About Us

RPFitness is Akronís premier fitness club for men and women, 18 years and older. Located in the RiverParke building in the Valley, former site of Ballyís, RPFitness opened in 2005, with an immaculate, reconfigured, user-friendly floorplan, all new equipment, a new cardio theatre, aerobics studio, and banked indoor track.

Steve Botnick, owner of RPFitness and an Akron native, has owned the RiverParke building for over 25 years, and the building was home to fitness centers throughout that period. Steve researched every aspect of the fitness business and determined how it could best be operated, and he then opened RPFitness with a commitment to run a first class fitness center.

Spinning, Yoga and Pilates classes are offered, along with numerous other cardio and aerobics classes. Babysitting is also provided for a modest fee.

The facility is immaculate, and the entire staff committed to helping its members fulfill their fitness goals. ìOur members are our greatest advocates ñ they appreciate that our success is measured by theirsî enthuses Botnick.
