Membership platforms for New York gyms and studios, from Manhattan to Queens.

Codeeo builds fitness membership website development New York gyms, boutique studios and training clubs rely on to sell memberships, class credits and all access passes online. Prospects compare tiers by borough, sign a health club agreement that follows New York's General Business Law, pay by card or wallet, and manage renewals and cancellation in their own account. Local tax treatment, contract rights and data security are configured per location, because a studio in Manhattan and one in Westchester are not billed the same way.

This is the website and recurring billing platform, separate from any member app. It is where the sale, the agreement and the payment record live, and it is what your accountant and attorney will look at first. If you add an app later, it signs in against the same member accounts.

Built for
Independent gyms, boutique class studios, boxing and climbing clubs, and multi location groups operating across the five boroughs and the wider metro area.
Typical timeline
Fixed after discovery, once tiers, locations, tax setup and member migration are understood, and recorded in the scope before design work begins.
What you own
The code, the content, the payment processor relationship and the member records, held in your company's accounts throughout.

Core features

What a New York membership checkout has to handle.

New Yorkers buy fitness around a commute. Someone might train near the office in Midtown on weekdays, near home in Astoria on weekends, and book a class in Williamsburg with a friend. Groups respond with all access tiers, class credits and home club memberships, and each of those has to be billed, taxed and documented correctly. New York's health club services law sets contract terms that apply whether a member signs at the desk or on a phone, New York City applies its own sales tax to fitness facility charges, and the SHIELD Act sets data security expectations for anyone holding New Yorkers' personal information. These features are how we handle that in one platform your staff can run, with a single admin where managers see members, payments, credits and requests for their own location, and owners see the whole group at once.

Explain your project
  • Borough and studio finder

    Prospects filter by borough, neighborhood or subway line and see the studios and tiers that fit their routine. Home club, multi studio and all access options are compared on one page, with the booking rights and guest privileges of each tier spelled out.

    People pick a tier that matches how they actually move around the city.

  • Location based tax setup

    New York City applies its local sales tax to dues and most charges at health and fitness facilities, while locations elsewhere in the state are treated differently. Each studio carries its own tax profile, so receipts and reports reflect where the member's home club sits.

    Correct tax on every invoice across mixed locations.

  • Health club agreement flow

    Article 30 of the General Business Law gives buyers three business days to cancel a health club contract after receiving a copy. The online agreement carries the required notices, is signed before payment, and is emailed straight away, which starts that window cleanly.

    Statutory notices delivered and recorded with every sale.

  • Relocation and disability requests

    New York law lets members cancel in defined situations, such as moving more than twenty five miles from your clubs or a significant disability. The portal provides a request form with document upload, and staff process it against the rules your attorney sets.

    Statutory cancellations handled consistently, not case by case.

  • Renewal disclosure and online exit

    Automatic renewal terms appear clearly before purchase and in the confirmation email, as New York's renewal provisions require. Members who joined online can end the renewal online, and receive written confirmation of the final billing date.

    A cancellation path that holds up to scrutiny.

  • Class credits and packs

    Credits, packs and limited tiers sit alongside unlimited memberships, with expiry rules, rollover limits and peak hour pricing you control. Members see their remaining credits in the portal and can top up without speaking to staff.

    Flexible buying without a mess of manual credit adjustments.

  • Freezes and peak hour tiers

    Members going away for a summer share, a long work trip or an injury can freeze from the portal under limits you set, with an optional freeze fee shown before they confirm. Off peak tiers restrict booking to quieter hours, which helps studios that fill at 7am and sit half empty mid afternoon.

    Pauses replace cancellations, and quiet hours earn their keep.

  • Employer wellness accounts

    Law firms, banks and agencies in Midtown and Lower Manhattan can sponsor memberships for staff through an employer portal, with eligibility codes, subsidy rules and consolidated invoices. Employees still own their member account if they leave the company.

    Corporate deals sold and billed without spreadsheets.

