Shake up your workout routine by trying a class at one of these neighborhood fitness studios, gyms or pop-ups!  Here’s the scoop!

AXL

If you like spinning, you’ll love this spot! The second you walk in, you feel the positive vibes. It’s an indoor 35-bike spin studio where you can reserve your exact bike spot when you book your class via the website or app. AXL has complimentary towel service, shoe rentals, purified water, and even an on-site local coffee cart serving Easties own Travel Mug coffee. The locker rooms and showers are immaculate and built to freshen. The merch is tantalizing. PLUS PLUS, they offer individual infrared sauna rooms that can be booked in addition to spin classes.

I recently got back in the saddle after an unintentional break from spin and signed up at AXL. Needless to say, I am HOOKED. Count me buckled in from now on. They offer different theme classes with varying class times to accommodate what you are in the mood for that day! The lights, MUSIC, and space is fire. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. They make sure you are all set prior to spin go time. New membership deals are beyond reasonable, and from there, the packages are versatile in options and price! In my first class, I discovered three songs I became obsessed with and played on repeat for weeks. On their site, the spin instructors’ bios and playlists are accessible, which makes it super easy to enhance your day-to-day playlist. EVEN MORE, AXL is all about putting together fun events and collaborating with other locals. I’ve seen firsthand them taking advantage of our beautiful city backdrops and waterfront area and taking the workout outside at times. CHECK THEM OUT!!!! YOU’RE WELCOME.
