Stand out from the Competition with The Axle 

Offering a variety of programming options is essential to the success of recreation centers. More programs allow you to reach a variety of demographics and accommodate more goals. This makes you a true “one stop shop” for physical activity for ALL. What percentage of your programming is dedicated to HIIT classes versus steady state classes? Excluding yoga, barre and water aerobics, what other low-intensity steady-state options are you offering?

Power Systems has teamed up with The Axle to provide facilities with a low-intensity steady-state programming option that will appeal to beginners, HIIT lovers and everyone in between.

The Axle could be the solution your facility needs to differentiate from the competition and provide members a new way to shift gears in their workouts.

CEO and co-founder Andrew Page originally conceived the idea for The Axle based on his work as a strength coach for NBA players in New York City. By pairing Olympic Lifts with unique rolling exercises performed with the same barbell, Andrew recorded dramatic strength and metabolic gains across his clientele. Realizing there was no existing solution for this type of movement pattern and exercise, he approached his friend and healthcare investor Anuj Patel, COO/co-founder, to help design and manufacture a lightweight, portable and durable barbell was designed for all populations to lift and roll. The Axle was born.

The Axle is an ultra-light, 11-pound barbell that is fully collapsible for easy storage in any training facility or home, suitable for indoor or outdoor use and ultra-portable for workouts on-the-go. This unique piece of equipment can function as a barbell, core roller, planking tool or an anchor for feet, and is also capable of holding any Olympic plate for added resistance during training. The Axle Barbell’s ease-of-use and functionality provides anyone with the opportunity to master hundreds of exercises in a wide range of vertical and horizontal planes.

The Axle Workout was developed as a group fitness program based in sport science that promotes range of motion, midline core stabilization and tempo training. Featuring the specialized Axle Barbell, the program combines functional exercises with choreographed, modern tempo training to create an upbeat, cardio-meets-core workout. The Axle curriculum offers four structured class designs via a single product and a plug-and-play solution to increase your low-intensity steady-state (LISS) class offerings and an additional HIIT option. Each workout style utilizes the Axle’s versatility to empower users of all skill levels:

Axle FOUNDATIONS – Improve ROM in 30 minutes (LISS)
Axle CORE – Enhance Core Strength in 30 minutes (LISS)
Axle FULL BODY – Engage the entire body in 45 minutes (LISS)
Axle HIIT – Enhance Performance Training (HIIT)

The Axle Workout features a nationally accredited certification – eight CEUs – and is fully patented and trademarked in major markets around the globe. If you are looking for more steady-state programming, the Axle could be the perfect solution to differentiating yourself from the competition while giving members what they need.
