Who may attend and how to attend

Our Board has fixed the close of business on April 8, 2026 as the record date for a determination of stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof (the “Record Date”). Each share of Common Stock represents one vote to be voted on each matter presented at the Annual Meeting. Record holders and beneficial owners may attend the Annual Meeting.

Beneficial Owners


	●	If you were a beneficial owner of record as of the Record Date (i.e., you held your Shares in an account at a brokerage firm, bank or other similar agent), you will need to obtain a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other agent. Once you have received a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other agent, it should be emailed to our transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, at PO Box 500, Newark, New Jersey 07101 and should be labeled “Legal Proxy” in the subject line. Please include proof from your broker, bank or other agent of your legal proxy (e.g., a forwarded email from your broker, bank or other agent with your legal proxy attached, or an image of your valid proxy attached to your email). Requests for registration must be received by Equiniti Trust Company, LLC no later than 5 p.m. Eastern Time on May 22, 2026. You will then receive a confirmation of your registration, with a control number, by email from Equiniti Trust Company, LLC. When you arrive at the meeting, present your unique 12-digit control number.

Who Can Vote?

Stockholders who owned Common Stock at the close of business on Record Date, are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, there were 2,057,018 shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

You do not need to attend the Annual Meeting to vote your Shares. Shares represented by valid proxies, received in time for the Annual Meeting and not revoked prior to the Annual Meeting, will be voted at the Annual Meeting. A Stockholder may revoke a proxy before the proxy is voted by delivering to our Secretary a signed statement of revocation or a duly executed proxy card bearing a later date. Any Stockholder who has executed a proxy card but attends the Annual Meeting may revoke the proxy and vote at the Annual Meeting.

How Many Votes Do I Have?

Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share of Common Stock. Holders of our Common Stock will vote together as a single class.

How Do I Vote?

Whether you plan to attend the Annual Meeting or not, we urge you to vote by proxy. All Shares represented by valid proxies that we receive through this solicitation, and that are not revoked, will be voted in accordance with your instructions on the proxy card or as instructed via Internet or telephone. You may specify whether your Shares should be voted for or against each nominee for director, and whether your Shares should be voted for, against or abstain with respect to each of the other proposals. Except as set forth below, if you properly submit a proxy without giving specific voting instructions, your Shares will be voted in accordance with the Board’s recommendations as noted below. Voting by proxy will not affect your right to attend the Annual Meeting. If your Shares are registered directly in your name through our stock transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, or you have stock certificates, you may vote:


	●	By Internet or by telephone. Follow the instructions you received to vote by Internet or telephone.


	●	By mail. Complete and mail the enclosed proxy card in the enclosed postage prepaid envelope. Your proxy will be voted in accordance with your instructions. If you sign the proxy card but do not specify how you want your Shares voted, they will be voted as recommended by the Board.

If your Shares are held in “street name” (held in the name of a bank, broker or other nominee), you must provide the bank, broker or other nominee with instructions on how to vote your Shares and can do so as follows:


	●	By Internet or by telephone. Follow the instructions you receive from your broker to vote by Internet or telephone.


	●	By mail. You will receive instructions from your broker or other nominee explaining how to vote your Shares.

If you are a beneficial owner of Shares held in street name and do not provide the organization that holds your Shares with specific voting instructions, under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges, the organization that holds your Shares may generally vote on routine matters, but cannot vote on non-routine matters.

How Does The Board Recommend That I Vote On The Proposals?

The Board recommends that you vote as follows:


	●	“FOR” the election of the Board nominees as directors;


	●	“FOR” the ratification of the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026;


	●	“FOR” the approval of the issuance of 20% or more of the Company’s common stock issuable upon the conversion of Series E Preferred Stock and issuance of Earn-Out Shares, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a) and (d);


	●	“FOR” the approval of the issuance of 20% or more of the Company’s common stock issuable upon the conversion of Series D Preferred Stock, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c);

	●	“FOR” the approval of an amendment to the Company’s 2023 Stock Incentive Plan to add an automatic share increase provision;

	●	“FOR” the grant of discretionary authority to the Company’s Board of Directors to amend the Certificate of Incorporation to effect one or more consolidations of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, pursuant to which the shares of Common Stock would be combined and reclassified into one share of Common Stock at a ratio within the range from 1-for-4 up to 1-for-100 (each, a “Reverse Stock Split”), provided that, (X) the Company shall not effect Reverse Stock Splits that, in the aggregate, exceed 1-for-100, and (Y) any Reverse Stock Split is completed no later than the first anniversary of the Record Date (as defined herein);

	●	“FOR” the approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation paid to our named executive officers;

	●	“FOR” the approval, on an advisory basis, of the frequency of future shareholder advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers; and

	●	“FOR” the approval of the adjournment of the Annual Meeting, if necessary or advisable, to solicit additional proxies in favor of the foregoing proposals if there are not sufficient votes to approve the foregoing proposals.

