Couldn’t be happier! I’ve been a client for 4 months and am so incredibly pleased with the training I have received. My trainer, Julia, is amazing. The program she created for me has been perfect for addressing the concerns I brought to her in our first session.For the first time in years, I feel like I can actually move my body without being worried that I’m going to hurt myself. My core was so weak after two pregnancies with bed rest and c-sections that I was constantly compensating for that, which had led to chronic back pain. But within a month of stability and mobility training, I could tell a difference. And a few months later, my core is so much stronger, my posture is better, body fat percentage is down, muscle mass is up, I have more energy, and I’m loving the strength training we’re doing now.Totally recommend! AXIS is a special place. Jake Thompson knows his stuff and hires people who do, too. :)

I love small group training at Axis Training Studio! Axis helped me go from mommy couch potato to motivated, energetic mom able to follow the growing kid in various activities and now take on my own activities. I feel like a college kid again playing tennis and mountain biking.Jake and his staff are the best! Try them out, they are always working to support the clients to be successful in their personal goal working around any limitation someone might have.

I was pleasantly surprised at how much I genuinely enjoy going to this studio, as I’ve never had a positive experience in gyms. I never know where to start, or if I’m even exercising correctly, and with how massive the gyms are, I always wanted to get out as quickly as possible due to being anxious over large crowds of people. My dad has been going to this studio for a couple of years now, and every time he talks about his experience, it’s always been positive, so I decided to try it for myself. At Axis, I don’t have to worry about larger crowds since their studio is small, and I also don’t worry about whether I’m doing the exercise correctly since I have a trainer to help guide me. I love that they tailor the workouts based on your personal goals! The personal trainers are also great! They’re very kind, and their positive attitudes are reflected in the atmosphere they’ve created. The trainers explain why we do specific exercises and how they will help me reach my goals, which I think is excellent, so I’m not exercising without knowing how it benefits me. Overall, it’s been a great experience, and now I look forward to working out!

Since August, roughly 4 months, I have been going to AXIS and I am humbled and grateful for the amazing trainers here! I spent 45 years building bad habits and ignoring fitness, when I finally had some success on my own I learned that effort without knowledge was causing me to do a lot of work but also harm to my body. Chad and Emily have been amazing unrelenting source of positivity and knowledge, they never make me feel bad having to remind me for the 100th time to stop certain bad habits and posture. Also, the complete structure of my workouts are 100% custom to my personal needs. When I have had issues with a weak lower back, they have been able to switch roles and prove how much skill they have at recovery as well. This last point cannot be understated, their guidance and dedication goes far beyond my expectations!I recommend AXIS to anyone who has hit a wall on their health journey and wish you all the best!

I love working out with Jake at axis. I’ve always enjoyed working out and I go to the gym everyday but through training I’ve learned many different exercises and techniques that I never knew. I also lost 24 pounds in the 9 months since I started up at axis. I highly recommend axis for people of all ages and all fitness levels.

Axis is a fantastic community. The owner, Jake, takes time to listen to feedback and individualized concerns of each member and adjusts their experience and training accordingly with special attention to any history of injury. There’s always a new challenge going on the keep members motivated- and the accountability provided is A1. Highly recommend!

Axis training is a great small cross training studio for any fitness level. I have gone to many hit/CrossFit studios in both Gainesville and around the country and axis ranks in my top 5 favorites for cleanliness, efficient workouts, and community. I felt right at home in my first class. Target Demographic for this gym seems to vary but ages range from 25-65 with all varying fitness levels and specialty in taking care of previous injuries. Class sizes probably max out at around 12 people total (comfortably) in the room at a time so all group fitness classes are intimate and you get the attention you need for proper form and just the right amount of push/motivation. I took my first class with Taylor Allen and she really made me feel taken care of while still feeling like a “regular” at their studio. Cant wait to go again!

As a triathlete, I sought out a facility for pressure boot recovery. Axis training studio is much more. Jake and his team are helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly; not only in person, but I can hear the smile on the other end of the line when I call to make my appointments. Whenever I need a boot session, I look forward to the visit!

My husband and I love training at Axis. The staff is always very friendly, the energy is very vibrant, and it has kept us motivated to come train even during the days when we’re feeling very tired.We have always been active, but since having my daughter, and during the pandemic, we were not able to have a regular physical activity or find the time for it. I found that having a coach and a short, yet intense, train session has helped a lot to keep us on track and well motivated.In a short period of time we could already notice change in our body measures, weight and level of energy.I definitely recommend Axis to friends and whoever wants to have a healthier lifestyle.Great job team!

The knowledge and customized workouts are great, but the people are what make this place truly awesome. Everyone genuinely wants you to succeed and it shows in their attentiveness to detail every time I go in. I highly recommend this place no matter what level of fitness you are, thank you Axis!!

AXIS is a different kind of training experience. I’m a massage therapist, and so I’m interested in training my body to be able to continue doing my chosen work for years to come. I want functional, corrective exercises to make and keep me strong. Jake and Chad at AXIS provide just that. I am so grateful I found AXIS to help me continue doing what I love.

Love love love Taylor and the training program she puts together for me. As an amputee, we have to be more creative sometimes and she's fun to banter with on those tough days. So many cool tech tools available to track progress and guide you along. Really love this place and the fact that it's affordable is amazing!
