Impact Fitness Coaching Academy Reviews 235

I feel like I was misled during my initial sales call. I was told that if I wasn’t making at least $15k/month, IFCA would have had to shut their doors down, which created a lot of pressure for me to join. Based on my experience, the reality of the program was very different.

After joining, my financial situation declined significantly. My client roster was cut in half, and I ended up in a position where I genuinely could not afford the payments anymore. Before signing, I was given the impression (including via a voice note) that I would be able to exit the contract if I was in a situation where I couldn’t pay. When that situation happened, I was unable to get the support or resolution I expected.

I made multiple attempts to get in contact with someone who could help, but I didn’t feel guided or supported through that process. Instead, the situation escalated in a way that added more stress during an already difficult time.

Overall, this experience had a serious negative impact on me financially and emotionally, and my mental health. I joined because I trusted what I was told, but based on my experience, it did not align with what was promised.

Working with Ethan as my 1:1 coach has been such a great experience. He’s incredibly personable and easy to talk to, but at the same time he leads with real expertise and data, which I really appreciate. He has a way of explaining things and framing challenges that pushes you to step outside your comfort zone and go further than you thought you could.

What I’ve appreciated most is the amount of support and resources he provides. It never feels like you’re left figuring things out on your own. The guidance, strategy, and tools he shares have played a huge role in helping me launch and grow my online business.

If you’re looking for mentorship & people who genuinely care, understand the process, and know how to help you level up, IFCA is full of incredible coaches.

I have had the absolute best experience with IFCA. At this point I honestly can't imagine running my business without them! I am years further along than I should be because of my Mentor Robbie! I would recommend anyone with an online coaching business work with IFCA, unless they hate making money!

I’ve been in the fitness industry for over 30 years. I built a successful in-person coaching business, but transitioning into online coaching is a completely different skill set.
Working with Robbie has helped me understand the structure and systems behind building an online coaching business, including client conversations, communication, and positioning my services.
That shift helped me start thinking about my business much more strategically and given me clarity on how to transition more of my work into the online space.
He’s also been extremely responsive whenever I’ve had questions, which has made the process much smoother.
I’m very grateful for his guidance and support.

Robbie is my biz coach and he's been great at giving me the best things to work on given my work constraints. He's great at listening and takes my feedback and concerns.

I’ve been watching them for a while and decided to join IFCA at my lowest financial point of my life, I bet everything on making my business work, and it is… I’ve reached so many new levels personally and professionally that I wouldn’t have been able to reach without the roadmap and direct help from the coaching hours and my 1:1 coach Ethan. The modules have SO MUCH value - I’m still absorbing it all!!

I have been in IFCA now three months working with my coach Robbie. Being coached by Robbie has helped me narrow down my niche of Pickleball, and to some the niche may look so narrow but Robbie was so supportive and encouraged me to get after it. Robbie has been great at responding to every question I have even after our calls when I flood his box with voxer questions:) Thank you Robbie for your coaching and pushing me when I need to be pushed!

My coach provided me with excellent knowledge and protocols to set me up for success as an online coach

I started with IFCA to help me launch a new online offer. With the help of my success coach, Robbie, I was able to get 9 new clients within my time in the accelerator program. More than that, I now have systems in place and the confidence to scale my business.

Working with IFCA has been the best decision I have ever made. PERIOD. The amount of learning and growth I have experienced, both personal and business-wise, since I started with IFCA has been beyond anything I could have expected. To anyone considering how to achieve the life of their dreams and doesn’t know where to start, let me just say, this is where. Little me would be so proud.

IFCA is an incredible program with great automations that set businesses up for success. They care deeply about the individuals they are serving and I had a great personal experience with my mentor, Ethan. I was able to hire an additional assistant coach in my time spent in IFCA and bring in better automations that helped my business run more smoothly.

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
