After 20 years in the Marine Corps, Butch had spent the last three years of his career with chronic knee pain. He had gone through three physical therapists, two ortho surgeons and a chiropractor. The issue turned out to be easily corrected with movement. But since no one local was practicing this neurology-based approach to fitness he was inspired to create Taiso.
Jennifer's pathway to the fitness industry was through martial arts. Martial arts is an expression of movement and having a system of training that is based on neurology means we can help anyone get better at anything. Its not just about getting out of chronic pain, it is also about elite performance. This was her inspiration to create Taiso. To describe what Taiso is we really have to talk about us and how we got to where we are today.
Butch has practiced Japanese martial arts most of his life and always had a wish to someday open a school. After Butch moved here from San Diego, he and Jennifer met at a Seibukan Jujutsu school here in Washington.

Services
We are a small, local Tacoma gym looking for clients who value health and fitness as a way to explore, play, and enjoy life.
We want to truly know our customers and know that the coaching we provide makes a difference in their lives.
We have always been active, but we haven't always worked out.
Why?
Because working out just for the sake of working out leads to plateaus, boredom, and potential for injury.
But working out to develop skills and movement patterns keeps things novel and challenging for your body and your brain.

Taiso means "exercise" in Japanese.
We offer small group fitness classes, personal training, and adult martial arts in the Proctor District of Tacoma.
I want to give my clients the coaching and expertise that I would've wanted my Mother to have when she was younger.
I watched her yo-yo diet take fat loss pills, count calories and buy exercise videos, with no long term benefit.
She had two young girls to take care of, a job and the pressures of our society to "look perfect" while doing it all.
I think there is a better way, I think a fitness facility that's focused on education can get that person real advice for where they are NOW and help them make small but lasting changes.
