SharkFit

SharkFit is a fitness platform for personal training and gym businesses, with a free logging app for individuals and tools for coaches and operators. Its clearest advantage is the option to publish native apps under a business’s own brand; its main drawback for buyers is custom per-gym pricing.

Overview

The product spans individual fitness tracking, client coaching and gym operations. That breadth makes it relevant to businesses that want member-facing apps alongside planning and management tools, rather than a standalone workout log. Individuals can use it without paying, but the business offering is the stronger proposition.

Key features

Individuals can record meals, calories, macros, workouts, body measurements and progress photos for free. This covers the essentials of keeping a personal training and nutrition history, but it should not be confused with the client-management features aimed at coaches.

Coaches can create workout and meal plans, manage clients, track progress, message them, and schedule sessions and check-ins. For a trainer coordinating ongoing client work, that brings planning and communication into the same platform. Gym operators also get member and coach management, QR attendance check-ins, announcements, community challenges, analytics and data export. Those operational features suit a gym managing a member community; they are more than an individual logger needs.

The white-label package supplies native iOS and Android apps published under the customer’s brand, including its logo, colors and domain. That is a substantial distinction for fitness businesses seeking a branded member experience, though the custom quote means they cannot assess the gym package against a fixed published price. Clients can download workouts for offline training, and the app syncs when they are back online.

SharkFit’s privacy policy describes gym-level data separation, coach access limited to assigned clients, and client access limited to their own data. It also names TLS-encrypted connections, JWT authentication and regular security audits among its measures. After a tenant subscription is cancelled, data is retained for 30 days before permanent deletion; early deletion can be requested. Razorpay handles payment processing, AWS file storage, and email providers transactional messages.

Pricing

Individual: free. The plan provides free meal and workout logging, making it the straightforward choice for individuals who want to track their own activity without a subscription. It does not describe the coaching and gym-management toolkit.

Business / gym: custom pricing, billed per gym. The quoted package includes branded member and coach apps, workout and nutrition plans, client management, scheduling, messaging, analytics and data export. Prospective customers can request a quote or book a demo. This structure fits operators evaluating a broader business platform, but is less convenient for anyone who needs a known monthly cost before engaging.

Platforms

SharkFit supports Android, iOS and web. Its white-label apps are native iOS and Android apps, while the business offering also includes a web dashboard. Offline workout downloads help clients train without a connection, with automatic syncing after they reconnect.

Who it's for

Personal trainers and online coaches can use the planning, client tracking, messaging and scheduling tools to coordinate service. Gyms and studios have member administration, attendance, announcements and analytics; fitness brands can use the white-label apps to put their own identity on the mobile experience. People interested only in personal tracking can start with the free individual plan.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Free individual meal and workout logging includes body measurements and progress photos, providing more than a basic workout record.
• Pros: Coaching and gym tools cover plans, client communication, scheduling, member management and QR attendance in one offering.
• Pros: Native branded apps and offline workout downloads support a business’s own mobile presence and clients training away from a connection.
• Cons: Gym pricing is quoted per gym, so buyers cannot compare the package using a fixed published rate.
• Cons: The free individual plan is for logging, not the business coaching and gym-management features.

Alternatives

For gym operators comparing management platforms, start with the Gym App Builder Software category. PushPress is worth considering if a free gym platform and its published payment-processing rates are a better fit: its free plan has no monthly fees, with card payments at 4.99% + .30 CC and ACH at 2.89% + .30 ACH. SharkFit is the stronger fit when branded native apps and its coaching and gym tools are the priority.

My PT Hub suits coaches who prefer a published entry price and a client-based plan; its Starter plan is $22.50 a month when paid monthly on an annual basis and includes 3 clients, 50 workouts and 50 nutrition plans. ABC Trainerize is another option for a coach starting small: its free Basic plan includes one coaching client, while SharkFit’s individual free tier is for personal logging.

GymKonex may suit buyers looking for a low-cost published gym plan, with a Starter plan at 149.99 XAF a year for one location, five staff accounts and 50 members. EGYM Branded Member App is an alternative for businesses focused on a branded member app. Exercise.com Websites offers custom packages by quote for businesses comparing tailored software.

FitBudd is a paid alternative for coaches wanting a published client-based price: Starter costs $15 a month for two clients, with an additional 4 USD per client per month above that limit. Funxtion FXMOBILE is another paid option for buyers comparing fitness content and API access.

Verdict

Choose SharkFit if you run a gym, studio, coaching business or fitness brand and want planning and management tools paired with native apps carrying your own branding. The combination is its main reason to choose it, while custom per-gym pricing is the main reason to look elsewhere if a predictable price is essential. For personal tracking alone, its free individual plan is a sensible place to start.
