iFIT pumped up New York City with an ultimate viewing party in New York City this season.

From executive producer Nick Rigg , showrunner Fred Pichel, iFIT’s Michael Hamblin, and Eli Holzman and Aaron Saidman on behalf of Sony Pictures Television – Nonfiction, comes ‘Trainer Games'”-  a high-intensity, six-episode reality competition hosted by Emmy-Award winning host and fitness personality, Amanda Kloots.

On a cold winter day at Moxy Chelsea, things heated up in Manhattan when invited guests and stars of the show came together to celebrate the hit show. Family and friends gathered for a night filled with thrills, laughs and exercise entertainment at its very finest.

To see the energy in the room was a dazzling emotional affair. You were simply proud of the accomplishments of the participants and all that iFIT promoted for a world of workout wonder.

Watch Party Host Nick Davis was on hand. The Broadway performer and fitness instructor has built an inclusive coaching style that emphasizes what the body can do rather than how it looks. Also on site was Chari Hawkins, who is an Olympic heptathlete whose career has been built on dedication, precision, and a love for sport.

The show chronicles 10 competitors, including familiar faces like Netflix’s “Too Hot” to Handle star Kori Sampson, U.S. Track & Field Olympian Chari Hawkins, fitness influencer BullyJuice and more as they fight and claw their way through treacherous competitions.

 Filmed on location on the adventurous island of Mauritius, each episode pushes contestants through extreme physical challenges testing strength, agility, stamina, and determination. Those who fail to complete—or finish last—are eliminated, until one competitor remains and is crowned the next fitness superstar, receiving a $250,000 contract and a coveted spot on iFIT’s world class trainer team.

 Mentorship throughout the competition comes from an elite roster of existing iFIT trainers, including Hannah Eden, John Peel, and Ashley Paulson.

iFIT, the global leader in immersive, trainer-led fitness content behind NordicTrack, ProForm, and Freemotion, brings you Trainer Games to showcase the brand’s expertise in performance and innovation in a bold new way.

In the show, featured integrations include: Samsung’s Galaxy Watch8, which was used by competitors and trainers to track heart rate, workouts, recovery, and overall performance during training and challenges and amazing iFIT equipment, which was used for endurance prep, conditioning, and recovery workouts by competitors when not in contests.  Episodes include the Ultra 1 Treadmill,  the NordicTrack X24 Bike and the NordicTrack RW900 Rower.
