He is so sweet, patient, and kind. He is very informative and knows everything about everything! He is very motivating as well and has a unique approach and mindset when it comes to fitness and I am very appreciative of him! I found this place earlier in the year and was very intimidated to reach out, but I don't regret it at all. When I finally decided to pull the trigger, I was greeted by Victor, who was immediately so kind and welcoming! Everyone here, whether they are a trainer or trainee, is so kind! I was a bit embarrassed at first, but that quickly went away as I realized everyone is here for the same thing! This is a totally judgement free zone and I would not go anywhere else!

The gym has a great variety of equipment, and it never feels overcrowded. I can come in, complete an efficient workout, and avoid waiting around for machines.

I highly recommend Axiom Fitness to anyone looking for a clean, well equipped gym with a supportive and positive atmosphere.

Since I've been working with Mackenzie, she has helped with my eating habits, mobility and strength training. I'm fitting in all my clothes better, I'll have to buy new pants soon, my back hasn't given me any problems while working out. In fact my back and whole body feels better than it has in a long time. I'm losing weight and gaining muscle and most importantly I have a way better understanding in what I eat. It's awesome. I can't recommend Train with Dave enough, and I'm excited to continue training here.

After trying several other locations, JR at New Life was the first one to really hear me in what I was looking for and modify his recommendations based on what I wanted and needed. He pushes me, but also hears me when I hit limits. It's a great balance and I'm getting stronger each week. Plus, he's available to help with nutrition recommendations as well.

This is for anyone who's ever felt intimidated by lifting weights -- especially postpartum mamas or…read moremoms-to-be. I'd been eyeing this gym since March but was too shy and honestly a little nervous to pull the trigger. I'm so glad I finally did. When I say I've tried everything, I mean it: Weight Watchers, Herbalife, body wraps from "It Works," personal trainers (multiple times), 24 Hour Fitness, Gold's, Chuze, Orangetheory... you name it. I was also kickboxing 2-3 hours a day and dancing regularly -- but still wasn't gaining the strength or seeing the results I wanted. For years, people told me I needed to lift heavy weights. But even with gym memberships and trainers, I felt overwhelmed and lost. That changed when I finally booked a meeting with one of the owners, Richard. And let me tell you -- I felt seen. He listened to my goals, understood why my current routine wasn't working (kickboxing, OTF, and Gold's included), and laid out a clear plan tailored to me. My goals: * Build strength * Lift heavy * Prep for two showcases this year * Start training for competition Richard showed me how I was overtraining (too much cardio, not enough rest) and helped me refocus my time and energy. Now I'm working out less, with more intention -- and finally seeing results. So I signed up for the unlimited membership. And here we are -- nearly two months in, and I'm seeing progress I hadn't seen in years. Is it out of my comfort zone? Absolutely. But the community and instructors have made all the difference. The facility is gorgeous, clean, and right up my alley aesthetically. Everyone is so welcoming and friendly Here's a quick shout-out to the amazing instructors I've worked with so far: Art - He will challenge you. He will push you. No BS -- he knows what he's doing. He pays close attention to form and demands the best from you because he wants you to get that pump! His attention to detail and deep knowledge really shine. Richard - Super motivating with a strong presence. He gives great feedback on form and always knows how to push you. Don't be surprised if he adds weight or resistance when you least expect it -- he's not letting you coast. Dulce - I absolutely adore her classes. Her voice, teaching style, and overall vibe are perfect for someone like me -- shy and introverted. She's patient, checks in often, and really makes sure things click if you're struggling. Joseph - Humble, inspirational, and so patient -- even while sneakily adding more weight to push your limits. I really appreciate his calm energy and the way he adapts to different learning styles. Kaitlyn - Mighty and feisty! She's kind before class, but once it starts -- no mercy. She will absolutely make you work, and then some. Mark - Super encouraging and positive. He makes it easy to ask questions -- especially helpful for a newbie like me. He creates a safe space to learn and grow. If you're on the fence about trying this place -- let me just say, if I can do it, so can you. It's worth every drop of sweat. The intimidation fades fast once you meet the staff and community. Truly one of the best decisions I've made for myself.

I had worked out on and off for years and tried different programs, but working with Nate helped hone in the small nuances I needed to understand how your body really works. I think more importantly, Nate cares about your fitness journey and is personally invested to see you succeed. He keeps it fun and sustainable. I've learned getting in shape doesn't need to be difficult, just but just being consistent. When I came to Nate, I was suffering from a previous back injury, and since, I no longer have flare ups, and overall, my body is stronger. My friends notice and compliment the increased muscle and tone they see change in me. He changes up the workouts a bit every month to keep challenging and not boring. Nate is easy to work with but also great at pushing you and keeping you accountable.

I never worked out routinely before going to The Lab and I really didn't have a desire to work out.

I still have my struggles but I always know that I am equipped to deal with them now and Filipe was a guide post to me getting here. Filipe's passion is like no other. He personally works with each client to understand their strengths and weaknesses and then tries to tailor a workout around those strengths and weaknesses. I hated running when I first began training with Filipe. Fast forward four years, I ran a half marathon with Filipe and another client. HE WILL help you reach your goals if you let him. The Lab has a new home location now but the feeling of comfort, support and determination is still the same.
