Why resistance training

Improves overall mood

Resistance training produces "increased cognition, mood, and general quality of life".

PMID: PMC4090891

Enhances brain function

Studies consistently demonstrate that resistance training improves cognitive and executive function across all age groups.

Lengthens lifespan

A meta-analysis documented a 21% reduction in all-cause mortality from strength training alone, rising to 40% when combined with aerobic training.

PMID: 31104484

Reduces anxiety and depression

Evidence shows resistance training meaningfully supports individuals experiencing mild to moderate anxiety and depression.

About

Hi, my name is Axa! I grew up in Seattle and went to high school in Reno. The gym has helped me radically transform both my mind and body, and I hold gratitude for the opportunity to help others walk the same path. Connecting with and learning about my clients is one of my absolute favorite parts of this job.

In my free time I enjoy reading, riding my motorcycle, and playing Dungeons and Dragons.
