Praxis Fitness Success Stories

When I walked into Praxis Fitness for the first time I knew I had found what I was looking for.

Before starting at Praxis Fitness I didn’t really know what was in store for me. I was working in an office full time; I wasn’t happy and didn’t know why. I heard about Praxis Fitness and knew I needed a change in my routine of life. Everything for me changed after that moment. Read More

Sure, the thin waist and tight butt look good – and looking good makes me happy – but the times I most thank Praxis happen when I’m encased in neoprene, slugging my way out to the surf line-up or, even better, paddling myself into a wave. I’d been surfing for years prior to Praxis, but maintaining the upper body strength necessary frustrated me. If I surfed every day, the muscles I needed to be strong for paddling would respond.

My motivation for joining Praxis was to get in shape. I was a few pounds over what I wanted to be, but primarily I was ready jump in with both feet and feel good about my body again.  I had been a runner, got hurt.  Somehow I just healed right into “out of shape”.  Read More
