We know some of you have been asking and we are happy to announce that we will be staying in Canal Place, but we are moving to the ground floor across from Missing Falls Brewery.


We thank everyone who has stuck with us through broken down elevators and the intense summer heat we got on the 6th floor. We look forward to seeing you all on the 1st floor with more room, new equipment, services and easier access! 

Join us in class M/W/F at 5-7 PM

Compassionate and Motivating Personal Trainers

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.

 

 

Powerlifting and HIIT Circuits | Group Fitness Classes & Group Personal Training

These group fitness classes will be a great option if you’re still looking for a great workout, but not the one on one attention of a personal trainer.

Your personal trainer will be on the weight floor giving guidance and a spot if you need it!

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!

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!
