One of the biggest reasons Josh wanted to build AXO was because he believed fitness should be about so much more than looking good.

Sure, getting stronger and fitter is important. But what really matters is what that allows you to do.

Having the energy to play with your kids after work. Having the patience to be a better partner. Being healthier so you can be around for the people who matter most.

The goal was never to create a gym that just helped people chase six packs.

It was to build a place that helps people become better parents, better partners and better humans.

Because at the end of the day, your family won’t remember what you looked like.

They’ll remember that you were there.

“I’ve been cleared for exercise… now what?” 🤔

One of the biggest misconceptions after having a baby is that being “cleared” for exercise means returning straight to your normal workouts.

In reality, being cleared simply means you can begin progressing your movement. How that progression looks will be different for every woman.

If you’ve had an uncomplicated pregnancy and birth and you’re ready to start rebuilding, Rebecca from The Pelvic Institute takes us through three simple, functional movements that can help bridge the gap between early recovery and more structured exercise.

✔️ Four-point hover
✔️ Sit to stand
✔️ Hip hinge

These movements aren’t about burning calories or “bouncing back.” They’re about rebuilding confidence, improving strength and stability, managing pressure through the core and pelvic floor, and preparing your body for everyday tasks like getting off the couch, lifting a baby capsule or picking up the shopping.

As we continue learning from Rebecca, our goal is to better understand how to safely progress women returning to exercise, when to modify movements, and when it’s appropriate to refer on for extra support.

Remember, every postpartum journey is different. There isn’t a timeline that suits everyone, and returning to exercise should always be based on how you’re progressing, not what week you’re up to.

You don’t need to do everything. You just need to do something.

Most people don’t fail because they lack motivation. They fail because they’re following a programme that was never designed for them.

That’s one of the biggest reasons Ryan wanted to build AXO.

Too many people are thrown into the same workouts, regardless of their goals, experience, injuries or how they move.

At AXO, everyone starts with a comprehensive movement assessment so we can understand you first.

How you move.
Your injury history.
Your goals.
Your strengths.
Your limitations.

Because great coaching isn’t about making everyone do the same thing.

It’s about helping every person make progress in a way that’s safe, sustainable and built for them.

If you’ve been stuck following one-size-fits-all workouts, maybe it’s time to try something different.

Personalised coaching. Structured programming. Real progress. 💪

The first time bringing your baby somewhere new can feel a little daunting.

Then you realise:

They’ve got a safe space.
You’re surrounded by supportive people.
And you can finally take a moment for yourself.

That’s exactly what Nicole found in our 10am sessions ❤️

“I need to get fitter before I join a gym.”

We hear this all the time.

But here’s the thing… nobody finds a good workout easy.

As you get fitter, the workouts don’t get easier, you become more capable. You lift a little heavier, move a little faster, and push yourself a little more.

That’s why you won’t hold anyone up. Everyone is working at a level that’s challenging for them.

And the best part? The feeling you’re chasing isn’t during the workout. It’s the feeling afterwards. The clear head. The confidence. The energy that carries into the rest of your day.

So if you’ve been waiting until you’re “fit enough”…

Stop waiting.

You don’t have to be fit to start. You just have to start. 💪

“What if my baby cries?”

It’s one of the most common concerns we hear from mums.

The good news?

Babies cry.
Parents stop and settle them.
Then they get back to training.

No judgement.
No pressure.
No awkward looks.

Just a room full of people who understand that life with a baby doesn’t always go to plan.

And that’s exactly how it should be ❤️

Movement or exercise… what’s the difference? 🤔

One of the biggest misconceptions around postpartum recovery is that “exercise” means going back to the gym, lifting weights or doing high-intensity workouts.

But movement and exercise are really the same thing. They’re just different points on the same spectrum.

For one woman, exercise might look like:
💜 Breathing exercises
💜 Gentle pelvic floor work
💜 A 10-minute walk
💜 Light mobility

For another, it might mean:
🏋️ Strength training
🏃 Running
💪 Returning to sport

The key is understanding that everyone has to start somewhere.

Where you start depends on:
• Your pregnancy and birth
• Your current symptoms
• Your goals
• Your confidence
• Your support systems
• And most importantly… what you actually enjoy doing.

There isn’t one “right” way to return to exercise after having a baby. The best form of movement is one that’s appropriate for your body, aligned with your goals, and something you’ll actually stick with.

One of our biggest takeaways from Rebecca at The Pelvic Institute is that postpartum recovery isn’t about getting back to where you were as quickly as possible. It’s about progressively building towards where you want to go.

A gym should notice when you’re not there.
Not because we’re checking attendance.

Because we genuinely care.

Some days Ryan’s celebrating someone’s PB.
Some days he’s checking in because they haven’t been in for a few sessions.

Some days it’s a simple message asking, “Hey, are you okay?”

We know our members by name.
We know their goals.
We know when life’s getting busy.

And we know that sometimes the hardest part is just getting back through the door.

We’re not the type of gym that hopes you don’t use your membership.

We want you here.
We want you training.
We want you feeling your best.

Because when you join AXO, you’re not just another number on a spreadsheet.

You’re part of a community that notices when you’re missing, celebrates your wins, and genuinely wants to see you succeed.

That’s the difference.
