Whether you teach yoga, run a 24/7 gym, manage a CrossFit box, or coach 1-on-1 personal training, Gym Builder lets you set up your weekly timetable, let visitors register for a class right from the timetable (free — no add-on needed), manage trainers + members, show membership packages, and grow your fitness business — without touching a line of code.

⭐ Why Choose Gym Builder?

• Ready in about a minute — a short setup wizard asks what you teach, then builds your classes, trainers, pricing plans, a timetable page and a pricing page for you (sample or your own), so you start with a working site instead of an empty one
• Free class registration — visitors register for a class straight from the timetable, see how many places are left, and pick a plan; no paid add-on needed
• Built for fitness businesses — every field, taxonomy, and workflow is purpose-built for class/trainer/member operations, not a generic booking plugin
• Works with any WordPress theme — Astra, Hello Elementor, GeneratePress, OceanWP, Kadence, Twenty Twenty-Four, Twenty Twenty-Five, and most block themes
• No-code admin — modern React-based dashboards; no developer required
• Speaks your members’ language out of the box — ready-made translations for Italian, German, French, Dutch, Polish, Spanish and Mexican Spanish, across the free plugin and every Pro add-on; switch your site language and the whole suite follows, with no translation work at all
• Lightweight & fast — optimized for site performance, minimal frontend asset load
• GDPR-friendly — member data stays on your site, nothing sent to third parties unless you opt in
• Theme-overridable templates — override any frontend template by placing a file in your-theme/gym-builder/

🚀 Pro Add-ons & Themes

Everything above is free. When you are ready to take money, track who turns up, or build pages faster, each add-on plugs straight into the classes, plans and members you have already set up — install only the ones you need, or take the whole Pro Bundle. Every add-on below ships the same seven ready-made languages as the free plugin, so adding one never leaves an English patch in a translated site.

🤖 Pro Add-ons — Running the Studio

🤖 GB AI Agent
Run the gym by chatting. Ask it to create a trainer, add a class with its weekly timetable, build a membership package and its class-access rules, enrol or deactivate a member, or free up seats — it checks capacity against the real schedule before it books anything. It configures Stripe for you (keys, billing intervals, prices, and the push to Stripe), assembles a draft Elementor page from section presets or imports a niche template, and pulls reports on the fly: today’s classes, members, expiring memberships, overdue payments, revenue, attendance, personal sessions and workout engagement — exportable as PDF, Word or Excel. It also emails members for you (renewal reminders, or a nudge to the ones who stopped logging workouts), sends you a weekly digest, and answers „how do I…” questions from the family’s own documentation with the exact admin path. Anything destructive asks for confirmation first, nothing changes until you approve it, and every action it takes is listed in an activity log.

Needs WordPress 7.0 or newer — it is built on the WordPress Abilities API and AI Client — plus an AI provider plugin (OpenAI, Anthropic or Google) with your own API key under Settings → AI.

💰 Pro Add-ons — Getting Paid

💳 GB Stripe Payments
Stripe Checkout for your membership packages. Five billing intervals — monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, yearly and one-time — with the buyer choosing their class day and time at checkout and seat capacity checked before the payment goes through. Webhook automation activates the membership the moment payment clears, keeps member status in sync on renewal, failure and cancellation, supports several subscriptions per user, and clears stale states with a daily cron. Subscriptions admin screen with CSV export.

🏦 GB Offline & Manual Payments
Card is not how every studio gets paid. The customer picks „Bank transfer” or „Pay at the studio” at checkout, sees your payment instructions and a reference to quote, and their class place is held while they pay. The order waits in a queue in your admin; when the money arrives you approve it and the membership activates exactly as a card payment would. Covers plans bought from the pricing table, payments recorded by hand at reception, personal session bookings and registrations taken through the popup. Runs alongside GB Stripe Payments, so the same plan can be paid either way.

🎁 GB Promotions & Trials
Coupons, discount codes and free trials for your memberships. Percentage or fixed discounts with usage limits, expiry dates and per-plan targeting, plus an analytics dashboard showing redemptions, discount given, revenue driven and which member used which code. Gateway-neutral by design — Stripe today, with PayPal and Razorpay ready behind a documented interface.

📆 Pro Add-ons — Bookings & Attendance

🗓️ GB Personal Session
One-to-one private training alongside your group classes. Calendar-based slot management with bulk scheduling, a multi-step booking widget (trainer → date → time → details → pay), guest booking with no WordPress account needed, Stripe payment, twice-daily email reminders, refunds at a configurable percentage, trainer reviews with manual or automatic approval, Google Calendar sync, CSV export, and a full status workflow (pending → confirmed → completed, plus cancelled and no-show). Adds its own tabs to both the member and trainer dashboards.

