Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Harbiz develops an all-in-one software platform for fitness and health professionals — including personal trainers, nutritionists, physiotherapists and yoga instructors — as well as gyms and fitness centres. The platform centralises client management, training and nutrition planning, scheduling and bookings, communications and payments in a single application, positioned as a replacement for combinations of messaging apps, spreadsheets and PDF documents.

Functionality includes a calendar with recurring events, team scheduling, appointment availability and reminders; subscription plans, one-off product sales and a Stripe-powered payment gateway with automatic renewals; in-app chat with voice notes, images, push notifications, broadcast messaging and community groups; online live group classes and one-to-one sessions delivered through third-party tools such as Zoom, Google Meet or YouTube, plus a recorded video library; client records with customisable evolution metrics, progress photos, compliance tracking and segmentation by keywords; training and nutrition program templates; a customisable website for the professional, and integrations with Facebook and Google Ads pixels and ActiveCampaign. Professionals can also offer a white-label branded app to their own clients, and Harbiz Academy provides training content on sales, retention and digitalisation. The company has launched Harbiz AI, which it describes as artificial intelligence built for personal trainers to automate the creation of training programs and nutrition plans.

Founding story

Harbiz was founded in 2020 by Mario Morante, who serves as CEO, and Javier Ortega. The founders describe the company's aim as simplifying the work of fitness and health professionals so they can scale their businesses and serve clients online regardless of location.

Business model

Harbiz sells subscription plans to fitness and wellness professionals and centres; the app is free for the professionals' own end clients. Plans are tiered by number of clients and upgrade automatically as a professional's client base grows, with billing charged monthly to a stored card. Annual contracts are offered at a discount, and a free trial with full features and unlimited clients requires no payment card. Professionals with more than 50 clients are directed to custom pricing.

Recurring subscription fees from professionals and fitness centres, with tiered pricing based on client volume, monthly or discounted annual billing, and custom offers for larger accounts. Client payments to professionals are processed through a Stripe-powered payments module.

Traction

At the time of the €5 million round, Harbiz reported operations in more than 35 countries, over 6,000 fitness professionals using the platform serving more than 120,000 end clients, and turnover that had doubled compared with the previous year.

Latest developments

The company has released Harbiz AI for automated creation of training programs and nutrition plans, and is running promotional pricing on annual plans. Its most recent disclosed financing is a €5 million round led by Octopus Ventures aimed at UK and German expansion, product-led growth and AI-focused product development.
