Juliu Horvath is the individual credited with the creation of the gyrotonic expansion system. Horvath was born in Romania and belongs to Hungarian ethnicity. His motivation to create the system was informed by the years he spent nursing chronic injuries and pain. He was a dancer and a gymnastic, becoming a ballet dancer in the 20s of his life. After defecting from Romania in 1970, the United States granted him asylum. He spent some months in an Italian refugee camp while on defection.

The herniation of vertebral disc in the back of Juliu ended his career as a dancer. He needed to rehabilitate the injuries so much that he moved to the Virgin Islands. While living on the island he began to practice yoga and meditation. He would spend the better part of the next 6 years in deep meditation and yoga. While devoted to the life of yoga and meditation, Horvath working on the Yoga of Dancers.

Upon his return to New York City from the Virgin Islands, Horvath began to teach the new technique. He set up a gyrotonic studio in the year 1984. He became the first individual to set up such a facility. Most of his clients were professional dancers. His classes created a lot of demand very fast, to include people from different backgrounds. He had to redefine the routines he taught to accommodate clients with different health needs, age, and body size. He gave the name Gyrokinesis method to the refined routines.

Customization is possible through the many adjustments the device incorporates. Customization is meant to allow the machine to accommodate different physiques and levels of physical fitness.