If any other matter is presented, the proxy card provides that your Shares will be voted by the proxy holder listed on the proxy card in accordance with his or her best judgment. At the time this Proxy Statement was printed, we knew of no matters that needed to be acted on at the Annual Meeting, other than those discussed in this Proxy Statement.

May I Change or Revoke My Proxy?

If you give us your proxy, you may change or revoke it at any time before the Annual Meeting. You may change or revoke your proxy in any one of the following ways:


	●	by signing a new proxy card and submitting it as instructed above;


	●	by re-voting by Internet or by telephone as instructed above - only your latest Internet or telephone vote will be counted;


	●	if your Shares are registered in your name, by notifying the Company’s Secretary in writing before the Annual Meeting that you have revoked your proxy; or


	●	by attending the Annual Meeting and voting; however, attending the Annual Meeting will not in and of itself revoke a previously submitted proxy unless you specifically request it.

What If I Receive More Than One Proxy Card?

You may receive more than one proxy card or voting instruction form if you hold Shares in more than one account, which may be in registered form or held in street name. Please vote in the manner described under “How Do I Vote?” on the proxy card for each account to ensure that all of your Shares are voted.

What is a Broker Non-Vote?

If your Shares are held in a fiduciary capacity (typically referred to as being held in “street name”), you must instruct the organization that holds your Shares how to vote your Shares. If you sign your proxy card but do not provide instructions on how your broker should vote on “routine” proposals, your broker will vote your Shares as recommended by the Board. If you do not provide voting instructions, your Shares will not be voted on any “non-routine” proposals. This vote is called a “broker non-vote.”

What Vote is Required to Approve Each Proposal and How are Votes Counted?


Proposal 1: Election of Directors		A plurality of the Shares present or represented by proxy is required to elect the nominees as directors. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on this proposal.

Proposal 2: Ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026.		The affirmative vote of a majority of the Shares present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the subject matter at the Annual Meeting is required to ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. This means that the votes cast by the Stockholders “FOR” the approval of the proposal must exceed the number of votes cast “AGAINST” the approval of the proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered votes cast affirmatively or negatively and will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal. If you are a beneficial owner, your broker, bank or other nominee may vote your Shares on this proposal without receiving voting instructions from you.

Proposal 3: To approve the issuance of 20% or more of the Company’s common stock issuable upon the conversion of Series E Preferred Stock and issuance of Earn-Out Shares, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a) and (d).		The affirmative vote of a majority of the Shares present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the subject matter at the Annual Meeting is required to approve this proposal. This means that the votes cast by the Stockholders “FOR” the approval of the proposal must exceed the number of votes cast “AGAINST” the approval of the proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered votes cast affirmatively or negatively and will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

Proposal 4: To approve the issuance of 20% or more of the Company’s common stock issuable upon the conversion of Series D Preferred Stock, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c).		The affirmative vote of a majority of the Shares present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the subject matter at the Annual Meeting is required to approve this proposal. This means that the votes cast by the Stockholders “FOR” the approval of the proposal must exceed the number of votes cast “AGAINST” the approval of the proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered votes cast affirmatively or negatively and will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.


Proposal 5: To approve an amendment to the Company’s 2023 Stock Incentive Plan to add an automatic share increase provision.		The affirmative vote of a majority of the Shares present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the subject matter at the Annual Meeting is required to approve this proposal. This means that the votes cast by the Stockholders “FOR” the approval of the proposal must exceed the number of votes cast “AGAINST” the approval of the proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered votes cast affirmatively or negatively and will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

Proposal 6: To grant discretionary authority to the Company’s Board of Directors to amend the Certificate of Incorporation to effect one or more consolidations of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, pursuant to which the shares of Common Stock would be combined and reclassified into one share of Common Stock at a ratio within the range from 1-for-4 up to 1-for-100 (each, a “Reverse Stock Split”), provided that, (X) the Company shall not effect Reverse Stock Splits that, in the aggregate, exceed 1-for-100, and (Y) any Reverse Stock Split is completed no later than the first anniversary of the Record Date (as defined herein).		The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting is required to approve the grant of discretionary authority to the Company’s Board of Directors to amend the Certificate of Incorporation to effect one or more consolidations of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, pursuant to which the shares of Common Stock would be combined and reclassified into one share of Common Stock at a ratio within the range from 1-for-4 up to 1-for-100 (each, a “Reverse Stock Split”), provided that, (X) the Company shall not effect Reverse Stock Splits that, in the aggregate, exceed 1-for-100, and (Y) any Reverse Stock Split is completed no later than the first anniversary of the Record Date (as defined herein). Abstentions and broker non-votes are not deemed to be votes “cast” and, therefore, will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.


