AX Fitness

"I've tried all the various offerings that Christine has at Ax Fitness and I can honestly say- you can't go wrong with any of her classes or personal training sessions. Personal training is awesome in that you get the one-on-one attention and can focus on your individualized goals, try new things without an audience, and have the whole gym to yourself! On the other hand, classes are nice for making connections and sweating it out in a group setting. My favorite was Cardio Kickboxing because I had never worn boxing gloves or punched anything other than the air prior to class. It was really exhilarating to feel the resistance of the punching bag. I will definitely be back for lots more of that! I also enjoy BrewFit Social where you put in the hard physical work then reward yourself with a local beer alongside new friends you've likely made at class. I'm 45 and came to Christine with a focus on strength training and muscle retention. She listened to my health and fitness goals, made me a personalized plan that pushes my comfort zones but is achievable- and I actually enjoy working out a lot more since I joined Ax Fitness. My partner does personal training with Christine as well and the progress they have made together is amazing. This neighborhood gym is a fantastic asset to the community."

"I am a Personal Training client at AXFitness and have been doing strength training since August 22, 2023. Signing up was one of the best decisions I have made. Christine works with me to set goals and helps me listen to what my body can and cannot do. Her guidance and one on one coaching is helping me feel better and stronger. I can see that my body is getting toned. I am over 60 years old and never thought I would be able to do this. Thanks to Christine at AXFitness I feel healthier and more fit than I ever have."

"Would highly recommend checking out Ax group classes! I've been going to this location for over a year and previously worked with Christine at her old gym in Northeast for a few years. This gym is in a converted garage, so the classes are small and inclusive. The workouts are great - there's a mix of weights, cardio, and body weight. My body feel super strong compared to a year ago. Christine offers modifications as needed - when I broke my hand (not at Ax), I could still attend group classes and get in a good workout. Ax also offers buddy and personal training. It's so lovely to have Christine and Ax in the Nokomis neighborhood!"

"I’ve been going to AX Fitness for almost a year. The workouts are awesome, the trainer constantly pushes me but also keeps everything fresh. I mostly do personal training sessions but the group classes are also great."

"I've been going to AX Fitness weekly since October and I love it. There is a mix of classes; all are challenging, varied workouts that have you feeling stronger every time. Christine has pushed me more than I would ever push myself working out alone, but she always offers modifications when appropriate. I had an ankle injury this fall and she made the classes work for me, no questions asked. If you love a mix of strength and cardio, and know you need someone to keep you accountable (like I do), this is the place."
