I LOVE this place! At 57 years old I was feeling like it was the beginning of the end of some of the activities I want to do for years to come. Since joining this gym just 3 1/2 months ago I have gained so much in strength, confidence, courage, and overall better health. Don't put it off any longer! (I stayed in the fence a year making excuses about my schedule and the cost. It's worth every penny if you get yourself there!) If you want better health right now, start right now! What are you waiting for? The staff and other athletes at Axis are professional and top notch encouragers!! Get there!

I started at Axis days after I was cleared by my medical team from having a baby. I never really lifted weights prior to joining Axis but I desired to build my self confidence and get stronger. I did one on one training w/ Em and I am SO glad Madonna paired me with Em when I first started. Overall it's been an amazing experience.
I love the atmosphere, everyone has been helpful and welcoming.
Every trainer I've met so far has been great.

Just being at Axis for 3 months I've learned that I'm much stronger than I thought and although I'm a Mom, Foster mom, business owner, wife and all the things in between it doesn't mean I have to put myself on the back burner. I deserve to be healthy and strong too.

Long story long, I 10/10 recommend.

I love going to Axis! The coaches are a big help when you’re trying to navigate the equipment (which weights/technique best suits you at that time). Very clean space. The coaches as well as the athletes are very supportive throughout the workouts! I highly recommend Axis to anybody!

Jason and his team at Axis are incredible. I absolutely love this crossfit gym! The sense of community here is unparalleled. From the moment I walked in the door, I was greeted with open arms by both the staff and other members. Everyone is so supportive and welcoming, creating a positive and motivating environment to work out in.

The trainers are well trained and educated and truly care about each individual's progress and goals. They push you to your limits while also ensuring proper form and technique to prevent injury. The workouts are always challenging and varied, keeping things interesting and effective.

The facilities are clean and well-maintained, with all the equipment you could possibly need for a killer workout. Plus, the class schedule is flexible and caters to all fitness levels, making it easy to fit in a session no matter how busy your lifestyle . If you're looking for a supportive community, top-notch trainers, and a killer workout, look no further than this crossfit gym. It's worth every ounce of fat!

I just wanted to take a moment to share the great training sessions provided to me by Rafa. Her expertise and knowledge of the subject matter has been invaluable in helping me to understand and apply what I've learned. Axis Strength Training overall promotes an environment that contributes to a positive attitude and they also made the experience enjoyable and engaging. Thank you!

I recently left the couch and joined Axis Strength. I completed the recommended 6 personal training sessions with Rafa(Amazing!), she took the time to show me the basics as I am an exercise newbie and modified the training to me and my current abilities. Axis demonstrates a culture of motivating you to push and do your best while tailoring the workout for you as an individual. All the coaches are great, don't be afraid if you are a beginner. I am excited about the momentum I am gaining!

I have been coming to Axis since 2022. Love this place. The coaches make class fun and enjoyable. Rafa is fun and always encouraging. She has been great to work with on getting my nutrition on track. Patrick is very professional and is great on correcting form or giving you tips on how to do a movement better. I personally have not had Courtney as a coach but I workout with her 3 days a week. She is full of energy and is always cheering me on and pushes me to do better. Madonna is so sweet and welcoming!
I would 100% recommend Axis. They have helped me to maintain a healthy weight, build muscle, endurance and self confidence!

The proof that this place works is in the pudding, so to speak. I’ve been working with Patrick in personal training sessions since mid-October. See attached photo for proof of results! Patrick keeps me on point, and the sessions are tailored to my goals. Right now we’re focused on training for a powerlifting competition that Pat encouraged me to sign up for! Come here for not just a fitness experience but for a true community experience!

I found Axis after moving to the area a couple of years ago. I didn't know anyone locally but knew I needed to find a healthy routine — to get me moving and keep me accountable. I tried other options, but there's something about Axis — from the one-on-one onboarding with Madonna to morning workouts with Coach Patrick and Coach Rafa to the folks I meet day-to-day who are just like me, giving their best. I'm not an ultra-athlete; I'm just an average person trying to stay healthy. The coaches always check in with everyone during class; you get the sense that they genuinely want folks to do their best and be their best. I never feel excluded or like I can't do something ... and for that, I'm grateful.

To all the coaches at Axis Strength Gym. I wanted to send a big thank you and to take a moment to express my gratitude for your dedication and guidance in helping me achieve my fitness goals and pushing me beyond them. Your knowledge and expertise have been invaluable to me in this journey. I enjoy showing up every day not just for the workout but the community. Madonna, Taryn, Pat, Hafa, Jason and any who I have missed, simply Thank you for all the hard work you do.

I started going to Axis in January; I had my free consultation with Jason on a Friday; he listened to my goals, what I was looking for, why I’ve previously failed. I signed up for personal training with nutrition coaching that day. I didn’t want to wait so I asked if a trainer had availability for Saturday… luckily, Rafa did! I was nervous to start; part of my downfall is struggling with holding myself accountable to stay consistent. Rafa just told me to show up, and she had me from there. I was kinda dreading starting because I knew it was going to be hard and hurt.. and it did lol But the only goal I had initially was Just. Show. Up. Rafa took the mind work out by tailoring workouts, has pushed me to do more than I EVER would do on my own, and to be honest, I probably would have given up if I didn’t have the support of my trainer. Now after 29 sessions, I’m stronger physically and mentally, sleep better, feel less stressed. I’m so psyched to see where the consistency goes long-term. So glad I womaned up and said yes. Let’s GOOOOO! Thank you Rafa!! Highly recommend this gym.

