I love Axis Sport, it is a very unique and special gym! When I was 50 years of age, I was in constant pain due to back issues and had to give up tennis which broke my heart. After working with an individual personal functional trainer for 1 1/2 years, my frozen joints were finally moving again and I was ready to begin working out and building strength on my own. I found Axis because my daughter s volleyball club sent their 12-18 year old athletes there and I was most impressed by the challenge and diversity of equipment and exercises. Although I have my favorite trainers at Axis, I have worked with all of them and each is very good. After 3 years at Axis, my back seldom aches (and it never lasts more than a day or so); the pain has moved out through my hips and knees as I learn how to move properly and strengthen my body. Each trainer at Axis checks for pain or injuries at the beginning of class, watches closely and provides individual adaptations to exercises as the class moves through the sets to ensure proper functional movement and avoid injury. Amazingly, over the last 3 years, with Kris Rutkowski s gentle encouragement and recommendations, I have lost 30 pounds, look like an athlete and am more fit than ever in my life! Every single day, at least 1 person tells me how fabulous I look more importantly, I feel younger and vibrant (BTW, I am back on the tennis court)! After seeing my enthusiasm and watching my physical improvement, my husband has joined me at Axis; we absolutely love the classes, people and encouraging atmosphere. I wholeheartedly recommend Axis for young and old alike. The classes are varied and very challenging (working in groups encourages us to work harder than one-on-one training and it is easy to get an extensive, safe workout in 1 hour). Since day one, I have felt like I am important to each of the trainers at Axis and fitting 2 classes per week into my schedule is simple because of the variety of daytime and evening classes offered.
