You’ve chosen a theme…what to do next? To launch a gym site, you’ll have to buy a shared hosting plan. Why shared hosting? Well, shared hosting companies give their users access to a 1-click WordPress installer tool. They only allow users to host sites that may not cause a huge spike in CPU usage or consume a huge amount of RAM. The fitness or gym websites are not complex. Once you install the WordPress CMS, login to your WP dashboard and install one of the following best WordPress gym themes I’ve shared above.
