The Albany Gazette - TRNR Publishes Q&A With Ergatta Co-Founder and CEO Tom Aulet on the Business Behind Its Newest Brand

In the Q&A, Aulet explains what Ergatta is and who it is for, how its two lines of business fit together, and why game-based workouts build lasting fitness habits for a customer that class-based models have not reached. He also discusses how Ergatta operates within the TRNR portfolio and contributes to the group's path to profitability.

"We thought shareholders would have interest to hear directly from Tom about how Ergatta operates and how we think about some of our acquisitions," said Trent Ward, CEO of Interactive Strength Inc. "It is a profitable, cash-generative business with a differentiated product, and this conversation puts that in his own words."

Ergatta joined TRNR on March 11, 2026. The full Q&A is available at interactivestrength.com/updates.
