In their own words
Gym Builder
Gym Builder is a self-hosted WordPress plugin for fitness, gym and yoga websites. It manages classes, trainers, members and memberships, with weekly timetables that set per-slot capacity, automate bookings and count seats. The free core supports unlimited membership packages, class-based tiers, tabbed pricing tables, WordPress member accounts, emailed credentials, member ID cards and front-end dashboards. It also includes BMI, body-fat, water-intake and protein-intake calculators. Paid add-ons add Stripe checkout, recurring or one-time billing, subscriptions and a member self-service portal, alongside integrations for WooCommerce, Google Calendar and Meet, Zoom, Elementor and Gutenberg. Fitness tracking covers workout programs, logs, measurements, goals, progress charts and member-trainer chat. The Pro AI Agent offers around 40 admin-only abilities through OpenAI, Anthropic or Google and requests confirmation before destructive actions. The free core costs nothing; Pro Bundle costs $59.99 a year, billed yearly.
