As of 2023, the company employs approximately 90 people and generates less than $100 million in annual revenue.

The acquisition expands Echelon Fitness's global reach in fitness and wellness. The acquired platform will operate under the rebranded division, ELEVATE by Echelon. This move integrates FORTË's automated livestreaming technology with Echelon Fitness's existing smart equipment and AI-driven workout personalization, bolstering Echelon Fitness's SaaS strategy and expansion into the commercial SaaS market. The acquisition was also announced on July 22, 2025.
