How do you build a booking system for fitness clubs?

You need a scheduling system, subscription logic, payment integration, and an interface that works for both staff and customers.

Can different types of memberships be supported?

Yes. A system like this can support one-time visits, time-based memberships, and packages with a fixed number of sessions.

How are subscription pauses handled?

Subscriptions can be paused and set to resume automatically after a defined period, based on business rules.

What technologies are used for this type of platform?

Typical solutions include a web frontend, mobile apps, a backend with payment integrations, and cloud hosting.

Who is this platform suitable for?

It is designed for gyms, fitness studios, and personal trainers who want to manage bookings and payments online.

How long does it take to build a platform like AppyBee?

A focused MVP can take a few months. A full booking & payments management platform takes longer. Timelines depend on feature depth and expected traffic.

AppyBee – Fitness Club Booking and Payment Management Platform

AppyBee – a platform that helps gym owners and personal trainers manage class bookings and customer payments. Its core logic is a single workflow where member actions (booking, paying, or checking in) trigger automatic business processes.

We started building AppyBee from scratch in 2017. Today, 300+ fitness centers and trainers use the platform across web and mobile apps. The system reduces manual admin work and helps clubs keep members active through consistent booking and payment flows.

Flexible Booking

Clubs can publish class schedules and let members book and pay online. Customers use a web interface or branded mobile app to view calendars, book sessions, and manage their plans.

Supported booking types include:

One-time visits
Time-based memberships
Packages with a fixed number of sessions

Subscription Logic

AppyBee supports different access models, including recurring memberships, prepaid class packs (strip cards), and trial sessions.

Members can pause their subscription. The system can automatically reactivate it after a set period, based on the club’s rules.

Booking Widget for Fitness Websites

Gyms can add an AppyBee widget to their existing website. This allows members to register, book classes, and manage subscriptions without rebuilding the whole site.

Integrated Local Payments

The platform handles online payments and invoicing. It supports Dutch and European methods including iDEAL, Bancontact, SEPA direct debit, and major cards. Owners can track payment status and export financial data for accounting.
