WHAT

IS RooT Fx OUTDOORS

TRAIL TRAINING?

Drawing on decades of expertise in both wilderness exploration and functional fitness, Michael seamlessly blends the art of Tai Chi with functional training principles to create a transformative experience like no other.

Participants gather in the foothills of the Rockies and start with balance, mobility and core strength training and progress to core walking/hiking training. You will then take your training on a hiking trail while Michael and Bri work with you. More advanced hikers can venture out with Michael and Bri into more challenging trails. 

The focus is on the quality of your hiking so you can learn to hike longer and farther and not have your body break down.

TRY RooT Fx TAI CHI
or RooT Fx FUNCTIONAL TRAINING

RooT Fx Tai Chi follows the principles of the Yang style short form. All classes are taught by Michael Takatsuno who studied with Benjamin Lo in San Francisco.  Come and see what authentic tai chi is like and experience the older, more traditional ways of learning this ancient art form. 

RooT Fx Functional Strength & Mobility Training gets its foundation in movement from ancient and time tested Tai Chi principles. Then we build upon those principles to create a training program tailored to your needs and goals.
