Bring ACKfit™ to Your Community

For more than 20 years, ACKfit™ grew from a small outdoor workout on Nantucket into a thriving fitness community, bringing together people of all ages and abilities with a simple formula: great coaching, minimal equipment, a beautiful outdoor setting, and a whole lot of fun. At its peak, a single one-hour ACKfit class generated more than $2,000 in revenue—all without the overhead of a traditional gym. The ACKfit™ System — Coming Soon I’m taking everything I learned from more than two decades of building and running ACKfit and turning it into a complete system for fitness professionals, entrepreneurs, hotels, resorts, corporations, and communities. Whether you want to start your own outdoor fitness business, become an ACKfit™ Certified Coach, or bring the ACKfit experience to your organization, there will be a path for you. 1. ACKfit™ Outdoor Fitness Business Course Build your own outdoor fitness business. Learn how to create, launch, and grow a successful outdoor fitness camp—from choosing a location and designing workouts to pricing, marketing, equipment, safety, client retention, and building a community that keeps people coming back. The online course will include the lessons, workouts, templates, checklists, calculators, and tools you need to go from idea to your first class. 2. ACKfit™ Certified Coach Take the next step and become ACKfit Certified. For fitness professionals who want more than the business course, the ACKfit Certified Coach program will provide additional training in the ACKfit philosophy, programming, coaching methods, safety standards, and participant experience. Complete the training and assessment to earn the ACKfit™ Certified Coach credential and demonstrate that you have been trained in the system developed over more than 20 years on Nantucket. 3. ACKfit™ for Hotels, Resorts & Organizations Bring the ACKfit experience to your guests, employees, members, or community. ACKfit will also be available as a turnkey outdoor fitness program for hotels, resorts, corporations, residential communities, wellness programs, and other organizations. From staff training and programming to workouts, operational guidelines, equipment recommendations, and the ACKfit experience itself, organizations will have a scalable way to bring professionally designed outdoor fitness to their location—without building a traditional fitness facility. More Than a Workout ACKfit was never just about exercise. It was about fitness, fun, community, and showing up. Now, after more than two decades on Nantucket, the goal is to help others build that same kind of experience in their own communities. ACKfit™ training, certification, and organizational programs are coming soon. Interested in starting a camp, becoming ACKfit Certified, or bringing ACKfit to your property or organization?
