I had a 40k month while working full time

I went from making $500-1000 a month to making 40k in March of 2024 (a year in) If you're a fitness coach and you want to EXPEDITE your growth as an Entrepreneur joining IFCA should be a NON-NEGOTIABLE for you! What I wasted 2 years trying to do myself in terms of setting up systems IFCA helped me do in less than 3 months! Then they helped me grow a team and navigate the day to day challenges of being an entrepreneur. The one thing I didn't expect from IFCA was that I would meet lifelong best friends when I joined giving me an amazing community of other business owners who just GET IT. Attending their in person events has been one of the greatest networking opportunities since I joined and it gives me something to work towards knowing I get to spend time with my best business friends 2-3x a year. If you're hesitating - I don't know what you're waiting for, an investment in yourself will NEVER go to waste so long as you're willing to show up (just like in your fitness journey)

Consider this before buying...

If you're in Australia, be aware that the guarantee is conditional on you attending 2-3x Zoom calls a week, which were between 1-3am for me.

Also be aware you’ll be selling high ticket (higher than I expected, I had one prospect start crying when I told her the price). Ask yourself if your market has deep pockets before you start.

Mine did not, so I made precisely $0.

Part of the program is an "accountability partner".

Mine was in the complete opposite time zone to me and I requested someone in a more workable time zone. Support said they would pair me with someone new, but they never did.

The course content is decent, but if you're expecting a coaching masterclass, this isn't it. This is primarily a sales course (decent but there are better ones that cost a lot less).

The best part of IFCA was my coach Ethan, honestly I would have just preferred to work directly with him. Given the group Zoom calls were at an ungodly hour and I wasn't given an accountability partner I could speak with, the only support I had through the program came from Ethan.

I was super pumped to join IFCA, immediately paid in full and was quickly disappointed once the curtain was pulled back.

Tips for improvement for IFCA:

- If you can sell in a timezone, you should be able to service that timezone at a reasonable hour.

- Your sales process should have screened me out with a question like: "Can your market afford $500+ a month for coaching?" The answer would have been "No", I would have saved $10k and you would have avoided a disappointed customer.

Second review for them

Second review for them.
They promise you can use all their workouts in trainerize forever. You can’t! They disappear.
They make this thing sound like you can go at own pace. You can’t!!! After 12 weeks you are charged $150/month. After paying $10k
You create yourself a job!!!!
I run a gym. My guy tried to get me to have my members leave gym and sign up for online.
All you do is dm allllll day and that’s it!!
If this is what you want. Get after it.

I found their whole sales pitch on prestige labs kajabi. Only thing is, prestige is 1000x better and user friendly. And it’s free!!!!

You get a mix of Chris coopers book. Hermozis books and tanner chidester info. Packaged up unorganized in kajabi. Read all their books and you get ifca

Overall. I hate them
They do have some great masterclasses and some good podcast.
But overall you’ll do way better somehwere else

I did the IFCA program for 3 months and learned so much on marketing and building the systems I need to start an online fitness business. I worked with Ethan during the 3 months and he was very diligent at keeping me accountable. He put the most effort in our coaching calls to give me the best advice moving forward. Really appreciate his hard work and effort in helping me grow my business!

Challenges you to grow

I was initially hesitant about what benefits the mentorship would actually bring. However, my coach, Nick, has been incredibly clear and helpful at every step of the way. The mentorship provides all the necessary tools to succeed and establish your online business. It is inevitable that you will face challenges and limiting beliefs, but pushing past them will elevate both your business and yourself as a coach and business owner. I now feel confident in myself and grateful for taking the leap to join the mentorship. I look forward to continued success and growth with this program.

Before joining IFCA

Before joining IFCA, I wanted to get back into online coaching but felt like with my full time job, I didn't have the time to dedicate to figuring out the systems to best get my business up and running again and how to find the clients I wanted to help.

Now, I have a great foundation of clients under my belt that have signed up and are paying WAY more than I ever would have asked for before. I have systems set up right from the first call, signing the client up, the welcome emails, continuing to coach them and then keeping them on as clients. It has saved me so much time! I would have had to come up with all of these systems from scratch and researching the best ones, where this was already done for me and all I had to basically do was plug in my business name and it was all set!

My biggest transformation has been to just start! The knowledge I have from school, the certifications I have, and the trial and error I have been through personally- is what makes me valuable to the clientele I want to help. My business and how much I make is essentially up to me-- and even though I have a doctorate degree doesn't mean I have to stay stuck working for someone else the rest of my life!

I am so happy I signed up for this program because it made me take messy action, and forced me to keep moving forward, much faster than I would have on my own. EVERYTHING is at your fingertips at all times. So especially if you have another job, it makes building your business so much easier.

Fundamental kickstart to my business!

I was definitely skeptical at first. But I know how important it is to invest in yourself and I'm glad I did with IFCA.

I Just started my business over a month ago and being able to start the foundation of my business on the right foot was so important to me and so far my time in IFCA, has made my processes extremely streamlined and professional.

