I was tired, unhappy, stiff, constantly hurting and beginning to become a hermit because of all the extra weight. I was in my chiropractors office 2 or 3 days a week every week just to keep moving. I was walking in the mall at a leisurely pace earlier this year and I could not keep up with a basic conversation while walking and decided ok that's it...I had enough and I was finally sick and tired of being sick and tired. I had a not so great experience at a different fitness facility in town so I really did a lot of digging into fitness professionals in the area and eventually came across Axis. I started to workout with Jonathan and each time I go I still can't believe how far I've come. I no longer dread stairs, I can walk and talk without gasping for air, I stand up straight, my legs have shape again, my pains are pretty much gone and at 45 I can do squats on an upside down bosu ball. Mmm hmmm, yes I can. Jonathan had me write all my food down so my diet has been cleaned up significantly and he is always evaluating what I eat and giving lots of good feedback. Water is now the #1 beverage of life. Because of this in 3 months I had lost 20 inches, my face no longer blows up like beet when I tie my shoes and my chiropractor is probably wondering if I moved away because I went from being his best customer to a distant memory in a few months time. Awesome doesn't even cover it. If you think you can't, these guys will show you in most cases you definitely can. I cannot tell you how thankful I am that Axis made its way into my life. It really has made its way into my life because it's so much more than 60 minutes 3 times a week. I wouldn't hesitate for a minute to recommend this facility to anyone. In fact, I sent my boss over to them. This is the only place who listened to my concerns, figured out what my needs were and have done nothing but told me "Yes you can, Shari" even when I wasn't so sure I could. There is no one size fits all mentality here. My only regret is that I didn't find Axis sooner.
