Custom gym and studio apps for operators who have outgrown a white label member app. Booking, memberships, check in and retention, built in Flutter for iOS and Android, published under your own developer account, on a fixed price agreed after discovery.
30 minutes, no preparation needed. If your current platform still fits, we will say so.
Gym app development means building the member facing app your gym actually owns, rather than renting a branded shell from your management software. Apps Value builds these in Flutter from Kraków, on a fixed price, with the source code and the App Store listing in your company's name.
Every gym management platform ships a branded member app, and for a single location it is usually the right call. These are the four points where operators start doing arithmetic instead.
Per member pricing means the platform takes a share of your growth. Once headcount is in the thousands, the annual line stops looking like software and starts looking like rent, and the number only moves in one direction.
Ask whose name is on the App Store listing and who holds the developer account. If it is the vendor, the app is not an asset you own, it is a feature you rent, and it leaves when the contract does.
Marketplace style platforms put your members in a shared consumer app where other studios are one search away, and some charge a fee on members they claim to have introduced. That is a real cost with your brand attached to it.
Credit packs that work one way, a hybrid membership, a partner corporate scheme, a second location with different rules. When the front desk keeps a spreadsheet to make the platform work, the platform stopped fitting a while ago.
A branded app you rent disappears with the contract. An app you own is still yours the day you switch platforms.
What a member opens on the way to the gym: today's classes with live capacity, one tap booking, their membership and what it entitles them to, check in at the door, and their history. Fast enough that it beats calling the desk, which is the only bar that matters.
Retention lives here too. Push at the right moment, a waitlist that actually promotes people, and a booking flow short enough that a member does not give up and go to a class somewhere else.
Someone has to move a class, cover a trainer who called in sick, comp a session, and fix a booking made by mistake. A first release does not need a full management platform, but it does need enough for the desk to solve problems without calling us.
If you are keeping your existing management software as the system of record, this side gets smaller and the integration gets more important. We check what its API allows before scoping anything, because that decides what is possible.
A class booking app fits on a napkin. These are the details that decide whether members trust it after week three.
Twenty spots, twenty booked, four members on the waitlist.
One member cancels. A spot opens forty minutes before the class starts.
First on the list is offered the spot and has a set window to accept before it moves on.
No window, no notification, no fallback. The class runs one short and four members stop checking.
The fastest way to waste a gym app budget is to rebuild your management software. Here is roughly where we draw the line on a first release.
Not sure whether you need a custom app or a better configured platform? Bring your current bill and your member count to the call. If the arithmetic does not support building, we will tell you that.
Book an intro callEvesport is a booking product connecting trainers with the people who train with them: live availability, session booking, trainer rosters and pricing, cancellations and reschedules handled in the app rather than by phone. It is live on both stores and we took it from kickoff to launch on a fixed price.
It is not a gym platform and we will not pretend otherwise. What it proves is the part that carries most of the risk in a gym app: a booking flow two sides trust, running against a real calendar with real money attached. The trainer side of that work is described on our fitness app development page.
If your management software covers your schedule, your billing and your member app, and the bill is not painful, keep it. A custom build is a worse trade at that size and we will say so on the call rather than after the quote.
Scheduling, billing, payroll and reporting are solved problems and rebuilding them from scratch is a bad trade. The build that pays is the member facing app plus the layer carrying your own rules, sitting on top of what you keep.
An app improves retention and the experience of members you already have. It does not fill classes on its own, and any supplier who tells you it will is selling something.
Fixed price needs one person who can settle a rule about credit packs or cancellations within a day. Without that, the scope moves, and moving scope is what turns a fixed price into an argument.
Your memberships, credit packs, cancellation and no show policy, what happens at the door, and what your current platform's API allows. These decide the shape of the project far more than the screens do.
The audit becomes a document in plain language with the rules written down, then one number for the whole scope agreed before anyone writes code. How that model works is on fixed price app development, and the scoping step itself is our discovery workshop.
Working software every two weeks, tested on real devices. Where the weeks actually go is set out in our app development timeline.
Before the whole membership gets it, the app goes to one group on real bookings. What they change in that week is worth more than a month of review at the desk.
Your company name on both stores, your developer accounts, your source code. What the stores require from you is listed in app publishing requirements, and it is the one task that runs on someone else's clock, so we start it in week one.
Thirty minutes. We will tell you whether a custom app pays at your size, what version one should contain, and what your current platform would have to allow. If it does not add up yet, you will hear that instead of a quote.
