LegitFit and TRYKA Announce Partnership to Strengthen Community-Led Growth in the Fitness Industry

LegitFit and Tryka have announced a new partnership that brings together two Irish-born companies with a shared ambition: to scale community-driven fitness experiences beyond Ireland and into the UK and wider international markets.

Built on a strong foundation in Ireland, both companies have grown by focusing on what matters most in fitness - creating inclusive, engaging community driven environments where the everyday gym members feel part of something bigger.

The partnership also reflects a shared ambition to bring Irish businesses together as they scale, supporting each other’s growth while taking a proven model to new markets.

From Local Communities to Global Growth

Ireland has been the testing ground for both companies - a market where strong communities and word-of-mouth growth have driven rapid adoption.

Now, with momentum building, the partnership will focus on expanding globally, with the goal of bringing the same community-led approach to a broader audience.

Ryan O’Neill, Co-founder & CEO of LegitFit, said:

“The fitness industry is evolving rapidly, and it’s been incredible to see another Irish company like Tryka making such a meaningful impact in such an important space. As both of our businesses scale internationally, this partnership is about supporting gyms and their members to not just participate, but to truly thrive through stronger, more connected communities.”

Bringing Programming and Community Together

Through the partnership, gyms and fitness studios will have the ability to deliver Tryka’s classes directly through the LegitFit platform.

This gives gyms a simple way to:

• Deliver structured, high-quality programming
• Track member progress and performance
• Build engagement through shared challenges and leaderboards

Crucially, access to this ecosystem will be tied to LegitFit-affiliated gyms, ensuring that the experience remains consistent and community-driven.

Brian Lee, Founder of Tryka, said:

“From the start, our goal has been to make fitness more accessible and more engaging for everyday people. Partnering with LegitFit to deliver our class schedules to gyms and their members through their app allows us to bring that experience into gyms in a way that’s scalable, but still feels personal. It’s about growing without losing what makes it special, the community.”

Unlocking Growth for Gyms and Members

A key focus of the partnership is creating programming and experiences that work for a wide range of gym members, not just high-performance athletes.

This aligns with both companies’ belief that the future of fitness lies in:

• Accessibility
• Community participation
• Long-term engagement

Beyond programming, the partnership provides gym owners with the tools to run and grow their businesses more effectively - combining operations, scheduling and member engagement in a single platform.

The result is a more connected ecosystem where:

• Gym owners can scale sustainably
• Members stay engaged for longer
• Communities grow organically

Building the Future of Fitness - Together

Beyond programming and operations, both companies see this partnership as a step towards a more connected fitness ecosystem - one where gyms, coaches, and members are aligned around shared goals.

The focus is not just on growth, but on sustainable, community-led growth that supports gyms of all sizes and types.

As the partnership rolls out across Ireland and the UK, both teams will continue to collaborate on content, events, and community initiatives designed to support gym owners and their members.

From Ireland to the UK and beyond, the goal is simple: To grow the fitness industry by strengthening the communities at its core.
