Stand up to combat stress & anxiety (I can show you how!)

We’ve been talking a lot about your core and how important is it - but today is going to BLOW YOUR MIND. We’re going to go deep on how your posture (and core strength) can affect your mood and stress level … and vice versa. And by going deep … I mean deep into your core muscles AND your lungs! Take a second and imagine you’re at work, sitting in front of your computer. Or maybe you’re zoning out while scrolling through your phone. Chances are you’re sitting in a slouch, your shoulders rounded over your chest and abs. Well did you know that this posture is actually linked with feeling depressed and tired!?😱 Plus, ....

February means loving yourself...starting with your core!

When was the last time you gave your core muscles a little TLC? They work SUPER HARD for you all day, every day. But most of us don’t give them the attention they deserve – and when we DO think about them, it’s probably about how they look. Well, here’s something eye-opening: Your Core Muscles: ● Form the basis of basically EVERY movement you make, day and night. ● They keep your spine safe and stable as you move your arms and legs. ● They help you keep your balance. ● They power your breathing, ● Support your organs, and ● Keep you standing and sitting tall. When they ....

The truth about "life balance"...+ a FREE GIFT!

You decide to go on a big health kick and “clean up” your lifestyle – and that means getting rid of things. Maybe it’s certain foods (or even food groups) … or maybe it’s “activities” you decide to STOP doing (happy hour, TV binges, etc.). Basically, it’s all about things you have to DENY yourself! What if you flipped that script around and looked at it as UPGRADING your life instead? This little mindset trick can turn a negative outlook into a fun and positive one that helps you create habits you will stick with and actually ENJOY! ● Instead of denying yourself a mid afternoon ....

Let’s jump in... 10 Steps to Conquering Your Goals 1. FOCUS & DECIDE. Instead of choosing several goals to work on all at the same time, harness all that energy and focus it toward just 1-2 main goals . 2. Pick the goal with your BIGGEST WHY. This is the goal that you emotionally connect with and have a STRONG REASON for choosing. (example: “I want to have the energy to play with my kids.” - that’s a pretty big reason) ....

Your MAGIC window, and how it works!

Imagine you have a magic window … … and when you look into it, you can see yourself on the other side on Dec. 31, 2021. Who is looking back at you through the window?

My Favorite 7 word question...

I have a 7-word question for you today. It’s short, sweet, and asking it will help you finish the year feeling strong and in control. Even better, it will help you build momentum into 2021. Here it is ... EVERY TIME you are faced with a temptation that will pull you off track with your health and fitness goals, ask yourself: How will this make you feel tomorrow?

CRAZY week ahead?

It's the week of Thanksgiving, and with all of the fun and busyness of the holiday, things can get a little hectic and crazy. Am I right?! Run to this store … go to that place … pick this up … drop that off … get this done … and the list goes on and on. The number of things you need to get done in a day (let alone a holiday week!) are INCREDIBLE. It’s easy to feel drained, rushed, and pressured, and feel like you need to focus your attention on all the things you still HAVE to do (lack of something). The LAST thing you want to take the time to do is slow down and practice a little gratitude. But guess what? ....

I started training at Axis in April 2019 with the goals of losing weight and increasing my strength. I was living a sedentary lifestyle with a poor diet. The first two months were a struggle for me. But after my first evaluation results I felt motivated to improve my food choices and start working out on my days off. I'm very pleased at how much my strength and endurance have improved, and my food choices have gotten better. If only there was an app to stop me from eating fries! I also like that it is a small gym with people of all ages and fitness levels where I don't feel judged. Danielle is a great trainer and motivates me to get the most out of each workout. She makes sure I'm doing the workouts I enjoy which makes my training sessions fun, except for Bear Crawls, ha, ha! Seriously, I hate Bear Crawls, but they get my heart rate up! I would recommend Axis Training Studio for anyone wanting to improve their physical, mental and emotional-well being.

Brittany Trimble

I am a 40 something working mom of three teenagers. I have a very demanding job and home life. Axis is a place I can go and get a whole body workout with a sports physiologist in just a half hour. It’s great for getting and staying in shape without the worry of getting injured. It works so well for me and my previously injured body that I have continued to go back for 14 months. Also, it’s very affordable.

