Impact Fitness Coaching Academy Reviews 

Working with Coach Ethan through IFCA was an incredible experience! Honestly, I don’t think he could have done a better job. He was extremely responsive, always quick to address my questions, challenges, and the many moving pieces within my business.

During a significant transition in my personal life, he seamlessly adapted my focus, priorities, and action steps to fit my new circumstances. He didn’t just stick to a rigid plan, he continually adjusted my path to make sure I was working on what truly mattered in each season. He provided valuable ideas, strategic direction, and practical solutions that made a real impact on my business.

What stood out most was how well he coached me specifically. He knew when to push and fire me up, when to rein me back in, when to motivate, and when to give grace. That balance is rare. He wasn’t just knowledgeable, he was intentional, intuitive, and genuinely invested.

I’m incredibly grateful for his guidance and couldn’t recommend him more highly!

IFCA has helped me as a business owner & a coach ten fold!! The accelerator program is very fast and developed. I would advise any fitness coach looking to build a healthy, growing business to join IFCA. Of course it’s an investment but it’s totally worth your money. Ethan was my success coach and he is 10/10. He genuinely cares about your business & you as a person. He will meet you where you’re at and help you to where you want to go!

As someone who previously worked in private equity, I did a ton of due diligence on different fitness business mentorship programs before ultimately investing in IFCA. It's the real deal and the team truly cares about my long-term success. Before joining, I listened to one of Erin's Fit Biz podcast episodes multiple times about Leslie, a former student and now success coach, who risked it all to pursue her dream and despite starting from ground zero she was able to be incredibly successful with her new business in a short time span. This resonated deeply with me because my pivot into coaching had me starting at ground zero too. But only 2.5 months into the program, I've made nearly half my investment back already! And I have Leslie as my 1:1 success coach, which I was stoked about. I couldn't recommend IFCA enough to those brand new to business like me, it's worth it.

Working with Ethan has been an incredibly positive experience. His deep knowledge and real-world experience translate into clear, actionable guidance that delivers results. He is detail-oriented and intentional in his coaching, ensuring nothing is overlooked. At the same time, he brings a level of encouragement and accountability that makes you feel supported every step of the way.

Ethan has made my experience with IFCA amazing. He has been attentive and a huge part of my success. His guidance has helped my business to grow faster than I thought it could. He gives valuable tips and tricks and customized my business plan for me to grow in the best way possible. Would highly recommend his service.

💖I would give 4.5 stars to IFCA. I really appreciate their educational materials, knowledge, & experience in online fitness business world, which I shifted from in person gym. I truly learned that in person fitness coaching & online fitness coaching business have very different emphasis. So I'm super thankful their expertise. 🙏😇 The only reason I didn't give the last 0.5 is some parts of the learning portal/materials were confusing (eventually I figured out) and I needed a bit more hand-holding to be confident in what I'm doing/ following. I thought some people like myself might get lost in the whole bunch of info and get overwhelmed. I guess you have to be a go-getter 200% for sure to get benefit from the IFCA program.

ethan was my success coach and he honestly helped me scale my online business from $8K per month to my most recent highest month of almost $30K. he was amazing at answering all of my questions and providing the best insight on everything that i needed to make sure that i had the tools needed to succeed. HE'S THE MAN !

I cannot recommend IFCA enough. I was a burnt out healthcare worker looking for better ways to serve people with my knowledge of health/wellness. With IFCA, I started my coaching business from scratch, and have grown to have clients of my own in a few short months. Leslie was an amazing coach, providing me with guidance and encouragement throughout the process. At first I was terrified of failure, which has held me back from doing this for a while, but I am so glad I finally made the decision to become a health coach :) IFCA helped me see that I am capable of being a successful business owner, and I can’t wait to continue to grow and help more people!

working with robbie made it great, he was very helpful and inspiring

I worked with Ethan when I started with IFCA. Ethan was fantastic during my time going through the process. He was detailed orientated, thoughtful, excellent communicator, and a great guy overall. It made my time with IFCA very enjoyable to go through. I made big strides with my coaching business with Ethan's help and IFCA's framework compared to other coaching companies. I highly recommend IFCA and try to get Ethan as a coach!

I came to IFCA because I needed help streamlining my health coaching business I had built from the ground up, but more than that I needed help understanding how I could be a mom of 3, run a successful business, and still create my own schedule that promoted a good work/life balance. I can honestly say IFCA has done all the above. They have reached into my business and helped me understand sales and data, programs and systems that save time and make sense, and provided me with a coach (Leslie) who is also a working mom and understands the importance of work/life balance.

I was a mom just hoping to be success in my passion whenever I had the chance and lucky if I brought in $2k a month - now after only 4 months in IFCA- I am consistently making $10k months!!

IFCA Accelerator and my success coach Leslie helped me take what was once just an idea living in my head and turn it into an actual reality. I started from scratch with no experience coaching or any knowledge of business whatsoever. A few months in, I haven’t even officially launched my program yet, and over the last 2 weeks alone I’ve had over 30 people submit a coaching application wanting to work with me. That doesn’t even include the messages I received asking for more info.

