After spending 9 years working as a personal trainer in the fitness industry at gyms throughout the greater Boston area, Ryan Ankner had a clear vision for his gym, Ank Fit in Newtonville.

And then, in 2022, he built it.

Ank Fit is a personal fitness studio where everyone, regardless of age, sex, or where they are on their fitness journey, feels welcome and at home. It’s where better fitness begins with a one-to-one client-trainer relationship, and trainers are respected and given the support they need to flourish. The gym is fully furnished with top-of-the-line strength training equipment, and, because Ryan happens to be a self-professed neat freak, is spotless. Sounds perfect, huh? It’s no wonder that Ank Fit’s client list keeps growing and he’s always on the look-out for talented personal trainers.
