Our first ever session had 1 person.
Across 3 sessions that day, we had 8 people total.
And to us, that was a win. We were business owners, and we were elated.
7 years later we have:
🪓 Gone from Erin working a full time job all day, then coming to the gym in the evening, and Cory working for over a year and a half for free, to a team to 12
🪓 Exited the franchise we originally started our business as and rebranded to our own business, Axe Fitness
🪓 Built Axe Fitness from the ground up
🪓 Moved into our new facility just 3 months ago.
Some days, it feels like we’re not moving fast enough.
But then we look back.
And we realize just how far we’ve come.
Progress doesn’t always feel like progress when you’re in it.
So if you’re somewhere in your “1 person” season right now, keep going.
Trust the process and keep showing up.
Because you never know what your “here” will look like 7 years from now.
We are a long ways from where we want to be, but damn proud of the progress we have made.
