Axel A. Vega R.

One day I was walking down the hallway, and I ran into Chef. William. I asked how service was upstairs and he said “come check us out some time” so I did, only to find my self Stajing for 1 day. By the time my day was over I got offered a position here at Addison. I clearly didn’t know what I signed up for. I get to perform surgery on food on a gastronomic level. NO FREAKING WAY. I was in shock. I joined this team june 2022, with no culinary degree, just a drive to excel in this restaurant industry. However I did have my vices and if you have your priorities mixed up. You will get eaten alive by your own self destruction, and that’s what happened. I failed mentally, physically, and spiritually. From breaking my leg, or to taking a step back and seeking help from a constitution. I still got granted a position available here. Once the dust settled and I was right with myself truly putting my recovery and health first.I have came back stronger than ever. My first week is officially finished and I could not be more humbled and proud of my FREAKING self to make it back in this world with such mental clarity and peace in my heart to continue pushing everyday and uphold the 3 🌟 🌟🌟 to its highest level of excellence within the restaurant and within my self. #allinallthetime

This ISNT about new resolutions.
It’s about honoring the ones I made when no one was watching. The promises and prayer whispered in the dark.
The ones made when surviving felt like the only victory. It feels like the home stretch
but I know better.
The work doesn’t end here.
It sharpens. This is for the mornings when getting out of bed felt impossible.
For the nights where isolation felt safer than connection.
For the days depression parked itself in my heart
and convinced me stillness was all I was worthy of. For the moments where giving up felt logical and comfortable.
 I’ve shed versions of myself I had to outgrow.
I’ve rebuilt from pieces that once broke me.
Through discipline.
Through stillness.
Through choosing presence over escape again and again. I say yes to what’s ahead.
I won’t run from suffering anymore.
I sit with it. Acknowledge them.
I learn from it.
I respect the pain that carved me into who I’m becoming. Every emotion has a purpose.
Every scar has a story. 
This is for the ones who feel deeply in a world that tells them not to or encourage them to do things in moderation. To anyone on the edge:
This is your reminder to do the hard sh*t.
Even when it’s lonely.
Especially when it’s lonely. I’ve lost friends.
I’ve lost family.
I’ve lost myself more than once. But I found something stronger in the process, 
a mindset that refuses complacency,
that rejects comfort as a ceiling,
that chooses growth as a responsibility. This isn’t motivation.
This is commitment. This is my relentless pursuit. 📸: @b21.jesus Fit: @asrv Gym: @theyardgym_normalheights #Reel #fitness #mindsetmatters #mentalhealth #sandiego

𝔗𝔥𝔦𝔰 𝔦𝔰 𝔬𝔲𝔯 ℜ𝔢𝔩𝔢𝔫𝔱𝔩𝔢𝔰𝔰 𝔓𝔲𝔯𝔰𝔲𝔦𝔱 What makes you the best version of yourself?? Something we ask ourselves on the daily. Multiple times throughout the day. From Dusk til Dawn We train physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually, for longevity. But what is our purpose?? This isn’t just about fitness, it’s a lifestyle, from the moment you wake up to the moment you lay your head. EVERYTHING we do is imperative! It’s about learning, through mistake, from the right’s as well as the wrongs. This video encapsulates anger, chaos, noise,harmony, cadence, passion and grit. & a reminder to self, that I never have to live the way I used to. Things won’t ever change by chance, it requires change. Thank [email protected] for bringing it all together. Much respect brother 🫡‼️ #hyroxtraining #hyroxworld #hybridathlete #cinemotography #gym #gymlife #sandiegoliving #sandiegofitness

Don’t get me wrong, structure, consistency, and progressive overload absolutely matter. Repeating movements over time is what helps build strength, skill, and adaptation. But I also think a lot of people have become so locked into repetitive training that they forget the body actually craves challenge, coordination, variability, rhythm, and play too. Sometimes your body needs new problems to solve. This type of training keeps the brain engaged, challenges coordination, exposes weak links, builds athleticism, and honestly just makes training feel FUN again. It reminds you that movement can be expressive, dynamic, reactive, and powerful all at once. I think a lot more people would enjoy fitness if they stopped viewing movement as something they HAVE to do and started experiencing what their body is actually capable of. 📎 Try this workout: Push-Off Push-Ups: 3x5-8 Barbell Push Press: 4x5 Barbell Hang Cleans: 4x4-6 Pull-Ups: 3 x AMRAP Cable Bat Swings: 3x8/side ‼️ Foundation Reset is built around this idea in a lot of ways, improving movement quality, coordination, strength foundations, stability, control, and teaching the body how to move better as a whole instead of just isolating parts.

