What you ship

Every feature a modern fitness business needs.

The US fitness app market hit $5.2 billion in 2025. Your members are already on apps - the question is whether they are on yours, or someone else\'s.

Class Schedule & Booking

Members browse classes, reserve a spot, and check in - all from the app. Capacity limits, waitlists, and cancellation windows built in.

Workout Library

Upload routines as videos, PDFs, or step-by-step instructions. Tag by muscle group, difficulty, and equipment. Members access on demand.

Personal Training Plans

Assign custom programs per client. Track sets, reps, weights, and PRs. See client adherence at a glance.

Push Reminders

Pre-class push 30 minutes before start. Missed-session nudges. New-program-available alerts. Drives 2-3x higher attendance.

Membership & Auto-Pay

Sign-ups, plan changes, and recurring billing through Stripe. Members can pause, upgrade, or cancel from inside the app.

Progress Photos & Body Stats

Members log measurements, weight, photos. Side-by-side comparison view. Motivating, and a powerful retention tool.

Trainer Messaging

In-app chat between trainers and clients. Voice notes, video form-check uploads. Keeps coaching off WhatsApp and inside your brand.

Challenges & Leaderboards

30-day challenges, weekly streaks, community leaderboards. Gamification proven to boost retention 20-40%.

Native iOS & Android

Real native apps - not webviews. Apple Health and Google Fit sync, push notifications, offline workout access.

Why your gym needs an app

Retention is the whole game.

The average US gym sees 25-50% annual member churn. Most of that loss happens silently - a member skips three weeks, feels guilty, and cancels the auto-pay. A branded fitness app changes the math: members see their booked classes, get a push notification before sessions, log their progress, and feel the gym every day instead of remembering it on billing day.

Personal trainers see the same dynamic in miniature. A client who has your app on their home screen is a client who finishes the program. The app holds the workouts, the schedule, the progress photos, the messaging - everything between sessions that used to live in scattered texts and screenshots.

FAQ

Gym & trainer questions

How does this compare to MindBody or ClassPass?

MindBody and Mariana Tek charge $200-$500/month plus per-booking fees and own the customer relationship. AppBuilder24 starts at $15/month, has no per-booking fees, and the app is 100% your brand.

Can I sync with Apple Health or Google Fit?

Yes. Workouts logged in the app push to Apple Health (HealthKit) and Google Fit. Steps, heart rate, and other metrics pull back in for unified tracking.

Can trainers run online and in-person clients from the same app?

Yes. Each client has their own program, schedule, and check-in flow. In-person clients book classes; online clients follow assigned routines and submit form-check videos.

Do members need to be on iPhone or Android?

Both. The app publishes to both Apple App Store and Google Play. Roughly 50/50 in the US, so building for one store leaves half your members behind.

How do I take recurring payments for memberships?

Stripe and PayPal are integrated for recurring billing. Set monthly, quarterly, or annual plans. Members manage their subscription from the app - no awkward "call to cancel" flows.

Can I run challenges and competitions?

Yes. Built-in challenge module: set the rules (most check-ins, fastest mile, total volume lifted), invite members, automatic leaderboard. Great for January New-Year-resolution push.
