Vimeo offers fitness-specific solutions through its platform, but its pricing varies widely depending on the features needed and the scale of the fitness business. See why Exercise.com is the better choice.
While Vimeo Fitness advertises standard plans like Starter ($12/month), Standard ($25/month), and Advanced ($75/month)—all billed annually—these Vimeo Fitness plans have notable limitations that make them insufficient for most online fitness businesses operating at scale (meaning that most online fitness businesses will end up getting quoted Vimeo Fitness Enterprise pricing in the tens of thousands of dollars per year).
Vimeo Fitness is great for hosting video content—but hosting is where it stops. If you’re a fitness professional trying to build a real business, not just stream workouts, then Exercise.com is the best Vimeo Fitness alternative. Vimeo might give you a sleek video player, but it doesn’t give you the infrastructure to train clients, automate your workflows, or scale your offerings.
With Vimeo Fitness, your business is limited to video-on-demand subscriptions, livestreams, and gated content libraries. There’s no built-in workout builder, no client management system, no performance tracking, and no native tools for selling in-person sessions, hybrid memberships, or online coaching. Exercise.com gives you all of that—integrated and ready to go from day one.
Where Vimeo focuses on content delivery, Exercise.com focuses on client results and business growth. Sell recurring training memberships, deliver custom programs, manage check-ins and scheduling, automate retention flows, and track every aspect of a client’s fitness journey—all from one fully branded platform that puts your business front and center.
And unlike Vimeo’s generic experience, Exercise.com includes custom-branded mobile apps for iOS and Android, so your clients interact with your brand every step of the way—not a third-party content player. You’re not just a fitness creator—you’re a business owner, and you need tools that match your ambition.

While Vimeo may appear affordable at first glance, most online fitness businesses that require full video content delivery, branded apps, gated memberships, community engagement, or integrations will eventually need the Enterprise plan, which can run into tens of thousands of dollars per year.
There is no built-in client management, workout delivery system, booking, payments, or gym-specific reporting. That means fitness business owners would need to stack Vimeo with multiple third-party tools to achieve what an all-in-one fitness business platform like Exercise.com offers natively.
Exercise.com was built specifically for fitness professionals and gyms. Unlike Vimeo, which is a general-purpose video platform, Exercise.com includes:
There’s no need to patch together multiple tools. Whether you’re a personal trainer, gym owner, or run an online fitness business, Exercise.com simplifies operations and reduces total cost of ownership compared to Vimeo’s à la carte and enterprise approach.
Vimeo’s basic plans range from $12 to $75 per month when billed annually, but serious fitness businesses typically require Vimeo’s Enterprise plan, which can cost tens of thousands of dollars per year.
No, Vimeo is a video hosting and livestreaming tool. It does not include fitness-specific tools like workout creation, client tracking, or scheduling.
Not realistically. Vimeo lacks core fitness business features like memberships, assessments, payment processing, and CRM. You would need additional tools to fill those gaps.
Yes. Exercise.com offers an all-in-one solution tailored to fitness businesses—unlike Vimeo, which is just a video platform. You get custom apps, automation, scheduling, client management, and more in one place.
