You can walk into any gym and find a personal trainer who will assign you a workout routine, stand by as you push yourself to the limit, and congratulate you when you get done. What you can't find anywhere is the level of dedication, personalization, and community that Accelerated Fitness brings to the table.

By creating an individual relationship with each and every member of our gym, we are able to curate a workout plan that contours specifically to your needs. We'll provide you with next level accountability to help you commit to a functional exercise routine that will genuinely get you results.

My husband and I have been training with Rich for many years now. We go once a week for full body work out, cross training, weights etc. Our exercises vary periodically and really help with our overall fitness. My husband is a runner, and with Rich coaching he has had less injuries and has increased his flexibility.
Our unique approach to Fitness Training gives you the perfect blend of individualized workouts and group accountability. At Accelerated Fitness, our small group training program offers the same customized approach as personal training, where you'll get tailored workouts and individualized coaching, but with the extra motivation and support that comes from training in a social environment.
Sometimes, the best way to achieve your fitness goals is to get dedicated, one-on-one personal training from a professional who is totally committed to helping you succeed. Personal training is a straight path to results. Through personalized nutrition strategies and custom workouts, our trainers will empower you with every tool you need to lose weight, upgrade your athletic performance, or improve your muscle tone.
At Accelerated Fitness, we're all about building better athletes - from middle school competitors, to high school and even collegiate athletes. Our Athletic Training program is the perfect way to take on athletic development and incredible mobility with the help of professional instruction and targeted training.
Stuck at home? Work odd hours? Does your job frequently take you out of town? Do you have a crazy schedule that makes it difficult for you to access our Fitness Classes or Small Group Training, but you still want to take advantage of the personalized training plans and nutritional guidance that Accelerated Fitness has to offer?

I was very hesitant to try working out again with a personal trainer but all my concerns went away when I discovered Accelerated Fitness and started a fitness program with Alex. Alex and Rich provide top-notch individualized fitness programs, plenty of encouragement, and a comfortable well-designed workout space. I am really happy with the progress I have made so far!

I have been working out at Accelerated Fitness with Rich for 8 years, maybe longer. The time has flown by and I have loved every minute of it. I am over 60, strong, healthy and physically and mentally fit. Rich has been there for me through cancer treatment, shoulder reconstruction surgery and the various aches and pains of a life actively lived. He has always tailored my workouts to my personal fitness goals and physical capacity. He challenges me while keeping me from injuring myself or wasting my time on useless pieces of gym equipment. All of his clients are considerate, caring and encouraging

Just turned 60 and feel great! Accelerated Fitness is a special studio. What stands out is Rich's detailed and professional approach to making sure workouts are aimed at my condition level and goals. His calm and pleasant approach combined with exceptional knowledge of the body helps avoid injuries while strengthening all areas. Rich has a great personality, is highly supportive and fun to be around. I've been a client for over 10 years! I highly recommend Accelerated Fitness

Rich Ruffing has helped me with my workout routines for over 10 years. He's an experienced fitness trainer; Rich is a great listener who has helped me select the most effective, efficient exercises to achieve my fitness goals. His coaching has taught me the importance of proper warmups, stretching, and technique to maximize my exercise efforts. Rich Ruffing is a good guy, a great motivator, and a real pro!

I have been attending personal training sessions with Rich for over 5 years, and that makes me a "newcomer" given his long-standing and highly satisfied clients.
Above all, Rich is a consummate professional and highly skilled at crafting personalized plans for each of us. He works with us on our goals, accommodates for our levels of physical ability and guides us through recovery when we have experienced injury or the normal wear and tear of aging . Rich is attentive and "present" when we are working out and always points out adjustments when our form or position needs to be

I have been working with Rich at Accelerated Fitness for just over a year. Before meeting Rich I had tried other gyms and nothing seemed to stick. I am the mother of three young children and I didn't have much time and was feeling intimidated at some of the gyms I went to. I was always unsure if I was doing the correct exercises for the goals I was looking to accomplish. Since I have started going to Accelerated Fitness I have lost weight, and gained a much healthier lifestyle. From questions about exercise to diet Rich has been there to help in any way he can. The gym is a great space

I have been going to Accelerated Fitness since it opened and I love it. Rich (the owner) is a phenomenal trainer. He helps me motivated by setting realistic, measurable goals. Rich is very knowledgeable and he watches to make sure you are doing the exercises correctly and that you understand what you are doing and why. I highly recommend Accelerated fitness and Rich Ruffing.

I have worked with a lot of trainers over the years and Rich is definitely the best one. The gym itself is awesome. He has everything you can imagine for equipment to keep workouts original. Rich does a great of coming up with unique exercises so you don't get bored with the same old routine. He goes beyond just the training and will offer nutritional tips as well. When you work out here it is obvious Rich cares about his clients and wants to see them improve their overall health. If you are looking for a private gym setting this is definitely the place to go.

I have been working with Rich Ruffing from Accelerated Fitness for almost two years. His skilled and thoughtful workouts helped me to recover from a neck injury. The past two years with Rich have converted me from a sporadic exerciser to someone who looks forward to their work out sessions, not only for their physical benefit but for their mood enhancing quality, too.
Rich's ability to adapt exercises to meet individual needs and abilities is one of his strengths. The depth of his knowledge is evident as he seamlessly and often on-the-spot, modifies a workout to address the issues you

I have been a client of the founder of Accelerated Fitness (AF), Rich Ruffing, for nearly three years. Rich has been training me at Accelerated Fitness since he opened it in Lexington this past spring.
The three most important things for an effective training environment are a (1) qualified and experienced staff, (2) the best equipment, and (3) a training style that focuses on your individual goals and that keeps you on track to progress toward reaching those goals. AF combines all three at the highest level of professionalism.
