FTM Fitness World is a company created in 2012 in Atlanta, Georgia, US, by Neo Sandja, a transgender man.^[1] In 2014, it launched its first annual conference, known as TransFitCon, dedicated to the transgender community. With its motto "Fitness for the mind, body and spirit", the idea was to create a 3-day conference where transgender people could improve their lives in five main areas: wellness (including health, fitness, and nutrition), spirituality, relationships, finances and personal development. The conference included the first historical bodybuilding competition for transgender people,^[2] won by Shawn Stinson,^[3] and added a powerlifting competition in the third year with Janae Marie Kroc as the powerlifting head judge.

In 2016, FTM Fitness World created a new branch, The International Association of Trans Bodybuilders, with its first official competition in 2017.
