What our clients say
Totally Obsessed!! I have found this app incredibly helpful. The instructions are clear, and the tutorial videos are awesome. I have learned so much very quickly because of using it. It is 100% worth the price because it is way better, more fun and cheaper than a gym membership.
Von B.
This app has it all, I signed up for the 7 day free trial. It’s super easy to use and the suggested meal plans and workouts for my specific goal is great! I love the education section which is often missed but very important.
Jennifer S.
This app is your best friend at the gym AND at home. Regardless of what you have going on, the team have created an app that keeps you showing up and getting the workouts done. The recent educational platform is great to dive deeper into getting your form correct and the community created is an added bonus. I’ve packed equipment and got workouts in when the places I’ve traveled to lacked a gym using the programs. This app really has you covered and dedication to the craft and this app shows.

FAQ
Before you get in touch.
Can’t see your question? Drop us a message and we’ll get back to you.
Should I build a custom app or use platforms like Everfit, Lenus, Skool or Circle?
It depends on where your business sits today and where you plan to take it. Off-the-shelf software like Everfit, Lenus, or Circle offers an accessible, low-risk way to get started. However, you are operating within someone else's strict functional boundaries and visual framework. Your brand blends in with every other creator on the platform, and if you want to introduce a proprietary learning journey, unique interaction style, or tailored user experience, you will hit a wall.
Can I use AI app builders like Base44 or no-code tools instead of hiring a developer?
AI tools and "no code" platforms are great for rapid prototyping or simple projects, but full endto end app production using AI alone brings significant risks. AI generated code often struggles with long term scalability, data security, edge case user journeys, and custom integrations. More importantly, AI cannot design human-centred experiences or advise you on digital strategy. We are an AI empowered agency, meaning we leverage AI internally to streamline our engineering processes, lower development overhead, and speed up delivery times. However, the architecture, UX/UI strategy, and ongoing technology management are fully led by human design experts to ensure your app is secure, reliable, and delightful to use.
What happens when my business outgrows a template app?
With standard template platforms, outgrowing their ecosystem usually means a painful migration process: exporting client data, convincing users to download a completely new app, and starting your tech setup from scratch. Our hybrid architecture eliminates platform lock-in. Starting with one of our lighter framework offerings gives you an affordable solution that is quick to market and that already carries your brand identity. When your product evolves, our team simply bolts new bespoke features, custom UI elements, or advanced backend capabilities onto your existing structure. Your users experience a smooth upgrade without any disruption or platform switching.
Is Pangolin only for fitness brands, or can other industries build apps with you?
While we have a strong, proven track record in the fitness and wellness space (generating over £30m in client revenue), our technology is built for any brand, expert, or creator focused on guided user journeys, skill acquisition, or community building. Whether you are teaching skills in a structured step by step format (such as rock climbing, language learning, or creative crafts like crochet), delivering gated premium content, or building a subscription membership, our platform provides the flexible infrastructure needed to support your unique model.
How much does it cost to build an app with Pangolin compared to a fully custom agency build?
Traditional agency builds often require £50,000 to £100,000+ in upfront capital, while template platforms cost a lower monthly fee but limit your growth and brand equity. We offer a sliding scale designed to meet you where your business currently sits financially. You can start with our Essential setup for a manageable entry investment, giving you high end UX and tailored visual branding. As your subscriber base expands, you can reinvest revenue directly into building out custom functionality. We walk through transparent pricing structures during our initial discovery stage so you can choose the right tier for your budget.
Do I need tech experience to manage my app after launch?
Not at all. We operate as your dedicated tech partner, instead of being transactional. From initial discovery and design to store submission, compliance, and post launch maintenance, our team handles all backend updates, security, and feature rollouts. You receive a straightforward content management dashboard to handle your daily operations, content uploads, and client messaging, while we keep the underlying technology optimised and running smoothly in the background.
Do I own my customer data and app content?
Yes, entirely. Unlike closed platform ecosystems where customer relationship data is locked behind proprietary software, you retain full ownership of your user base, content, and analytics. Having direct access to your data allows you to track engagement metrics, understand user behaviour, refine your offering, and build long term business value without being tied to a third party directory.
How long does it take to design and launch an app with Pangolin?
Launch timelines depend on the level of customisation you choose. Essential / Hybrid builds: Can go live in as little as 4 to 6 weeks, letting you test the market and generate subscription revenue quickly. Fully custom app products: Typically take 12 to 16 weeks, allowing time for deep UX design, bespoke software engineering, thorough testing, and app store approval processes. During our initial alignment call, we map out a realistic project timeline based on your goals and release strategy.
