Question 1

What is Gorillo?

Accepted Answer

Gorillo is an app for independent 1:1 trainers and small fitness studios, on Android and iPhone, and in any browser at app.gorilloapp.com. The trainer side covers your clients, live session logging, memberships and payments, a calendar of sessions and classes, and a chat with every client. Your clients get a companion app for their progress, schedule and membership.

Question 2

Who is Gorillo designed for?

Accepted Answer

Two groups: independent trainers who mainly coach clients 1:1, and small fitness studios running a mix of private sessions and small-group classes. It suits businesses with roughly 5–50 active clients, not big-box gyms or multi-location chains.

Question 3

How do my clients get the app?

Accepted Answer

Only through you. The client app opens with an invite code, and only a trainer can create one. You generate it from the client’s profile and share it. They download Gorillo for free, choose Trainee and enter the code. Their app shows their training streak, session history, upcoming bookings, open classes at your gym and their membership status. They can message you, and start and log their own workouts.

Question 4

Can Gorillo manage both 1:1 sessions and classes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The calendar holds 1:1 bookings with one client and classes with a set number of spots, an optional price and a location. A class can be open, so every client at your gym can see it and join, or private to the people you pick. Overlapping events are flagged, and any event can be duplicated to next week.

Question 5

How does the AI workout log work?

Accepted Answer

Start a session and say what happened, typed or spoken: “bench press, 3 sets of 10 at 40 kg”. Gorillo confirms each entry back with every number and asks when something is missing, like the weight on a barbell lift. When you end the session it writes up one line per set plus a one-sentence summary for the client’s history. It works in nine languages, including English, Spanish, German, French and Romanian.

Question 6

Can I message my clients in Gorillo?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and it is separate from the workout log. Every client has a direct thread with you, so coaching questions stay out of your personal WhatsApp, and a gym can have one room everyone shares. Clients can reach you from a booking or from their Chat tab. Messages are text, and Gorillo does not send push notifications yet: unread threads are marked when you open the app.

Question 7

Can my clients share their workouts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. When a client ends a session, Gorillo offers to turn it into an image from their real numbers: volume, best lift, time, sets and training streak. They add a photo, move the stats where they like, and share it to Instagram, save it, or post it to your gym’s private feed. You can post too: pick Workout, Tip or Announcement and Gorillo lays it out at Instagram and TikTok sizes. Every image carries the Gorillo mark and your gym’s name. It is included on every plan.

Question 8

Does Gorillo take payments?

Accepted Answer

No. Gorillo tracks payments; it does not process them. You set up plans (monthly, session packs, packs with a deadline, or drop-in), assign one to each client and mark them paid when they pay you. Finances then shows what is outstanding, who needs renewing, who is at risk and what to expect this month. No card processing, no fees.

Question 9

What does Gorillo cost?

Accepted Answer

One subscription, priced by how many clients are on your roster, with everything included on every plan: up to 5 clients for €14.99 a month, up to 10 for €24.99, up to 20 for €39.99, up to 40 for €69.99 and up to 100 for €139.99. Paying yearly costs €149.99, €249.99, €399.99 or €699.99, each 17% less than twelve monthly payments; the 100-client plan is monthly only. Prices include VAT; in the US they are the same numbers in dollars, before sales tax. More than 100 clients? Email us. Your clients never pay, and Gorillo takes no cut of what they pay you.

Question 10

How does the free trial work?

Accepted Answer

Every plan starts with 7 days free. Sign up on the web and the free week needs no card and covers up to 5 clients. Sign up in the app and the trial runs through the App Store or Google Play: the store asks for a payment method, and the subscription renews automatically when the trial ends unless you cancel in your store settings at least 24 hours before. There is one free trial per store account.

Question 11

Which clients count toward my plan?

Accepted Answer

Every client on your roster, except the ones you archive. When you reach your plan’s limit, move up to the next plan or archive someone who has finished training with you: archiving frees the slot and keeps their history, and you can bring them back later. A client can be archived once they have no active plan.

Question 12

What happens if I stop paying?

Accepted Answer

Your account and your clients’ apps become read-only: everyone can still see everything, nothing new can be added, and nothing is deleted. Subscribe again and everything is as you left it. To stop paying, cancel in your App Store or Google Play settings, or in Settings in the web app if your plan is billed on the web. Deleting your Gorillo account does not cancel a store subscription.

Question 13

What do I need to run Gorillo?

Accepted Answer

An iPhone running iOS 17 or later, or an Android phone running Android 8 or later, for you and for each client who wants the companion app. For finances, the calendar and clients you can also open Gorillo in any browser at app.gorilloapp.com. Nothing else: nothing to install on your computer, no card reader, no payment account.

Question 14

Is Gorillo available now?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Gorillo for Android is on Google Play, and trainers can also sign up on the web at app.gorilloapp.com today. Gorillo for iPhone is in final preparation for its App Store listing. The first release focuses on independent 1:1 trainers and small fitness studios.