Proposal 7: Non-binding advisory vote to approve executive compensation.		The affirmative vote of a majority of the Shares present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the subject matter at the Annual Meeting is required to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

Proposal 8: Non-binding advisory vote to approve the frequency of future shareholder advisory votes on the compensation of executive officers.		The frequency receiving the greatest number of votes will be considered the frequency recommended by Shareholders. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

Proposal 9: Authorization to adjourn the Annual Meeting.		The affirmative vote of a majority of the Shares present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the subject matter at the Annual Meeting is required to approve this proposal. This means that the votes cast by the Stockholders “FOR” the approval of the proposal must exceed the number of votes cast “AGAINST” the approval of the proposal. If a Stockholder votes to “ABSTAIN,” it has the same effect as a vote “AGAINST.” Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

What Constitutes a Quorum for the Annual Meeting?

The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of thirty three and one third percent (33 1/3%) of the outstanding shares of each class or series of voting stock then entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting constitutes a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Votes of Stockholders of record who are present at the Annual Meeting or by proxy, abstentions, and broker non-votes are counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists.

Do I Have Dissenters’ Rights of Appraisal?

The Company’s Stockholders do not have appraisal rights under Delaware law or under the Company’s governing documents with respect to the matters to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting.

Householding of Annual Disclosure Documents

The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) previously adopted a rule concerning the delivery of annual disclosure documents. The rule allows us or brokers holding our Shares on your behalf to send a single set of our annual report and proxy statement to any household at which two or more of our Stockholders reside, if either we or the brokers believe that the Stockholders are members of the same family. This practice, referred to as “householding,” benefits both Stockholders and us. It reduces the volume of duplicate information received by you and helps to reduce our expenses. The rule applies to our annual reports, proxy statements and information statements. Once Stockholders receive notice from their brokers or from us that communications to their addresses will be “householded,” the practice will continue until Stockholders are otherwise notified or until they revoke their consent to the practice. Each Stockholder will continue to receive a separate proxy card or voting instruction card.

Those Stockholders who either (i) do not wish to participate in “householding” and would like to receive their own sets of our annual disclosure documents in future years or (ii) who share an address with another one of our Stockholders and who would like to receive only a single set of our annual disclosure documents should follow the instructions described below:


	●	Stockholders whose Shares are registered in their own name should contact our transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, and inform them of their request by calling them at (800) 937-5449 or writing them at PO Box 500, Newark, New Jersey 07101.


	●	Stockholders whose Shares are held by a broker or other nominee should contact such broker or other nominee directly and inform them of their request. Stockholders should be sure to include their name, the name of their brokerage firm and their account number.

Who is Paying for this Proxy Solicitation?

The Company is paying the cost of preparing, printing and mailing these proxy materials. In addition to mailed proxy materials, our directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone, or by other means of communication. We will not pay our directors, officers and employees any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We may reimburse brokerage firms, banks and other agents for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners. We do not intend, but reserve the right, to use the services of a third party solicitation firm to assist us in soliciting proxies.

Who will Count the Votes?

A representative from Broadridge will act as the inspector of election and count the votes.

When are Stockholder Proposals due for Next Year’s Annual Meeting?

At our annual meeting each year, our Board submits to Stockholders its nominees for election as directors. In addition, the Board may submit other matters to the Stockholders for action at the annual meeting.

Pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), Stockholders may present proper proposals for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement for consideration at the 2026 annual meeting of Stockholders by submitting their proposals to the Company in a timely manner. These proposals must meet the Stockholder eligibility and other requirements of the SEC. To be considered for inclusion in next year’s proxy materials, you must submit your proposal in writing no later than February 29, 2027 to the Company at Interactive Strength Inc., 1005 Congress Avenue, Suite 925, Austin, TX 78701; provided, however, if the date of the Annual Meeting is convened more than 30 days before, or delayed by more than 30 days after the first anniversary of this Annual Meeting, a Stockholder proposal must be submitted in writing to the Company not less than 10 calendar days after the date the Company shall have mailed notice to its shareholders of the date that the annual meeting of shareholders will be held or shall have issued a press release or otherwise publicly disseminated notice that an annual meeting of shareholders will be held and the date of the meeting.

What Interest Do Officers and Directors Have in Matters to Be Acted Upon?

None of the members of the Board and none of the executive officers of the Company have any interest in any proposal that is not shared by all other Stockholders of the Company except for Proposal No. 1 regarding the nomination of members to the Board, Proposal No. 5 regarding the amendment to the 2023 Plan and Proposal No. 6 regarding the advisory vote on executive compensation.

Where Can I Find the Voting Results of the Annual Meeting?

We will announce preliminary voting results at the annual meeting. We will also disclose voting results in a current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC within four business days after the Annual Meeting, which will be available on our website.

WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY

The Company files annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC. You can read and copy any materials that the Company files with the SEC, which you can access over the Internet at http://www.sec.gov. The Company’s website address is www.interactivestrength.com. Information contained on, or that can be accessed through, the Company’s website is not a part of this Proxy Statement.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of our Common Stock by (i) each person who, to our knowledge, owns more than 5% of our Common Stock (ii) our current directors and the named executive officers identified under the heading “Executive Compensation” and (iii) all of our current directors and executive officers as a group. We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with applicable rules of the SEC, and the information reflected in the table below is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under applicable SEC rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which a person has sole or shared voting power or investment power and any shares which the person has the right to acquire within 60 days after April 8, 2026 through the exercise of any option, warrant or right or through the conversion of any convertible security. Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes to the table below and subject to community property laws where applicable, we believe, based on the information furnished to us that each of the persons named in this table has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares indicated as beneficially owned.

The information set forth in the table below is based on 2,057,018 shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding on April 8, 2026. In computing the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, we deemed to be outstanding all shares of Common Stock subject to options, warrants, rights or other convertible securities held by that person that are currently exercisable or will be exercisable within 60 days after April 8, 2026. We did not deem these shares outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Unless otherwise indicated, the principal address of each

of the Stockholders below is in care of Interactive Strength Inc., 1005 Congress Avenue, Suite 925, Austin, TX 78701. Our executive officers and directors, collectively, own less than one tenth of one percent (0.1%) of our shares outstanding.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Our Board of Directors

Director Independence

Our board of directors consists of five (5) members. Our board of directors determined that each of Ms. Bartok Touw and Mr. Leis qualify as an independent director under applicable SEC and Nasdaq rules. In addition, after the resignation of Mr. Weaver from Apeiron and based on a review of the applicable SEC and Nasdaq rules, our board of directors determined that Mr. Weaver qualifies as an independent director. Specifically, our board of directors undertook a review of the independence of each director. Based on information provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment, and affiliations, our board of directors determined that each of Ms. Bartok Touw, Mr. Weaver and Mr. Leis does not have relationships that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and that Ms. Bartok Touw, Mr. Weaver, and Mr. Leis are “independent” as that term is defined under applicable SEC and Nasdaq rules. In making these determinations, our board of directors considered the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director has with our company and all other facts and circumstances our board of directors deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our shares by each non-employee director and the transactions described in “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions.” In making this determination with respect to Mr. Weaver, our board of directors also considered the nature of Apeiron’s investment in the Company, the prior advisory services rendered by Apeiron, the nature of Mr. Weaver’s employment position with Apeiron as a portfolio manager and not a director, partner, or executive or senior officer, his direct and indirect ownership of less than 10% in Apeiron, and his resignation from Apeiron.

Board Structure

Our directors are divided into three classes serving staggered three-year terms. Class I, Class II and Class III directors will serve until our annual meetings of stockholders in 2027, 2028, and 2029, respectively. At each annual meeting of stockholders, directors will be appointed to succeed the class of directors whose terms have expired. This classification of our board of directors could have the effect of increasing the length of time necessary to change the composition of a majority of our board of directors. In general, at least two annual meetings of stockholders will be necessary for stockholders to effect a change in a majority of the members of our board of directors. Our current directors are divided among the three classes as follows:

•

the Class I directors are Messrs. Mulchandani and Leis, and their term will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2027;

•

the Class II director is Mr. Weaver, and his term will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2028; and

•

the Class III directors are Mr. Ward and Ms. Bartok Touw, and their terms will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2029.

Lead Independent Director

Our board of directors adopted corporate governance guidelines that provide that the board of directors shall appoint an independent director to serve as our lead independent director for so long as we have a non-independent Chairperson. Our board of directors appointed Ms. Bartok Touw to serve as our lead independent director. As lead independent director, Ms. Bartok Touw has primary responsibilities to preside over all meetings at which the Chairperson is not present and serve as a liaison between the Chairperson and the independent directors.

Director Compensation

Directors who are also full-time officers or employees of our company receive no additional compensation for serving as directors. All non-employee directors receive compensation in accordance with our non-employee director compensation policy, described below.

No compensation of any kind (whether cash, stock, or options) was paid to our directors, who are not full-time officers or employees, who served during the year ended December 31, 2025. Accordingly, Messrs. Weaver and Leis and Ms. Bartok Touw received no compensation for serving as directors.

Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy

We have not historically paid cash retainers or other compensation with respect to service on our board of directors. We have reimbursed and will continue to reimburse all of our non-employee directors for their reasonable expenses incurred in attending meetings of our board of directors and committees of our board of directors.

Although we have adopted a non-employee director compensation policy, this policy was not utilized in 2025. This policy provides for the annual grant of stock options under the Interactive Strength Inc. 2023 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2023 Plan”) following the conclusion of each regular annual meeting of our stockholders, to each non-employee director who will continue serving as a member of our board of directors. The annual option award will be with respect to a number of shares of common stock with an aggregate fair market value as determined under the 2023 Plan equal to $120,000 calculated on the date of grant. This number of shares underlying each such award will be equal to $120,000 divided by the estimated Black-Scholes value of such stock options as of the date of grant, rounded down to the nearest whole share. Each annual option award will be granted with an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value on the date of grant and will become fully vested, subject to continued service as a director, on the earliest of the 12-month anniversary of the date of grant, the next annual meeting of stockholders following the date of grant, or the consummation of a change in control (as defined in the 2023 Plan).

