Your gym website

Every gym on FitManager gets a public website, built from the data you already keep in the dashboard: your plans, your timetable, your locations and opening hours, your blog. There is nothing to install or host. You decide what it says and how it looks; FitManager keeps it running.

Before you start#

• Your plan needs the website. Without it, your website address sends visitors straight to the member login instead.
• Only staff who can manage settings (owners, and employees with the Manage settings permission) can change the website.

Find your website address#

Open the workspace menu at the top of the sidebar (the card with your gym and location name) and choose Preview website. The site opens in a new tab exactly as a visitor sees it. The Website & app page also has an Open website button at the top.

The address depends on how the platform serves gym websites, and uses your gym's slug (shown under Slug in Settings, Gym settings):

You do not choose between path and subdomain: the platform decides that for every gym, and links in emails and the portal always follow it.

What is on the site#

The header also links to Member Login (the member portal) and the footer to Staff Login, so your team can sign in from the gym's own address. Every site also serves its own sitemap.xml, robots.txt and web app manifest, so search engines and phones pick it up without any work from you.

A few pages appear only when your plan includes the matching feature:

If online payments are not set up, the Membership page still lists your plans and tells visitors that plans can be bought at the front desk.

How a visitor joins online#

With online payments switched on, a visitor can become a member without coming to the desk:

1. On your website, the visitor opens Membership in the menu.
2. If you have more than one location, they pick one under Location, then tap Choose duration under a plan and pick a duration.
3. On Checkout they enter Your email (required) and Your name. Someone who is already a member also enters their Member code, so the plan lands on their existing profile. Someone else buys the plan as a gift.
4. They tap Continue to payment and pay on the payment page.
5. Payment successful confirms the plan. A new member can set a password right there under Create your account and go straight to the member portal.

On the gym's website, open Membership in the menu.

Pick a plan and click the button under it to see its durations.

Click a duration to go to checkout.

Enter your email. The receipt and the login for the member portal go there.

Add your name. If you are already a member, also enter your member code.

Click Continue to payment.

Enter your card on the payment page and confirm. This demo uses a test gateway, so nothing is charged.

Payment successful. You are now a member and can set a password for the member portal below.

That is everything. You can replay it any time.

Where to change things#

Changes on Website & app apply when you click Save Changes at the bottom of the page. Section order, section switches and the theme save the moment you click them.

Common questions#

Can I build my own website instead?#

Yes. Keep your existing site and pull your timetable, plans and forms into it with the Website API, or link to the FitManager pages you want.

The Classes page is empty#

The timetable shows public classes of one location at a time. Check that your classes are marked public and that visitors picked the right location at the top of the page.

My plan does not include the website. What do members see?#

Your address opens the member login. Website & app shows a note that your plan has no public website; the contact details, social links and app settings on that page still apply to the member portal and the app page.
