Nathan Martin is founder and owner of CAPITAL GYROTONIC® since 2013.  A former ballet dancer and student of the Joffrey Ballet School, Nathan started his GYROTONIC® training at New York City's oldest Gyrotonic studio, Studio Riverside in 2002.  While dancing, Nathan sought out a dynamic, versatile, and intelligent form of cross-conditioning and after trying out countless forms of other exercise modalities, he became dedicated to studying the Gyrotonic methodology.  Beginning his Gyrotonic studies through a work-study program with Authorized Gyrotonic Master Trainer Leda Franklin, Nathan has had the opportunity to study with top Gyrotonic trainers from all over the U.S. and Europe, including Gyrotonic Founder, Juliu Horvath. 

Nathan is a certified GYROTONIC® & GYROKINESIS® Master Trainer. He has been certified and thoroughly trained on all Gyrotonic specialized equipment, therapeutic, and advanced courses.

In 2008, during the Beijing Summer Olympics, Nathan was the first GYROTONIC® Master Trainer invited to teach and help launch the GYROTONIC® method in China.  During his time there, he was featured in National Chinese magazine publications of Marie Claire, His Life, and iLook. Nathan has led teacher trainings both in the U.S. and in China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan ever since.

Grandson of a Qi Gong Master and acupuncturist, Nathan grew up around his grandparent's Chinese medicine clinic in Hong Kong, exposing himself to alternative medicine and healing arts from a young age. His deep understanding of the body, combined with knowledge of alternative medicine and background in dance have enriched his teaching style and made him a versatile, sought-after trainer in both the U.S. and in Asia.
