister.
Bicyclists and MotorcyclistsHand numbing from keeping the hands in one position for too long, can be a problem for cyclists and motorcyclists. There have been many positive reports from people using GyroTwister to alleviate this type of problem.
Computer UsersThose who sit daily in front of a computer or who engage in repetitive activity can relax their muscles from time to time with short use of the GyroTwister (1-2 minutes are enough).
Older PeopleGyroTwister can help maintain movement and coordination skills, which could be useful during later years in life. In such cases, please consult your doctor before use.