Lisa Chacko

Since coming to Axis, I have experienced improved energy, fitness, and overall well-being. As a doctor, I know how important exercise is to our overall health and routinely advise my patients to increase their physical activity. However, as a working mother I also know how hard it can be to find time and energy to take on something new. I needed help and encouragement to increase my physical activity safely, and this support is the key to what Axis offers. They will get you where you want to go, and will not let you injure yourself in the process. The programs are personalized and respectful of your preferences and goals. I am not a “gym person” but I enjoy the workouts and how I feel as my strength and stamina increase. I would (and do) recommend Axis to friends, family, and my patients. It is definitely time and money well spent!

Star Sansone

I have been training at AXIS for about 18 months. Jake and his team create a welcoming environment for everyone. All of his staff are very helpful and knowledgeable. I look forward to my sessions each week and appreciate their willingness to always work with my schedule and help me accomplish my goals.

Andrea Blitch

Before I started going to Axis I had not worked out in over 6 years, due to a hip injury. I had no energy, and little motivation and had gained back all the weight I had loss 7 yrs ago. My daughter convinced me to come do a semi-private class with her at Axis. Great way to get one on one instruction, and making sure I was using good form through the exercises. The trainers are very knowledgeable and do a great job of keeping me motivated. At the end of 8 weeks I had lost 4 lbs. of fat! And gained muscle. I have since transitioned to the small group training class. Its fun and a great workout. I can modify the moves to accommodate my personal needs, and I still feel like the trainers are giving me personal instruction. I highly recommend Axis for anyone who wants to just feel better, have more energy, lose weight. Jake and his team are super nice, welcoming, and want to help you achieve your goals.

Meagan Wiltse

Before I started at Axis training I worked out maybe once or twice a week on my own. Watching videos or running mainly, just to keep my shape. But I decided I needed a more permanent workout routine and something to keep me motivated. I joined Axis training studio nine months ago and have loved every minute of it!! My trainers have kept me accountable for working out at the gym and at home as well as keeping me straight on my food intake. I have noticed significant results in the amount of muscle and tone I have in my arms, legs, buttocks, and shoulders. My trainer and I evaluate my success and weakness every six weeks so we can work together to find a workout program that suits my needs. If you have been needing someone to help get you off the couch or just some extra motivation a few days a week, please consider Axis Training Studio!!

Amelia Dempere

I had stopped exercising after an knee injury I caused myself exercising at home on my own. It took 2 years to heal completely. I was tired most of the time and I struggled with anything that required physical activity. I saw the AXIS advertisement on-line and it seemed to be a program that could help me to get back to exercising correctly with proper guidance and at a manageable pace. I am now on week 5 and feel full of energy!, stronger and very motivated to continue exercising!. AXIS has a superb team of trainers, in a motivating environment, and has small groups in which all participants receive attention, guidance, and continuous feedback on how to keep the proper form and posture that leads to an efficient and productive workout. I truly recommend AXIS to anyone that wants to get energized and is looking for a great team of knowledgeable and motivated trainers to help you get in shape, become more active, healthier,, stronger and feel great!

Gylla Macgregor

I can't say enough good things about Axis training studio! There is no other gym like it in town. Jake, all the trainers (you rock, Danielle!:-), and Kat are incredible. Whatever goal or issue you have, they have the expertise and willingness to help you get where you want to be. From training programs, to nutrition to recovery - they definitely know their stuff. I am so happy I found them 2 plus years ago. Can't recommend them highly enough!

Jenna Barry

AXIS is a great environment that allows you to reach your fullest potential with both personal training and small group training. They offer personalized programs and truly put time and effort into helping you improve your fitness goals. AXIS fosters a family-like atmosphere and truly care about your well-being. If you are looking for a push towards a positive life change, I highly recommend AXIS for you.

Megan Noble

I've had a great experience at AXIS Training Studio. They offer personal training tailored specifically to your goals, and monitor progress with regular assessments. The small group training sessions are a a great way to get a high intensity workout in a short period of time, and in great community. All the trainers are knowledgeable, passionate, and create a very personal experience. If you want to make progress towards your health and fitness goals I highly recommend AXIS!

Kim Loughe

Fantastic studio. Very personable. Workouts are modified for various levels. I have enjoyed every minute working out here! The staff are helpful and provide a lot of technique guidance. Classes are small so you feel like you get personal training. I highly recommend Axis Training Studio. Come join and be a part of the team and family.

