LOGAN, UTAH – iFIT Inc., a global leader in personalized fitness technology, has announced the formation of the iFIT Science Council, a groundbreaking initiative aimed at applying the latest scientific research to its product development, digital content, and member experience.

Council to Lead Evidence-Based Fitness Innovation
The iFIT Science Council will help guide the company’s approach to innovation by using real scientific data and health insights. The council will advise on how to incorporate cutting-edge findings in fields such as physiology, metabolism, and brain health into iFIT’s platform. The goal is to make personalized fitness routines more effective, data-driven, and accessible.
“Health journeys are unique for everyone. But we all want the same thing—to live healthier lives,” said Kevin Duffy, CEO of iFIT. “Science gives us the tools to guide these journeys. Our Science Council allows us to turn research into practical fitness routines that anyone can follow.”
Focus on Biomarkers and Smart Personalization
One of the council’s key roles is to help iFIT bridge the gap between advanced health science and everyday workouts. Advisors will support the company in using biometric data—such as heart rate variability and recovery signals—to improve how workouts are customized.
By blending wearable tech data with expert insights, iFIT aims to create workouts that adapt in real time to a user’s physical and mental condition. This data-driven approach is set to make training more personal and effective for millions of users.
Dr. Darshan Shah, iFIT’s Chief Medical Advisor, explained: “Generic workouts don’t work for everyone. Using biomarker data and real science, we can create routines that are tailored to the individual. Our goal is to help people get better results with personalized, evidence-based programs.”
The launch of the Science Council highlights iFIT’s long-term commitment to innovation and user success. The company continues to invest in solutions that make wellness more personalized, measurable, and impactful.
