Ifa Simmonds is an equestrian fitness and performance coach with over a decade of experience. He is the founder of the Equestrian Fitness Academy (EFA), created to help riders build strong, balanced bodies in and out of the saddle. He helps equestrians improve core strength, balance, and mobility through functional, rider-specific fitness programs. At the core of his training process are four key pillars: stability, suppleness, strength, and stamina. Each pillar is designed to enhance a rider’s fitness, position, and communication in the saddle. From trail riders to top-level competitors and coaches, he works across English and Western disciplines, including dressage, eventing, reining, hunter/jumper, and western pleasure. Drawing on certifications in functional fitness, yoga, and Pilates, he weaves these disciplines into EFA to help riders move with greater strength, fluidity, and purpose. A sought-after clinician, writer, and presenter, he shares his expertise with equestrian organizations worldwide and has been featured on platforms like IEA and IHSA.
