GymNet Fitness

What GymNet Fitness does

GymNet Fitness is a U.S.-domiciled two-sided online marketplace, incorporated as GymNet Fitness, LLC in Georgia and headquartered at 794 Ralph McGill Boulevard NE in Atlanta, that connects individual fitness consumers with verified personal trainers, studio instructors, and group fitness providers across 20+ American cities including Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, Phoenix, and Tampa. The platform is built on Sharetribe, an off-the-shelf marketplace framework, and is delivered through a website (gymnet-fitness.com) plus iOS and Android applications. Core functionality includes trainer discovery, profile and certification display (NASM, ACE, ISSA, ACSM), identity and background-check verification of listed professionals, session booking, and payment processing. Trainers self-onboard through dedicated booking pages (described as creatable in under 20 minutes), set their own hourly rates ranging from $20 to $220, and offer multi-session packs and occasional monthly subscription bundles.

The company monetizes via transaction/booking fees charged to trainers on each session booked, with consumer pricing being fully pay-as-you-go and free of membership commitments. Demand-side customer segments are horizontal: individual fitness consumers (from beginners to athletes) seeking one-on-one training, group classes, sport-specific coaching, postpartum or adaptive fitness, or virtual sessions, and supply-side customers are certified fitness professionals seeking client acquisition, scheduling automation, and online presence. Marketing is concentrated in city-specific SEO landing pages, organic search, email via Mailchimp, and trainer-recruitment partnerships, with remarketing through Google Ads and Facebook. The operational footprint remains small (1-10 employees), no external funding rounds have been disclosed, and reported scale metrics include 80+ listed professionals, a 5.0-star average review, and a stated 50+ hours of completed sessions platform-wide, indicating a company at a very early stage of marketplace development.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Life Time Fitness: Large national fitness chain offering personal training as a core service within membership-based clubs. Represents the legacy gym model that GymNet's no-membership marketplace explicitly positions against, and a potential acquirer of trainer-supply-side scale.
• Mindbody: Large incumbent wellness business management and consumer marketplace platform (acquired by Vista Equity). Powers booking for thousands of fitness studios and trainers, offering both consumer-facing discovery and B2B SaaS — a much broader but directly overlapping competitor.
• Equinox: Premium fitness brand with personal training as a high-margin service line. Competes for the high-end trainer and consumer segment (where GymNet's $150-$220/hour trainers also operate), and exemplifies the membership-based incumbent model.
• Peloton: Connected fitness platform with a large virtual personal training component (Peloton App One, Peloton Guide). Represents the broader incumbent response to on-demand fitness, competing for the same consumer wallet share via a different delivery model.

Emerging players

• Wellable: Corporate wellness platform that connects employees to fitness and wellness providers, including personal trainers. Adjacent marketplace model with overlapping trainer supply but a B2B distribution angle.

Direct peers

• Trainerize: Personal trainer SaaS platform enabling trainers to manage clients, deliver programs, and sell sessions. Overlaps with GymNet on the trainer-side supply acquisition story and virtual training delivery, though Trainerize is more of a coach tool than a consumer marketplace.
• ClassPass: Direct marketplace competitor connecting users to fitness studios, classes, and personal training across multiple cities. Operates on a credit/subscription model with broad category coverage, making it the closest functional peer to GymNet's marketplace model.
• TrueCoach: Personal training client management and programming platform with built-in billing and messaging. Competes for the same trainer supply that GymNet needs to recruit, and increasingly offers consumer-facing booking flows that overlap with GymNet's marketplace.
