Performance-linked transaction valuation ensures attractive acquisition multiple, in-line with TRNR’s disciplined acquisition strategy 
Deal expected to close in Q4 2026; TRNR expected to generate more than $50 million in 2026 pro forma revenue with adjusted EBITDA profitability in Q4 after transaction closing
AUSTIN, TX / ACCESS Newswire / July 7, 2026 / Interactive Strength Inc. (Nasdaq:TRNR) (“TRNR” or the “Company”), owner of the Wattbike, CLMBR, FORME, and Ergatta connected fitness brands, today announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire STEPR, Inc. (“STEPR”), a category leader in connected stair climbing for home and commercial training. 
STEPR is a hardware-first fitness company that has built the leading position in connected stair climbing, profitably and bootstrapped with only the founders’ capital. It sells both direct to consumers and through major national retail partners, including Dick’s Sporting Goods, Rogue Fitness, Johnson Fitness and Scheels, and its machines are used by everyday consumers, elite athletes and commercial facilities. STEPR is growing quickly and is expected to generate more than $15 million in revenue in 2026, with immediate earnings accretion to TRNR after closing.
The acquisition advances TRNR’s strategy of building a global, multi-brand fitness equipment platform through opportunistic acquisitions and disciplined operations. TRNR uses its Nasdaq listing to acquire profitable, cash-flow-generative premium fitness equipment brands and to operate them together on a shared platform of content, technology, distribution and commercial relationships. STEPR is the latest brand to join a portfolio that already includes Ergatta, Wattbike, CLMBR, and FORME, each a leader in its category.
With the addition of STEPR, TRNR is raising its 2026 pro forma revenue guidance to more than $50 million and expects the group to achieve Adjusted EBITDA profitability in Q4 2026 as a result of closing the transaction. 
“We are building a dynamic fitness equipment holding company by acquiring growth-oriented, category-leading brands and aiming to scale them efficiently and profitably, across channels, customer segments and markets,” said TRNR CEO, Trent Ward. “STEPR is the leader in one of the fastest-growing segments in fitness, it is profitable, and it brings retail distribution expertise across the US that should benefit our entire portfolio - especially with respect to Wattbike. Every acquisition is structured to directly connect the eventual transaction value to future business performance so that TRNR is mitigating risk while also being able to grow quickly. STEPR moves us decisively toward our vision of becoming a global platform of profitable fitness equipment brands.”
“We built STEPR into the leader in stair climbing by staying disciplined, profitable and close to our community,” said Dan Alenaddaf, Co-Founder of STEPR. “TRNR is building something bigger than any 

  

 
  

 single brand, a platform where category leaders scale faster together, and we share that vision. Joining TRNR gives STEPR access to financing, additional global markets and brands that we could not build alone, and it is the right next step to put stair climbing at the center of everyday fitness.”
TRNR expects the combination to lead to revenue and cost synergies across the portfolio. As part of TRNR, STEPR gains platform, brand and financial scale, while STEPR’s national US retail relationships and direct-to-consumer engine open new channels for the Company’s other brands. 
Transaction Structure
TRNR will acquire 100% of STEPR through a combination of cash, debt and contingent stock consideration, including working capital to support growth. TRNR expects to close the transaction in Q4 2026, subject to customary closing conditions, including completing an audit of financial statements. The consideration is structured as follows:
The base transaction value is $6.7 million, comprising $2.2 million cash and debt re-financing at close, $1.5 million in debt for working capital and $3.0 million in TRNR equity locked up until September 30, 2027.
Up to $3.0 million in additional TRNR equity could be earned by STEPR achieving $4.0 million in EBITDA in the period from July 2026 to June 2027. This equity would be locked up until September 30, 2027.
Up to $10.5 million in an additional TRNR equity could be earned based on achieving $7.0 million in EBITDA in the period from July 2027 to June 2028. A final $2.5 million could be earned through various quantitative synergies and this tranche of equity would be locked up until September 30, 2028 as well.
It is expected that the EV/EBITDA multiple will be less than 4.0x on 2027 EBITDA, given most of the valuation is tied to the EBITDA achieved in the next two years. 
Consistent with TRNR’s acquisition strategy, a substantial portion of the consideration is contingent on STEPR’s future performance, and the structure is designed to minimize near-term dilution and protect downside.
The initial cash consideration at closing will be funded through TRNR’s existing financing facilities.
STEPR’s founders have agreed to employment arrangements and are expected to continue leading the business post-acquisition.
TRNR expects to provide additional details regarding the transaction following the closing.
