Matterhorn Fit

What Matterhorn Fit does

Matterhorn Fit, LLC is a Florida-based rehabilitation and performance company founded in 2018 in Bonita Springs by former NHL player Ryan Vesce and certified strength coach Sean Sullivan. The firm operates physical therapy and athletic training centers around a proprietary methodology called the Matterhorn Method — a three-phase neurological process (Diagnostic, Corrective, Reinforcement) that uses low-intensity direct current electrical stimulation to identify breakdowns in brain–muscle communication and applies tailored movement protocols to re-educate neuromuscular pathways. Service offerings are organized as a $150 one-hour Initial Evaluation that gates all clients, followed by Rehabilitation Services, Personal/Elite Athlete Training, and optional Nutrition Consultation with a Registered Dietician Nutritionist. Insurance is not accepted; HSA/FSA funds are, supporting a cash-pay, pay-as-you-go model.

The company's go-to-market is a hybrid of direct-to-consumer clinic visits, community alliances with six Collier County golf and country clubs that host on-site complimentary evaluations and monthly seminars, B2B referrals from NCH Healthcare System's concierge practice, and event-driven demand generation through All-Ivy hockey showcases at Hertz Arena that draw 200+ youth players and 35+ college coaches. It has credentialed 70+ professional athletes and 12 Olympians, generated earned media across NBC2, ABC7, Fox4, Naples Illustrated, Gulfshore Life, Spotlight Magazine, and InsideHook, and reports that 94% of clients experience a major reduction in pain within two weeks.

Matterhorn Fit operates four active locations in Florida — Bonita Springs (HQ), Naples, Fort Lauderdale, and a Fort Myers franchise (awarded June 2024) — and is opening its first Northeast site in Stamford, Connecticut in fall 2025 inside the new Wings Arena, co-developed with EN Hockey. A franchise program launched in October 2023 is the primary lever for national expansion, while Kenny Turano, a Harvard-educated CFO with 16 years of public/private equity experience, joined as Partner in September 2021 to drive multi-unit scaling.
