Fitness app development for gyms and trainers, live in 7 days

Should you build a custom fitness app or start from FitPro?

A custom app starts from a blank screen. The Mobile App (MVP) package — from ₹1,25,000, up to 3 months — is the right route when the app itself is a new idea: something no ready-made product does yet, and where the build is the business.

FitPro is for the other case: you run a gym, a studio or a training business and want members on an app under your own name, with their plans, progress and payments in it. Because FitPro is ready-made, the 7 days go on branding, deployment and testing, not on building screens. Anything it does not do can be built on top later through the Customise model.

What are FitPro’s four parts for?

Workout plans are what members follow. Member tracking lets your staff see each member and where they stand. Progress analytics shows how members are progressing over time, so a conversation about results starts from something both sides can see. Fees are collected through Razorpay or Stripe, with GST invoice templates, inside the same app members train with.

Behind it sits an admin panel where your staff manage users, content, pricing and payments without a developer. It means a gym can change a membership price or update its content itself, rather than raising a request with an outside developer and waiting for it.

Buy, rent or white-label: which suits a fitness business?

Buying suits a business that wants the app as an asset it controls; renting suits one that would rather pay a monthly licence than the one-time price. The model is chosen when the scope is confirmed, together with anything you want customised. Four of the models FitPro is offered on are set out below.

• Buy outright: ₹49,000 once, for the source code and a perpetual, non-exclusive licence to run and change FitPro for your own business; it can run on your infrastructure or ours.
• Rent: ₹9,999 a month as a monthly licence; you run the app and keep what it earns.
• White-label: your brand and domain, our technology underneath; members never see our name.
• Customise: start from FitPro and have what your gym needs built on top, priced in writing after the scope call.

What does FitPro not do?

Class scheduling, trainer calendars and diet plans are not in FitPro’s description. Diet plans are what DietMate does — ₹49,000 to buy or ₹7,999 a month to rent. Scheduling, and anything else specific to your gym, can be added through the Customise model, which starts from the product and builds what you need on top, priced in writing after the scope call.

App-store submission is part of deployment where needed, but the review itself is done by Apple and Google on their own timetable, so allow for it before you announce a launch date to members. Card and UPI payments carry Razorpay’s or Stripe’s own transaction charges, which are not part of FitPro’s price.
