Shopify alternative Gyms

The Shopify alternative for Gyms who want a real gym or fitness studio website

Shopify is fine for hobbies. But running a gym or fitness studio means your website actually has to drive bookings, calls, and customers. Shopify is built for ecommerce. If your SMB is mostly service-based (dental, salon, restaurant), you're paying for features you'll never use.

fivedaylaunch builds you a custom gym or fitness studio site in 5 days for $36/mo. Free preview before you pay — no card needed to see what we'd build.

Why Gyms switch from Shopify

Three things Gyms tell us most often after they leave Shopify:

• "It's actually faster to call them" — most gym or fitness studio customers find your website via Google, so it has to be findable. Template-shaped Shopify sites rarely rank locally.
• "I spent more time on the site than serving customers" — DIY builders eat weekends. We do the work.
• "They charged me $30/mo extra to remove their badge" — vendor lock-in is real.
