We sat down with Shelley, founder of Creatonic, busy mum, business owner, and AXO member, to talk about something a lot of people struggle with…

Knowing what you should do, but not knowing where to start.

For years, Shelley knew strength training was the missing piece in her routine. Like many people, the challenge wasn’t motivation. It was finding the right environment, knowing what to do, and feeling confident enough to begin.

We also talked about the inspiration behind Creatonic, why she believes creatine isn’t just for bodybuilders, and how combining strength training, good nutrition, and consistency has helped her feel stronger, sleep better, and show up with more energy for work, family, and life.

If you’ve been thinking about getting back into training, this is your sign to stop overthinking it and just start.

You don’t need to know everything.
You just need the right place to begin.

Sam’s wife dragged him in.

That’s how this story starts.

Like a lot of dads, Sam was busy with work, family, and life. Training wasn’t really a priority, and if we’re honest, he probably wouldn’t have walked through our doors on his own.

Fast forward to today and things look very different.

He’s lost weight.
He’s stronger.
He’s fitter.
He has more energy.

But the biggest win?

Being able to keep up with his son.

Because fitness isn’t really about the number on the scales or how much weight is on the bar.

It’s about having the energy to be present.
The confidence to say yes.
And the ability to do more of the things that matter most.

Sometimes all it takes is someone giving you a little push to get started.

Thanks, Sam’s wife .alba.anderson 👏

The fitness industry celebrates the wrong people.

We’re inspired by the parents juggling careers, kids, school drop-offs, life admin, and everything in between, who still find a way to show up for themselves.

That’s real discipline.

That’s real strength.

Before anyone says anything…

The opening line was written by Matt. Ryan would like that officially noted.

Now that we’ve cleared that up…

This month we’re moving into our isometric phase.

More pauses.
More control.
More stability.
More time spent in the positions where people are usually weakest.

Turns out three seconds can feel surprisingly long when you’re holding a heavy squat.

Good luck everyone. You’re about to find out for yourselves.

Fitness is hard enough.

Getting here shouldn’t be.

4 dedicated AXO carparks.
Plenty of street parking right outside.

No laps around the block.
No arriving late.
No excuses.

Just show up.

The biggest lie winter tells us:

“Future you will be more motivated.”

Future you is just as busy.
Just as tired.
And still waiting for the weather to improve.

The people who stay fit through winter aren’t more motivated than everyone else.

They’ve simply stopped waiting to feel like it.

Consistency beats motivation.
Every single time.

WINTER SUMMIT IS HERE. 🏔️

Winter is where most people lose momentum.

The mornings get darker.
The weather gets colder.
Life gets busier.

And suddenly the habits that felt easy in summer start slipping away.

That’s exactly why we’re running the Winter Summit.

From June 15th to July 25th, your goal is simple:

Show up.

Maintain 75% of your weekly sessions and you’ll earn an exclusive limited-edition AXO Winter Summit Hoodie.

No luck.
No draw.
No shortcuts.

Just consistency.

We’ll also be tracking a live leaderboard throughout the challenge, with the overall winner taking home dinner for 2 at .nz 🍷

The goal isn’t to be perfect.

The goal is to keep showing up when it’s easier not to.

As a Psychotherapist, Lexi spends her days helping people navigate anxiety, stress, overwhelm, and depression.

One thing that comes up time and time again?

Movement matters.

Not because exercise is a magic cure, but because it’s one of the most powerful and accessible tools we have to support our mental health.

When life feels overwhelming, when your thoughts are racing, or when everything feels too big to tackle, movement brings you back into your body.

It creates space.
It regulates your nervous system.
It helps you feel grounded again.

The challenge isn’t knowing exercise is good for us.

It’s finding an environment that makes it easy to keep showing up.

An environment that removes the intimidation, confusion, pressure, and barriers that stop so many people from being consistent.

Because often the hardest part isn’t the training itself.

It’s simply getting started.

And sometimes, moving your body is the first step toward feeling like yourself again.

Most gyms focus on the workout.

We focus on the person.

Knowing your name. Knowing your goals. Understanding your injuries. Tracking your progress. Coaching every rep. Creating an environment you actually enjoy showing up to.

Because fitness isn’t just about what you do for an hour.

It’s about having the right support system to keep showing up for years.

Does your current gym ticks the boxes?

Most people think explosive training is only for athletes… or that it’s dangerous.

But the reality is, power is one of the most important things we can train as we get older.

Your ability to react quickly, stabilise yourself, move efficiently, catch yourself when you trip, lift things confidently, and stay resilient all comes back to power and coordination.

The issue isn’t explosive training itself. It’s doing movements you’re not prepared for, with no guidance or progression.

At AXO, we coach movement first.
Then we progressively build strength, control, and power in a safe environment tailored to the individual.

You don’t need to be an athlete to train like one. 💪
You just need the right structure and coaching.

Leah explains it perfectly 👏
