👟THE SCOOP 

 Let me just start by saying this place is PERFECT no matter where you are on your fitness journey. Wow. I was so impressed with this place. All of their workouts include so many ~simple~ exercises. Now that doesn’t mean any of these moves are easy. I’m just saying that Axon really takes it down to the basics. They are here to show you that workouts don’t need to be complicated in order to be effective. Luckily, they have a huge space with every sized weight you can imagine. Most classes will include several different size weights. This makes it easy to scale your workout up or down depending on how you’re feeling that day. If group classes aren’t your thing, they also have a robust personal training program. You’ll be sure to find all you need from any of the trainers here.

👟THE VIBE 

This studio is the perfect balance of fitness and education. The instructors are obvi super knowledgeable and provide a wealth of resources. What stood out to me the most in this studio is the decor. All over the studio walls you can find anatomical representations of muscles. Axon brings the science of fitness to the forefront and chooses to focus on the health benefits of exercise rather than aesthetics. They want you to leave class knowing exactly why you performed the exercises you did, and how it is impacting your overall performance. Axon wants their clients to be as educated and empowered as possible so there’s less room for injury, over training, etc.

Does the science behind working out at all interest you? Or are you more of a ‘wing it’ exerciser?
