Everything you need to run your fitness business from a single app — all added with drag-and-drop.
Let members browse your weekly class timetable and book slots directly from the app. Automated reminders reduce no-shows by up to 30%.
Collect membership fees, class packages, and one-time payments through Stripe or other gateways. Offer monthly, quarterly, or annual subscription billing.
Create daily exercise routines and weekly training programs. Members log workouts, track sets/reps, and monitor progress over time through their profile.
Upload workout videos or stream live coaching sessions. Embed YouTube or Vimeo content directly into your app for on-demand training access.
Send class reminders, motivational messages, promotion alerts, and membership renewal notices. Push notifications drive 3x higher engagement than email alone.
Members create profiles with fitness goals, body stats, and preferences. Trainers view client data, assign programs, and track attendance from the admin dashboard.
Reward consistent members with points, badges, and streak tracking. Loyalty programs increase 90-day retention by up to 65% in fitness apps.
Build once, publish everywhere. Every app built with Appy Pie works on both iOS and Android natively. One codebase, two app stores, maximum reach for your gym.
Let members message trainers, ask questions, and share progress. Community features increase engagement and make your app stickier than standalone tools.
Traditional fitness app development costs $30,000–$150,000 and takes 3–6 months. With Appy Pie, you start free and launch in days.
How a local CrossFit gym replaced manual scheduling with a branded fitness app — and grew membership 28% in the first quarter.
“We were running class sign-ups through a shared Google Sheet. Appy Pie let us build a branded app with real-time booking, push reminders, and Stripe payments. Our no-show rate dropped from 22% to 8% within two months.”
Marco and his partner ran a 180-member CrossFit box with 6 daily class slots managed through a Google Sheet. Members would text to reserve spots, leading to double-bookings and no-shows. They used Appy Pie’s gym app builder to create a branded app with a live class calendar, waitlist management, and automated push reminders 30 minutes before each WOD.
Within 11 days the app was live on both app stores. By month three, 412 members had downloaded it, 62% of bookings were through the app, and the no-show rate had dropped from 22% to 8%. They later added Stripe subscription billing, eliminating manual invoicing entirely.

Feedback from fitness professionals who built their app with Appy Pie.
“Built a class booking app for my boutique gym in about a week. Members love the push reminders — our no-show rate dropped almost immediately. The drag-and-drop editor is genuinely intuitive, even for someone who can barely use Excel.”
“I’m a solo PT and needed a way to send workout plans to clients without WhatsApp PDFs. Appy Pie let me create a branded app where clients log in, see their program, and track sets. It looks completely professional — they think I hired a developer.”
“Solid platform for the price. I set up a yoga app with session booking and Vimeo video library. Only reason for 4 stars: I wish there was native Apple Health integration for tracking. But for scheduling and content delivery, it’s excellent.”
“We run 3 gym locations and needed one app for all of them. Built the whole thing in Appy Pie with location-specific class schedules and a shared membership system. Stripe integration works perfectly for recurring billing.”
“Switched from Mindbody to our own app. The cost difference is night and day — Mindbody was $200+/mo for features I barely used. Appy Pie gives us everything we need for a fraction. The app submission process was smooth too.”
“I create workout programs for an online audience. The app lets me sell monthly subscriptions and deliver video content — basically my own little Peloton. Knocked off a star because analytics could be deeper, but the value at this price point is unmatched.”
