Another quarterly company meeting completed by your whole Axio team!
In addition to individual biweekly meetings and monthly staff meetings, the entire Axio company gets together to learn how to better serve our clients!
At each of these meetings we also recognize a few trainers who have gone above and beyond to exemplify our core values of Fun, Accountability, Zeal, and Effort (FAZE).
We chose to recognize Churchill’s very own Cartina for (obviously) being a prime example of FUN!
Its no secret that Catrina puts in a lot of time and effort on the back end to think of fun weekly challenges, exiting ways to do cardio, incentives for reaching goals, and simply having a positive attitude no matter what!
Thank you Catrina for making Axio a FUN place to be!
We also want to thank our clients for making our jobs fun and fulfilling. We hope to continue these meetings to evolve as a company and as trainers so we can keep helping you meet your goals.

We all know we should avoid processed foods as much as possible. But that can be difficult as you browse the grocery store aisles because those colorful boxes and cans can be enticing. Shop the perimeter first! Fill your cart with fruits, vegetables, lean meats and dairy.

Here is this week’s healthy and easy recipe! 😊

I love this recipe because it uses ingredients you likely already have on hand, and it goes together quickly in one bowl. Just mix all the ingredients, spread the batter in the pan and bake! I did modify the original recipe, swapping out the butter for a little olive oil and the white flour for whole wheat flour, and also added chia seeds. I made them plain, but you can add chopped apples or strawberries, or any berry.

One Bowl Applesauce Oat Bars

-1 cup white or whole wheat flour
-1 ½ cups rolled oats
-1/4 cup brown sugar
-1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
-3/4 teaspoon baking powder
-1/4 teaspoon salt
-1 egg
-1 cup unsweetened applesauce
-1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted or 1/3 cup olive or avocado oil
-1 teaspoon vanilla
-2 Tablespoons chia or ground flax, optional
-1/2 cup chopped fruit, optional

Preheat oven to 350. In a medium bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients, then stir in the wet ingredients one at a time. Spread into 8x8 pan sprayed with non stick spray. Bake 25-30 minutes. Makes 12 bars.

Approximate nutrition using the original recipe (white flour and butter, no chia seeds) for one bar: 189 calories, 3g protein, 2g fiber, 9g fat, 5g sugar, 23g carbs, 148mg sodium

In the heat of the summer, cold sandwiches and salads are popular choices for lunches and dinners. When making chicken, egg or tuna salad, try replacing all or some of the mayo with plain yogurt or mashed avocado. Yogurt adds creaminess without the bad fats, plus adds extra protein. Avocado adds creaminess and healthy fat. Chop up celery, onions, carrots, apples or grapes to bulk up the salad. And instead of serving the salads on white bread, try spreading them on apple slices or making lettuce wraps.

Serve this delicious salad at your 4th of July picnic! Whip it up in just minutes without heating up the kitchen. It’s full of protein and fiber, and the combination of barbecue sauce and ranch are delicious. If you like a little extra spice, drizzle some sriracha over the salad too!

Barbecue Chicken Salad

1 bag of shredded lettuce or any lettuce of your choice
2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
1/4 cup barbecue sauce, plus 2-3 tablespoons (for topping), preferably one with low or no sugar

Place lettuce in large salad bowl. In a separate bowl, add the 1/4 cup of the barbecue sauce to chicken and stir until well mixed.

July is National Ice Cream Month! 🍦🍨

You can still celebrate without wrecking your healthy eating habits. Make “NICE” cream! Slice two large bananas and freeze the pieces. Add them with 2-4 tablespoons of almond milk (or any milk of choice) to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Want a flavor? Add other frozen fruit like strawberries or blueberries. Enjoy as soft serve or put into a freezer safe container and freeze until firm.

Using a foam roller for an isometric hold while doing single side chest presses actually helps Jody‘s with his goal of reaching a 200 pound chest press! Sometimes slowing down your reps and focusing on imbalances can really help progress you to the next level! 💪

Well summer, and the HEAT are officially here! 🥵And when that heat is on, it’s easy to get dehydrated. Drinking water cools the body. When we sweat, water that we have stored comes to the surface of the skin then evaporates, which cools us off. Keep water with you so that you can sip all day. And eat plenty of fruits and veggies that have high water content such as watermelon, cucumbers, tomatoes, apples, celery, peaches and zucchini.

Here is this week’s healthy and easy recipe! 😊🍅

Whether you grow your own tomatoes or pick them up at the local farm market, they’re great just sliced and sprinkled with a little sea salt and maybe some Italian seasonings. They’re also delicious in this pasta salad, that when made with whole wheat, chick pea or protein pasta, makes a healthy, filling meal perfect for summer time! It’s a great side dish to bring to picnics too.

Bowties with Spinach, Tomatoes and Asiago

1 package Barilla Protein Plus bow tie pasta
1 package fresh spinach
2-3 fresh tomatoes, roughly chopped
6 ounces shredded Asiago cheese
1/3 cup olive oil
2-3 cloves fresh garlic, finely minced

Cook pasta in salted water until al dente. Meanwhile, combine the rest of the ingredients in a large bowl. Drain pasta and add to the bowl. Stir well and enjoy! Best served room temperature. If pasta seems too dry, drizzle with a little more olive oil. Makes around eight 1 ½ cup servings.

How’s you should look after your first tabata workout 🏋🏼‍♀️ 😅 great work, Jody!! 👏

Need to add a little more fiber to your diet? Give artichokes a try! One cup packs a whopping 10 grams of fiber. And 5 grams of protein! They are loaded with vitamins and minerals and can help with digestion and blood sugar levels. If you buy canned artichokes, always make sure to get the ones packed in water, not oil, which can add extra fat and calories. For an easy and tasty way to enjoy them, watch for an upcoming healthy and easy recipe!

Here is this week’s healthy and easy recipe! 😊

Summer is almost here, and with the warmer weather comes barbecue! What goes best with those burgers and hot dogs? Baked beans of course! Instead of popping open canned baked beans and heating them up, try this homemade version. You will cut down on all the added salt and sugar, plus they taste better! And they are quick and easy to stir together. Since this is a vegetarian recipe that doesn’t use bacon, you can add a little smoky paprika if you like. Meat-eaters will never miss the bacon!

Vegetarian Baked Beans

1 Tbs olive oil
2 cans of great northern beans
1 small onion, minced
¼ cup low sugar ketchup
1 Tbs (or to taste) Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbs Dijon mustard
1-2 Tbs sugar (optional)
1 Tbs molasses
1 tsp sea salt
¼ tsp black pepper
Smoky paprika to taste (optional)

Heat oil in pan, add onion and cook until tender. Drain beans, but reserve ½ cup of the liquid. Rinse beans. Add the ketchup, Worcestershire, mustard, molasses, salt, pepper and paprika to the saucepan and stir. Taste to see if you want to add sugar, then proceed with desired amount. Add the beans and simmer at least 20 minutes. Add bean liquid to thin sauce if needed.

Can also be done in the slow cooker: Cook onions, then add all ingredients to slow cooker and cook on low 6 hours. Makes 4-6 servings.

Approximate nutrition per serving: 141 calories, 6g fat, 553mg sodium, 4g fiber, 10g sugar, 3g protein
