TL;DR
FitActive has partnered with Zing Coach to add AI-powered workout, nutrition and recovery guidance to its app across 192 clubs. The rollout began with staff, and member access is expected over the coming weeks; pricing has not been disclosed.
FitActive, which the source report identifies as Italy’s largest gym chain, is rolling out Zing Coach’s AI coaching through its existing app across 192 clubs, making the service available to a potential base of more than 500,000 members. The launch began with FitActive staff, with members expected to gain access over the coming weeks, according to Zing Coach CEO Anton Marchanka.
The integration is designed to let members use AI coaching inside FitActive’s current app, without downloading another app or creating a separate account. The service is described as offering personalized workout plans and guidance on nutrition and recovery, with recommendations that adapt to members’ goals and progress.
The technology is intended to support exercise in different settings: at FitActive clubs, at home or independently. The partnership also covers support for more than 2,000 personal trainers, according to the source report. The announcement does not specify how trainers will use the platform in their work with members.
FitActive and Zing Coach have not disclosed whether the service will cost members extra. The source report also does not give a full launch schedule, explain which members will receive access first, or describe the specific features available at launch.
AI Coaching Inside FitActive’s App
For members, embedding the service in an app they already use could make AI-generated plans easier to access than a separate platform. The offering is presented as a way to connect workout planning with nutrition and recovery guidance, while allowing recommendations to respond to personal goals and progress.
For FitActive, the rollout extends a digital service across a network serving more than 500,000 members and is intended to support its personal-training operation. The source material does not show whether the tool will increase engagement, improve fitness outcomes or affect trainer workloads; those results will depend on adoption and how members and staff use it.
The deal also gives Zing Coach another large gym-chain partnership. It shows the company selling its technology to operators as an app-integrated service, rather than only as a standalone consumer product. Whether that approach brings sustained use or measurable business benefits has not been reported.
Zing Coach’s Gym Partnerships
The FitActive deal follows Zing Coach’s partnership with New York Sports Club in the United States. Earlier this year, the companies launched Myco, an AI coaching platform with personalized workouts, progress tracking, fitness assessments and nutrition guidance.
That U.S. service launched in April at $15 per month after a free 30-day trial, separate from NYSC membership dues, according to the source report. The FitActive arrangement differs in that Zing Coach’s technology is being integrated into the gym’s branded app. The report gives no price for the FitActive service, so the NYSC fee should not be taken as an indication of what FitActive members may pay.
“The rollout began this week with FitActive staff, with members set to gain access over the coming weeks.”
— Anton Marchanka, Zing Coach CEO
Pricing and Access Details Pending
Member pricing has not been announced, and it is not clear whether AI coaching will be included in FitActive membership or offered for an additional fee. The companies have also not detailed the rollout sequence, eligibility rules, or whether every member will receive access at the same time.
Further details about the service remain unreported, including how its recommendations are generated, what personal information it uses, and how the system works alongside advice from FitActive’s trainers. The source material does not report independent evidence about the accuracy of its guidance or its effect on members’ training results.
Member Rollout Over Coming Weeks
FitActive staff are the first group using the service, and the next stated step is to extend access to members over the coming weeks. Neither company has provided a more specific date in the source report.
Members will be able to judge the service once it appears in FitActive’s app. Any announcement about fees, access conditions, feature availability or the role of personal trainers would clarify how the partnership will work in practice.

How many FitActive members could be reached?

When will members get access?
The rollout began with FitActive staff. Member access is expected over the coming weeks, but no specific date or rollout sequence has been announced in the source material.
Will FitActive members pay extra?
That has not been disclosed. The $15 monthly price reported for Zing Coach’s NYSC service applies to a different partnership and does not establish FitActive’s pricing.
Does the AI replace FitActive’s personal trainers?
