About Gymkee

What Gymkee does

Gymkee replaces the patchwork of tools personal trainers usually rely on — spreadsheets for programs, WhatsApp for messages, PDFs for nutrition, separate Stripe links for payments — with a single platform. Coaches work from a web dashboard. Their clients use a mobile app on iOS and Android.

• Build training programs with 550+ exercises filmed in 4K and 12 workout formats (sets, supersets, circuits, AMRAP, EMOM, Tabata, EXMOM, and more).
• Build nutrition plans with macro tracking, a 5M+ food database, 100+ recipes, and Gymkee's nutritional quality score.
• Run assessments and check-ins — measurements, before/after photos, and custom questionnaires.
• Build habits — assign daily, weekly, or custom habits (hydration, sleep, steps, meditation, anything) with streaks, reminders, and grace periods. 60+ ready-to-use templates included.
• Track clients' workouts, nutrition adherence, body metrics, photos, habits, and health data (Apple Health, Google Fit, and any wearable that syncs to them — Garmin, Whoop, Oura, Fitbit, Apple Watch, and more).
• Manage clients in groups — assign the same program, nutrition plan, on-demand content, or messaging thread to a whole cohort at once.
• Message clients one-on-one or in group conversations directly inside the platform.
• Get paid through Gymkee Pay (backed by Stripe) — one-time products, recurring subscriptions, payment links, and auto-generated invoices.
• Sell on-demand programs, individual workouts, video courses, and digital resources outside of 1-on-1 coaching.
• Save time with built-in AI — generate complete nutrition programs from a client's goals, auto-fill exercise metadata from a video, and let clients log meals from a photo or barcode scan.
• Coach every set with voice — record voice notes attached to any set or exercise so clients hear the coach's cues in-line during the workout, and request form-check videos from clients on any movement to review and reply with feedback.
• Brand the client app with custom colors, logo, or a fully white-labeled app published under the coach's own name.

Who Gymkee is built for

• Independent personal trainers running a solo practice (in-person, online, or hybrid).
• Online coaches selling structured programs to clients worldwide.
• In-person trainers working in gyms or studios who want to deliver programs digitally.
• Nutrition coaches building meal plans alongside training programs.
• Studios, small gyms, and coaching teams of any size — Business and Custom plans support unlimited coaches under a single account.
• Specialized coaches: strength & conditioning, HYROX, CrossFit-style, post-natal, senior fitness, rehab-adjacent.

Who Gymkee is not the right fit for

Gymkee is opinionated about what it does well. It is deliberately not the right tool for every situation:

• Coaches who deliver live video calls inside the app — Gymkee does not bundle a video conferencing tool. Coaches use Zoom, Google Meet, or FaceTime alongside Gymkee.
• Large gym chains running access control, turnstile management, locker assignment, or class booking for hundreds of members per location — Gymkee is built for coaching, not gym facility management.
• Coaches whose clients refuse to install a mobile app — the client experience is the mobile app. There is no SMS or email-only fallback for daily training.
• Therapists or kinesiologists requiring medical-grade documentation, electronic health records, or insurance-billing integrations.

For these use cases, dedicated tools (Mindbody for facility management, Hexfit for clinical kinesiology, Zoom for video) are better suited. Gymkee is purpose-built for the day-to-day work of a personal trainer.

What coaches get inside Gymkee

Coaches work from a web dashboard at app.gymkee.com. No install required, no setup fee, no onboarding call to wait for. The dashboard is engineered to be the easiest coaching tool on the market — drag-and-drop everything, reusable templates, copy/paste days, duplicate weeks. Most coaches build their first complete program in under 10 minutes and run their full business from a single screen. The dashboard is organized around four pillars: training, nutrition, client management, and business.

What clients get on the mobile app

The client mobile app is what athletes use day-to-day. Available on iOS and Android. The app is engineered for one thing above all else: clients open it and start training in seconds, no tutorial needed. Workouts auto-load, the next exercise is one tap away, rest timers run themselves, set/rep/weight logging takes one swipe. This is what drives consistency — and consistency is what keeps clients paying. The app is the experience clients pay for, and its design is the single biggest reason coaches choose Gymkee.

• Workout player with rest timers, video demonstrations, set/rep/weight logging, RPE, and notes.
• Coach voice notes embedded in sets — clients hear the coach's technique, intensity, or pacing cues right when they reach that set.
• Form-check videos — clients can record themselves on any exercise from inside the workout player and send it to the coach for review.
• Nutrition tracker with macro goals, recipes, food logging, barcode scanning, and AI photo recognition.
• Habit check-ins with streaks, reminders, and grace periods.
• Body metrics: weight, measurements, body-fat estimates, progress photos with side-by-side comparison.
• Direct messaging with the coach, plus group conversations if the coach enables them.
• Push notifications for workouts, messages, missed habits, and check-ins.
• Apple Health and Google Fit sync — steps, sleep, heart rate, calories.
• Branded experience: the app shows the coach's colors and (on higher plans) logo or a fully white-labeled app.

