PT Pod setup in a gym
Partner Programme

Bring PT Pods
to your gym.

Guided workouts on a big screen, a booking system your members love, virtual PT sessions, and a dashboard to manage it all.

The Concept

What is a PT Pod?

PT Pods is a platform that turns any gym space into a guided workout station. A TV connected to a PC plays professional workout videos while your members follow along. They book sessions through the PT Pods app, and you manage everything from your own dashboard.

Add a webcam and your members can also book live one-to-one sessions with a real personal trainer, streamed directly to the TV — no extra staff needed on your end.

We already run PT Pods in our own locations across the UK. Now we're opening the platform so gym owners can offer the same experience to their members.

What you get

Everything you need to run guided workout sessions at your gym, out of the box.

Professional video library

A growing catalogue of guided workout videos covering HIIT, strength, yoga, and more. Streamed directly to your TV.

Booking app for your members

Your location appears in the PT Pods app. Members find you, pick a time slot, choose a workout, and book — all from their phone.

Management dashboard

Your own login to manage time slots, view bookings, see who's using your pod, schedule videos, and track usage analytics.

Virtual PT sessions

With a webcam connected, your members can book live one-to-one sessions with a real personal trainer streamed to the TV.

Automatic updates

New videos, features, and improvements are pushed to your setup automatically. No manual updates or maintenance needed.

Remote monitoring

See your pod's screen and webcam feed from your dashboard. Check everything is running smoothly without being on-site.

Smart lock access (add-on)

Add a Tapkey smart lock and your members unlock the door via Bluetooth straight from the PT Pods app. No keys, no fobs.

Open or invite-only

List your gym for anyone to find on the app, or keep it invite-only — visible just to your employees or specific members.

Push notifications

Send targeted messages straight to your members' phones. Promote new classes, share updates, or fill empty slots.

What our partners say

★★★★★

"PT Pods completely changed how we offer fitness to our tenants. The booking system is seamless, the video quality is brilliant, and we didn't need to hire extra staff. It basically runs itself."

Sarah Mitchell

Operations Manager, Praxis

★★★★★

"We were looking for something to set our gym apart. PT Pods gave us a premium offering without the overhead of hiring more personal trainers. Members love it — bookings filled up in the first week."

Step 1

Your gym appears in the app. Members start booking. You manage it all from your dashboard.

Your Members

A booking experience they'll actually use

Your gym shows up on the PT Pods app map. Members pick a time, choose a guided workout or free-train, and they're booked in. No reception desk, no paper sign-up sheets.

What you need

Minimal hardware, minimal setup. Here's what's required to get your pod running.

A computer

Any Mac or Windows computer with an internet connection. We recommend a Mac Mini (M1 or later) or equivalent.

A TV or monitor

Connected to the PC via HDMI. The bigger the better — your members follow along with the video.

A webcam (optional)

Required for virtual PT sessions and remote monitoring. Any USB webcam with a mic will work.

A smart lock (add-on)

A Tapkey Bluetooth cylinder lock for your gym door. Members unlock via the app — no keys needed.

That's it. No specialist equipment, no construction, no proprietary hardware.

It's an optional Bluetooth cylinder lock you can add to your gym door. Once installed, your members unlock the door straight from the PT Pods app — no keys, no fobs, no reception desk. Access is only granted during their booked session time.

Yes. You can set your gym to invite-only so it's hidden from the public app map. Only people you invite — such as employees, building residents, or specific members — will be able to see and book sessions. You can switch between open and invite-only at any time from your dashboard.
