FTM Fitness World is a company created in 2012 in Atlanta, GA. 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-days conference where Transgender people can improve their lives in 5 main areas: Wellness (Health, Fitness, Nutrition), Spirituality, Relationships, Finances and Personal Development. The conference included the first historical bodybuilding competition for Transgender people[1][2] and added a powerlifting competition in the 3rd year, that featured Janae Marie Kroc as a the powerlifting head judge.

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