I did this all while working full time as a travel ICU RN. The way everything is organized it’s so easy to follow at your own pace without getting overwhelmed or caught up in things that don’t matter yet. I had such limited time that I needed to be productive and work efficiently in the time I did have to put towards my business and IFCA is the only reason I was able to do that. There is a tremendous amount of value here with so many really knowledgeable people available to help along the way in addition to your coach.

Don’t get me wrong, you still have to do the work and put the effort in. No one in IFCA (or any mentorship) can do the work for you, that is your responsibility. However, if this is something you’re serious about and are willing to put the effort in, you can absolutely trust that you are in good hands with the IFCA team. You will be successful if you follow the plan and stick to it. It really is that simple.

I have had an amazing experience with IFCA launch kit! I started the program a few months ago this ago, after owning an in-person personal training business for the past 16 years! IFCA has given me the tools and accountability I needed to grow my business in a new way. Working with Crystal has been great and has made me so excited about what’s next!

I’ve been a health practitioner for 10+ years, and for the past few years I knew I wanted to make a bigger impact on my clients’ lives. I felt deeply that health coaching was the way to do that - but honestly, I had no idea how to make the transition or even where to begin.

Hearing coach Leslie’s practitioner-to-coach story was when it clicked for me. It showed me that this path was actually possible. Since then, I’ve been so fortunate to have Leslie as my success coach - from starting at zero to transforming the lives of my clients - in 6 months.

Along the way, I’ve also been supported by a whole team of capable IFCA coaches who helped me not only with the practical steps of building a business from the ground up, but also with the personal growth that comes with it.

Deeply grateful to Leslie and the entire IFCA team for the support, guidance and belief along the way.

Best Decision I ever made!
I have years of sales and fitness experience but I was struggling and wasting time trying to figure out the online space. From the moment I started with IFCA I felt supported! Crystal has been such an amazing mentor and is exactly what I needed in my life and my business. The systems, structure and support they offer are exactly what I needed. I have grown my business and for the first time I have the confidence that I can do this and make the money I need, while doing what I love. My only regret is not doing this sooner! I am so thankful for IFCA and the life changing impact it has made for me.

I had a really good experience working with IFCA this past year. My main goal was to transition my personal training business toward a more remote coaching model, and they delivered on what they promised.

The coaches were knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely helpful, especially when it came to setting up systems, refining my offer, and understanding how to run a remote business more efficiently. I appreciated that the support felt practical and actionable, not just theoretical.

I’m glad I did it and feel it helped me move my business in the right direction. Overall, a positive experience and a solid option for trainers looking to go remote.

Before joining IFCA, I really wanted to grow my business enough to be able to support my kids without a second job or income but I felt like I was going to fail and like I’d never have enough time.

I knew that if I just had 3-4 clients, I could finally reach my goals! The most surprising benefit I gained from IFCA was that I COULD in fact do it and Leslie helped guide me every step of the way. Even while going through a hardship in my life outside of business, Leslie supported me. I learned more in depth about systems, lead generation, and so much more.

When I started, I looked at myself and told myself this is too hard but now I look at myself as the CEO of my company and able! Leslie has made a massive positive impact in my life as a business owner and as a person. Very grateful for IFCA!

Honestly wasn’t worth it. We had to switch coaches in the middle of our program and then our first coach wasn’t even a good mentor. Paying that much I would expect an excellent mentor in becoming a business owner. Wasn’t that at all, poor investment unfortunately. Did help get a business up and running though.

Signing up for Impact Fitness Coaching Academy has hands down been the best decision I’ve made for my business.

Before IFCA, I wasn’t confident in my online coaching. I was posting randomly, unsure how to grow, and felt stuck after doing this part time for five to six years. I knew how to train people really well, but I didn’t know how to build a business. I finally realized it was time to stop and actually go all in, and that’s when I made the investment.

IFCA makes everything easy to follow and understand. The information is laid out clearly, you move through it on your own time, and as a busy mom that flexibility mattered so much to me. I never felt behind or overwhelmed, just supported.

In less than a month, I went from offering low cost monthly options to landing four high ticket clients. I honestly couldn’t believe it. I had so much fear around charging more, but IFCA helped build my confidence, explained the why behind pricing, and gave me the exact tools and systems I needed.

Crystal has also been an absolute heaven send. She answers questions, runs Q and A sessions, makes time for one on one calls, and genuinely cares. I never once felt like I was bothering her or asking the wrong questions.

If you are a personal trainer or fitness coach who knows how to train people but feels lost when it comes to promoting your business, understanding pricing, or handling the business and accounting side of things, this program fills in the gaps. If you feel stuck and unsure what your next step should be, IFCA gives you clarity, confidence, and a real plan.

I am soooo grateful I said yes.

IFCA has been absolutely incredible for me and my business. I’m building an online fitness coaching program with a functional medicine approach, and they’ve given me every resource I need to succeed. The support is top-tier — the best content, the best guidance, and a truly personalized experience.

My coach, Robbie, has been fantastic. He’s always quick to give me very precise answer my questions, help me work through challenges, and guide me in the right direction. I also have some unique circumstances, and the team has really tailored the program to my specific needs and I am very appreciative of that.

If you’re an online coach wanting real business mentorship, IFCA is 100% worth it.
