Fitness App Development Agency

Workout products, coaching, subscriptions, and HealthKit โ€” built to retain past week two.

Fitness apps die on retention, not on whether you can show a timer. Streaks, programs, and a reason to open the app on a rainy Tuesday matter more than a 3D avatar in v1.

We ship workout and habit products with store subscriptions done correctly. RevenueCat, HealthKit, and Google Fit are in the plan when they belong โ€” not bolted on after review rejects you.

Why fitness app development is easy to get wrong

Most fitness apps lose the majority of users in the first month without a habit loop

Store subscriptions are a specialist skill โ€” freelancers often get receipt validation wrong

HealthKit / Health Connect scope is underestimated

Trainer marketplaces try to be Peloton + Mindbody in week one

What we build

Programs and logging

Workouts, sets, completion, and history a user can trust.

Paywall that is legal

Trials, restore purchases, and store-compliant copy.

Coach or admin tools

When a human assigns programs โ€” not only a content dump.

Wearable reads

Steps, workouts, or heart rate when they change the product โ€” not as decoration.

Typical features in v1

Subscriptions

RevenueCat as the default for iOS and Android IAP.

Habit UX

Reminders, streaks, and empty states designed, not leftover.

FAQ

How much does fitness app development cost?

A core fitness MVP starts at $3,460. AI coaching, social feed, and deep wearable graphs are extra scope we price before kickoff.

Do you handle App Store subscriptions?

Yes. RevenueCat is standard. We do not 'figure out StoreKit' in week three.

Can this replace Mindbody?

For a single brand, often yes. For a full marketplace of gyms, that is a different product โ€” see coaching and booking pages.
