FitBUILDER Release Notes
Updated over 2 weeks ago

FitBUILDER is an all-in-one solution tailored for Functional fitness gyms, or other studios that operate on a structured group fitness model. 🏋️ It is a WellnessLiving add-on and requires a WellnessLiving subscription to use.

You can add-on the FitBUILDER feature for $49/month.

FitBUILDER allows businesses to create a Workout of the Day (WOD) schedule that can be published on their website and mobile app. Clients can participate in the workouts either at home, in the studio by themselves, or as part of a class with other clients.

In studio, clients can follow along with the workout on a whiteboard interface intended to be displayed on a TV. Clients can log results, compare their results to other clients on a leaderboard, and leave comments on other client’s results in the Achieve Client App.
