Why We Train

Do we train just to lose fat? Do we train out of vanity, in an effort to look better? No. It is so much more than that. For those of us who have been training for years, it has become an integral part of who we are. If we miss a few days, we don’t feel right. This is the point I want everyone to reach—where training becomes second nature. Here's why:

Strength training is, of course, great for your body and longevity—most people already know that. But let’s talk about some of the lesser-known benefits.

- Brain Health & Cognitive Function: Strength training reduces the risk of dementia and improves overall cognitive function, helping you stay sharp as you age.

- Mood & Mental Health: Strength training releases endorphins—your body’s natural “feel-good” chemicals—improving mood, reducing anxiety, and combating stress. It is quite literally a natural antidepressant.

- Stress Relief: There is no better way to relieve stress than pushing yourself in the gym. The discipline and effort required to train translates to resilience in daily life.

- Longevity & Disease Prevention: Strength training significantly reduces all-cause mortality. Building muscle and strength acts as armor, protecting against illness, disease, and injuries.

- Confidence & Resilience: At first, training builds confidence by improving your body, but over time, it becomes about something deeper. It’s the confidence of knowing you showed up, put in the work, and followed through on your commitments. It teaches you to silence excuses and negative self-talk, fostering resilience that carries over into all aspects of life.

With all of these benefits, it amazes me that more people aren’t strength training. I know firsthand what it has done for my life—it has been the catalyst for so many positive changes. That’s why I want to share it with others. It’s my mission to make strength training a normal part of people’s lives.

This is why I started Axis Strength Training. Our mission is clear: to help 2,000 people in the Fulton and Montgomery County area build a lifelong habit of health and fitness, so they can live longer, healthier lives.

How do we fulfill this mission? We provide a platform where anyone—whether a total beginner or an experienced lifter—can develop fitness as a habit. We’ve spent nearly a decade creating an environment where people can thrive and establish lasting, healthy routines. And we’re just getting started.
