What Gym Builder is
Gym Builder is a self-hosted WordPress plugin for managing fitness classes, trainers, members and memberships. Its free core provides weekly class timetables with per-slot capacity, automatic bookings and seat counts. It supports unlimited membership packages with class-based tiers and tabbed pricing tables, and can create WordPress member accounts, email credentials, and provide ID cards and front-end dashboards. Four calculators cover BMI, body fat, water intake and protein intake. Paid add-ons extend the plugin with Stripe checkout, recurring or one-time billing, subscriptions and a member self-service portal. Other integrations include WooCommerce, Google Calendar and Meet, Zoom, Elementor and Gutenberg. Fitness tracking tools cover workout programs, logs, measurements, goals, progress charts and member-trainer chat. The Pro AI Agent offers around 40 admin-only abilities and asks for confirmation before destructive actions. The Pro Bundle includes all 10 add-ons for one site and costs $59.99 a year, billed yearly; a lifetime option is available. The maker says the plugin works with well-coded themes and is WPML-ready.