If a non-employee director is elected to our board of directors other than at an annual meeting of our stockholders, such non-employee director will receive an award of stock options upon election to our board of directors that is consistent with the foregoing, provided that such grant will be prorated based on the number of calendar days remaining before (i) the next annual meeting of stockholders, if scheduled, or (ii) the date of the first anniversary of the last annual meeting of stockholders, if the next annual meeting is not yet scheduled.

Each non-employee director who joins the board of directors as a non-employee member will receive a stock option award under the 2023 Plan with an aggregate fair value determined under the 2023 Plan with a grant date fair value as determined under the 2023 Plan equal to $240,000 calculated on the date of grant. The number of shares underlying each such award will be equal to $240,000 divided by the estimated Black-Scholes value of such stock options as of the date of grant, rounded down to the nearest whole share. This option award will be granted with an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value on the date of grant and will vest, subject to continued service as a director, in equal annual installments over three years or, if earlier, the consummation of a change in control (as defined in the 2023 Plan).

The aggregate value of all compensation granted or paid, as applicable, to any non-employee director for service as a non-employee director during any 12-month period, including awards granted and cash fees we pay to such non-employee director, will not exceed $500,000 in total value, and with respect to the 12-month period in which a non-employee director is first appointed or elected to the board of directors, will not exceed $750,000 in total value, in each case calculating the value of any awards based on the grant date fair value of such awards as determined for financial reporting purposes.

Non-Employee Director Share Ownership Policy

Our board of directors adopted a share ownership policy for its non-employee directors to further align the personal interests of such directors with the interests of our stockholders. Under such policy, each non-employee director is expected to acquire, and continue to hold during the term of his or her service on our board of directors, ownership of shares of our common stock having a specified minimum value as determined by our board of directors. Such policy requires non-employee directors to hold a specified minimum percentage of the shares acquired through any of our equity incentive plans (net of the number applied to pay applicable taxes) until the share ownership policy is satisfied. This policy was not implemented in 2025.

Board Committees

Our board of directors established an audit committee, a compensation committee, and a nominating and corporate governance committee. Our board of directors adopted a charter for each of these committees, which complies with the applicable requirements of current Nasdaq rules. We intend to comply with future requirements to the extent they are applicable to us.

Information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website is not incorporated by reference in this prospectus and does not form a part of this prospectus.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of the members of our compensation committee has ever been an executive officer or employee of ours. None of our executive officers currently serve, or has served during the last completed fiscal year, on the compensation committee or board of directors of any other entity that has one or more executive officers serving as a member of our board of directors or compensation committee.

Indemnification and Insurance

Our amended and restated certification of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws provide that we shall indemnify our directors and officers against all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses, losses, damages or liabilities incurred or sustained by such director or officer, other than such liability (if any) that he or she may incur by reason of his or her own actual fraud or willful default, in connection with the execution or discharge of his or her duties, powers, authorities or discretions as a director or officer of the Company.

We have also entered into indemnification agreements with our directors, executive officers, and certain other employees under which we have agreed to indemnify each such person and hold them harmless against expenses, judgments, penalties, fines, and amounts payable under settlement agreements in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding to which they have been made a party or in which they became involved by reason of the fact that they are, or were, our director, officer, or employee. Except with respect to expenses to be reimbursed by us in the event that the indemnified person has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of the action, suit or proceeding, our obligations under the indemnification agreements are subject to certain customary restrictions and exceptions. The indemnification agreements are governed under Delaware law.

Narrative to Summary Compensation Table

We review compensation annually for all employees, including our executives. In setting executive base salaries and bonuses and granting equity incentive awards, we consider compensation for comparable positions in the market, the historical compensation levels of our executives, individual performance as compared to our expectations and objectives, our desire to motivate our employees to achieve short- and long-term results that are in the best interests of our stockholders, and a long-term commitment to our company. We do not target a specific competitive position or a specific mix of compensation among base salary, bonus or equity incentives.

In evaluating the roles, responsibilities, authority, titles, and functions of our management team, our board of directors has determined that Trent A. Ward, our co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, was one of our executive officers in 2024 and 2025. We based this determination on an analysis of several factors, including those articulated in the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. Specifically, since our inception in 2017, Mr. Ward has held, and is expected to continue to hold for the foreseeable future, primary and ultimate responsibility, authority, and operational decision-making functions over the principal operations, business units, and functions of the Company, including all significant policymaking authority. In addition, we believe this determination is appropriate in light of the current size and scope of our business and operations and the relatively early growth stage of the Company. For 2024, Michael J. Madigan, our former Chief Financial Officer, was also deemed to be an executive officer, and for 2025, Caleb Morgret, our Chief Financial Officer and principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, was also deemed to be an executive officer. We intend to continue to evaluate the roles and responsibilities of our management team as our business and operations evolve, and to reassess the designation and composition of our executive officers as appropriate and in consideration of applicable rules and regulations.

