Read moreI’ve got a good news/bad news situation for you today. Let’s rip off the bandaid and get the bad news out of the way first. Despite what we’ve been told for years, it turns out that moderate drinking isn’t doing your health and fitness any favors. Those 1-2 “happy hour” drinks that we’ve been told may be good for us? Nope. Not good. It all started when a team of Canadian researchers reviewed the results of 107 different studies about alcohol use. They tracked data from more than 4.8 million people — and they found that the old studies were flawed. A quick rundown of their findings: ....

Read moreEver wonder what happens if you miss a workout or two? I have a good news-bad news answer for you … First of all, missing a couple of scheduled workouts isn’t a huge deal… at least not physically. The problem is that it can get you into a cycle that can turn INTO a very big deal. (And I’m not talking about planned rest days here – those are an important part of the process.) I’m talking about the workouts you miss because your schedule gets crazy or you just aren’t in the mood. When you miss THOSE workouts, it gets easier and easier to skip future workouts, until you fall off the bandwagon altogether. And ....

Read moreI probably don’t have to ask you if you’ve ever thought about “losing weight” or “burning fat” — but how often do you think about building muscle? If you’re like most people, you probably don’t give your muscles much thought until you go to pick up something heavy or throw on a bathing suit. But here’s a surprising fact: Although the idea of building muscle is typically linked with how we look, your muscles are closely linked with your overall health – and also with the aging process. Here are 7 reasons to build more muscle, starting right now: 1. You start losing muscle around the age of 30. 🤯 ....
Read moreWe’ve been talking a lot about resilience and taking personal responsibility for our health and fitness this month. Today, we’re going to get REAL on the mindset, habits, and actions you can take to become more resilient. One thing I love about these habits is that they just plain FEEL good — and when you stack them together, you feel unstoppable. 8 Real-Life Habits to Become More Resilient Practice mindfulness. Examples: meditation and deep breathing. Start with just 1-2 minutes and build up to 10 once or twice a day. Create “down” time. Examples: make time for activities that help you relax, like hobbies, reading, playing ....
Read moreHow many kinds of stress are you dealing with right now? (There are SIX major types of it.) Stress is like a double-edged sword for our health. In manageable doses, it can actually be good for you and boost your resilience. It can motivate you to push forward to new heights and it can boost your focus and energy. It can even make your body release hormones to raise your performance, both mentally and physically. But too much stress has the opposite effect. It can affect your mood, your sleep, and your overall health. It’s linked with high blood pressure, heart disease, depression, and more. Having an outlet to manage stress (like exercise !) is a ....
Read moreA lot of people ask me about willpower because they think they don’t have enough of it. Here’s what’s wild about that: it turns out, the fact that they think they don’t have enough willpower might be why they don’t have enough . Say what? Back in the 1990s, scientists came up with a theory called “ego depletion,” which basically says that willpower is a limited resource. And, if you’re tired, stressed, or have made a ton of decisions during the day, you’re more likely to run out of it. Which sets you up for skipping your planned workouts, ordering takeout instead of eating a healthy home-cooked meal, etc. ....
Read moreThere’s a trait that separates people who reach their goals from those who struggle. It’s not talent, luck, or genetics (although those things don’t hurt). This trait does more than just help you reach your health/fitness goals. It also helps you do better in school, excel in sports and your career, and it also plays a role in being a better parent and/or spouse. It’s mental toughness — aka personal responsibility and accountability — and it’s something you can get better at, over time. FUN FACT: It might mean something different than you think. It’s NOT about being a single-minded drill sergeant who harps on ....
Read moreI 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.
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.
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!
