Axioms Fitness — Attraction in Anaheim

I’ve been a member of Axioms Fitness for about a year, and I feel it’s important to share my experience so future members know what kind of environment they may be walking into.

Ignored Concerns: On one occasion, a female member deliberately recorded me while I was working out. When I brought this up to the owner, he shrugged it off with a laugh and said, “haha, you finally made it.” That’s not how you handle a privacy issue. I laughed it off at the time to avoid awkwardness, but it told me a lot about how member concerns are treated here—brushed aside and minimized.

Unsafe Incident: More recently, another member cut dangerously close to me while I was finishing a set — all he had to do was wait ten seconds. When I asked him to respect my space, he ignored it. Later, he came up to me again at the water fountain. This is all on video. The gym has cameras, and I asked staff to review the footage. They refused. If anyone doubts this review, the camera footage doesn’t lie. It will show the member approaching me twice, me getting heated, and the owners choosing to handle the entire situation at the front counter in front of everyone instead of privately, as I specifically requested.

Management’s Bias: It became clear that this member is a personal friend of the owners. One even commented, “You’ve been here about a year, gone for a couple months, now you’re back,” as if to discredit me. That confirmed what I already felt: this was one-sided, and they were going to protect their friend instead of handling it fairly. Their solution was basically, “let’s squash it, he won’t do it again” — which is not accountability.

Owning My Part: I’ll be honest — I got angry. I got heated because my boundaries were crossed, my concerns were ignored, and the owners put me in a one-sided situation in front of the entire gym. I’m an alpha male, and if I tell someone to leave me alone and give me space, and he deliberately comes near me again, naturally I’m going to react. But here’s what they won’t mention: as I was leaving, I apologized. I told the owners, “I see where you’re coming from, I own my part, but you need to handle this better.” That’s the truth. The camera footage would confirm everything — the incidents, my frustration, and my apology.

The Bigger Picture: Axioms Fitness feels more like a clique or social hangout than a professional gym. If you’re not in their inner circle, don’t expect fairness. The owners spend more time on their phones or talking with friends than managing the floor. Conflicts aren’t handled discreetly or professionally, boundaries aren’t enforced, and favoritism is obvious.

A gym should be a place where every member feels respected, safe, and supported. At Axioms, that was not my experience. Until the owners step up and start running the gym with fairness, accountability, and professionalism, I cannot...

I've been a member at Axioms for over 3 years now, and I can confidently say it's one of the best gyms I've ever trained at. The facility is top-notch — there's an impressive amount of free weights, more squat racks than I’ve seen in any other gym, and the equipment is practically brand new and meticulously maintained.

What truly sets Axioms apart, though, are the owners. They genuinely care about the members — always ready with advice, quick to respond to any needs, and even check in with a supportive "You good?" text, when I’ve slacked off a bit (we've all been there). That kind of personal accountability and encouragement makes a huge difference.

The community here is another standout. Fellow members are respectful, friendly, and always willing to help. Plus, it’s never overcrowded, which I love.

Highly recommend Axioms to anyone serious about training in a supportive, well-equipped, and positive...

My husband and I love axioms! We’ve been going for 5 years now and I can’t imagine going to any other gym. It’s a medium size gym, but I’ve rarely had a problem using/having access to the machines and weights I need. They have a HUGE range of machinery that even larger gyms don’t have, with a trainer or staff member on site in case you need help. The classes provided at axioms are also run by certified trainers who know what they are doing (I’ve never been more sore the next day) AND know how to do modified versions in case of a healing injury. They’re open 24/7 which makes it so easy for me to go before or after work without feeling rushed. Even during the pandemic, they loaned out equipment for at home use! Everyone is so friendly, 10/10 we always...
