SharkFit

Overview

SharkFit combines personal fitness tracking with tools for coaching and gym operations. It is most compelling for gyms, studios, and coaches that want their own branded mobile apps; individuals get free logging, while businesses must request custom pricing.

Key features

Individuals can record meals, calories, macros, workouts, body measurements, and progress photos for free. That makes SharkFit a useful no-cost logging option, but its broader appeal lies in the tools for the professionals and businesses supporting those users.

Coaches can create workout and meal plans, manage clients, track progress, message clients, and schedule sessions and check-ins. Gym operators can also manage members and coaches, take attendance with QR check-ins, send announcements, run community challenges, and use business analytics. This breadth suits businesses combining client coaching with member operations; it may be more than an individual tracker needs.

SharkFit’s white-label offering provides native iOS and Android apps published under a customer’s brand, including its logo, colors, and domain. That is a meaningful advantage for a business seeking a branded customer experience, although the per-gym quote means buyers cannot assess a fixed subscription cost upfront. Clients can download workouts for offline training, with the app syncing when they reconnect.

SharkFit supports booking and in-app payments, and names Razorpay for payment processing, AWS for file storage, and email providers for transactional messages. Its privacy policy describes gym-level data separation, limits coaches to their assigned clients, and gives clients access only to their own data. It also cites TLS encryption, JWT authentication, and regular security audits. After a tenant subscription ends, data is retained for 30 days before permanent deletion; earlier deletion can be requested.

Pricing

Individual: free. The plan covers free meal and workout logging for individuals, making it appropriate for people who want to track their own activity without paying. It does not provide the coaching and gym management tools described for business customers.

Business / gym: custom pricing, quoted per gym. The package includes branded member and coach apps, workout and nutrition plans, client management, scheduling, messaging, analytics, and data export. It fits businesses that need those operational tools and branded apps, but requires a quote or demo rather than allowing a buyer to compare a published rate.

Platforms

SharkFit supports Android, iOS, and web. Its white-label apps are native iOS and Android apps, while the product also includes a web dashboard. Offline workout downloads are useful when clients train without a connection, though syncing waits until they are back online.

Who it's for

Personal trainers and online coaches can use SharkFit to plan training and nutrition, coordinate clients, and follow progress. Gyms and studios get member administration, attendance, announcements, challenges, and analytics in addition to coaching tools. Fitness brands and programs are a fit when branded apps are central to the customer experience. Individuals seeking only a personal log can use the free plan, but have less reason to choose it for the business-focused capabilities.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Free individual meal and workout logging includes calories, macros, measurements, and progress photos, providing a broad personal record at no cost.
• Pro: Coaches and gym operators can handle plans, client communication, scheduling, attendance, and analytics within one platform.
• Pro: Native white-label apps carry the customer’s branding, and clients can download workouts for offline use.
• Con: Business pricing is custom and quoted per gym, so the cost is not straightforward to compare before requesting a quote or booking a demo.
• Con: The free individual plan is limited to logging; the business and coaching workflows are part of the quoted offering.

Alternatives

Verdict

Choose SharkFit if you run a gym, studio, coaching business, or fitness brand and want coaching and operating tools alongside native apps under your own identity. Its strongest reason to buy is the combination of white-label apps with client and gym workflows; its main drawback is that business pricing requires a per-gym quote. Individuals who only need free logging can use it without taking on that business package, while buyers who need a fixed business price should compare alternatives with published rates.
