New two-year deal extends content-licensing to middle of 2028 and grows Ergatta's game-based fitness content across iFIT's global platform of NordicTrack and ProForm equipment
Ergatta, acquired by TRNR in March 2026, is expected to generate more than
TRNR's pipeline of potential M&A targets is increasing and two separate preliminary Letters of Intent were submitted in May 2026
AUSTIN, TX / ACCESS Newswire / June 3, 2026 / Interactive Strength Inc. (Nasdaq:TRNR) ("TRNR" or the "Company"), maker of innovative specialty fitness equipment under the Wattbike, CLMBR, FORME and Ergatta brands, today announced that Ergatta has signed a two-year extension, to the middle of 2028, and expansion of its content licensing partnership with iFIT Inc., a global leader in connected fitness, content, and equipment, and parent company of NordicTrack and ProForm.
The renewed agreement reflects the performance of game-based fitness as a differentiated content category for connected-fitness members. Since Ergatta's content launched on the iFIT platform in the spring of 2025, it has delivered measurable engagement across iFIT's treadmill, bike, and rower modalities.
The extension follows the iFIT & Ergatta Spring Cup, a multi-week virtual competition hosted on the iFIT platform and powered by Ergatta's Races experience. Open to iFIT Pro members across treadmill, bike, and rower divisions, the event produced strong participation and member engagement. The partners intend to build on the format with a Fall Cup and are exploring an in-person component for future events.
"The renewal and expansion of the iFIT partnership demonstrates the quality and strategic value of Ergatta's game-based content," said Trent Ward, CEO of Interactive Strength Inc. "Ergatta is generating stable, recurring cash flow for the group, and remains on track to generate more than
"Additionally, as we discussed in our first-quarter earnings release, our M&A pipeline activity is increasing and of higher quality than at any prior point." Mr. Ward continued, "We have submitted two separate preliminary Letters of Intent for expected accretive opportunities and look forward to sharing more with TRNR shareholders in the coming months if they advance towards definitive documentation."
"We are expanding our partnership with iFIT and bringing more of our game-based content to more members," said Tom Aulet, Co-Founder and CEO of Ergatta. "The renewal validates that games work across cardio modalities, including treadmills, and we look forward to introducing Endeavor to the iFIT community this fall."
The expanded scope introduces Endeavor, Ergatta's most recent game, to iFIT members for the first time. Endeavor is a single-player action game that builds decision-making into the workout: players move through immersive environments and complete challenges by running, cycling, or rowing at target intensities. It complements Races, the head-to-head multiplayer game that began the partnership, giving iFIT Pro members a two-game suite that spans competition and single-player play. Endeavor will be available to iFIT Pro members across treadmills, bikes, and rowers this fall.
The extended term and expanded scope increase the stability and predictability of Ergatta's high-margin, subscription-based revenue. Since TRNR completed its acquisition of Ergatta in March 2026, the brand has performed in line with management's expectations as a profitable, cash-generative asset within the TRNR portfolio.
