GYM | Sport & Fitness Club WordPress Theme 1.9.3

GYM (often referred to as GYM Sport & Fitness Club) is a high-impact, professional WordPress theme designed by AxiomThemes (and often associated with the Vamtam framework in some versions) for fitness centers, yoga studios, and personal trainers. It is characterized by its bold typography, gritty "industrial" aesthetic, and deeply integrated functional tools for the fitness industry.

As of early 2026, the theme has been updated to Version 2.8+, featuring full Elementor integration and "AI Helper" tools to streamline content creation.

## Specialized Fitness Features

Classes & Schedule Management: Includes a built-in timetable system that allows you to display weekly class schedules (e.g., Crossfit at 8 AM, Yoga at 10 AM) with filterable categories.

Trainer Profiles: Dedicated post types to showcase your coaching staff, including their specialties, social links, and "Success Stories."

BMI Calculator: A native, interactive tool that allows visitors to calculate their Body Mass Index directly on your site, increasing user engagement.

Event Integration: Fully compatible with The Events Calendar, perfect for managing fitness workshops, marathon registrations, or guest trainer seminars.

Advanced "Hover" Effects: Known for its "Superb Hover Effects," which add professional animations to class cards and trainer photos to make the site feel more dynamic.

### Why Choose This Theme?

This theme is a "powerhouse" for businesses that want a premium, aggressive look. While many fitness themes are generic and "clean," GYM uses high-contrast dark modes and bold accents to create an atmosphere of energy and strength.

Pros:

One-Click Demo Import: You can replicate the "gritty gym" look in minutes.

Retina Ready: Images are razor-sharp on iPhones and high-end displays.

Performance: Optimized code with localized (.po/.mo) files for fast international loading.

AI Integration: The new AI Helper helps you generate class descriptions and marketing copy without leaving the dashboard.

Cons:

Specific Aesthetic: The "hardcore" look might be too intense for a soft-wellness or meditation-only studio.

Plugin Dependency: Relies on the TrxAddons plugin for its core fitness features, which must be kept updated alongside the theme.

Implementation Tip: Since the theme is now heavily optimized for Elementor, I recommend using the Elementor Global Styles panel to control your gym's brand colors site-wide. This ensures that every new "Class" or "Trainer" page you add automatically matches your look.

Would you like me to compare this with a more "Zen" theme like Ativo, or do you need help setting up the Weekly Schedule widget?
