How to add Glofox to your website
Glofox is a gym and studio management platform with website booking widgets, used by gyms, boutique fitness studios and martial arts schools. Here's how to put it on your own website, which embed option to pick, and what goes wrong.
Quick answer
Get the code from your Glofox dashboard under the website integration or widget settings. For most people the right choice is the schedule widget — your class timetable with booking. Paste it into a code or embed block on your site — not a plain text field — then place it beside your main call to action and test the whole flow on a phone before relying on it.
Glofox: which option to use
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Schedule widget | Your class timetable with booking. |
| Membership widget | Sign-up flow for memberships and packages. |
| Booking link | A hosted page behind a button. |
Step-by-step
- 1
Find the code or link in your account
Glofox keeps this in your Glofox dashboard under the website integration or widget settings. Copy what you need before touching your website — most of the time people lose is spent hunting for the snippet, not installing it.

Pick the right option for the job
The table above is the decision. Schedule widget: Your class timetable with booking. Membership widget: Sign-up flow for memberships and packages. Choosing before you paste saves rebuilding the section later.

Paste it into a code or embed block
This needs an HTML, code or embed block — not a plain text field, where the code will simply appear as text on your page. On Adviita, ask the AI editor to add an embed section and drop the code in. On WordPress use a Custom HTML block, on Squarespace a Code block (Business plan or above), and on Wix an Embed HTML element.

Put it where the decision happens
Booking is the action your site exists to produce, so this belongs above the fold, not below your gallery. A widget three scrolls down does a fraction of the work of the same widget beside your main call to action. Decide what the page is for, then place it at the point the visitor is deciding.

Check it on an actual phone
Most visitors to a small business website arrive on a phone, and embeds are where mobile layouts break. Open your live site on your own phone and confirm it loads, fits the screen without sideways scrolling, and does not push your contact button out of view. Third-party embeds are also the most common cause of a slow page, so if it noticeably delays loading, consider a plain link instead.

Test it end to end before you rely on it
Run through the whole flow yourself as a customer would — complete a real booking — and confirm what should happen actually happens. Broken embeds fail silently, and the first person to notice is usually a customer who has already given up.
Tips & best practices
- ▸Glofox is priced for established studios. For a single instructor it is significant overhead.
- ▸Membership sign-up embedded on your own site converts better than sending people to an app store — make sure the web flow is enabled.
- ▸Class capacity and waitlist settings live in Glofox; a widget showing everything full is a capacity configuration issue, not a bug.
- ▸Re-test the embed after any change to your site, your plan, or the connected account — third-party widgets break quietly and nothing tells you.
Common questions
How do I add Glofox booking to my website?
+−
In your Glofox dashboard, open the website integration settings and copy the widget code for your schedule or membership sign-up. Paste it into a code block on your site. Enable the web sign-up flow so new members can join without being pushed to download an app first.
Should new members sign up on my website or in the app?
+−
On your website. Every extra step loses people, and requiring an app download before someone has even joined is a large step. Let them join on the web and introduce the app afterwards, once they are already a member.
Do I need a developer to add Glofox to my site?
+−
No. Every option here is copy and paste into a code or embed block, which every mainstream website builder provides. The only genuine blocker is a builder or plan that does not allow custom code at all — Squarespace, for instance, requires a Business plan or above for code blocks.
Will adding Glofox slow down my website?
+−
Any third-party embed has some cost, because it loads code from another company's servers. One is usually unnoticeable; four or five on the same page is where small business sites become visibly slow. If page speed matters to you, prefer a plain link over a script wherever the option exists, and keep embeds to the pages that genuinely need them.