Las Vegas was always the destination… but how we got there, that’s where everything was built. Somewhere between Santa Monica and the desert, it stopped being just a run. It became a test. A proving ground. We adapted. We connected. We pushed through. Brutal heat. 40 MPH winds. A mountainside fire we had to outrun. The desert doesn’t care who you are, it strips you down piece by piece. Skin, muscle, mindset. And when it’s over… you’re left with one question: who do you choose to be in the aftermath? Crewing alongside @jess__hoff , @dani_bobanii , & @luismartinezainslie was equal parts chaos, laughter, and just the right amount of delusion. And our runners from @adamsrclub … different breed. Truly a unit. Grateful for everyone who made this possible @bica_sd @oakley @strivesoda @lululemon We didn’t get there without you. This wasn’t just miles covered… this was something earned. Thank you @thespeedproject ⛓️

This wasn’t about the workout. Not about how I look, how fast I move, or how strong I am. We’re about to run from Santa Monica to Vegas… and that kind of journey demands something deeper. Not surface-level motivation. Not hype. A fire. Because this isn’t just my race. It’s our journey. @adamsrclub

Two years with ASRV… and honestly, I loved every second of it. What started as just being part of a brand turned into something way deeper. I became a full-on fabric geek, learned how to lean into discomfort, and opened doors within myself I didn’t even know existed. Somewhere along the way, I ran my first half marathon… going on a full this year. I guess I became a runner or maybe I just tapped into that version of myself that was always there. More than anything, it was the people. This team taught me so much about discipline, mindset, and showing up for yourself every day. I’ve always believed in only representing what truly aligns with me, and @asrv has always been that brand. I’m grateful to have been part of their journey, just as much as they’ve been part of mine. Joel, thank you for believing in me and for the lessons you’ve passed down. Not just in athleticism, but in life. Truly grateful. This isn’t the end, just the start of a new chapter @asrvsandiego @asrv

I got to the race this morning and almost didn’t run. Let’s just say, things went left immediately 👀😂 For a second I really thought, yeah, today’s not the day. But then I was like f it, I didn’t come all this way to quit before I even started. Did I prepare perfectly for this race? No. Did I fuel the way I should’ve? Also no. Life has been LIFE-ing and I’ve been learning in real time, but one thing about me, I’m not sitting it out. So I ran. I adjusted. I slowed down when I needed to. I let go of what I thought it “should” look like and just stayed in it. And somehow, I still surprised myself. I hit a PR. 😮‍💨 That’s when it clicked for me, STOP waiting for things to be perfect. START when it’s MESSY. Start when it’s INCONVENIENT. Start when it’s NOT IDEAL. Because perfection doesn’t come first, it’s built AFTER you decide to go anyway. Next race in 2 months. I’m coming DIFFERENT. Special thank you to @_vegaabundo 🤍 Having someone by your side who pushes you, believes in you, and keeps you going when things get hard, it makes all the difference. I’ve learned so much just being around you, and I’m ever so grateful for that 🥹 #HalfMarathon #Run #Runner #Athlete #Inspire

Round 1: the suffering begins 😅. HR =165 I was told zone two workout today 👀 lies were soo told no breaks all of these workouts back to back as round 1 🕺☺️#hitworkouts #fitnurse #torture

Finished my first HYROX with my partner @_vegaabundo in 1:24:21. On 3 hours of sleep. Training wasn’t perfect. Nutrition wasn’t perfect. I wasn’t at my “best.” But somewhere in the middle of that race, I realized something. We don’t stop because our bodies fail. We stop because we start negotiating. We argue with ourselves. We look for exits. We look for comfort. And the moment you win that argument, everything changes. I saw people older than me. People stronger than me. People in wheelchairs doing this. Different bodies. Different stories. Same decision. It’s never just physical. Lesson learned: Your limits aren’t physical. They’re conversational. Win the argument. Thank you @asrv and @asrvsandiego for making us feel and look empowered with the fits! Thank you @b21.jesus and @husamthegymfreak for the footage and the support! And most of all thank you, Axel for being the most encouraging, loving, and badass partner a girl could ask for 🔥🤍 @hyroxamerica @hyroxusa #HYROX #HyroxWorld #Athlete #Workout #Vegas

All fun and games bro. Catch me goofin at your local @hyroxworld event. Blessed to be here Thank you God 🙏 #hyrox #gym #fitness #reelitfeelit

Team @asrv hits up @hyroxamerica to connect with our community. We asked athletes one simple thing… How does your gear actually perform when it matters? From training days leading up to race day 🏁, the feedback was consistent: comfort under pressure, durability through the grind, and versatility beyond the gym. Here it from our athletes themselves on what they think about the brand, it’s not all talk. We gave away some merch, showed love to the community, and one lucky winner will win some gear from our flagship location @asrvsandiego Hyrox Las Vegas was different 🔥 The energy. The grit. The people. 📍 Sin City 📸: @b21.jesus 🎞️ #hyrox #lasvegas #performance #fitness #hybrid
