About Stewart Axon
Fitness Coach with Construction Experience
Over 40 years in the industry. Training informed by real industry experience, not theory.
Who I am
On site. On the tools. In machines.
I’m Stewart, the founder of Axon Fitness. I’ve spent over 40 years working across construction and fitness, and I’ve seen first-hand what that kind of work does to the body over time.
Throughout my career, I’ve always prioritised staying fit and capable. Not for sport. Not for appearance. But to stay reliable, productive and able to keep working.
Axon Fitness is built on that foundation.
Construction background
From hod carrier to machine driver
I started as a general labourer and hod carrier, moved into demolition, then into groundworks and machine driving. Later, I ran my own tiling, bathroom refurbishment and decorating business.
Because of that, I understand the real demands of the job:
- Long hours and travel
- Cold, wet and challenging site conditions
- Prolonged time in machine cabs
- Repetitive physical tasks
- Pressure from deadlines and management
Over time, these take their toll. Not just physically, but in fatigue, consistency and injury risk.
The approach
Built from real work, done properly
What it’s designed to do
Fit for work and life
- Reduce injury risk
- Improve movement and work capacity
- Help your body handle long hours and repetitive work
- Support long-term physical capability
The aim is simple: keep you fit for work and life, while reducing unnecessary wear and tear over time.
Professional training
Qualified and experienced
Alongside my construction career, I formalised my fitness knowledge through professional training.
- Qualified Personal Trainer
- Nutritional Coach
- Training in anatomy and physiology
- Progressed to Senior Trainer
Earlier in my fitness career, I worked as a one-to-one coach, adapting training to suit different people, abilities and working lifestyles. That experience shapes the advice I share here.
What makes it different
Not theory-based fitness
It’s built from:
- Real-world construction experience
- Years of practical, hands-on coaching experience
- An understanding of how people actually live and work
The result is advice that’s practical and structured, built around real work demands and easy to adapt to your own situation.
This is about staying strong, mobile and capable. Not just now, but for the long term.
Still working and training after 60. I use the same approach myself.
