FitActive has partnered with Zing Coach to add AI-powered workout and wellness guidance to the gym chain’s existing app. The rollout covers 192 clubs and more than 500,000 members, but a launch date for members and any extra charge have not been disclosed.
FitActive, which the source report describes as Italy’s largest gym chain, has partnered with Zing Coach to bring AI-powered training guidance to more than 500,000 members across 192 clubs. The technology is being integrated into FitActive’s existing app, with staff access starting this week and member access expected over the coming weeks, according to Zing Coach CEO Anton Marchanka.
The integration is designed to give FitActive members personalized workout plans and guidance on nutrition and recovery. Recommendations are intended to adapt to a member’s goals and progress. The companies’ description also says the service can support training in a club, at home or independently; detailed information about how recommendations are generated or adjusted has not been provided in the source report.
Embedding the service in the FitActive app means members will not need to download another app or create a separate account, according to the report. The deployment is also described as supporting more than 2,000 personal trainers. The source does not specify what tools trainers will receive, how they will work alongside the AI service, or whether members will be able to share AI-generated plans with them.
The rollout began with FitActive staff, as stated in a LinkedIn post by Marchanka. The company expects members to gain access over the coming weeks. No specific public launch date, club-by-club schedule or subscription price has been announced in the supplied material.
AI Coaching Inside FitActive’s App
The deal puts AI coaching within the digital service members already use, rather than asking them to switch to a separate platform. That could lower the practical barrier to trying the feature and gives FitActive a way to offer personalized guidance across a large club network. Whether members use it, and whether it helps them maintain engagement, remains to be seen.
The announced scale is also relevant to trainers. More than 2,000 personal trainers are included in the deployment’s stated scope, but the source does not say whether the AI is intended to complement their work, direct members toward trainer support or take on some coaching tasks. The distinction matters for understanding how the service will operate in clubs and what role staff will have in members’ plans.
For customers, the key practical questions are access and cost. Integrating the tool into an existing app may simplify sign-in, but it does not establish that the feature is included in membership. FitActive has not disclosed whether members will pay an additional fee.

Zing Coach’s Gym Partnerships
FitActive’s agreement adds another large gym operator to Zing Coach’s commercial partnerships. The source report says the startup has been positioning its technology as a tool for gym businesses seeking to offer more personalized services and support member engagement.
Earlier in the year, Zing Coach partnered with New York Sports Club on Myco, an AI coaching platform with personalized workouts, progress tracking, fitness assessments and nutrition guidance. That service launched in April and was priced at $15 per month after a free 30-day trial, separate from gym membership dues, according to the report. FitActive’s arrangement differs in that the technology is being built into its own branded app. The NYSC pricing does not establish what, if anything, FitActive members will pay.
“The rollout began this week with FitActive staff, with members set to gain access over the coming weeks.”

Member Access, Pricing and Trainer Roles
Several operational details remain undisclosed. The source material does not provide a firm date for member access, confirm whether the service will be free or paid, or explain whether all 192 clubs will receive it at the same time. It also does not identify which app features will be available at launch.
The companies have not detailed how the AI will use member information, how its workout and nutrition recommendations are reviewed, or what safeguards apply to personalized guidance. The report describes the service as offering workout, nutrition and recovery support, but does not establish clinical oversight or make claims about health outcomes. The specific division of work between the AI tool and FitActive’s personal trainers is also unclear.

Member Rollout in Coming Weeks
FitActive staff are the first users, with members expected to receive access over the coming weeks, according to Marchanka’s post as described by Athletech News. The next clear milestone is the opening of the feature to members through the existing FitActive app.
Further details from FitActive or Zing Coach could clarify the rollout schedule, whether access is included with membership, which coaching functions will be available, and how personal trainers will use the service. Until then, the confirmed development is the partnership and planned app integration—not the scale of member adoption or the service’s results.