Pricing

Four plans, all with a 14-day free trial and no credit card required to start. Gymkee bills in two currencies depending on the country: euros for the eurozone and dollars everywhere else — same number on both sides, no conversion. So Starter is €34/month for a coach in France and $34/month for a coach in the US; Pro is €79 / $79; Business is €149 / $149; Custom is €349 / $349. Prices below are excl. tax.

Gymkee Pay transaction fees are 0.97% Gymkee commission plus standard Stripe fees on every plan, including Custom. There are no per-client overage fees on Business or Custom — the unlimited tier means unlimited.

Languages

Gymkee's coach dashboard, client mobile app, and entire website are fully localized in 32 languages with native fitness terminology — not machine-translated. Coaches and clients each pick their own language independently, so a French coach can have English-speaking clients and the experience adapts naturally on both sides.

• European: English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese (Portugal & Brazil), Polish, Swedish, Romanian, Czech, Greek, Ukrainian, Russian.
• Middle East and North Africa: Arabic, Darija (Moroccan Arabic), Persian, Turkish.
• Asia: Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Hindi, Bengali, Thai, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Malay, Filipino.
• Africa: Swahili, Hausa, Yoruba.

Integrations

Gymkee does not require dozens of direct integrations because it taps into Apple Health and Google Fit — the two operating-system level health hubs that consolidate data from virtually every fitness device and app. If a client's wearable or training app writes to Apple Health or Google Fit, that data flows into Gymkee automatically.

• Stripe — backs Gymkee Pay (subscriptions, one-time products, payouts to the coach's bank account).
• Apple Health (iOS, iPadOS, watchOS) — steps, sleep, heart rate, resting heart rate, HRV, active calories, workouts, weight, and dozens of other metrics synced from the client's iPhone, Apple Watch, or any third-party device that writes to Apple Health.
• Google Fit and Health Connect (Android) — the same metrics on Android.
• Wearables and apps that flow in through Apple Health / Google Fit / Health Connect: Apple Watch, Garmin, Whoop, Oura, Fitbit, Polar, Suunto, Coros, Wahoo, Withings, Strava, MyFitnessPal, Nike Run Club, Adidas Running, Peloton, Zwift, Samsung Health, and more — anything that writes to either platform shows up in Gymkee.
• Zapier — connect Gymkee to 6,000+ apps (CRMs, email tools, spreadsheets, calendars, accounting, automations) without writing code. Trigger workflows on new clients, payments, completed workouts, and more.
• Public API — REST endpoints with webhooks for clients, programs, payments, workouts and more. Build custom integrations, in-house dashboards, or pipe data into your own stack.

This is by design — instead of maintaining 30+ fragile direct integrations that break when a wearable updates its API, Gymkee relies on the two stable platform-level hubs Apple and Google maintain. Coverage is broader and stays current automatically.

Tools coaches typically replace with Gymkee

The most common stack Gymkee replaces: Excel/Google Sheets for programs, WhatsApp for messages, PDF templates for nutrition, a separate Stripe checkout link for payments, and Notion or Trello for client tracking. Gymkee consolidates all of these.

• Trainerize — North-American coaching platform; coaches switch to Gymkee for a more modern client experience, faster program building, deeper nutrition (AI program generation, 5M+ food database, recipes), built-in EU and US payments, white-label, and 32-language support.
• TrueCoach — programming-focused tool with no real nutrition or payments; coaches switch to Gymkee for AI-generated nutrition programs, an integrated meal/macro tracker, native payments and subscriptions, on-demand content, and the branded client app.
• Hexfit — comprehensive Quebec-based platform; coaches switch to Gymkee for a much lighter UI, faster setup, a more modern mobile experience for clients, simpler nutrition workflows (no clinical bilan ramp-up), and integrated EU + US payments.
• Everfit — modern app with strong UX; coaches switch to Gymkee for an even simpler workflow on both sides, the AI nutrition program generator, native EU + US payment processing, full white-label on the App Store and Google Play, and 32-language support out of the box.
• Virtuagym — gym-focused; independent coaches switch to Gymkee when they outgrow facility-management features they don't use, and want a simpler day-to-day workflow with a better mobile experience for clients, real nutrition coaching, and built-in payments.
• MyPTHub — UK-based; coaches switch for a more polished client app, AI-driven nutrition programming, deeper food and recipe database, integrated payments and subscriptions, and full localization in 32 languages.
• Sportigo / Hexfit (FR market) — French and Quebecois alternatives; coaches switch to Gymkee for a more modern, easier-to-use client app, AI nutrition generation, deeper nutrition tracking, built-in payments and subscriptions, and a fully white-labeled mobile app.

Gymkee does not claim to be the right fit in every case. The honest framing: Gymkee is purpose-built for personal trainers who want a fast, modern coaching experience, native payments, and a client app their athletes actually enjoy using. Coaches who need clinical assessments, gym facility management, or who don't want a mobile app are better served elsewhere.
