Membership sites for gyms and fitness studios.

A membership site is a business you own: the content or community behind the login, the billing relationship, and the member list itself. We build membership platforms that handle tiers, recurring payments, gated content, and member profiles without a third-party platform taking a cut or setting the rules. Working remotely from our Providence, RI studio, we scope, prototype, and build for organizations across the US and Canada. Nobody joins a gym from a homepage slider. They join because the schedule was easy to read, the trial offer was clear, and signing up took less time than lacing a shoe. We build fitness and wellness websites that put the timetable, pricing, and first-visit details up front and connect sign-ups to the membership platform you already run. For gyms and studios, membership is the core product: monthly and annual plans, class-pack credits, freezes, family add-ons, waivers, and check-in at the door, with billing that retries failed cards and tells the front desk who is behind. Members book classes against the entitlements their plan includes.

Quick answer

A membership site for gyms and fitness studios puts content, tools, or community behind a login with tiers, recurring billing, gated access, and renewals that run themselves, on a platform you own rather than rent. GEO Marketing Group builds custom membership platforms starting around $10,000, typically $18,000, working remotely from Providence, RI.

Why gyms and fitness studios reach for this.

The schedule is a screenshot

A weekly image or a PDF timetable is unreadable on a phone and out of date by Tuesday, so prospects message the studio to ask what is on.

Pricing is hidden behind a contact form

People want the number before they visit. A form gate sends them to the studio down the road that publishes its memberships.

Sign-up jumps to a clunky portal

The site looks great, then drops people into an unstyled booking page on another domain, where a share of them quietly stop.

Membership site builds start from $10,000. Every project is quoted to its scope.

FAQ

Membership site builds for gyms and fitness studios: common questions.

Should I build a custom membership site or use a platform like Patreon or Kajabi?

Start on a platform if your offer is simple and you want to test demand. Build custom when the platform fee is material, when you need a member experience the platform cannot provide, or when owning the member list and the billing relationship matters to the value of your business.

How does recurring billing and renewal work?

Stripe Billing handles the subscription lifecycle: trials, monthly or annual plans, proration on upgrades, tax where required, and automatic retries with reminder emails when a card fails. Members update their own payment details from their account page.

Can I migrate existing members from another platform?

Usually, yes. We import member records and, where the old platform allows it, existing card details through a processor-to-processor migration so nobody has to re-enter payment information. Access levels are mapped to your new tiers before launch.