Base Salaries

In 2024 and 2025, base salaries were set at a level that was commensurate with each of our executive officers’ respective duties and authorities, contributions, prior experience, and sustained performance.

Executive Annual Incentive Plan

We have adopted the Executive Annual Incentive Plan (the “Annual Incentive Plan”). The Annual Incentive Plan is administered by the compensation committee. Only key employees designated by the compensation committee as participants are eligible to participate in the Annual Incentive Plan. The Annual Incentive Plan was not utilized in 2025.

During the first quarter of each fiscal year, the compensation committee will establish an individual target award opportunity for employees who participate in the Annual Incentive Plan (including any threshold or maximum award opportunities), the performance goals, the target performance goals (including any threshold or maximum), and the percentage weighting of each performance goal and/or formulas which will be utilized to measure the performance of the participants during the fiscal year.

The amount available to allocate for payment of bonuses under the Annual Incentive Plan in respect of a given fiscal year of the Company (the “Bonus Pool”) will be determined by the compensation committee. During the first quarter of a fiscal year, the compensation committee will establish target funding levels (including any threshold or maximum)

for the Bonus Pool. No later than 30 days after the end of each fiscal year, the compensation committee will determine the actual achievement of the performance goals and the overall percentage of achievement based on the achievement of the various performance goals and certify the final Bonus Pool for the year based on the pre-established funding levels and the level of achievement relative to the pre-established performance goals after taking into account any adjustment of the individual target award opportunity (including any threshold or maximum award opportunities), the performance metrics, formulas and the targeted achievement levels (including any threshold or maximum achievement levels) relating to such performance goals and the formulas used in determining the Bonus Pool as deemed necessary or appropriate by the compensation committee in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events affecting us or our consolidated financial statements or changes in applicable laws, regulations or accounting principles.

Individual bonus payouts are determined by applying the participant’s individual target award opportunity by the overall percentage of achievement of the performance goals, provided that the calculated payment may not exceed the maximum award opportunity (to the extent applicable) and no bonus payment will be made if the amount calculated falls below any applicable threshold. Bonuses are not guaranteed and are awarded and payable at our compensation committee’s discretion. Bonuses will be payable in cash or shares of our common stock issued under the Annual Incentive Plan, in either case less applicable deductions and tax withholdings. An employee must be employed on the date of payment to earn any bonus under the Annual Incentive Plan.

Either our board of directors or the compensation committee may amend, suspend or terminate the Annual Incentive Plan in writing at any time, for any and no reason.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, any bonus payments under the Annual Incentive Plan will be subject to any clawback or recoupment policies we have in place from time to time.

Equity Incentive Awards

Our equity incentive awards are designed to align our interests with those of our employees, including Mr. Ward and Mr. Morgret.

We have historically granted stock options to our employees, including Mr. Ward, under the 2020 Plan.

Options are granted at a price not less than the fair market value on the date of grant and generally become exercisable within four years after the date of grant, subject to continued service with us. Options generally expire ten years from the date of grant. The 2020 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, which qualify for favorable tax treatment to recipients under Section 422 of the Code and non-qualified stock options. Such awards may be granted to our employees, directors and consultants.

Following the completion of our initial public offering in 2023, equity awards were granted to our employees, including Mr. Ward, under the Interactive Strength Inc. 2023 Stock Incentive Plan (as described below). No awards were granted in 2025.

Health and Welfare Benefits and Perquisites

Mr. Ward and Mr. Morgret are eligible to participate in our employee benefit plans, including our medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance plans, on the same basis as all of our other employees. Except for the provision of life insurance policies to certain executives, including Mr. Ward and Mr. Morgret, we do not maintain any executive-specific benefit or perquisite programs.

Retirement Benefits

We sponsor a tax-qualified Section 401(k) plan for our United States employees, including Mr. Ward and Mr. Morgret. Participants may make pre-tax and certain after-tax (Roth) salary deferral contributions to the plan from their eligible earnings up to the statutorily prescribed annual limit under the Code. An employee’s interest in his or her salary deferral contributions is 100% vested when contributed.

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control

Executive Severance Plan

In October 2022, we adopted an Executive Severance Plan (the “Executive Severance Plan”) applicable to our Chief Executive Officer and certain other key employees that became effective upon the completion of our initial public offering. Under the Executive Severance Plan, if a participant’s employment is terminated (i) by the participant with “good reason” (as defined in the Executive Severance Plan), (ii) by us without “cause” (as defined in the Executive Severance Plan) or (iii) due to the named executive officer’s death or the named executive officer becoming “disabled” (as defined in the Executive Severance Plan”), and provided the named executive officer (or his or her estate or representative, as applicable) signs and does not revoke our standard release of claims and complies with all applicable restrictive covenants and contractual obligations, the participant will be entitled to receive:

•

salary continuation payments for 18 months (for our Chief Executive Officer) or 12 months (for participants other than our Chief Executive Officer) (such period, the “Severance Period”) following the participant’s termination of employment; and

•

subsidized continued health insurance coverage under the Consolidated Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), for the participant and his or her eligible dependents during the Severance Period.

