Learning to use your AXIO Trainer takes a little practice—so don’t expect to be a pro the first time you pick it up.
Just like learning to jump rope or ride a bike, your muscles and nervous system need time and repetition to develop the feel, rhythm, and coordination required for complex movement. With AXIO, everyone progresses at a different pace—and that’s exactly how it should be.

Losing control of the AXIO isn’t a failure; it’s feedback. Those moments challenge your body to adapt, refine force, and improve neuromuscular control. Simply get it rotating again and keep going. Each attempt builds awareness, control, and resilience, and it will feel easier with every session.

Trust the process, embrace the challenge, and understand that the learning phase is where much of the benefit lives. Mastery comes with reps—but growth happens along the way with AXIO Centripetal Training.

<GREATER SHOULDER AND ELBOW ISOLATION>

<EASIER TO CONTROL WITH DOMINANT ARM>

<LESS CORE AND LOWER BODY STABILITY DEMAND>

<LESS RESISTANCE TO SHOULDER AND ELBOW>

<DEVELOPS FORCE CONTROL FROM MIDDLE OF BODY>

<GREATER CORE AND LOWER BODY STABILITY DEMAND>

Begin smoothly.
Moving too quick and abruptly makes it harder to sense and control the rolling weigh inside.

Create force from your center.
Drive the AXIO from your core and larger muscle groups rather than relying on the smaller muscles of the elbow and wrist.

Use your senses.
Closing your eyes can enhance proprioception and help you better feel and control the weight inside the AXIO.

Experiment and explore.
Try different grips, body positions, and rotational directions. There’s no single “right” way—learning comes from exploration.

Practice with short, frequent sessions.
Start with 3–5 minute sessions throughout the day. Consistent, low-fatigue practice is the fastest way to build control and confidence.

Explore a variety of AXIO grips, positions, and movements designed to activate multiple muscle groups simultaneously, deliver fast training benefits, and progressively challenge users at any level.

Set expectations early
Let new users know that learning AXIO takes reps. Struggling to control it at first is normal—and part of the training stimulus.

Prioritize feel over speed
Encourage smooth, controlled movement so users can sense the rolling mass and develop rhythm before increasing speed.

Coach from the center
Cue force production from the trunk and proximal segments rather than excessive wrist or elbow activity.

Allow mistakes to happen
Losing control provides valuable feedback. Resist the urge to over-correct—guide users to re-establish rotation and continue.

Use hands-on technique and simple cues
Assist in moving AXIO to feel internal weight and give push start to rotate. Phrases like“move it big and then move it smaller,” tend to work better than over-instruction.

Progress gradually
Start with stable base, one or two-handed control - whichever is easiet for the individual, maximize control before changing base of support, AXIO position, adding movement or unstable surfaces

Dose appropriately
Short, frequent bouts (3–5 minutes) are often more effective than longer sessions, especially early in the learning process.

Match the goal to the context
AXIO can be used differently for warm-up, training, rehab, or recovery. Adjust intent, intensity, and volume accordingly.
