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.
