Jeffery Duffy is an experienced Gyrotonic Instructor and professional dancer who enjoys working with athletic populations at any level. He works at Activcore in Atlanta, Georgia, located just 2 miles from Emory University.
As a native ATLien, Juilliard Graduate, and world renowned artist, Jeffrey has been inspiring folks in Atlanta and around the country to keep it moving through his masterclasses, workshops, and Gyrotonic sessions.
Jeffery received acclaim as a Princess Grace Fellow and Original ensemble Cast Member of The First National Tour of HAMILTON: An American Musical. He remarked, “Whether it was playing sports, karate or dance, my folks made sure my brother and I stayed active. Instilled at a young age, my dedication to movement keeps me thriving, on and off the stage."
While touring, Jeffrey took the initiative to connect with Gyrotonic Master Trainers from around the globe. His Gyrotonic practice has been critical in maintaining a healthy mind and body.
Jeffery always wanted his talents to benefit more folks than himself in the most real way. Throughout his career, he has overcome injuries and discovered new pathways to movement that are predicated on healing and overcoming physical challenges with no lag in explosiveness. He closely followed his healing process and spoke at length with Orthopedic Surgeons, Physical Therapists, Acupuncture practitioners, and other Professional Movers.
Jeffery educates himself on the latest observations in neural plasticity and recognizes a lot of similarities in his own healing. This offers him a well-rounded and unique perspective when it comes to helping his clients. One thing we all share is MOVEMENT.
Jeffery's approach is “easy like Sunday morning.” He wants his clients to feel like they can accomplish anything (which they can with a little effort). The only way to maximize that potential is to create a calm healing environment. From there, he challenges the clients to reach for a few more reps and discover a deeper sense of movement, beyond the superficial. By the end of each session, he likes to leave his clients with a better awareness of their own bodies, and a clearer path to excelling toward their why.
Jeffery works well with most folks, regardless of their background. His target populations are athletes at any level, and males looking to move easier in daily functional activities.
When not teaching, Jeffery enjoys live sports, live art, cooking, traveling, and being with his family.
