How to make an app for a fitness studio

A studio is run by the timetable: the 7 AM HIIT class has 12 spots, three members have 2 classes left on their pack, and everyone wants to know today's workout. An app lets members book a spot, counts down packs, shows the workout of the day and keeps each member's lift records.

Updated 2026-11-09

Who uses the app

Members book classes from their own phones, so connect your own Supabase database with sign-in; coaches mark attendance and post the workout. Connect your Razorpay account if members buy packs in the app.

The screens a fitness studio app needs

Timetable: This week's classes with coach, spots left and a book button
My bookings: For members: booked classes, classes left on the pack and its expiry date
Workout of the day: Today's warm-up, main lift and finisher, posted by the coach
Attendance: For coaches: who booked, who came, and walk-ins added
Records: Each member's heaviest lifts and fastest workout times with dates
Plans and payments: Packs and monthly plans to buy, with payments made

Features worth asking for

Booking closes when a class reaches its limit, with a waitlist for the next spot
Class packs counted down when a member attends, with expiry shown
A cancel button that works only up to a cut-off you set, such as 2 hours before
Members' heaviest lifts and workout times saved, so they can see progress
A reminder on the member's phone before a booked class, in the installed app
Buy a pack in the app through your own Razorpay account

Where the data lives

Because members book from their own phones, connect your own Supabase database with sign-in for members and coaches. To sell packs in the app, connect your Razorpay account too; the money goes to your account.

How to make it with AppCub, step by step

Decide what the app does. List the screens you need, for example: Timetable, My bookings, Workout of the day, Attendance, Records.
Describe it to AppCub. Paste the request below, changed to your own business and details.
Check the plan. AppCub shows the screens and features it will build. Change them in the chat until they are right; seeing the plan is free.
Try it on your phone. The app runs live next to the chat. Scan the QR code to install it, and ask for changes.
Share it. Share it as a web link, an APK file, or publish it on Google Play from your own developer account.

Copy this request, change the details to match your fitness studio, and paste it into AppCub:

Tips for a fitness studio app

Start from AppCub's ready-made gym app only if you sell memberships; for a class-based studio, describe the timetable and packs from the start.
Agree on your cancellation and no-show rule before building, so the app counts a missed class the way you do.
Let coaches post the workout of the day the night before; members like to know what is coming.
Test booking with two phones to see the class fill up and the waitlist work.
Keep members' health notes, such as a back injury, visible only to coaches.

Good to know

AppCub doesn't connect to heart rate straps, fitness watches, rowers' screens or door locks. Reminders come from each member's own phone at a set time; messages from coach to members' phones would need a push service you set up.
AppCub builds Android apps. You can also share the app as a web link that opens on any phone; for the iPhone App Store, AppCub’s team can do it for you.

Questions

Can members book a spot in a class from their phone?

Yes, with your own Supabase database. They see spots left, book, and the class closes when it is full.

Can the app count down a 12-class pack?

Yes. Each attended class lowers the count, and the member sees classes left and the expiry date.

Can coaches post a workout of the day?

Yes. A coach adds the day's workout, and members see it in the app.

Can members record their heaviest lifts?

Yes. Each member can save lifts and workout times with dates and see their own progress.

Can the app put members on a waitlist?

Yes. When a class is full, members join a waitlist, and the first one moves into a spot that opens.

Can the app connect to members' fitness watches?

No. Members type their results; AppCub doesn't connect to watches or heart rate straps.