  • SHIELD Act security controls

    The SHIELD Act expects reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards for New Yorkers' private information. We apply role based access, encryption, hosted card fields for PCI DSS, logging and a written breach response so you can show what protects member data.

    A documented security baseline for your member records.

  • Multilingual join pages

    Neighborhood studios in Washington Heights, Flushing or Brighton Beach often serve members more comfortable in Spanish, Chinese or Russian. We translate tier pages, checkout prompts and agreement summaries with native speakers, and record which language each member signed in.

    Neighborhood members join in the language they read best.

Who this is for

Four New York operators we often work with.

Rent is high, space is tight and members are spoiled for choice, so New York operators need every sale and every renewal to work. The platform we propose depends on whether you run one studio or several, whether your revenue comes from unlimited plans or credits, and whether employers or commuters make up a large share of your members. These are the four starting points we plan for most often, and many clubs combine two of them in a single brief.

01

Boutique studios selling credits and unlimited plans

Class based studios in Flatiron, SoHo or Park Slope often run intro offers, packs and unlimited tiers together. We bring them onto one sales site with clear comparisons, renewal consent and a portal, connected to your existing class schedule so booking does not change for members. Intro offers can be limited to genuinely new customers by email and card checks, so regulars cannot recycle them, and the admin shows which offers turn into paying members after the first month.

Most studios keep their scheduling tool.

02

Groups with clubs inside and outside the city

When one location is in Brooklyn and another is in Westchester, Long Island or across the river in New Jersey, tax, contract and privacy treatment can differ by site. We give each location its own settings while keeping one member account, so transfers and multi club tiers still work. Reports split revenue, tax and active members by site, which is what lenders, landlords and partners tend to ask for.

03

Independent gyms replacing legacy billing

Older billing setups often hide renewal terms and make cancellation hard, which now creates real legal risk. We migrate members, agreement records and payment tokens where your processors allow, then rebuild the renewal and cancellation flow so it matches current law and your counsel's advice. Members get a short notice before the switch explaining what changes on their statement, which keeps chargebacks down during the move.

04

Clubs selling heavily to employers

If a large share of your members come through company wellness programs, the employer is your real customer. We build employer accounts, eligibility checks and invoicing, plus reports that show each sponsor how many staff joined and used their memberships, without exposing personal detail. When an employee leaves the company, their membership can move to personal billing in a few steps rather than lapsing.

Six stages to a New York membership platform you can defend.

  1. 01Remote discoveryVideo sessions with owners, managers and front desk staff to map tiers, credits, locations, tax treatment and how members join and leave today.
  2. 02Legal and tax inputsYour attorney confirms agreement wording and cancellation rules; your accountant confirms tax treatment per location. Both become written requirements.
  3. 03Sales site and portal designTier comparison, checkout, agreement and portal screens designed for small screens and quick decisions on a crowded train platform.
  4. 04Billing and system connectionsRecurring billing, wallets, card updates, your class scheduling tool, CRM and accounting connected and tested across normal and failed renewals.
  5. 05Migration and reconciliationMembers, renewal dates and credit balances imported and reconciled against your old system before the first live billing run.
  6. 06Ongoing improvementConversion, credit usage and cancellation reasons reviewed with you, and offers, copy and rules adjusted in planned releases.

Technology

What we build this with.

We use a CMS your marketing team can edit and a payment processor with recurring billing, card updating, Apple Pay and Google Pay. Integrations are built against the scheduling, access control and accounting software you already run. Pages are tuned for Core Web Vitals so tier comparisons load fast on patchy mobile signal.

What New York fitness operators ask before they start.

Sales pages, agreement, billing, portal and location specific rules.

At minimum you need tier and credit comparisons, a checkout that captures renewal consent, a signed health club agreement with the statutory notices, recurring billing and a portal for pauses, upgrades and cancellation. In New York you also need per location tax setup and security controls that match the SHIELD Act. Integrations with scheduling, CRM and accounting usually belong in the first release. Gated content, referral tools and employer portals can follow once the core sales and billing flow is proven with real members.
