Interactive Strength Inc. (NASDAQ:TRNR), a manufacturer of innovative specialty fitness equipment under the CLMBR and FORME brands, has announced an exclusive distribution agreement and a six-figure initial order for its CLMBR product in the rapidly expanding Gulf region. This was achieved in partnership with MEFITPRO, a leading distributor of high-quality fitness brands in the region.
MEFITPRO's Role and Vision
Greg Boucher, Chief Executive Officer of MEFITPRO, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership. According to Boucher, MEFITPRO prides itself on distributing best-in-class brands across the Gulf countries. The company saw the potential for CLMBR during its experience at the International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association (IHRSA) event earlier this year. Following a group fitness class at Crunch Fitness West Hollywood, the decision to distribute CLMBR in the GCC countries became clear. Boucher noted that CLMBR’s versatility makes it a valuable addition to MEFITPRO’s brand portfolio, particularly as clubs are increasingly incorporating group fitness offerings and low-impact training alternatives like CLMBR into their gym floors.
Trent Ward, Co-Founder and CEO of Interactive Strength Inc., emphasized the growth opportunities for CLMBR in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. The region's long-term GDP growth outlook and the rising popularity of fitness make it a promising market. The GCC countries are characterized by a young, affluent population and are among the fastest-developing markets globally. MEFITPRO, having successfully represented other notable brands such as TRX, Woodway, Fitbench, and Wattbike, is an ideal partner for CLMBR’s expansion in the region.
Ward further elaborated that the company is aiming to engage with at least ten international distributors or key accounts within the year. He highlighted the substantial international sales potential, comparable to that in the US. Anticipating certification to sell in Europe by the third quarter, CLMBR plans to meet the demand indicated at industry events like IHRSA and FIBO. Key fitness markets, including the UK, Germany, France, and Spain, are expected to show interest in CLMBR following certification.
CLMBR's Integration into Gym Chains
Gym chains are increasingly integrating CLMBRs into their cardio floors, often replacing traditional elliptical machines. Climbing, as facilitated by the CLMBR, offers an efficient and effective full-body strength and cardio workout. This workout modality promotes greater posterior chain activation compared to other fitness equipment, making it a popular choice among fitness enthusiasts. Some gym chains are piloting group fitness solutions featuring CLMBRs. These setups involve grouping 10 or 15 CLMBRs in rooms previously used for spin classes. Initial feedback from these pilot programs has been overwhelmingly positive, mirroring the experiences of customers at Studio CLMBR in Denver. Participants have consistently praised the classes for being both enjoyable and providing an intense workout.
MEFITPRO has established itself as a fitness industry expert in the Middle East since its inception in 2003. The company represents several best-in-class brands, including Assault, CLMBR, Concept2, Eleiko, Fitbench, Hatton, TRX, Woodway, and WattBike, across GCC countries such as the United Arab Emirates, Kingdom Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Egypt, Bahrain, Jordan, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Pakistan, Armenia, and Sri Lanka. As a master distributor, MEFITPRO also offers gym fit-out designs, installations, and internationally accredited education courses.
The exclusive distribution agreement between Interactive Strength Inc. and MEFITPRO marks a step forward for CLMBR in the fast-growing Gulf region. With MEFITPRO’s extensive reach and expertise in distributing high-quality fitness brands, CLMBR is well-positioned to capitalize on the increasing demand for innovative fitness solutions in the GCC countries.
