IFCA has been very helpful!

IFCA has been very helpful to me as I start my online fitness business. The support has been there every step of the way, and all of the video modules have been very clear and precise. Working with my success coach has helped keep me focused on the plan, and given me a better idea of what I need to do specifically to help with my business. There are office hours every day that are helpful to ask specific questions, as well as step by step modules that explain more of the technical side of the business. Overall, I am very happy with my IFCA experience in my first month.

It’s the business confidence boost for me…

Before discovering IFCA my coaching business was sinking at a rapid rate. There was no backend support, client fulfillment was near nonexistent and my organization that I thought was great was far from it.

I’m now moving into week 6 of the 3 month program and have been able to identify who exactly my health program is designed for; because of this I’ve been able to tailor my program to meet the needs of my client. Having my business tailored to a specific demographic allowed me to optimize pricing for the packages I offer clients. Now here’s the best part, it’s having the backend support of my business to deliver an amazing experience for current and future clients.

This part isn’t talked about much, because of what IFCA has been able to do for my business my self-confidence in what I offer has more than doubled. I know the ins and outs of my business and what it can do for my clients and I have the team at IFCA behind me to support this. The boost in self-confidence is what has helped me most when it comes to sales calls.

Massive thank you to Nick Bland, my performance coach, for keeping me on track and focused on my business growth journey! I couldn’t have done it without you!

IFCA is the place you NEED!

IFCA is the place you NEED!! Before joining IFCA I was lost and burnt out. I was new to online coaching and thought I could do it on my own. Nope! They not only provide you the best tools and resources, but they support and guide you through your entire journey! I’ve gotten more clients since joining. And actually have a business system in place (instead of just “winging” it).
There aren’t enough words I can express how grateful I am. To My success coach Leslie and all the other coaches within IFCA, thank you! The time, effort and care you put in to help me become successful, I am forever thankful 💕

Amazing company and team!

Amazing company and team!
My business would not exist if it wasn't for the fact that I signed up with them! They have very knowledgeable coaches, who you can ALWAYS contact and talk to if you have any questions. They have a training for absolutely anything and everything. Kevin, the Sales Coach, is top tier. You have the ability to talk to the Owners of the Company, Jordan and Erin, so they can give you advice on your business which is amazing coming from a family that has built 2 very successful businesses. A lot of personal development within the course/coaching calls, which as a business owner, I appreciate. Overall, one of the best companies out there to build your Online Fitness Business.

Strong Foundation because of IFCA

I knew after trying to start an online coaching business on my own and failing that if I ever tried again, I would be all in and get the support I needed. That’s why I didn’t hesitate to join accelerate and now continued mentorship through Legacy. After researching multiple companies, I knew this one was a good one because of all the positive client review videos I was able to watch before joining.

I feel extremely supported in every aspect of my business and know that I will achieve my goal to resign from my day job within a year because of the strong foundation I have built. My initial investment was made back within my first 6 weeks!

Nick is my coach and he is responsive, supportive and knowledgeable. I receive the guidance I need to continue to grow and build my business. The best part is, I’m learning from someone who has been there and done it. Not only Nick but the other coaches who facilitate training calls to teach us the best way to handle sales, business strategies and pretty much anything we need help with. I would highly recommend IFCA to anyone looking to grow their health coaching business.

Friendly and helpful coaches and staff

The onboarding process was easy to get through. The staff and coaches are very friendly and helpful. I was skittle confused at first for there are a ton of modules to go through but the coach assigned to us was really helpful and broke everything down for us to follow. He is also great at getting back to us whenever we have an issue come up. We still have a lot to learn but we are enjoying the process. Thank you

I was hesitant to join

I was hesitant to join because I was afraid it wouldn’t work for me. I have more than doubled my investment in 10 weeks, and show up online so much more confident now! It was like I hit the switch and everything changed. The resources and coaching have been game changers!

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!
