Axle CrossFit^®

Fantastic experience: Returning to CrossFit after being 1 year postpartum was intimidating for me. I had been doing CrossFit for a couple of years prior but taking a year off led me to losing proper strength and technique. I chose to start over at a new gym (Axle!) thinking I would just sign up for a month just so I can get back in the groove of things. Here I am 9 months later still at Axle and I have proudly claimed it to be my “home” gym. First off, Alex & Jen (the owners) are a power couple who are there to set you up for success. Alex is knowledgeable and will show you proper techniques and give you critical feedback so you can improve the lift and use the correct group of muscles to do so. Jen is approachable and makes you feel welcomed the minute you walk thru the door with her warm smile. What I love a out this gym and what has prompted me to stay is their programming . There is a weightlifting/strength portion in the beginning of the class, prior to the WOD. Your 1 hour gym time is valuable and I feel like I am getting my money’s worth from my membership. Not to mention I’m so much stronger and confident in my CrossFit skills!

Fantastic experience: BEST GYM IN TOWN! - I first met the owners of Axle CrossFit at a different facility and when they made the decision to leave and open their own place it was a no-brainer for me to follow them. The knowledge and dedication, not only the owners, but all of their coaches have for their athletes is one and a million. Each and every one of their coaches is certified in either CrossFit, Yoga, Olympic Lifting, P&PA, Personal Training, Conjugate Method, and TRX. They offer a wide range of training for all ages! And are the only gym in town that offers Strongman, my favorite class because who doesn't like lifting heavy S#*T! Axle CrossFit is my home away from home where I get to go to get strong both physically and mentally. They have become my gym family and I look forward to so many more years together!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this gym for many reasons. They are incredibly welcoming to new and current members. They have in house events often that are open to the public to celebrate and build community within the gym. Their smart and engaged coaches make you feel confident that you have proper form and have chosen an appropriate weight for the workout. They can quickly modify movements for any injury or restriction. They have a wide variety of coaches from Olympic lifting, Strongman, Yoga, obviously CrossFit and a Certified Pregnancy and Postpartum Coach. They also offer a women’s only class, Victory Women which is incredibly appealing to women especially those who are new to working out. The workouts are CrossFit style but again are incredibly adaptable to anyone at any age or level. They have a coach for every season of life and are more than equipped to help you reach your goals.

Fantastic experience: I’ve belonged to several gyms in my 34 years in Carson City. AxleCrossfit is an amazing experience. The owners & coaches are so approachable. The members are of all ages and abilities and are very supportive and encouraging! I love that we can utilize our beautiful weather by running outdoors. The facility is clean and the equipment in wonderful condition. The view out of the windows show the stunning mountains and there is a coffee bar The owners host workshops and fun activities to encourage the members to mingle and thus become a better fitness family. Great job to all!!

Fantastic experience: Thank goodness the coaches all know the appropriate scaling options. I started a year and a half ago at age 60, after years of little exercise and was in poor shape. I have not had one injury! Yes I get sore but it’s all resolved in a day or 2. I am so thankful for this place.

Fantastic experience: I joined Axel CrossFit because I needed a change in my life. I’ve done CrossFit in the past but this gym is different. All the coaches are knowledgeable, motivating and help me to step out of my comfort zone and give my the confidence to be a better version of myself! I see a new beginning to my fitness journey! I’m happy to be a part of this CrossFit family and look forward to many PRs and accomplishments with Axle CrossFit. I would recommend them to anybody!

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere, fantastic people, beautiful new facility. The coaches are excellent at adapting (scaling) the movements and motivation to the individual. It's been a while since exercise was a part of my daily routine, so I had some trepidation as a newbie. Most of all, I didn't want another injury. The attention I get from the coaches is not only a confidence booster, but gives me peace of mind that I'm doing it correctly to minimize chance of hurting myself. My wife and I are still kind of new to Carson City, and this has been a great way to meet new friends and become part of the community. It's a really diverse set of people, all ages and backgrounds. There's a running group, biking group, and open gym on Saturdays at 9am is a great combination of morning workout and "donut social," (everyone needs a cheat day!) It's not your typical, "gym-in-a-box." Unlike a lot of others, Axle is not a couple of racks in a shell of an uninsulated building. Everything is new, and the turf center floor is awesome. Floor-to-ceiling windows with beautiful views of the mountains make sunrise yoga sublime. In addition to CrossFit, they also have the aforementioned yoga; women's only Victory classes; "Oly" (Olympic Style Lifting) with Amber (who is a riot!), and the ultimate in functional strength, "Strongman," which is for anyone who wants to move heavy things quickly and safely. It's a lot more than just a gym, you should try it out.
