• The medical channel, and specifically physical therapy, is a new channel for FORME

• WOODWAY has been in the medical channel for decades and has dedicated sales representatives with long-term relationships

• Rehabilitation sessions can be reimbursed by insurance and there can be a compelling return on investment for installing a FORME Lift in a practice

AUSTIN, TX / ACCESSWIRE / October 8, 2024 / Interactive Strength Inc. (NASDAQ:TRNR) ("TRNR" or "the Company"), maker of innovative specialty fitness equipment under the CLMBR and FORME brands, today announced that the Company will be exhibiting FORME at the APTA Private Practice Annual Conference on October 9-12 in National Harbor, MD.

FORME is entering the medical channel for the first time and the market is large and growing. APTA Private Practice is a component of the American Physical Therapy Association, and the Conference is the premier annual gathering for physical therapists nationwide who own, operate, or work in a private practice setting.

Trent Ward, Co-Founder and CEO of TRNR, said: "Our decision to exhibit FORME this year at APTA Private Practice is a result of the strong interest we have received from physical therapists and the clear return on investment that they can project from adding a FORME Lift to their practice. Rehabilitation can be reimbursable by insurance and therefore physical therapists understand that being able to serve more than one patient at their practice at one time due to the digital programing on the FORME Lift can directly increase their revenue. Additionally, being able to demonstrate continued improvement for a patient through the data collected by FORME can also allow for incremental sessions that will be reimbursed, further driving incremental revenue for the therapist."

"We have received strong interest from commercial accounts such as multi-family developers and country clubs for the FORME Lift," continued Mr. Ward, "but the physical therapy channel is a new one for FORME and it is very exciting. We are fortunate that our distributor, WOODWAY, has been in the medical channel for a long time and has three sales representatives dedicated to the channel, which has really helped us accelerate penetration of the channel."

The FORME Lift provides an innovative strength training option that fits in a small footprint and so the use case for a physical therapy practice is clear given its elegant design, compact size and wide variety of functions. There are over 250,000 physical therapists in the US and the need for more therapists is expected to grow significantly.

The FORME Lift is a compact strength training device with digital programming
