July as a barometer

Why you need a check-in... July is a fun month around here as we dust off the Christmas ornaments, pull out the tree, and generally get festive around here! But why is our Christmas in July a good reminder for you? Read on and i'll explain how this can supercharge your fitness with your July check-in! 1. What health and fitness goals did you set for yourself in January? Looking back at what you set for yourself, or didn't set for yourself will help you choose what you want to achieve the back half of 2019.

Being sneaky about your dark green leafys!!

How did Popeye do it?
Ok, full disclosure, I'm not a fan of dark green vegetables. Yes, I know, they are fantastic for your health, they are part of a balanced diet, and great for digestion...but I am NOT a fan of consuming it raw! I always think back to my childhood cartoon days of watching Popeye and seeing him grow big and strong after eating canned spinach. Every time it hit my plate as a kid, I had to think of Popeye and channel my inner sailor to eat that stuff! How did he do it? As an adult, I'm finding that rather than forcing myself to eat greens, I needed to get creative. Skipping them altogether, which many people do, can be detrimental to your health. Greens provide ....

Let's celebrate independence...from back pain!

Low back pain blues... Let's talk low back pain. It's a pain in the neck, but in the low back! I once had a friend that said, "you never really think about how important your low back is until it goes out". As someone that has been on the receiving end of this pain, I can agree. Let's talk about this pain and what you can do about it! How pervasive is low back pain in your life? Is it frequent? Does it leave you unable to move? Are you limited in your life because of it, or does it cause frequent visits to the heating pad? Fact is, millions of people suffer from low back pain and mask its symptoms with pain relievers, muscle relaxers, and other medicines ....

Flipping on Flip Flops!

Flip Flopping on Flip Flops The information is out there as to how orthotics can help your posture, back pain, and knee pain, to name a few. But orthotic flip flops?

I "get" to...

Are you thankful for your fitness? When you walk in our door, do you yell, "Thank you"? After this story, maybe you will! This happened to me last week and I thought, since it is Memorial Day it would be the perfect time to share it: I was walking with a friend of mine and we were chatting about our workouts, our family lives, and how some things are just plain busy. We lamented how it can be tough to fit exercise in due to schedules or feeling exhausted from our day. Sometimes, it seems there aren't enough hours to finish the laundry, let alone get the dishes done and prepare for the next day! Then she dropped this knowledge on me! She said, she heard how cancer ....

Eat More to Lose Weight: Why under eating is sabotaging your weight loss.

Eat More to Lose Weight: Why under eating is sabotaging your weight loss.
Have you hit a plateau in your fat loss? Maybe the scale hasn’t budged in a while, even though you feel like you’re already eating practically nothing. Why is this happening? Let’s start by defining metabolism: metabolism is the sum of all the chemical processes that take place within your body to sustain life.In order to drive these processes, your body requires energy. You get this energy from food. Maybe you’ve heard someone say “ I just have a slow metabolism, I can’t lose weight.
” It is true that age, activity level and other factors can play a part ....

Results you can see in 3D

For Immediate Release
GAINESVILLE, FL

Unlike the other scanning devices found around town with specific guidelines to follow for an accurate result, the AXIS Styku simply requires form fitting clothes for an accurate result.

Travis Cole

Travis is a 23 year old student at the University of Florida. About 7 or 8 years ago, Travis started experiencing severe back pain. He thought the problem would just go away, but when the pain persisted, he decided to consult a doctor. He had visited numerous doctors and they all told him that the only solution was corrective surgery. Since Travis's dream was to one day enter into the Air Force, that was not a viable option for him. In order for him to be able enter into the military, he had to have a clean bill of health and any surgeries in his health history would ruin that. For this reason, Travis tried to live with the pain everyday, until he found AXIS. He began training with Jonathan in July. After a few months of training, Travis's pain began to subside and eventually disappeared altogether. Travis credits his time with Jonathan at AXIS for facilitating in ridding him of his severe back pain, and helping him keep his dream of joining the Air Force alive. Travis finished his training in January, and since then, has taken everything he has learned at AXIS and applied it to his own workouts. He remains pain free to this day and plans on joining the Air Force as soon as he graduates.

Before coming to AXIS I really lacked the motivation to do much of anything outside of showing up to work. I gained nearly 100 pounds over the past 10 years or so, and my health was suffering in a number of ways including being placed on CPAP for sleep apnea. As I am approaching 40, I was getting more and more worried that I would not be there for my children if my health got any worse. Since joining AXIS 2 months ago, I have lost 31 pounds, 2.5% body fat, and I have gone down 5 pants sizes. I feel stronger and have much, much more energy than I did prior to coming to AXIS. I would definitely recommend AXIS to anyone looking to get in shape and stay in shape. The trainers at AXIS are great at tailoring work out plans to individuals and their level of fitness. They will help you in setting your fitness goals and provide the motivation to get you there. Also from my experience, the staff, as well as the other clients, create an open atmosphere and are very welcoming to those that are willing to get their life back on track.

Getting the right trainer matters. When I started training with Jake, I had just moved from out-of-state and had been working with a trainer for about three years. Although I had been happy with my former trainer and gotten results, I had also developed serious neck pain. Jake immediately spotted that I had a problem and that it was exacerbated by certain exercises that I had been doing incorrectly at my former gym. Jake is the right trainer for me. The results over that past year have been stunning. I have all but eradicated my neck problems through a carefully designed program that Jake has designed and monitored. Plus, I am stronger, have more energy, and in better shape all-around than when I arrived. Bottom line: Jake is very knowledgeable and excited about staying current about fitness. He's careful with his clients and listens to their challenges and goals from the first visit and throughout the following workouts. That said, he's also not afraid to kick butt with challenging and varied workouts.
