Upcoming Events

If you’ve never done a powerlifting meet and have been curious to try, our mock meets offer a great first time competitor experience!

Tell your friends while spots are available! Limited to 30 lifters so get your signups in early! This is a non-sanctioned meet so no federation membership is required.

The WRPF rulebook will be followed for this event.

Join us in class M/W/F at 5-7 PM to learn the cues and what our referees will be looking for.

The decision to put your health and fitness on the forefront is a big one, and we want to make sure you get the best results. Your program starts with a fitness assessment where we’ll discuss your goals and motivations to exercise as well as any limitations or concerns you have about exercising. The consultation will conclude with workout so you can get a feel of what a workout looks like at Ruffier Fitness. See more services available from our NASM certified trainers.

Commercial Gym Vs Private Gym | Ruffier Fitness Akron

At a commercial gym there could be any number of people there at any given time, this can make it difficult to plan and stick to a certain routine because you may or may not be able to use a specific piece of equipment. Ruffier Fitness is only open for our private training clients and our group personal training workouts. This means you won’t have to wait for equipment or change your workout because of other gym users. Read about the differences between a private and commercial gym here!

Somatic Movement Therapy

Emily Josephine | Somatic Movement Therapist in Akron | Ruffier Fitness

Feeling off-center or stuck in patterns your body can’t shake?This gentle, intuitive session uses opposing points in the body—what’s tight here often links to what’s collapsed there—to create realignment, ease, and deep reconnection.

Think nervous system reset meets intelligent movement.

All bodies welcome for Somatic Movement with Emily!
