FitActive has partnered with Zing Coach to bring AI-guided workouts and related fitness recommendations to more than 500,000 members across 192 clubs in Italy. Staff access began this week, with member access expected over the coming weeks; whether the service will cost extra is unknown.
FitActive, Italy’s largest gym chain, has partnered with Zing Coach to roll out AI-powered training through its app across 192 clubs, reaching more than 500,000 members. The staged launch began with FitActive staff this week, with members expected to gain access over the coming weeks, according to Zing Coach CEO Anton Marchanka.
The technology will be integrated into FitActive’s existing branded app, so members will not need to download a separate Zing Coach app or create another account. The planned tools include personalized workout plans and guidance on nutrition and recovery, with recommendations designed to respond to a member’s goals and progress.
Zing Coach’s system is intended to support training in a FitActive club, at home or independently. The rollout is also described as supporting more than 2,000 personal trainers. The source report does not specify precisely how trainers will use the platform alongside their work with members.
The companies have not disclosed whether FitActive members will pay an additional fee. The service’s launch is being phased: staff access started first, while the timeline for member access is described only as the coming weeks.
AI Coaching Inside FitActive’s App
The arrangement puts AI coaching directly in the app FitActive members already use, rather than asking them to adopt a separate platform. That may reduce sign-up friction and gives the chain a way to offer workout recommendations across a network of 192 clubs and to members training away from its facilities. The source does not report how many members are expected to use the tools or whether their use will change training outcomes.
For trainers, the partnership raises the prospect of digital recommendations operating alongside in-person services. The companies say the deployment supports more than 2,000 personal trainers, but have not explained whether AI-generated plans are meant to complement trainer-led programming, how trainers will access member data, or what oversight will apply. Those details matter to members deciding how to use automated guidance and to staff incorporating it into their work.
The business model is also unresolved. FitActive has not said whether access will be included with membership or sold as an add-on, making it difficult to compare the offer with paid digital coaching services or judge how widely members may adopt it.

Zing Coach’s Gym Partnerships
The FitActive agreement is another commercial partnership for Zing Coach, which has marketed its technology to gym operators as a way to provide personalized coaching and encourage member engagement. The source report describes the Italian rollout as a major deployment, but provides no usage or performance results from FitActive.
Earlier this year, Zing Coach partnered with New York Sports Club in the United States to launch Myco, a separate AI coaching platform. The report says Myco launched in April with personalized workouts, progress tracking, fitness assessments and nutrition guidance. It was priced at $15 per month after a free 30-day trial, separate from NYSC membership dues.
The FitActive arrangement differs in one clear respect: its coaching technology is being integrated into the gym chain’s own app. No comparable price has been announced for FitActive, and the NYSC offering’s fee should not be taken as an indication of what FitActive members will pay.

Pricing and Member Access Details
FitActive and Zing Coach have not announced whether the service will carry an extra charge, whether access will be available to every member, or whether the rollout will proceed club by club. The reported timeframe for members is the coming weeks, without a specific date.
Further details about the coaching features are also limited. The source does not explain how the system evaluates goals and progress, what information it uses, how recommendations are reviewed, or how AI guidance will be coordinated with FitActive’s trainers. No evidence or performance figures are provided on member uptake, fitness results or engagement. These points remain unconfirmed rather than established benefits of the deployment.

Member Rollout and Service Terms
The next stated milestone is access for FitActive members, expected over the coming weeks after the initial staff rollout. The companies have not published a firm launch date or a detailed schedule, so the timing may become clearer as deployment progresses.
Members and trainers will also need more information on eligibility, pricing and how the tools work to understand what the partnership offers in practice. FitActive or Zing Coach could provide those details as the rollout expands; until then, the confirmed scope is the app integration, the planned coaching features and the network size described in the announcement.
