LIT Axis Review – Is This Fitness System Worth Trying?

One of the hardest parts about sticking to a fitness routine is actually getting to the gym.

We all make our resolutions and swear to ourselves that this is the year we are going to stick to them…and then life gets in the way.

Sometimes, after a long day at work, the last thing you want to do is change into workout clothes, get in your car, and hit the gym.

What if you could bring the gym to you?

There are thousands of home gym products, but the problem with most of them is that they are expensive, they take up a lot of space, and they don’t provide a full body workout.

This is where LIT AXIS comes in. LIT AXIS is an all-in-one home workout system that can fit in a small box in your closet (and, it’s affordably priced!).

In our LIT AXIS review, we are going to discuss how the product works, what types of workouts you can do, who it is best for, and whether or not it’s worth it. Let’s get to it!

About LIT AXIS

LIT AXIS is positioned as an “all-in-one” home workout system that can help you achieve a variety of fitness goals. Whether you are trying to build strength, boost your cardio, shed some pounds, or improve your flexibility, LIT AXIS has the tools you need to achieve your goals.

So, what exactly is LIT AXIS?

At first glance, LIT AXIS appears to be a simple set of resistance bands, but it’s actually much more than that (we’ll explain why as we go through the review).

There are two parts to the LIT AXIS system:

1. The exercise equipment (resistance bands)
2. The App

You can think of LIT AXIS as the Peloton of resistance bands. While the Peloton appears to be just another exercise bike, it’s the built-in training and classes that have made it wildly popular. LIT AXIS offers the same appeal to people who want a more versatile exercise experience.

LIT AXIS provides at-home exercise equipment backed by an app that provides the guided workouts you need to reach your fitness goals (and it’s way smaller and cheaper than a Peloton!)

What Comes in the Box?

Let’s start by taking a look at the physical component of LIT AXIS – the product itself.

When you open the box, you will find:

• 2 AXIS Smart Sensors
• 2 Pairs of Resistance Bands (with different levels of resistance)
• 2 Handles
• 2 Ankle/Wrist Cuffs
• A Universal Anchor

All of this is packed neatly into a carrying case that can be used for storage or travel.

So, what exactly is all of this stuff?

The AXIS Smart Sensors are the clips that connect to the LIT app via Bluetooth. Essentially, this is what makes these “smart” resistance bands. The Smart Sensors can track your workout and provide insights in the app (more on this later).

The resistance bands are what actually give you a workout. You clip these bands onto the sensors to facilitate resistance training. The resistance bands come in two levels of difficulty, so you can slowly work your way up to more difficult exercises or switch the bands for different types of exercises.

The handle attachments are used for any exercise involving your hands (i.e. gripping the handles). This isn’t limited to upper-body workouts. While the handles can be used for arm workouts like bicep curls, they can also be used for squats, lunges, etc.

The ankle/wrist cuffs allow you to strap either your ankles or wrists to the resistance bands for specialized workouts.

Lastly, the universal anchor is the anchor you use to hold one end of the resistance bands in place. The anchor can be connected to a door, heavy furniture, or any other suitable anchor.

LIT AXIS App

The LIT app is what makes this product an “all-in-one” fitness system instead of a standalone piece of fitness equipment.

The LIT app offers a few key features:

1. Classes – Follow along to specialized workouts designed specifically for the LIT AXIS system
2. Workout Tracking – Track your reps, calories burned, pounds lifted, and time under tension in real-time
3. Progress Tracking – Track your progress over days, weeks, and months

Getting Started

The LIT app is available for iOS and Android.

To get started, simply download the app.

After you download the app and create an account, you will be asked a few questions about your physique and fitness goals. These include:

• Gender
• Height
• Weight
• Any Injuries
• Fitness Goals (Endurance, Strength, Mobility, etc.)
• Fitness Experience (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced)

The answers to these questions will be used to personalize your experience.

The app itself is clean, intuitive, and easy-to-use.

Classes

The LIT app has an impressive selection of fitness classes that you can take from the comfort of your own home. Each class is presented by a professional instructor who walks you through the exercises and keeps you motivated throughout the workout.

You can filter classes by:

• Difficulty (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced)
• Muscle Group (Upper Body, Lower Body, Core, etc.)
• Equipment (LIT AXIS, Bodyweight, or LIT Strength Machine)
• Accessories (Ankle Cuffs, Strength Bar, Etc.)
• Instructor
• Duration (10-50 minutes per class)
• Style (Strength, Pilates, Cardio, etc.)

You can also use “Freestyle Mode” to create and track your own workout.

Workout Tracking

One of the unique and exciting features of the LIT AXIS system is that the resistance bands are connected to the LIT app via Bluetooth. Not only do you get workout guidance via the classes, but you can also track your workouts in real time.

