WHY
We are passionate about one simple goal: Move Fitness Forward.

The Impact Fitness Foundation is a cost-effective, 501 c3 nonprofit resource that provides tools to assist in organizational changes that make an ongoing IMPACT.

Our Team of certified and highly educated Fitness and Nutrition Coaches lead clinics to help build, develop and grow a culture that can continue functioning for years after each project is completed.
LEAD
Here at IFF we want to continue to be a resource for those leading the way in these spaces after each project is complete. We accomplish this by providing a continuing education community for these leaders to be a part of and grow.
