FitBudd

How many of your gym members are actively enrolled with your in-house personal trainers? In most gyms, only 10–20% ever do. Many end up using third-party fitness apps or paying online trainers outside the gym.

That is significant revenue quietly leaving your business every month.

FitBudd can change this and more. FitBudd helps you launch your own gym app in minutes, placing your brand, your trainers, and your services firmly in front of your clients. Instead of sending members elsewhere, you give them a simple way to train, track progress, book sessions, and stay connected through your gym’s own digital experience.

Inside the app, your trainers can easily deliver personalized workout and nutrition plans. Class schedules and bookings stay organized and synced with your existing systems, removing friction from daily operations. Progress remains visible over time, helping trainers keep members on track, engaged, and motivated. Communication continues naturally through in-app chat and video calls, even outside gym hours.

From discovery in the App Store and Play Store to daily use, everything leads back to your gym.

Recovery Touchscreen

The US wellness economy has surged to $2 trillion, and Fitness On Demand’s new Recovery Touchscreen gives gym operators a plug-and-play way to capitalize on that growth.

This self-service solution elevates revenue, retention, and your member experience without adding staff or operational complexity. With a single device, you can transform any underutilized space or corner of your gym into a fully guided recovery zone in minutes. This lets you offer 24/7, instructor-led sessions that support mobility, stretching, and warm-up or cooldown routines across all training styles.

The Recovery Touchscreen features an extensive library of content modalities including mobility, yoga, core, and more.

“We’re producing a lot of content that is pre-compound movements,” said Andy Peat, CEO of Fitness On Demand. “What do I do before a deadlift? Before a squat that enhances the movement? And then, of course, there’s the after-workout experience, 10 minutes for hips or lower back.”

This versatile Recovery Touchscreen works as a standalone device, or as a part of Fitness On Demand’s broader suite of engagement, retention, and back-office tools designed to give you a single, powerful platform to elevate your member journey and drive long-term loyalty.
