Who are We?

What Makes Us Different?
We live by a set of core values as individuals and as a company. We believe ITF is a program for anyone of any athletic background who wants to work hard to make a change in his or her life--and we follow our own advice. Every location in the ITF brand follows central programming for our group classes and athletes see it on our app. Our semi-private personal training is an individual design for each individual athlete’s goals, limitations and capacity.
Coaches have defined systems to execute the ITF brand with the freedom to modify and scale the program to meet individual athlete’s needs.
The ITF brand has nearly 30 locations open today and has been covered by the national fitness and business media.
We multiply and develop our team members and expect results with integrity. We evaluate performance and career advancement by how team members live our core values just as much as by the results they achieve.
