Dear Fitness Buffs,
Many Kagay-anons have heard about Axis Gym. It is very sad and unfortunate that I bring you the news that it was burned down when there was a great fire that started in the neighboring store (same building with Axis) last May 20, 2009 in the afternoon. I shall be posting a pic of how Axis Gym looks now...
Axis Gym, as I was informed, was one of the pioneering fitness gym in Cagayan de Oro City. It began sometime in the late 1970s and has produced many bodybuilding champs. The latest news that I've heard from their clients is that most of the gym-goers of Axis has transferred to Holeshot Gym (@ Motormate, Cogon), while some transferred to Pelaez and other neighboring gyms. One bodybuilder even told me that there were many guys who were pumping iron at the time of the incident. They could see through the window that the fire's getting really big, so they dropped their tools, grabbed their stuff and ran down the stairs...
I was able to visit Axis Gym only once to inquire about some supplements and to check out the place. The feel of the place is truly very musculine. The people are friendly and accomodating too. I'm really very sad about their loss -- all those pictures (since they began) and their winning trophies -- now turned to dust.
