This gym is not for you if you are looking for a 20/30/40 or x minute workout, one-and-done. This is for you if you see movement as a fundamental part of your life and you are looking for community and structure that will help you grow. This is a place where what you do in training makes you more capable with all the rest of your life - whether that is knowing your limits, understanding how your body responds under stress or specific fitness goals (for me that was doing a pull up and improving my skiing). Since coming in with those goals, my training here has helped me understand how even the day to day things I do can be part of my "training." For example, different sports and fitness instructors have told me for years that my knees weren't tracking over my feet and to fix it. Here, when I told them this, they said let's look at how you walk. They noticed one of my feet was pronated and they noticed different effects such as twisting in my hips, arms, and shoulders. I decided to add a foot warmup to my morning routine and asked for their recommendations. Lo and behold my knee tracking is improved in my sports even though my focus has been on my feet and walking better in my day to day. That's a really amazing feeling to have about your body - the feeling that everything you do is helping you be who you want to be and not keeping you from it. Their help with this integrated bodywork has been so instructive for me. Can't wait to see you there!

I love the personal attention to each person in the class. If there are 5 people in the class, there may be 5 different versions of an exercise to fit the fitness, injury or strength level of each person. I came to Taiso after sitting in graduate school for 5 years and writing a dissertation over another 2 years...to say I was out of shape and weak is putting it mildly. I have worked out for almost 2 years and have built strength, flexibility and confidence! I also have less back and joint pain. Butch and Jennifer are fun, knowledgeable, and accommodating on every level!

Four of us took a half-day self defense class and it was fantastic. We ranged in age from 16 to upper 70's and all of us came away feeling more knowledgeable about our personal safety. Thumbs up, definitely recommend.

Excellent mix of modern tactical, traditional, and sport training in martial arts. You will learn practical self-defense skills as well as situational awareness, in a fun and supportive environment. Butch and Jennifer's knowledge of personal training and rehabilitation are the perfect compliment to the training. Super fun time!

After a 4 year hiatus I am back to Taiso. Only gym where I actually show up and where I see actual results. I am sore today but energized by Butch and Jenn's TLC and attention to my more heavy set frame. Best. Gym. Ever. You will get results in a supportive environment!

I have been working out at Taiso to recover from an injury. In 9 months, I have less pain, more flexibility, and more physical resilience for physical challenges that occur in life.

Super nice people and inviting atmosphere. I took their self-defense class, and I came out of it feeling much more comfortable with my safety. I highly recommend that everyone takes their class, especially women!

My relationship to exercise is forever changed-- Jennifer and Butch are doing something special here, building a community of people who are truly invested in caring well for our bodies and minds for the long haul. Yes, it's good for us, and some days it's hard, but more importantly, it's really fun!!

Thank you for putting together an amazing self defense class for our 10 & 11 year old daughters. My daughter came home and was so excited to show us what she learned, and really wants to attend another class. She had so much fun and learned valuable skills. Thank you!

A true sense of community and investment in your health. Butch and Jennifer create a friendly atmosphere with an emphasis on knowledge, individual wellbeing and progression. "How are you feeling?" is asked every time you walk in the door and your workout that day will be tailored to your answer. Whether you want to lose weight, become stronger and more functional or just plain feel better, you will not find a better gym.

Taiso is the best! They always make you feel very comfortable with whatever movement you're doing but they also challenge you to do your best. There are so many people working out there at different fitness levels and they always tailor your experience so you get the most out of the class. I highly recommend this gym as a place to get moving, no matter where you're starting out.

I joined Taiso after a hip surgery and years of desk work left me discouraged and in pain. I was also kicked out of physical therapy as they could not account for the unexpected behavior of my post-surg hip and they said there was nothing else they could do for me. I committed to Taiso after learning about their body/brain holistic approach, and since joining (and doing the work) I can say, I barely recognize my own body anymore--in a good way. I have full mobility in my hip, am repairing years of imbalance, improving my flexibility, depth perception and strength, and am fitting into clothes I haven't worn in a decade. If you are serious about improving the way you move, they are the ones to work with.

I love Taiso Fitness. They provide personalized training with the brain-body connection in mind, promoting much better coordination and balance, not only greater strength. They welcome people with a wide range of abilities, challenges and goals. The atmosphere is friendly and inclusive. They work us hard, while keeping a positive perspective and an infectious sense of humor!
