Website Design for Gyms and Fitness Studios

Websites for independent gyms, 24/7 clubs, boxing gyms and group fitness studios that show this week's timetable, spell out every membership cost before anyone signs, and give a curious visitor an easy way to book a trial session.

What a gym website needs to answer

The Victorian Government's Better Health Channel tells people to shop around and visit several gyms before joining, and to check opening hours and timetables, how busy it gets when they'd train, exactly what the membership fee includes, whether there's a cooling-off period and whether a membership can go on hold. A site that answers those before the first visit saves your front desk having the same conversation every day.

  • A timetable that reads well on a phone

    Classes by day with the start time, length, coach and studio, and a filter by class type so someone after spin or boxing doesn't scroll through the whole week. If your gym software has an online timetable and class booking, as Clubworx does, we link it, or embed it where the software allows, so a change made at the desk shows up on the site. Otherwise the timetable is built into the page and updated whenever you email us.

  • Memberships with every cost added up

    Set out each option the way it's billed: the weekly or fortnightly direct debit, any joining or key-fob fee, the minimum term, the notice needed to cancel, and what's included, such as classes, 24/7 access or the crèche. Finish each one with the total minimum cost over the minimum term. It's the sum people comparing gyms want, and in WA the fitness code requires it to be published.

  • State fitness codes, where they apply

    WA, Queensland and the ACT each have a mandatory fitness industry code. WA's, mandatory since 1 July 2021, requires published pricing, a seven-day cooling-off period, an agreement summary at the start of each membership agreement and a 12-month cap on prepaid memberships. Queensland's requires a written statement of total fees before signing and a 48-hour cooling-off period. The ACT's, remade in January 2026, gives a seven-day cooling-off period on memberships of three months or more and caps prepaid memberships and fixed terms at 12 months. Your cooling-off and cancellation terms go on the memberships page in the words you've confirmed.

  • A trial form that says what happens next

    Keep the trial form short: name, mobile, preferred day and time, goal, and any injury the coaches should know about. Next to the button, say what the trial includes, whether a card is needed and whether it rolls into a paid membership. WA's Consumer Protection says offering trial sessions is fine, but lists a “one time only” membership offer after the first session as a high-pressure tactic; offers like that are only OK when widely and publicly advertised as limited-time. Nationally, a ban on subscription traps passed Parliament in July 2026 and starts on 1 July 2027.

  • The first visit, explained for beginners

    New members worry about walking onto the floor not knowing how anything works. Say what the first visit involves: pre-exercise screening, perhaps with the Adult Pre-Exercise Screening System developed by AUSactive, ESSA and Sports Medicine Australia; an equipment induction; and whether a program and later reviews are included or cost extra. Mention lockers, showers, towels and parking while you're there.

  • 24/7 access, staffed hours and safety

    For a 24-hour gym, list staffed hours separately from access hours, explain how members get in after dark, and say how the floor is supervised or monitored when nobody's at the desk. The Better Health Channel tells people to ask exactly that before joining a 24-hour gym, so the answer belongs on the website rather than in a sales chat.

  • Coaches, credentials and registration

    A profile for each coach: qualifications, current first aid and CPR, and the classes they take. The Better Health Channel tells people to look for exercise professionals with current registration with an industry association such as AUSactive, so show it if your coaches have it. If the gym is an AUSactive business member, say so too: AUSactive's online directory lists its registered professionals and member businesses, and its National Health and Fitness Industry Code of Practice applies voluntarily to members.

Timetables and sign-up forms we've built

We haven't built a site for a gym or fitness studio, and we won't pass another business off as one. The closest are a Brisbane dance school with a weekly class timetable and online enrolment, and a South Australian not-for-profit whose site takes a four-part online application, the same kind of step-by-step form a membership sign-up uses.

Home page of the Queensland Dance & Performing Arts website

Queensland Dance & Performing Arts

Community, creative & tourism · Thorneside, Brisbane's Bayside

A dance school in Thorneside, on Brisbane's Bayside, teaching ballet, contemporary and circus arts. Its 12 pages include a weekly class timetable, a page for each program, a filterable photo gallery, FAQs and an online enrolment form: the core of a group fitness studio's site, with classes in place of programs.

Home page of the Club One (SA) website

Club One (SA)

Community, creative & tourism · South Australia

A not-for-profit that returns gaming machine revenue to community clubs, sport and recreation groups in South Australia. Its seven-page site has a four-part online grant application, board profiles, a contact form and tap-to-call on every page. A trial booking or membership enquiry can be broken into steps the same way.

  • Payment. No deposit. We build your draft first, you ask for as many changes as you like, and you pay once you approve it. If you don't go ahead, you owe nothing.
  • GST. WebCraft Studio isn't registered for GST, so no GST is added.
  • Timing. Most sites are live within 5–10 days of us getting your words and photos; bigger sites (up to 8 pages) take 2–3 weeks.
  • Hosting. After launch, hosting is $30 a month: hosting, security monitoring, backups, email support and unlimited text and image changes on your existing pages. New pages or features are quoted first. No contract, cancel anytime.
  • Domain and email. We register your domain in your name (about $20 a year), connect it to your site and set up your business email.

Questions gym owners ask us

Can people join and pay online through the site?

Yes, in one of two ways. If your gym software has online sign-up with direct debit, such as Clubworx connected to Ezidebit, the Join button opens it with your memberships already set up. Or we build sign-up and payment into the site itself, quoted per job. Either way, the memberships page carries the full terms, including cooling-off and how to cancel, so people read them before they reach the form.

How does the timetable stay up to date?

If your software has a live schedule we can embed or link, changes made at the desk appear on the site straight away. If not, email us the change: updating the timetable on an existing page is a text change, covered by the $30 monthly hosting. A coach away for a fortnight or a public holiday timetable is one email.

Can teenagers sign up through the website?

That depends on your rules and your state. WA's fitness code requires a parent or guardian to sign and date the membership for anyone under 18, so a teen sign-up there needs a step for the parent's details and signature. Elsewhere, tell us the minimum age and conditions you set for under-18s, and the form and memberships page will match them. Consumer Protection's guide to WA's code (opens in a new tab) covers the rest of its membership rules.

Can our personal trainers have their own pages?

Yes. On the 8-page site, personal training gets a page with each trainer's profile, packs and prices, and a booking button for each of them. Contract trainers who run their own business often want a site of their own too, and our personal trainer page covers what that looks like.

Which package suits a gym?

A small studio with a handful of classes can fit on the one-page site at $399. Most gyms suit the 3-page site at $899: home and trial form, timetable and classes, and memberships. Clubs with a gym floor, several class types, personal training, kids' programs or more than one location are better on the 8-page site at $1,499; a site that size takes 2–3 weeks once we have your words and photos.
