Like an Energizer bunny—only in activewear, for the most part—Akin Akman just keeps going.
His day began long before most people hit their first snooze. When the New York-based fitness guru shared his morning’s accomplishments, it sounded more like the schedule of an entire fitness team than that of a single individual.
“My first class was the lower body boot camp at 6am, followed by an abs class at 7am. Then came the 8.30am cycling session,” he shared with an almost breathless cadence. It’s a whirlwind just trying to keep up with his account of the day.
And these intense activities? All before sitting down for a noon interview with BAZAAR Man. When most contemplate lunch, the 36-year-old fitness dynamo has already orchestrated and led four demanding fitness classes, each clocking in at roughly an hour.
However, if you think that’s where Akman’s energy plateaus, think again. Post-chat, his afternoon looks as rigorous as the morning. He outlines with a rhythmic precision that could make you sweat just hearing about it: “After this, there’s filming that I have to do for the app, various other meetings and then back-to-back teaching sessions in the evening.”
His schedule’s sheer stamina and dedication paint a vivid picture of a man deeply passionate about his craft and equally dedicated to his community—the Aarmy.
The Aarmy is more than just a creative spin on Akman’s name, it’s a legacy. “The term evolved from “Akin’s Army,’” Akman explains with a hint of nostalgia. “It’s about those who believed in my vision right from the start.”
