Ruffier Fitness started in the basement of Jon’s Suburban home, but we knew we wouldn’t be able to truly have an impact on our clients until we were able to get out and find a home. We looked at several options all across the city of Akron, but nothing beats being in the heart of downtown.
Since setting up “the penthouse suite” as we fondly call it on the 6th floor of Canal place, we’ve learned that there’s no better place to build your body, and your life than downtown Akron, Ohio. Let us tell you our favorite things about our downtown Akron gym!
Close to Home | Personal Training Downtown Akron
Whether you’re living in any of Akron’s luxury downtown apartments or you’re commuting from any of the surrounding cities or suburbs, downtown Akron is easy to get to for all of our clients. Ruffier Fitness wanted to make sure that we stay easily accessible no matter where you are in the rubber city. Being downtown we’re typically only a 10-20 minute drive for most of our clients.
Close to Nightlife & Restaurants
After an intense workout or after one of our fitness events, you can walk right on down to R Shae or Missing Falls Brewery. Looking for coffee? Muggswigz on Main st. or Porch Light Coffee co. on Grant never fail to delight.
If you’re looking for a foodie’s paradise, you can’t go wrong with Crave or DBO in the Northside Marketplace. These are just a few pre or post workout spots you can visit close to our location.
Great Neighbors in Historical Canal Place
The 6th floor of BF Goodrich’s former headquarters has a lot more to explore than just our semi private gym space. Come check out the one of a kind art work displayed in front of Sculptural Concepts, watch the Akron Roller Derby practice before a bout, or hear state of the art sound production at Moser media.
Being a Part of a Downtown Renaissance
Downtown Akron has been overdue for a come back, and we’re excited to be a part of the movement to improve an already great downtown area. Bringing business to the city we love and supporting other local businesses is a passion of ours.
Offering our fitness services in Downtown Akron was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made, and we can’t wait to serve our city better. Sign up to get a free consultation and get fit while supporting the city of Akron!
