Gym & fitness websites
Class schedules, trial signups, trainer profiles and payment — one clean site that does the whole front-desk job.
Fitness is a face-to-face business. The problem is, most people decide whether to visit your gym before they walk through the door — from their phone, on the couch, at 11pm. If your website is a dated Facebook page, that decision goes to the gym next door.
We build gym sites that feel as sharp as the training. Class timetable that updates itself. Free-trial form that goes straight to your inbox. Trainer bios that make people actually want to book with a specific coach. Real work, not fluff.
After building for dozens of businesses, these come up on almost every call.
Website is a one-pager with no way to book a trial class.
Class schedule is a screenshot from Instagram Stories — outdated in a week.
Membership pricing is hidden, so cold visitors bounce before enquiring.
Trainers have no profiles — hard to build personal following.
No local SEO — the gym two streets away shows up first on Google Maps.
One-click form on every page. Lead lands in your inbox and WhatsApp instantly, ready for a personal reply.
Editable in a dashboard, filterable by trainer, level, and time. Members can book a spot in seconds.
Clean tiers, add-ons, and a proper Stripe or Paddle checkout — no more chasing bank transfers.
Each coach gets a page with bio, specialty and photos. Great for personal brands and 1-on-1 bookings.
Optional: a chatbot that answers timings, prices and books a trial without a human involved. On WhatsApp too.
“Gym near me” and city-specific keywords, plus Google Business optimisation. Where new members actually search.
Almost every gym website we audit fails the same test: a visitor cannot figure out how much a membership costs, when the beginner class runs, or how to book a trial — within 15 seconds of landing. That's the entire funnel. Fitness buyers are impulse buyers; they Google "gym near me" at 9am after a bad look in the mirror and they will convert on whichever site removes friction fastest. Everything else — Instagram feeds, founder stories, gear photos — is secondary to "price + schedule + book trial" being visible above the fold.
The single highest-ROI feature we add to gym sites is a free-trial or intro-offer flow with instant payment. Not "call us to book" — a real form that captures name, phone, chosen class, and a Stripe pre-auth (or free if you offer it). Members who put in a card, even for $1, show up. Members who "call to book" ghost 70% of the time. If you're on Mindbody, Glofox, TeamUp or WodBoard, we wire the trial flow directly into your existing system so the class capacity, waitlist and payment all stay in one place.
For personal trainers and boutique studios, the trainer profile page is your highest-converting asset — higher than the homepage. Each trainer gets their own URL (yoursite.com/trainers/sarah), a proper bio with specialties (strength, mobility, postpartum, prep), 3–4 real testimonials, one video, and a one-click session booking button. This structure also happens to rank for "[trainer name] [city]" branded searches, which is how repeat local buyers find you.
Local SEO for gyms is winnable with modest effort. Google prioritizes three signals for "gym near me": (1) an optimized Google Business Profile with photos, hours, class list and 20+ recent reviews, (2) local schema markup on your website (LocalBusiness + HealthClub + AggregateRating), and (3) content targeting "[activity] [neighborhood]" long-tail terms ("kettlebell class Fulham", "beginner CrossFit Austin"). We set all three up during the build — most gyms hit top-3 local rank within 90 days.
The reason clients switch — and stop paying monthly platform fees.

Recent project
We built a full digital identity for a high-end training brand — a website that carries the same weight as their in-person experience. Trial bookings started coming in the first week.
See more of our workYes. We build the booking flow either as a lightweight custom system or by integrating something like Mindbody or Trainerize if you already use one.
We connect Stripe or Paddle for one-off and recurring payments. Both are safer and cleaner than manual bank transfers.
Yes. Digital products, coaching packages, meal plans — we can add a small storefront to the same site.
We optimise your Google Business Profile, add local structured data on the site, and use the neighbourhood keywords your future members actually search. It's not magic — usually takes 2–3 months to see movement.