So far my mentorship has added so much value to my business, I've learned a ton and I truly feel I've saved myself months if not years on developing my business. And that was the most important thing for me with this program!

Stop Searching for Another Mentorship and Join IFCA!

Joining IFCA was the best decision I have ever made for myself and my business. From learning better processes and systems to building friends in the amazing community it has sky rocketed my business. My Coach, Nick, is very knowledgeable, inspiring and compassionate. I couldn’t recommend a better program!

I have been with IFCA for about 2 months now. During this time I have learned so many valuable lessons that have truly helped me turn my personal training into an actual business.

Coach Nick has been helpful, responsive, and has helped me understand the process. I can’t wait to see how much more my business grows in the next few months. I recommended IFCA to anyone looking to launch a real business.

Working with a mentor

Working with my mentor, Ethan, at IFCA has been an incredible journey of growth and discovery. In just 8 weeks, I have seen a significant impact on my coaching business. My mentor has been instrumental in keeping me focused and pushing me outside of my comfort zone. Thanks to his guidance, I have successfully closed a high-ticket client and improved my understanding of the importance of rapport calls.

One of the most valuable aspects of working with my mentor is his ability to create a structured learning plan tailored to my needs. He holds me accountable and provides me with a clear to-do list that has helped me stay organized and on track. The support and motivation he offers have been truly transformative for my business.

I am grateful for the commitment and dedication my mentor has shown in helping me achieve my goals. I highly recommend IFCA and their coaching program to anyone looking to elevate their coaching skills and grow their business.

My New Business Experience So Far With IFCA & Coach Ethan

IFCA has been a great program for me so far! The system in place has made it very easy to know what I need to do and how to do those things if I want to move my business forward.

As a new business owner I have learned a lot and gotten off to a solid start from what I had coming into the program. None of it would be possible if I didn’t have such a good coach. Coach Ethan is very knowledgeable and helpful in how I can get the best results for my business moving forward. I have grown to appreciate him more every call we have together and I look forward to where I am able to take my business moving forward with his guidance and the IFCA system and community behind me.

IFCA IS AWESOME

Not only is IFCA an awesome program to be part of but they really work hard to ensure you’re paired with the best success coach to help with your business.

Huge shoutout to coach Ethan! Super responsive, and really dives deep with any concerns you may have but he’s great at keeping you on track with your mindset to succeed!

Everything you need to succeed at the game!

The course covers an extremely broad array of topics with a good amount of detail.
You get everything from checklists, templates, A LOT of examples and so on - this is where other "Business Coaches" lack.
The overall production quality is ok. Nothing spectacular but it is sufficient.

The weekly Live calls (I think there are like 7 every week with different topics) can help very much if you participate actively.

The weekly check-ins are pretty short and to the point. So are the feedbacks from the coach. Perhaps this could be a bit more in depth. But it may as well be my responsibility to request more input here.

I already had a Business Coach before IFCA and had a pretty bad experience. So I was really hesitant to invest again. But overall I am really happy with my decision.
The more you give in a coaching, the more you get.

PS:
I got a guarantee which says that they will coach me for free until I make my money back if I do my tasks.
And that's how it's going. I am VERY positively surprised that they hold their word.
This pushes my review to a 5-star review.

Of course there are some smaller things that could be improved but overall this is well worth the money.

Best regards!

IFCA is the best

IFCA is the best! When I started I was all over the place and needed more structure in my business. I felt like I was spinning my wheels and even questioned if this was the right field for me. However, after joining IFCA, I feel more confident in my business than ever and I'm only 3 weeks in. The support and systems you receive from IFCA is unmatched. I highly recommend if you're looking to scale your business and take the guesswork out!

Game-changer for my mindset...

IFCA is literally the reason I have a business right now. When I started, I wasn't charging enough, my systems sucked, my client fulfillment sucked, my mindset especially sucked... everything sucked 😂 The IFCA network & community alone has been game changer for my business and mindset - I actually feel capable of building the business of my dreams with the guidance of not only my one on one coach, but the entirety of the IFCA team! Thanks for everything!

I am thrilled to share my experience with Impact Fitness Coach Academy, a game-changer in the realm of fitness and nutrition coaching businesses. After a series of disappointments with previous business coaches, I was hesitant but hopeful when I engaged with IFCA. To my delight, they not only surpassed my expectations but propelled my business to unprecedented heights. Their strategic guidance and unwavering support have been instrumental in not only achieving but exceeding my professional goals. What sets them apart is their profound understanding of the industry coupled with their tailored approach to business growth. Thanks to their expertise, my husband and I have united forces, to build a team, and are living the life we've always envisioned. With IFCA, the possibilities truly are limitless, and our journey of growth continues unabated. Also, a special thanks to our Coach Kevin for guiding us on this exciting journey!

Confidence to push past…

I’ve only been in the program for a few weeks and already I feel as though I got my money’s worth.
The amount of material, knowledge & support gives you the confidence to help you push past limiting beliefs & mental barriers.