As a former athlete who felt discouraged by corporate/ commercial gyms…I’m so glad I gave my fitness journey another chance with Axis! Rafa has been an incredible trainer over the past month, consistently pushing me to exceed my own expectations. Her expertise and encouragement have been key to my progress. Highly recommend.

I started at Axis Strength Training back in May of 2023. Before joining this gym, I ran a lot on my own because I always felt intimidated going to other gyms. However, I had the total opposite experience joining Axis. I have played sports my entire life and thoroughly enjoy the competitive aspect of it along with having someone to push you along the way, whether it be a coach or another athlete. I started off with personal training sessions with Madonna before going into classes on my own. Madonna welcomed me with open arms and immediately made me feel at home. She pushed me just the right amount in order to be successful both mentally and physically. At first, I was nervous because I did not know what to do. Madonna introduced me to everyone and the atmosphere was so encouraging. She is a true friend and I look forward to seeing her during classes because I know that she is just another person willing to push me even harder. Everyone cheers everyone else on and it’s truly inspiring. Recently, I had to take time off due to coaching basketball. Madonna reached out several times to ask how things were going and it truly shows how much of a close knit community this gym is with coaches/trainers that truly care! When I returned, I felt like I had never left even though I was still nervous. I have noticed that attending this gym has made increased my physical well being along with my mental toughness. Each class, I am inspired by other athletes and trainers that push me to do the best that I can do that day. The coaches are inspiring and it’s amazing to workout along side of them to see them reach their personal goals as well. I am looking forward to what else I will learn and accomplish here! :)

When I started at Axis I was really nervous to walk into a gym that has such extensive training. I was really new to building muscle and learning to track my food intake. I had my initial meeting with Jason and he was super informative and got me set up with my AMAZING trainer Rafa 💜🙏👏🏻
She really helped me reach my goals in a matter of a couple months. I have learned so much about my nutrition goals and how to build muscle and maintain my body weight.
The workouts always push me to the next level!! I never walk away without my moneys worth that’s for sure 🤣
I am really happy with my muscle build, body structure and nutritional intake!! All thanks to my trainer Rafa…she is really fun to workout with and super easy to get along with. Thanks Axis!! I even have my kids coming here and my son signed up with the kids class!! It’s family friendly for everyone ☺️❤️

I dropped in for 2 classes when I was in the area visiting family. I did the 5pm and 6:30am strength and conditioning class and found that both coaches were super friendly and managed that class well. It is a small space but clean and I really enjoyed the programmed workouts.

I will definitely be dropping in whenever I am back in the area!

I joined the 5:30am class earlier this year, and I knew it was a good decision right from the start. Amazing, well-rounded workouts. A community of classmates who all welcome and support one another regardless of level. Every inch of progress is celebrated, and everyone works hard creating this cycle that drives you to want to be better. The coaches are personable, relatable, knowledgable, and always willing to answer questions. Jason, pulling double duty as both owner and coach, has truly fostered an environment where people grow every day.

The value here far exceeds the price. Oh and, a little tip, don't skip out on Tuesdays and Thursdays. You'll see what I mean after your first week.

I've trained with Jason, Taryn and Mercedes. Amazing trainers. They check your posture and provide personalized feedback on how you can improve it, and this happens in every session. It's a judgement free zone and they work with everyone, from a beginner to someone who has been doing it for a while. This personalized attention and a family like vibe is what motivates me to keep going with them, even though it's bit of a drive for me

There are so many aspects to love about Axis Strength Training. From your first session, you are never left on your own to figure out the workouts. You are continually being educated on proper technique, setting goals and are given a plan to reach those goals in the most effective way. With Axis, you will discover what you are capable of in order to become your best self. Classes are made up of various skill levels with adaptations always available. Classmates are always supportive of one another no matter your skill level. Emphasis is placed on correct form with quality of movement over quantity. I have been with Axis since it’s beginning and I am continually challenge to be at my best.

So thankful for this group of people! Axis Strength is so much more than a gym, but a supportive group of people who will help you to become stronger physically and mentally, no matter where you are starting out. Over the past 4 months, I can honestly say I was encouraged both within and outside of the gym to persevere and become a stronger, more confident version of myself. I've learned about my body, both in how to perform physically and how to fuel my body nutritionally to be at its best. This is definitely a place to push past your limits and accomplish more than you ever thought you could. Highly recommend!

At 41 years old I have never felt stronger. I joined cross fit with doubts that I would be able to do it. I have never felt more supported than I do by each one of the coaches. Their encouragement and support keep me going and have allowed me to see what I can accomplish. At Cross fit Axis, we are like family. When you are not there at least one of the coaches are checking in to see if you are ok. I'm excited to get back each day to see everyone and see what I can accomplish next!
