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.
Trainera
Trainera combines gym memberships, payments, door access, staff, scheduling, and a member app in one system. Gyms can configure package prices, currencies, billing cycles, access hours, and entry limits. Members check in with QR cards, while expired or inactive memberships are blocked automatically. The planner supports classes, small groups, open gym, and personal training, with recurring sessions, capacity limits, and rosters. The member app includes bookings, training and nutrition plans, workout and meal tracking, progress records, and messaging. Gyms may enable AI food scanning and plan drafts by membership package; trainers review and approve plans. Online member card sales run through the gym’s own Stripe account with a 0% platform fee. Trainera says it imports members, packages, expiry dates, trainers, and plans from exports without a migration fee. Gym Core costs $149 a month plus $49 per trainer a month; White Label costs $299 a month plus $35 per trainer a month; Studio costs $339 a month plus $29 per trainer a month. The app supports Android, iOS, web, and API access, and is available in 26 languages.