If any participant’s employment is terminated (i)(A) by the participant with good reason, (B) by us without cause or (C) due to the participant’s death or the participant becoming disabled, and (ii) such termination occurs within 12 months after a “change in control” (as defined in the Executive Severance Plan), and provided the participant (or his or her estate or representative, as applicable) signs and does not revoke our standard release of claims and complies with all applicable restrictive covenants and contractual obligations, the participant will be entitled to receive:

•

continued payments of an amount equal to the sum of (A) the participant’s then current base salary plus (B) the participant’s then current target annual bonus, in equal installments during the Severance Period;

•

full vesting acceleration with respect to all outstanding equity compensation awards, with post-termination exercisability as specified in the applicable equity award agreement; and

•

subsidized continued health insurance coverage under COBRA for the participant and his or her eligible dependents during the Severance Period.

In addition, in the event any of the payments or benefits provided for under the Executive Severance Plan or otherwise payable to a participant would constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and could be subject to the related excise tax, the participant would be entitled to receive either full payment of such

payments and benefits or such lesser amount which would result in no portion of the payments and benefits being subject to the excise tax, whichever results in the greater amount of after-tax benefits to the participant.

The Executive Severance Plan supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements or understandings, written or oral, relating to the participants’ entitlement to receive severance pay or benefits from the Company (including, without limitation, the participants’ offer letters). Accordingly, none of the participants is eligible to receive severance payments or benefits under any other plan or agreement with us.

Current and Potential Equity Grants

We granted options to purchase shares of our common stock under the 2023 Plan to certain of our executive officers and other employees and to non-employee directors. Such option grants were approved and granted immediately prior to the completion of our initial public offering. The grant of options was, and any future grant of RSUs that may be made to directors and executive officers would be, subject to approval by the compensation committee or, in the case of director equity grants, issued pursuant to our non-employee director compensation policy approved by the compensation committee and our board of directors. However, we have not made any final determinations as to any future RSU awards or the timing thereof, and there can be no assurance that we will grant any RSU awards in the future, if at all, or as to the number of shares which may be subject to any such future equity awards.

Equity Incentive Plans

2020 Equity Incentive Plan

The following is a description of the material terms of our 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”). The summary below does not contain a complete description of all provisions of the 2020 Plan and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 2020 Plan, a copy of which is included as an exhibit to the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1, filed with the SEC on January 11, 2024.

General. The 2020 Plan was adopted by our board of directors on December 15, 2020 and subsequently approved by our stockholders.

As of December 31, 2025, options to purchase a total of 1 shares of our common stock were outstanding under the 2020 Plan. The weighted-average exercise price of the options outstanding under the 2020 Plan is $920,000.00 per share.

Following the completion of our initial public offering, no additional awards and no additional shares of our common stock will remain available for future issuance under the 2020 Plan. However, the 2020 Plan will continue to govern the terms and conditions of the outstanding awards previously granted thereunder. Shares originally reserved for issuance under the 2020 Plan, but which are not subject to outstanding options on the effective date of the 2023 Plan (as defined below), and shares subject to outstanding options under the 2020 Plan on the effective date of the 2023 Plan that are subsequently forfeited or terminated for any reason before being exercised or becoming vested, not issued because an option is settled in cash, or withheld or reacquired to satisfy the applicable exercise, or a tax withholding obligation will again become available for issuance under our 2023 Plan.

The 2020 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, or ISOs, to employees and the grant of nonstatutory stock options, NSOs, to employees, non-employee directors, advisors, and consultants. The 2020 Plan also provides for the grant of restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, and stock appreciation rights to employees, non-employee directors, advisors and consultants. While we have granted ISOs and NSOs, we have not granted any restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, or stock appreciation rights.

Administration. The 2020 Plan has been administered by our board of directors, and may be amended, suspended, or terminated by our board of directors. To the extent required by applicable law or deemed necessary or advisable by our board of directors, any amendment to the 2020 Plan is subject to stockholder approval.

Authorized Shares. We previously reserved 6 shares of our common stock for issuance under the 2020 Plan. In the event of a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, subdivision, combination, reclassification of the shares, or other change in our capital structure affecting shares without consideration, the administrator of the

2020 Plan will proportionately adjust (i) the number and class of shares (or other securities) that thereafter may be made the subject of awards, (ii) the number, and class of shares (or other securities or property) subject to any outstanding awards, and/or (iii) the purchase or exercise price of any outstanding awards, in each case to the extent necessary to prevent diminution or enlargement of the level of incentives intended by the 2020 Plan and the then-outstanding awards.

