What is RooT Fx?

RooT Fx isn't your typical fitness program. We don’t rely on cookie-cutter workout routines or quick-fix solutions. Instead, we offer a comprehensive approach that strengthens your body from the ground up—literally. Our method focuses on enhancing mobility and functional strength, ensuring that every part of your body works in harmony. From your core to your joints, we train your body to move as it was designed to, improving your ability to tackle both everyday tasks and the activities you love, whether that's hiking, biking, or playing with your kids.


Our programs are designed for individuals who want to stay active but face obstacles like chronic tension, joint discomfort, or age-related stiffness. These common issues can prevent you from maintaining or enhancing your functional mobility, but with RooT Fx, you can overcome them. You’ll gain the tools you need to live the active, vibrant life you want—whether that’s hiking in the Rockies, tending to your garden, or just getting up and down from the floor with ease.

Tai Chi: Moving with Purpose and Strength

One of the core offerings at RooT Fx is our Tai Chi program, which goes beyond what you might expect from traditional fitness. Tai Chi, particularly the Yang-Style Short Form that we teach, is a dynamic practice that combines physical conditioning with mindfulness, making it a powerful tool for both body and mind.


So why Tai Chi? For starters, it’s a low-impact way to improve flexibility, balance, and core strength—all while being gentle on your joints. Each movement in Tai Chi flows from the core, creating a strong foundation (what we call “rooting”) that supports better posture, improved coordination, and greater control over your body.

Beyond the physical benefits, Tai Chi is also a powerful stress-relief tool. The slow, deliberate movements, combined with deep breathing and mindfulness, promote relaxation and mental clarity. It’s not just exercise; it’s a way to connect with your body and calm your mind. And the best part? Tai Chi is for everyone, regardless of age or fitness level. Whether you’re looking to relieve tension, boost your cardiovascular health, or simply find a new way to stay active, Tai Chi at RooT Fx offers something for everyone.
