SLIM DOWN AND TONE WITH GTONNICKS gTonnicks is an innovative, and highly effective mind and body workout that uniquely and gracefully blends eclectic body conditioning aspects of classical ballet, martial arts masters, and gymnastic core conditioning techniques in order to allow practitioners to develop a strong and sleek physique. Melinda has been a very active and athletic person most of her life until she damaged both of her knees from excessive running. She had to stop running and cut her exercise activities down to only doing Yoga and some walking. At age43, she tried gTonnicks. Melinda felt pleasantly tight the very day next after taking just one class! It’s just mind boggling to me that something so simple and seemingly easy works the body so darn good.
