FitActive has partnered with Zing Coach to bring AI workout, nutrition and recovery guidance to its network of 192 clubs and more than 500,000 members. Staff access began this week, with member access expected over the coming weeks; the companies have not said whether the service will cost extra.
FitActive, described in the report as Italy’s largest gym chain, is adding Zing Coach’s AI personal training technology to its app across 192 clubs, a deployment expected to reach more than 500,000 members. Staff access began this week, with members due to receive access over the coming weeks, according to Zing Coach CEO Anton Marchanka.
The integration is designed to put personalized workout plans and coaching inside FitActive’s existing app. Members will not need to download a separate app or create another account to use the service, according to the report. The companies have not said whether members will need to pay an additional fee.
Zing Coach’s service is described as offering guidance on nutrition and recovery as well as exercise. Its recommendations are intended to adapt to members’ goals and progress, and to support workouts in a FitActive club, at home or independently. These are descriptions of the product’s intended features; the report does not provide independent performance data on the coaching.
The rollout also involves FitActive’s more than 2,000 personal trainers, according to the source report. It does not specify how trainers will use the system in sessions, whether they will receive separate tools or training, or how the AI service will be coordinated with in-person coaching.
AI Coaching Moves Into the Gym App
For members, placing coaching in the existing FitActive app could make the service easier to access than a standalone product, since it avoids an additional download and account. The scale of the planned reach—more than 500,000 members across 192 clubs—also makes the partnership a substantial commercial deployment for Zing Coach, rather than a limited trial, although the source does not provide adoption forecasts.
The rollout illustrates how gym operators are incorporating digital coaching into their own member experiences. It may offer members another way to receive workout guidance outside scheduled sessions with a trainer. But the practical effect will depend on details not yet disclosed, including availability, pricing, how recommendations are personalized and how the technology fits alongside human trainers.

Zing Coach’s Other Gym Partnership
FitActive’s arrangement is another commercial partnership for Zing Coach, which has marketed its technology to gym operators seeking digital personalization and member engagement. The report cites an earlier U.S. partnership with New York Sports Club, where Zing Coach launched Myco, an AI coaching platform.
That New York Sports Club offering launched in April and was priced at $15 per month after a free 30-day trial, separate from membership dues, according to the source report. FitActive’s model differs in one reported respect: Zing Coach’s technology is being integrated into the chain’s branded app rather than requiring members to use a separate platform. The pricing of FitActive’s service has not been announced.
“The rollout began this week with FitActive staff, with members set to gain access over the coming weeks.”

Pricing and Trainer Roles Remain Open
The companies have not disclosed whether FitActive members will pay an extra fee, whether access will be included with membership or whether features will vary by membership type. They also have not provided a firm date for when all members will be able to use the service; the reported schedule says access is expected over the coming weeks.
Further operational details are also missing. The report does not explain how the system uses member data, what safeguards apply, how trainers will interact with AI-generated recommendations or what limits members may face when receiving nutrition and recovery guidance. No usage targets, independent assessment of coaching quality or results data were reported.

FitActive and Zing Coach have not announced further rollout milestones or pricing. Details on fees, feature availability and how the technology will support the chain’s personal trainers may become clearer as member access expands.
