Without health, nothing else matters. It’s the one thing that, when lost, becomes the only thing you want back. Despite its undeniable importance, many people take their health for granted. As a society, we are becoming more sedentary and consuming more processed, unhealthy foods than ever before. This needs to change. I want to shift the narrative. I want to make exercise and eating real, whole foods the norm.
I often joke that if you want to stand out in today’s world, all you have to do is get strong. But the truth is, it’s not really a joke. It’s a sad reality that those who work out regularly are often labeled as “obsessed” or “crazy.” In reality, they’re simply living a normal, healthy life. This just shows how far we’ve strayed from prioritizing our well-being.
The current norm is to go to the doctor for a prescription rather than fortifying our bodies against illness through regular movement and nutritious food. But here’s the good news—it has never been easier to set yourself apart and truly thrive. Simply prioritize your health through diet and exercise, and you’ll be in the top 1% of society.
I’m writing this today to encourage you to take this simple step: prioritize your health. This habit will set you apart from the unhealthy majority. Do it for your personal freedom. Because let’s be real—you’re not truly free if you’re confined to a hospital bed or unable to hike with your grandkids. No one is holding you back; the power to choose freedom is in your hands.
Real freedom comes from having options. Are you physically capable of embracing new adventures, or are you limited by aching joints and breathlessness from neglecting your fitness?
Your freedom is your responsibility. The best way to maximize it is by prioritizing your health. This is the cultural shift we work hard to develop at Axis Strength Training. We want you to experience the benefits of true freedom. We want lifting weights and eating real, whole foods to become the new normal.
If you want to be free, you have to be a rebel. Today’s rebels train consistently and take control of their health. These are our people. Come join us!
