ANKIT AHUJA- MEMBER OF THE MONTH FOR JANUARY 2025 AT FIT2LIVE!
January 2025
This month’s spotlight is on the hard working, soft spoken and very focused Ankit Ahuja!
Ankit started his Fit2Live journey in September of 2021.
When Ankit started with us he was experiencing some pretty severe GI issues that were not being improved with medication. He had been in pain daily for months with no end in sight.
Within 1 month of adding regular exercise at Fit2Live to his routine his GI issues completely disappeared!
In his 3 years at Fit2Live he has achieved some pretty amazing things.
He has put on 5lbs of muscle and decreased his bodyfat by 4% and can now do more physically with his body than ever before, EVEN STRICT RING MUSCLE-UPS!
Ankit has participated in 3 Fall Brawl competitions and regularly has a blast using using his fitness and regularly has his name on the committed club board for attending at least 20 classes in a month.
Last but not least, he is a proud member of the 500 class club!
It’s safe to say Ankit has invested in his health and fitness and it shows.
For these reasons and many more, Ankit has been chosen as our member of the month for January of 2025!

Tell us a little about yourself, where you’re from, what brought you to the states, what you do outside of Fit2Live, family, hobbies, etc.
I was born and raised in India and moved to the United States for my job. I am an IT professional. Currently, I live in Ypsilanti township with my wife, who works at the University of Michigan. Outside of CrossFit, I enjoy outdoor activities and love watching movies, but only in theaters.
When and why did you get started at Fit2Live and what keeps you coming back?
It was September 2021 when I recovered from COVID and decided to prioritize my fitness journey. I discovered Fit2Live through Google, and there’s been no looking back since. The knowledgeable and caring coaches, their well-structured WODs, and the welcoming, family-like atmosphere instantly drew me in. The community vibe makes every session feel like you’re working out with friends. Most importantly, the daily progress and noticeable improvements in my capabilities keep me coming back to the gym.
What is your favorite memory so far at Fit2Live?
I’d say my favorite memory is the moment I transitioned from a training bar to an Olympic bar. In my mind, I felt like I had become an Olympic gold medalist that day—such an unforgettable feeling! Everything after that has just been a bonus.
What is your proudest achievement at Fit2Live to date?
One of the many that I am proud is to be able to perform handstand.
What is a fun fact or hobby that you have that someone might not know about you?
I have a funny habit of starting a movie on TV but never finishing it—or if it’s a really good one, it might take me over two weeks to complete!

My parents place in Delhi, India.