Stock Options. The administrator of the 2020 Plan determines the exercise price for each stock option, provided that the exercise price of an option must equal at least 100% of the fair market value of our common stock subject to the option on the date of grant and the term of an option may not exceed ten years, provided further, that no ISO may be granted to any stockholder holding more than 10% of our voting shares unless the option exercise price is at least 110% of the fair market value of the common stock subject to the option on the date of grant, and the term of the ISO does not exceed five years from the date of grant. No option may be transferred by the option holder other than by will, or by the laws of descent or distribution and, in case of NSOs, to a trust or by gift to a “family member” as that term is defined in Rule 701 of the Securities Act. Each option may be exercised during the option holder’s lifetime solely by the option holder or his or her legal representative. Options granted under the 2020 Plan are early exercisable and generally vest over a 48-month period, with 25% vesting on the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date and the remaining portion vesting in 36 equal monthly installments thereafter. Unless otherwise provided in an applicable award agreement, upon the termination of an option holder’s service as an employee, non-employee director, or consultant due to death or disability (or death within three months after a termination other than for cause) or for any reason other than for cause, such option holder may exercise his or her vested options no later than seven years after the date service terminates. If the option holder’s service is terminated for cause, the shares that are vested under the option will be exercisable only on the option holder’s termination date unless otherwise determined by the administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no option may be exercised after the expiration of its term.

Corporate Transactions. The 2020 Plan provides that, in the event of a merger, consolidation, sale of more than 50% of our voting stock to a third party, or sale of all substantially all of our assets (each, a “Change in Control Event”), the outstanding options will be subject to the agreement evidencing the Change in Control Event which may provide for continuation, assumption, substitution, acceleration, settlement in cash, cash equivalents, or securities of the successor entity, or termination without any consideration of such outstanding options.

2023 Stock Incentive Plan

On January 24, 2023, our board of directors approved and adopted, subject to stockholder approval, the Interactive Strength Inc. 2023 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2023 Plan”), and our stockholders approved the 2023 Plan on January 26, 2023. The 2023 Plan became effective upon the completion of our initial public offering. Once the 2023 Plan became effective, no further grants were made under our 2020 Plan. This summary is not a complete description of all provisions of the 2023 Plan and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 2023 Plan, which is filed as an exhibit to the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1, filed with the SEC on January 11, 2024.

Stock Awards. The 2023 Plan provides for incentive stock options, or ISOs, non-qualified stock options, or NSOs, restricted share awards, stock unit awards, stock appreciation rights, other stock-based awards, performance-based stock awards, (collectively, “stock awards”) and cash-based awards (stock awards and cash-based awards are collectively referred to as “awards”). ISOs may be granted only to our employees, including officers, and the employees of our parent or subsidiaries. All other awards may be granted to our employees, officers, our non-employee directors, and consultants and the employees and consultants of our subsidiaries and affiliates.

Share Reserve. The aggregate number of shares of our common stock that may be issued pursuant to stock awards under the 2023 Plan will be 4 shares (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, and the like), plus (x) any shares underlying outstanding awards under the 2020 Plan that are subsequently forfeited or terminated for any reason before being exercised or becoming vested, not issued because an award is settled in cash, or withheld or reacquired to satisfy the applicable exercise, or purchase price, or a tax withholding obligation, plus (y) the number of shares which, but for the termination of the 2020 Plan immediately prior to the completion of our initial public offering, were reserved under the 2020 Plan but not at such time issued or subject to outstanding awards under the 2020 Plan, plus (z) an annual increase on the first day of each calendar year, for a period of not more than ten years, beginning on January 1, 2024 and ending on (and including) January 1, 2032, in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 5% of our outstanding shares on the last day of the immediately preceding calendar year or (ii) such lesser amount

(including zero) that the compensation committee (as defined below) determines for purposes of the annual increase for that calendar year.

If restricted shares or shares issued upon the exercise of options are forfeited, then such shares will again become available for awards under the 2023 Plan. If stock units, options, or stock appreciation rights are forfeited or terminate for any reason before being exercised or settled, or an award is settled in cash without the delivery of shares to the holder, then the corresponding shares will again become available for awards under the 2023 Plan. Any shares withheld to satisfy the exercise price or tax withholding obligation pursuant to any award of options or stock appreciation rights will again become available for awards under the 2023 Plan. If stock units or stock appreciation rights are settled, then only the number of shares (if any) actually issued in settlement of such stock units or stock appreciation rights will reduce the number of shares available under the 2023 Plan, and the balance (including any shares withheld to cover taxes) will again become available for awards under the 2023 Plan.

Shares issued under the 2023 Plan are, and will be, authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares, or previously issued shares. As of December 31, 2023, we have granted awards and issued 6 shares of common stock, in each case under the 2023 Plan.
