Partners & referrals

Gym partner & referral program

Bring a gym to GymSetora and earn at least one month of its plan. Trainers, students and businesses can join as partners; gym owners, managers and trainers already on GymSetora have a link in the app.

Joining is free. GymSetora never asks for a fee, a deposit or a UPI PIN, and never calls or messages you to ask for a one-time code. You type that code into our form yourself.

Who can join

Trainers & coaches

You already know the gym owners in your area. Join with your phone number and get your link straight away.

100% of a monthly first invoice, or 15%, 20% or 25% of a yearly one. A one-time reward on the gym's first invoice; renewals don't earn.

Students (18+)

Build real business development experience while you study. Once 3 of your gyms qualify, GymSetora issues a signed certificate of business development work for your CV. Open to students aged 18 or older, because joining is a contract.

How business listings work

Already run a gym on GymSetora? Owners, managers and trainers have a personal code on the Refer & Earn page in the app and earn 100% of a monthly or 10% to 20% of a yearly first invoice (terms, section 3).

How it works

  1. Join

    About a minute: your name, WhatsApp number and city, confirmed with a one-time code.

  2. Share your link

    Send it on WhatsApp or print your QR poster. The gym sees that it was referred.

  3. The gym pays

    It gets the normal 14-day free trial first. Your reward is created on its first payment.

  4. Paid after 30 days

    Once the hold ends we approve it and pay your UPI ID or bank account, with the UTR.

Your link is remembered on the gym owner's browser for 60 days and the first valid code wins (section 2). Each reward is held for 30 days in case the payment is refunded (section 4).

For businesses: a free listing in front of gyms

Gym staff using GymSetora can open a partner directory inside the app, filter it by city and by what they need, and call, WhatsApp or email a partner directly. The directory currently covers Kolkata, Pune and Bengaluru.

Businesses that can apply:

  • Gym equipment suppliers
  • Equipment repair and service
  • Flooring and interiors
  • Supplements and nutrition
  • Apparel and merchandise
  • Trainer education and certification
  • Gym setup consultants
  • Other services for gyms

How a listing is approved

  1. You fill in the application form with your business details.
  2. We call you and check the business, for example on the GST portal, your website or at your shop.
  3. Once approved, your listing appears in the directory, you get your referral link, and you get a private page to track your application and your referrals.

We may decline or remove a listing that we cannot verify, that describes the business inaccurately, or that gyms report for good reason. GymSetora does not sell, recommend or guarantee partners' products: gyms deal with partners directly (section 8).

What counts, and what does not

  • Only the gym's first payment earns a reward. Free trials, renewals and later upgrades do not (section 3).
  • The gym's price does not change, and it is told about the referral before signing up (section 2).
  • You cannot refer your own gym, and a refund or chargeback cancels the reward (section 5).
  • No ads on our brand name, coupon sites or cold bulk messages (section 7).
  • You see each referred gym's name and stage only, never its contacts, plan or invoices (section 9).

Partner program questions

When does a GymSetora referral count?

A GymSetora referral counts when a gym signs up through your link or code and then pays its first invoice. The 14-day free trial never counts, and neither do renewals or upgrades later. Your link is remembered on the gym owner's browser for 60 days, and the first valid code wins (referral terms, section 2).

How much does a GymSetora partner earn per gym?

A GymSetora partner earns the full first month (100%) when the gym pays monthly, or 15%, 20% or 25% of the first year when it pays yearly (10% or 15% for a student partner); we set your rate when we approve you. It is a one-time reward on the gym's first invoice, not a recurring one. Gym owners, managers and trainers earn 10% to 20% on a yearly plan. Everything is worked out before GST: for example ₹1,694.07 for a gym on Growth monthly (referral terms, section 3).

When is a GymSetora referral reward paid?

GymSetora holds each reward for 30 days after the gym's first payment, in case it is refunded. After the hold we approve it and pay it to your UPI ID or bank account within 7 working days, with the transaction reference (UTR) shown to you. A refund or chargeback inside the hold cancels the reward (referral terms, sections 4 and 5).

Is tax deducted from GymSetora referral rewards?

Yes, where the law requires it. GymSetora deducts TDS under Section 194H of the Income-tax Act once your commission for the financial year crosses the legal threshold, and may ask for your PAN before paying. If you are registered for GST, you raise a GST invoice for your reward (referral terms, section 6).

Can I refer my own gym to GymSetora?

No. GymSetora does not pay for a gym you own or run. A code is not attached when the new gym's phone number or email matches yours, other matches such as a shared GSTIN or payout account are checked by a person before any payout, and a self-referral found later is cancelled or recovered (referral terms, sections 2 and 5).

What data does GymSetora collect from partners, and what do I see about referred gyms?

GymSetora asks individuals for 4 things to join: who you are (trainer, student or business), your name, your WhatsApp number and your city; businesses add their listing details. Your UPI ID or bank account is asked only when your first reward has cleared its hold, and it is stored encrypted. You see each referred gym's name and stage only, never its contacts, plan, members or invoices, and you can download your data or close your account from your private partner page (referral terms, section 9).

The rules

The full rules, including tax deduction, what is not allowed and how rewards can be cancelled, are in the referral & partner program terms.
