Testimonials

“Attentive & Compassionate”

“I am happy to recommend Bob as a Gyrotonics teacher. His lovely outdoor studio overlooks trees and a garden, amidst the music of bird calls. Bob is attentive and compassionate.

I always feel that his entire focus is on me, ensuring that I am getting maximum benefit.

Gyrotonics work, as taught by Bob, is amazing, emphasizing flow, energy, and movement. No matter what your level of physical fitness is, Bob will help make Gyrotonics work for you to improve core strength, alignment, and flexibility.”

"Doing Gyrotonics with Bob has been a lifesaver."

"I’ve been working with Bob for a number of years as I’ve gone through some health crises. I’m a former athlete and dancer who has gone through a number of accidents and bouts with disease, although I’ve always been committed to being as physically active and strong as possible. Doing gyrotonics with Bob has been a lifesaver. I’ve maintained and gone way beyond my expectations for range of motion and strength. Bob is gentle, but highly supportive of my pushing myself (without hurting myself) to reach my maximum physical potential. I had been a professor at the top medical school in San Francisco many years ago and could not imagine having a better person to work with than Bob anywhere in the world. To work with him in Maui exceeds all expectations."

– GEORGE FEIN, Ph.D. President and Senior Scientist Neurobehavioral Research, Inc.

“A True Teacher”

"When my husband and I decided to schedule a few Gyrotonic classes while on vacation in Maui, we thought we knew what we were signing up for: As seasoned Gyrotonic students, we figured it would keep us fit between tiki bars. We were delighted to find so much more — In Bob we found a true teacher — an inspiration to explore our bodies and ourselves more deeply. Bob is an embodiment of authentic movement, with deep knowledge of the Gyrotonic system, who guides students to understand the dance of moving in, and through, this world with energy, joy, and ease.

We continued to return to Maui to train with Bob, ultimately even doing our 10-day instructor pre-training with him."

– ALANA AND ERIC

“Talented & Conscientious”

“Twenty years ago I met Bob and began my Gyrotonic training with him, and we are still great friends. Through his kindness and encouragement, I became certified and eventually opened my own studio.

Bob is a true professional — a talented and conscientious teacher. He is demanding, yet kind, and designs his teaching to fit each individual's needs.

Because of Bob, Gyrotonic has become my lifelong passion and journey.”

– OBLIO WISH, Owner, Gyrotonic Sat Nam

“Unwinding Unconscious Patterns”

"Bob has a way of seeing and unwinding unconscious patterns that stress the system, and then re-working them so you move effortlessly.

Working with Bob, I experience profound improvement in my physical, mental and emotional health. Not only do I feel better in my body — stronger, fewer aches and pains, standing taller, etc — but I witness an impact in my day-to-day experience.

Bob is committed to my growth and development. He is a true healer and is 100% focused and present every time we work together. He is refreshingly trustworthy and respectful."

– NYKKI HARDIN, Nutrition and Detox Expert

"Knowledgeable experienced instructor!"

– VIRGINIAL HOLTE, West Hawaii Dance Academy

"The Secrets to Getting into Flexible Shape"

“Robert Samiljan at Bob’s Kihei Studio showed me the secrets to getting into flexible shape without having to be an elite athlete. His exercises and equipment sped up that process and helped me to feel like I have a teenage body again. Bob is very knowledgeable, gentle, and patient. He is an expert in anatomy and spinal alignment, and you will enjoy your session immensely.”

– DAMON ACKERMAN, Child and Family Therapist

– KATHY WILLIAMS, Kathy's Kihei Wailea Yoga

"Gyrotonics expert!"

"I feel better, look better, and feel stronger with Bob’s exercise program!"

– LOUISE LAMBERT, Louise Lambert Music

"Knowledge of body/mind/spirit"

"Much to my surprise, Gyrotonics is the BEST for me physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually that I have ever experienced — It is beyond description. Bob's knowledge of body/mind/spirit, plus his ability to be fully present, gives me individualized training in the moment."

– JENNY SWICK
