Introducing ClickPlay: Gyms, Personal Training and CrossFit on the Costa del Sol, Made Simple
Finding somewhere to train should take minutes, not an afternoon. Here's what we're building and why.
Sound Familiar?
You want to train today. So you search Google, find three gyms that might be nearby, check two websites that haven't been updated since 2022, send a WhatsApp that goes unanswered until the following morning, and eventually give up and skip the session altogether.
Or you've just moved to the Costa del Sol. You know there's a great fitness scene here; gyms, personal trainers and CrossFit boxes, but you don't know where anything is yet, and the people who do know are the ones who've been here for years.
This is the problem ClickPlay is here to solve.
What is ClickPlay?
ClickPlay is a fitness facility directory and booking platform built for the Costa del Sol, starting with gyms, personal training and CrossFit.
The idea is simple: instead of hunting across Google Maps, gym websites, Instagram pages, and WhatsApp threads, you start in one place. Search by location, find the gyms, trainers and crossfit boxes that match what you're after, and find out how to book in a few taps.
The first version of the platform is focused on helping you answer three questions quickly:
- What gyms, PT studios and CrossFit boxes are available near me?
- What can I actually do there: equipment, coaching, pricing, drop-in access?
- How do I book?
That's it. No faff, no dead ends.
Why the Costa del Sol?
Because it's one of the best places in Europe to train, and it's still surprisingly hard to navigate.
The region has an extraordinary range of fitness facilities: no-frills strength gyms, boutique studios, personal trainers, CrossFit boxes, and multi-site chains across Málaga, Torremolinos, Benalmádena, Fuengirola, Marbella, Mijas, Estepona, and beyond. But a lot of those facilities are genuinely hard to find unless you already know they exist. Great gyms are under-discovered. Booking processes vary wildly. Information online is often outdated or scattered.
ClickPlay is being built to fix that, for the people who train, and for the gyms themselves.
Who is ClickPlay for?
Anyone who wants to train more, with less hassle.
That includes locals looking for a new gym or a CrossFit box to join, tourists wanting a day pass or a one-off PT session during their stay, people who've recently moved to the area and don't yet know where to train, and anyone who wants proper coaching but isn't sure which trainer or studio to trust.
It's also for the gyms and trainers themselves. A lot of great facilities aren't easy to find online, not because they're not good, but because they don't have the time or resources to maintain a strong digital presence. ClickPlay gives them another way to be found by people who are actively looking to train.
Where we are right now
ClickPlay is in its early stages, and we're being honest about that.
The platform is live and growing. We're adding gyms, personal trainers and CrossFit boxes, improving the quality of information, and working directly with venues across the region. Some are already bookable through ClickPlay directly. Others can be contacted or booked through their existing systems, we'll point you in the right direction either way.
This is a directory-first build, because the first problem to solve is discovery. Before anything else, people need a reliable way to find out what's out there. Everything else: better booking tools, member accounts, venue analytics, more sports, more regions, comes next, and it'll be shaped by how people actually use the platform.
Come and Explore
If you train, we'd love to know whether ClickPlay helps you find somewhere new to work out. If you run a gym, PT studio, or CrossFit box, we'd love to make sure your venue is on the platform and easy to find. Use the contact form at the top of this page to get in touch.
This is being built for the fitness community on the Costa del Sol, and the best version of it will come from the people who use it.
