They know what to do
Today
A new member walks in, uses the two machines they recognise, and leaves unsure it did anything.
With an AI coach
They open today’s workout: each exercise, the sets and reps, the weight to try and how long to rest.
AI coach for gyms
Every member knows what to do on your gym floor.
You run a gym or a club. An AI coach from Budy gives every member a workout plan built around the machines and weights on your floor, a coach who answers between visits, and a reason to keep coming back. You build no AI.

What changes for your members
It fits your floor
Today
A generic app sends them looking for machines you don’t have.
With an AI coach
Their plan is built around the machines and weights at their branch, with another exercise ready when a station is taken.
They have a reason to come back
Today
Motivation fades in the first weeks, and a trainer for every member would cost more than they pay you.
With an AI coach
The plan builds week on week and changes when they ask, and a coach answers their questions between visits.
This coach already keeps people training.
Your members get the same AI that runs the Budy app on iPhone, Apple Watch and Android, built around what keeps people coming back. The stories below are from Budy’s own members.
- Bad weeks stop ending the streak.
- Short on time, stuck at home or short on sleep? The session changes to fit, and the habit survives the week.
- Starting takes one tap.
- Your next workout is planned before you open the app. No deciding, no searching, no talking yourself out of it.
- You can see it working.
- Finished weeks, heavier lifts and new records show up as you go, and that is what keeps people coming back.

Hanz
Wanted to lose weight, but working out what to do at the gym kept getting in the way.
The longest gym streak so far. Knowing what to do next made the routine easier to follow.

Elina
Started with significant back pain that made sitting and walking uncomfortable.
Able to move more freely.
7 months in
Melona
Wanted to build muscle and couldn’t find a plan that felt right.
Much more confident about training.

Three ways to bring it to your gym
Start from what you have today. We do everything, with your team or your app vendor.
Gym partner program
Nothing to build.
Members scan a QR code at your front desk and train in the Budy app, on a plan built around the equipment at their branch. You see how each branch is training.
- Equipment mapped branch by branch
- Active members, completion and retention by branch
Branded app
Your gym’s name in the app stores.
Budy designs and builds an iPhone and Android app for your gym, on the App Store and Google Play. Members see your brand and your coach’s name, not Budy’s.
- Built by the team that ships Budy
- Your exercises, your rules, your coach
API in the app you have
Your app vendor adds it.
Already have a member app? Your team or your app vendor connects it to Budy’s API, and workouts, meals and a coach appear in your own screens.
- A REST API with public docs
- Test keys to build with before launch
What your members get
Start with workouts and add the rest when you are ready.
A plan of their own
A multi-week workout plan from each member’s goal, training days, session length and limits, built around your equipment.
Today’s workout, step by step
Sets, reps, weight and rest for every exercise, with a swap when a machine is busy. A coach’s voice can talk them through it, so the phone stays in a pocket.
A coach who answers
A chat that knows the member’s plan and training. It suggests changes and waits for their yes before anything moves.
Meals without the guessing
A daily meal plan around the member’s targets and tastes, with a recipe for every meal and calories from a meal photo.
Blood tests and supplements that make sense
A monthly supplement assessment with safety checks, and biological age from a blood test report.
Progress they can see
Body scan sheets are read for muscle and fat, and progress photos become a short summary that their plan and their coach can use.
Your floor. Your rules. Your coach.
The AI should train people the way your gym does. With a branded app or the API, you set this up yourself in the partner console.
- Your equipment
- Each branch’s machines and weights are mapped, or named from photos of the room, so plans are built around what is really there.
- Your exercises and videos
- Use your own exercise library and videos. Want a ready library? Budy’s 4,800+ exercises are available for a small monthly fee, with names and equipment. Videos stay yours to add.
- Your coaching rules
- Write rules in plain words, like “Beginners start on machines before free weights.” Try them on a sample member before they reach anyone.
- Your coach
- Give the coach a name and a tone. For voice-guided workouts, choose one of Budy’s coach voices or use your own trainer’s voice, with their consent. Voices are set up through the API.
- Your tiers and limits
- Match your memberships: you decide how many plans, meal ideas and coach chats each tier includes.
With the gym partner program, members use the Budy app: Budy maps your equipment and you see your numbers branch by branch.
Where your members’ data lives, and what you pay
Your members’ data
- Stored in the EU
- Member data is stored with AWS in Frankfurt. AI requests go to the AI provider, which can process them outside the EU.
- Kept apart
- Each partner has its own live database and its own test database. A test key can never reach a live member.
- Not used for training
- Budy does not use your members’ data to train AI models, and it never reaches another partner or the Budy app.
- Export and erase
- One API call exports everything held on a member. Another erases it.
These cover a branded app and the API. With the gym partner program, members use the Budy app under Budy’s privacy policy.
What you pay
From €300 a month
A branded app or the API costs a monthly fee, set by the package you choose and how many active members you have. Nutrition starts at €300 a month for up to 1,000 active members. AI usage is on top: use your own AI key and pay your provider, or use Budy’s keys at cost.
- Test members are never billed
- Live keys follow a go-live review and a signed data processing agreement

Common questions from gyms
What is an AI coach for gym members?
An AI coach gives each member a workout plan made for their goal, their week and your equipment, shows today’s workout exercise by exercise, and answers questions in a chat. Budy’s AI coach is the same AI that runs the Budy app. Gyms get it through the gym partner program, a branded app, or an API for the app they already have.
Do we need our own app?
No. With the gym partner program, members scan a QR code at your front desk and use the Budy app. If you want your gym’s name on the App Store and Google Play, Budy can build a branded app for you.
We already have a member app from a vendor. Can the AI coach go inside it?
Yes. Your team or your app vendor connects the app to Budy’s API, and the workouts, meals and coach show in your own screens. Send them the AI workout API page. We work with your team or with your vendor.
Are plans built around our equipment?
Yes. Plans are built around the machines and weights at each branch. Every exercise also comes with alternatives, so a member can swap when a station is taken.
Does an AI coach replace our trainers?
No. It is for the members who train on their own. Your trainers keep their clients, and your coaching rules tell the AI how your gym trains people.
Does Budy replace our gym management software?
No. Budy is the coaching: workouts, meals and a coach. Payments, class scheduling and payroll stay in the software you already use.
Where is member data stored, and is it used to train AI?
With a branded app or the API, member data is stored in the EU, in separate live and test databases for your account. AI requests go to the AI provider, which can process them outside the EU. Budy does not use your members’ data to train AI models, and you can export or erase a member’s data. With the gym partner program, members use the Budy app under Budy’s privacy policy.
How much does an AI coach for a gym cost?
Packages for a branded app or the API start from €300 a month, for Nutrition with up to 1,000 active members. Your fee depends on the package and your number of active members, plus AI usage. Tell us about your gym and we will send a proposal.
Is this medical advice?
No. Budy gives general fitness and wellness guidance. It does not diagnose or treat any condition.
