Dreams Aren't Built On Convenience, How To Be Great With Akin Akman

Akin Akman joins us on the Very Best Self Podcast. A former pro tennis player, turned fitness instructor, and entrepreneur. He is the co-owner of Aarmy- a fitness studio that incorporates strength training as well as cycling classes with a cult like following. Akin grew up training at the world famous IMG academy with the infamous Nick Bollettieri. Nick was known for training the likes of Andre Agassi and Anna Kournikova. Akin was immersed in training like a champion and developing the mindset of a champion from the age of seven years old when he and his sister first joined the academy and began training with Nick. So much of what he learned playing tennis is applied to his style of coaching at Aarmy and it's the reason so many people come back day after day. His training becomes not just a place to workout but a place to meet other like-minded people and to connect to your limitless possibilities; a lifestyle. Akin is a former co-worker of Victoria's at SoulCycle where he worked for many years. In this episode we uncover how to tap into your greatness. Prepare to be inspired by Akin, his story, and his unique approach to life.