Kyle Hart

AXIS is the perfect fit for me. I am a busy professional that needs results without wasting time. I tried going to a standard gym, but always ended up spending at least an hour fumbling through a workout that I found online. With AXIS, I am in and out in 30 minutes, and I have seen better results in 4 weeks than I did in the previous 6 months working out on my own.
Besides being efficient, the team at AXIS cares. They make you feel like family. They are half trainers and half cheerleaders. I always leave the studio feeling great, both physically and mentally/emotionally. I can't think of a better way to start the day.

Scott Wear

I have been going to Axis Training Studios for the last half year and I could not be any happier with the results. Before I joined, I was really out of shape, a tad bit overweight and no endurance to speak of. I’ve lost over 10 lbs since joining and my energy level is getting better all the time.
The credit goes to Jake and his staff at Axis! They design workout programs that target strength and conditioning for beginners to the already physically fit athlete. I know the first few workouts were really tough and muscles were sore that I hadn’t even known existed before. Not long afterwards, I noticed the workouts getting easier and less painful. Clothes started getting baggier and i went down one, two belt sizes.
The staff at Axis really care about the well being of the members. I had a back injury recently that was painful and preventing me from working out. Jake met with me and worked on the problem area and got it working normally. He gave me ideas to workout without further injuring myself and strengthen my back. I am happy to say that I will be returning tomorrow to start working on my goals again. I have confidence knowing that the Staff at Axis literally have my back!
They also have a variety of healthy supplements, like the Flyte Life Super Greens pictured below. I like this stuff because it gets me that extra serving of vegetables quick and easy.

Ericka Miller

Jake and his crew provide an amazing workout experience. It's the first time I was able to find a workout class that worked on my posture and muscle imbalances. I saw great results and thoroughly recommend this class to anyone. Jake provides several alternatives for each exercise, specified for your level. Another great thing about Axis is that its a family. I had a minor injury that Jake immediately attended to. Not only is he very knowledgeable and updated on the very latest information, he is very involved and attentive. I love Axis!

Victoria Toto

I found out I was diabetic in Jan 2019. I did not want to be on medication for the rest of my life and I didn't want to shorten my life with a controllable disease. I promised my doctor that I would change my diet and start exercising and if in 6 months I was still diabetic, then I would consider medication. I did just that and my second test was lower but not out of range. I found Axis Training Studio and met with Jake Thompson. I haven't exercised in 6 years so I explained my fears, my needs, and goals and Jake made me feel comfortable, welcome, and motivated. I joined in April 2019.I just completed 6 weeks of small group training and my last labs done this week showed I am no longer diabetic. I also lost weight, gained muscle, lost inches, and gained confidence. Best decision I have ever made was joining Axis Training!!! Thank you Jake and team for making me a better, healthier human being.

Alyssa Urian

This facility has not only taught me so much about corrective exercise, but it has also changed my life. This is a great place for private training and group training. The staff is intentional and caters to the specific needs of the clients. I am glad I chose AXIS Training. People from all demographic ranges, all ages, and all sizes are welcome here.

Betty Brunson

I began training with this awesome group a few weeks ago. Jake and his team have such great pride and passion for MY personal goals and results. Through their knowledge and attention to detail, I realized that my training plan is unique, which they've catered to, even in a group class. I recommend Axis Training Studio to ANYONE wanting to change their current regimen or, in my case, needing to correct bad eating/exercise behaviors. Thank You, Axis Team!

Craig Sainz

Jake Thompson at Axis Training Studio is awesome! He has the most contagiously positive mindset and a tremendous sense of care for other people. I see each time we meet the power of his motivation. He excites people and gets them motivated to pursue their own goals. As a chiropractor, I would 100% recommend Jake at Axis Training for any of my patients who require initial smart rehabilitative physical training which progresses into meeting and exceeding their own personal fitness goals. He is truly the man.

Patrick Irby

I always get a great workout in an enjoyable environment. The trainers are all very supportive and the classes can be made to work for all fitness levels.

Gina Eubanks

I would definitely recommend AXIS. I really like the group support and positive energy. I also really like the accountability. It's very helpful that we're able to sign up for the classes in advance since it helps motivate me to get up and go at 5am. In addition, all of the trainers are great and very supportive!! They take the time to work with each client, even if you're going for the group training. And, they make the workouts fun!!

Paul Norfleet

Jake and all the trainers at Axis have there work cut out, trying to get me in shape, but they are doing a excellent job. They have kepted me motivated and my wife can see the results, and I like that.

Chris Tripp

A very personalized gym setting. The staff is attentive to your individual needs and restriction, and find the best workout routine to get you where you want to be. I actually look forward to working out!