The LIT App will track:

• The total pounds lifted (based on the resistance measurement)
• The number of reps
• The time of the workout
• The time under tension (i.e. time you are actually working out)
• Estimated calories burned during the workout

This is definitely the best feature of the LIT AXIS system, as it allows you to see how effective your workouts actually are. It also provides some extra motivation if you want to reach specific workout goals (i.e. burn a certain amount of calories or do a certain amount of reps). You can also connect to a heart rate monitor (sold separately) if you want to track your heart rate during a workout.

Every workout is tracked and real-time and stored in your account – which leads to the next point.

Progress Tracking

The LIT app shows your performance over time. You can track your stats over a week, 3 months, 6 months, or all-time. You can see a calendar that tracks which days you worked out and how many classes you’ve taken.

This can be particularly motivating for those who want to “gamify” their approach to exercising and keep track of progress. Speaking of gamification, you can also earn badges for different achievements.

What Types of Workouts Can You Do?

You would be surprised by how many different workouts you can do with resistance bands.

The LIT AXIS and LIT App can target every muscle in your body. You can do full-body workouts or target specific areas on different days.

Of course, all of the workouts are based on resistance training and bodyweight workouts. These workouts can be used to:

• Build strength
• Improve cardio
• Burn fat
• Increase flexibility
• And more

You can target:

• Your full body
• Upper or Lower Body
• Core
• Specific Muscle Groups (i.e. Biceps, Triceps, Quads, etc.)

You can follow classes specifically created to target these areas or create your own workout regimen.

The only limitation of the LIT AXIS is the maximum resistance. While the resistance bands can give you an excellent workout that will increase your heart rate, improve endurance, and boost strength, they are not a replacement for heavy lifting (i.e. bench pressing, squatting, deadlifting, etc.).

Who is LIT AXIS Best For?

LIT AXIS offers fitness solutions for just about everyone. Let’s get into some details of who it’s best for, as well as some of the potential limitations.

People Who Value Convenience

First things first, the LIT AXIS is ideal for anyone who prefers at-home workouts to gym workouts. The product is incredibly convenient to use. Furthermore, the classes in the app add a social component to the workouts so your at-home workouts don’t feel as isolating.

People Who Need Some Extra Motivation

Many people struggle to stick to fitness routines. Fortunately, the LIT AXIS system makes it easier to stick to your fitness routine. Of course, you still need to be committed to putting in the work, but this product makes it easier for two reasons.

First, as mentioned above, it is convenient. You can work out from the comfort of your own home, follow along with professionally recorded classes, and track your progress in real-time.

Second, the app holds you accountable. The LIT app keeps track of your adherence to workouts as well as your progress over time. In this sense, it’s similar to a FitBit (or any other fitness tracker). It’s a lot easier to get your 10,000 steps in when you have a fitness tracker guilting you for sitting all day! The same is true for the LIT app. It provides some extra motivation to stick to your routine so you can see your progress and boost your stats.

People Who Want an At-Home Workout Solution

Some people may use the LIT AXIS system religiously. They will replace their gym membership with the LIT AXIS and accompanying app.

While the product offers all of the tools you need to cancel your gym membership, many people still like going to the gym. There is a social component to gym workouts as well as a broader selection of exercise equipment.

The LIT AXIS can still provide value if you’re a regular gym-goer or fitness junkie. If you are a regular gym-goer, you can still benefit from having an at-home workout solution for days when you can’t make it to the gym or you simply want to get a quick workout in without the hassle of commuting to the gym. The LIT system can also be used for active recovery days or fitness goals that may not require gym equipment (i.e. increasing mobility/flexibility).

LIT AXIS Pricing

The LIT AXIS system can be purchased on the company’s official website for $199. The product ships for free and comes with 90 days of free access to the classes in the LIT app.

If you choose to keep your subscription active after the 90-day trial period, the app costs $9.99/month or $79/year. While the resistance bands will still work without app access, you really need the app to make the most of the product.

This leads to the final question of our review – is the LIT AXIS worth it?

At $199, the product is more expensive than a simple set of resistance bands, but this isn’t a fair comparison. It would be like comparing a $2,500 Peloton to a $100 fitness bike you can buy on Amazon. It’s not an apples-to-apples comparison.

We’ve referred to the LIT AXIS as a “system” throughout our review, and that’s really what it is. It is a versatile at-home exercise program that offers classes, exercise equipment, and tracking tools.

If you plan to use the LIT AXIS system regularly, it definitely justifies the price. The original purchase price ($199) is much cheaper than other “smart” exercise equipment and the monthly App subscription is cheaper than a gym membership (as well as apps from other fitness products).

Additionally, the product is backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee which adds peace of mind for those who are unsure if the system is a good fit.

LIT AXIS Review – Final Verdict

Overall, we were impressed by the LIT AXIS. The product is high-quality, effective, and versatile. If you are looking for an at-home workout system that can help you stick to a fitness regimen and reach your fitness goals, the LIT AXIS is a great pick.
