The GymBear home screen for a trainer: 6 active clients, 8 sessions this week, R8 850 paid this month, and today's sessions.

Your week, in three steps

  1. Train

    Build a programme once, pin it to their training days, and reuse it every week.

    Upper body · pinned Tue & Fri
  2. Log

    Every set, every session, every client, as it happens.

    Back squat · 3 × 8 · 80 kg
  3. Bill

    Invoices from the sessions you logged, and who's paid at a glance.

    Invoice · R 1 800Paid

Then next week, the same programmes are ready to go again.

Less admin. More coaching.

None of the admin is why you became a trainer.

Before

  • Programmes scattered in your notes app
  • Bookings buried in WhatsApp chats
  • Chasing EFTs at the end of the month
  • Did Naledi even train this week?

With GymBear

  • Programmes built once, reused for every client
  • Every session logged as it happens
  • Invoices sent, and who's paid at a glance
  • Clients log their own training in their app
A client's programmes in GymBear: Upper body, Lower body, Cardio and Hyrox, each pinned to training days.

How it works

  1. 1

    Add your clients

    Name, goals, rates, and the health and injury notes you need to train them safely.

  2. 2

    Train and log

    Build programmes, pin them to training days, and log every session as it happens.

  3. 3

    Bill

    Create invoices from the sessions you've logged, and see at a glance who still owes you.

Your clients get their own app.

Invite a client and they get a login of their own. They see the workouts you’ve set for each day, log their sets, track their progress and personal records, and cheer each other on in your club feed.

And you finally know who actually trained this week.

The GymBear client app: a client's week of workouts, one for each training day.

Try it with your clients this week.

Free during early access. Set up in under a minute.

Built for how South African trainers work.

  • Priced and invoiced in rand

    No dollar pricing that moves with the exchange rate.

  • POPIA registered

    Registered with the Information Regulator, 2026-067687. Client data is encrypted and stored in the EU.

  • Made for your phone

    No big app store download. Your phone keeps the app's files after the first visit.

  • A real person behind it

    Made in South Africa. Questions go to support@gymbear.app and a person answers.

Free during early access.

No card, no contract. When pricing arrives it will be in rand, and you’ll hear at least 30 days before anything changes.

No app store needed.

Open gymbear.app on your phone, sign in, and add it to your home screen. It opens full-screen with its own icon, like any other app.

iPhone

In Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen.

Android

In Chrome, tap Install when asked, or the menu, then Add to Home screen.

Questions

Is it a real app?

Yes. GymBear runs in your phone's browser and adds to your home screen like any app, with its own icon. There's no app store download, so there's nothing big to install and you're always on the latest version.

Does it use much data?

The first visit loads the app like any website. After that your phone keeps the app's files, so day to day it only fetches your clients' information.

Is my clients' information safe?

GymBear is registered with the Information Regulator (2026-067687). Client data is encrypted and stored in the EU, health notes are visible to you only, and we never sell data or use it for advertising.

What happens after early access?

GymBear is free while it's in early access. When pricing arrives you'll get at least 30 days' notice before anything changes. Nobody is charged unless they choose a paid plan.

Do my clients have to use the app?

No. You can run everything yourself. Clients you invite get their own login to see their workouts, log sessions and track progress. It's there if they want it.

Can I leave and take my data with me?

Yes. Ask us at support@gymbear.app for an export of your business data at any time.

Your next client deserves the version of you that isn’t doing admin.