📊 GB Attendance System
Check members in from the admin screen or let them check themselves in from their dashboard. Attendance Report gives you an overview across the studio and a drill-down per member, with a printable individual report.

📋 GB Registration Page Popup
An auto-shown registration overlay on any page, in three layouts, with a per-class scheduling launcher, profile photo upload, reCAPTCHA, and its own email settings. Paid registration runs through Stripe or Offline Payments.

📅 GB Zoom Integration
Run classes online. A per-slot Online / Offline toggle with Meeting ID, URL and password on each time slot, public class-type badges in your own wording and colours, and a Get Zoom Class Link button on the class page that emails the link on demand.

📈 GB Fitness Tracking
Trainers assign workouts from a template and exercise library, then follow weekly and monthly progress on charts. Body measurements (weight, body fat, muscle mass, waist, chest, hips, biceps, thigh, calf, neck, height, with BMI worked out for you), a daily quick log for water, calories, sleep and steps, a pinned coach feed, and two-way trainer ↔ member chat.

🎨 Pro Add-ons — Building Pages

🎟️ Gym Builder Block Tools
Nine Gutenberg blocks — Classes, Trainers, Class Routine, Slider, Countdown, Call to Action, Info Box, Wrapper and Advanced Heading — plus a Template Importer with six niche-ready templates (Yoga, Fitness, Gym, Boxing, Karate, Swimming) that land as a draft page in one click.

🧩 GB Elementor Widgets
Fourteen Elementor widgets covering every public surface: Hero, Class Card, Class Routine, Class Detail, Trainer Card, Trainer Profile, Trainer Reviews, Pricing Plan, Fitness Calculator, Member Login, Personal Session Booking, Countdown, Testimonial and Meter Ticker. They render the same markup as the matching Gutenberg blocks, so the two stay visually identical.

🖼️ Pre-built Templates
Browse a live catalogue of ready-made Elementor pages for Yoga, Fitness, Gym, Boxing, Karate and Swimming sites and import one as a draft page.

🏃 Yoga Theme
A block theme built to match Gym Builder out of the box.

🛒 Class Booking and Payment
A WooCommerce-based payment route that sends class purchases through Woo checkout. It replaces GB Stripe Payments rather than complementing it — run one or the other, not both.

🌐 Ready-made languages

Gym Builder ships already translated into seven languages. Nothing to buy, nothing to import, no translation plugin required:

• 🇮🇹 Italian (it_IT)
• 🇩🇪 German (de_DE)
• 🇫🇷 French (fr_FR)
• 🇳🇱 Dutch (nl_NL)
• 🇵🇱 Polish (pl_PL)
• 🇪🇸 Spanish (es_ES)
• 🇲🇽 Mexican Spanish (es_MX)

Set your site language under Settings → General → Site Language and Gym Builder switches with it — the admin screens, the settings tabs, the class and trainer archives with their filters, the member and trainer dashboards, the timetable, the registration forms, the fitness calculators and the emails. Every string is covered, including plurals, so „1 place left” and „3 places left” read correctly in each language. Mexican Spanish is a genuine second locale rather than a fallback to Spain, with its own wording (membresía, lugar, credencial) and number formatting. Polish uses all three of its plural forms, so „1 zajęcia”, „3 zajęcia” and „5 zajęć” each read correctly.

Every Pro add-on is translated into the same seven languages, so a studio does not end up with a French timetable and an English checkout. The Stripe subscription flow, the personal-session booking wizard, the offline-payment order screens, the attendance register, the fitness-tracking dashboard, the promotions and trial passes, the registration popup, the Zoom class links, the Elementor widget panel, the Gutenberg block inspectors and the AI assistant all follow the same site language. There is nothing to configure — install an add-on and it speaks whatever language the site already speaks.

Translating into a language we do not ship yet is just as easy. Every string uses WordPress’s standard internationalization functions (__(), _e(), _n(), esc_html__()) and each plugin ships a complete .pot template in its own languages/ folder, so you can translate with Poedit, Loco Translate, WPML or translate.wordpress.org. The React admin screens, the Elementor controls and the block editor inspectors are covered too, through WordPress’s script-translation system. Gym Builder is WPML-compatible, and if a language pack for your locale later appears on translate.wordpress.org, WordPress loads that ahead of the …
