About Leigh Ulyate

Leigh Ulyate is an incredible Gyrotonic instructor whose passion for this unique movement ensures that every client session is enjoyable and productive. Leigh tried the Gyrotonic expansion workout over five years ago, and knew immediately that she wanted to teach this amazing system. She was certified at the Gyrotonic Headquarters in Miami by Lisa Marie Goodwin, one of the movement’s few authorized master trainers.

With over 15 years of experience as a ballroom dancer, Leigh infuses a flow and choreography to her teaching that makes clients feel graceful while receiving a very intense workout. Her dance background inspired her to try Gyrotonic, which she finds to be very organic in relation to how the body works. “The circular motion in Gyrotonic is very freeing, yet it lengthens, tones and strengthens from the inside out, without stressing any part of the body,” says Leigh.

After going through a divorce, Leigh found herself searched for a new purpose in her life. Her incredible results with Gyrotonic inspired her to pass this knowledge along to others. “I love helping people feel good about themselves, but more importantly, I enjoy keeping people healthy for life,” she says. “I found that Gyrotonic provides a fitness program that improves posture and elongates the spine while toning the body.  For me, at 60, this is vitally important.” In her spare time, Leigh enjoys tennis, biking and ballroom dancing.
