Pre-built Templates — Complete Guide

One-click demo import for both Gutenberg and Elementor. Six niche-specific full-page layouts (Yoga, Fitness, Gym, Boxing, Karate, Swimming) ready to drop into your gym site. Pick your editor, pick your niche, click Import.

1. Welcome

Pre-built Templates ship a polished starter page for six fitness niches — Yoga, Fitness, Gym, Boxing, Karate, Swimming. Each template is a complete homepage layout with hero, classes, trainers, pricing, testimonials, CTAs and footer — already wired to your Gym Builder data.

2. Two Sources, Same 6 Niches

Because Gym Builder supports two block editors, the templates ship in two complementary plugins:

  • Gym Builder Block Tools — bundles the Gutenberg versions of all 6 templates.
  • WpDreamers Template — a separate plugin bundling the Elementor versions of all 6 templates.

Pick the one matching your editor. You can install both if your site mixes editors.

i
Same niches, different editorThe Yoga template in Gutenberg renders the same hero, same class grid, same trainer cards as the Yoga template in Elementor — but built using Gutenberg blocks vs. Elementor widgets.

3. Gutenberg via Block Tools

3.1 Install

  1. 1Download Gym Builder Block Tools .zip.
  2. 2In WordPress: Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin → Install Now → Activate.
  3. 3A new GB Templates menu appears.

3.2 Import a Gutenberg template

GB Templates admin page showing the 2x3 grid of 6 niche templates
WordPress Admin → GB Templates — the 6 Gutenberg niche templates (Yoga, Fitness, Gym, Boxing, Karate, Swimming).
  1. 1Go to WordPress Admin → GB Templates.
  2. 2You see a 2×3 grid of niche-template thumbnails.
  3. 3Click Preview on any to see it.
  4. 4Click Import. The import runs in 5 steps: theme check, content, media, settings, finalise.
  5. 5When done, click through to the new page in Pages. Edit like any normal WordPress page.
✓
Theme-respecting importThe importer doesn’t switch your theme. Existing theme styles, navigation and footer stay intact. The import only adds page content. Verified against Astra, Twenty Twenty-Five and gym-niche themes.

4. Elementor via WpDreamers Template

4.1 Install

  1. 1Download WpDreamers Template .zip.
  2. 2In WordPress: Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin → Install Now → Activate.
  3. 3Make sure Elementor is also installed and active.
  4. 4A new WpDreamers Template menu appears.

4.2 Import an Elementor template

WpDreamers Template admin page header — Template Library catalog browser for Elementor pages
WordPress Admin → WpDreamers Template — the Elementor catalog browser. Templates are fetched live from demo.gymbuilder.com via the wpdreamers/v1/templates endpoint. Click Refresh to re-query.
  1. 1Go to WordPress Admin → WpDreamers Template.
  2. 2The plugin queries the WpDreamers catalog (remote endpoint at demo.gymbuilder.com/wp-json/wpdreamers/v1/) and shows the library, grouped by product. The plugin does not bundle local templates; if the remote is unreachable, you’ll see a “Could not load templates” message — retry with Refresh.
  3. 3Filter to Gym Builder to see the 6 niche templates.
  4. 4Click Preview on any.
  5. 5Click Import — creates a new Draft Page in WordPress Admin → Pages (not an Elementor template). The page’s _elementor_data meta is pre-populated with the imported layout.
  6. 6Open the page: go to Pages, click the new draft, then Edit with Elementor. Customize and Publish.
i
It’s a page, not a reusable templateDespite the plugin name, imported content lands as a single page post — not an entry in Elementor’s Templates → Saved Templates library. If you want a reusable template, save the imported page as one yourself via Elementor’s “Save as Template” action.

5. The 6 Niche Templates

Both editor sources ship identical content for the same 6 niches:

  • Yoga — calm pastel palette, classes-by-discipline, instructor highlights, meditative imagery.
  • Fitness — bold orange/black, energetic CTAs, group classes + PT promos.
  • Gym — classic gym with equipment galleries, member testimonials, full schedule.
  • Boxing — dark sport palette, knockout-style imagery, fight stats.
  • Karate — martial-arts inspired, belt-rank trainer highlights, dojo schedule.
  • Swimming — blue/aqua palette, lane-time scheduling, pool images.

Each template includes: Hero + “Why choose us” 3-card row + Class grid (auto-populated) + Class routine + Trainer grid (auto-populated) + Pricing + Testimonial + CTA + footer.

6. Customising After Import

Imported pages are 100% editable.

  • Update hero images — replace demos with your gym’s real photos.
  • Update hero headline — change demo headline to your actual value proposition.
  • Class grid auto-fills — published classes appear automatically.
  • Trainer grid auto-fills — same for trainers.
  • Pricing section reads gb_pricing_plan CPT.
  • Colors — change via Customizer (Gutenberg) or Elementor site settings.
  • Footer text — usually a plain text widget, edit directly.

7. FAQ

Q: Do I need both Block Tools and WpDreamers Template?

Only if you use both Gutenberg and Elementor. For single-editor sites, install the matching plugin.

Q: Can I edit the templates before importing?

Import first, then customise inside the editor.

Q: Does the importer overwrite my existing pages?

No. Each import creates a NEW page (Gutenberg) or NEW Elementor template. Existing content untouched.

Q: Are the templates responsive?

Yes — every template is mobile-first across 320px, 768px, 1280px breakpoints.

Q: Can I export an imported template?

Elementor: yes via My Templates → Export. Gutenberg: copy block markup from the editor.

Q: Do I have to set up Gym Builder classes/trainers before importing?

No, but auto-populated grids stay empty until you do. Recommended order: install Gym Builder → add classes & trainers → install templates plugin → import.

Q: Are new templates added over time?

Yes. WpDreamers Template auto-pulls new templates from the WpDreamers server. Block Tools ships new templates with plugin updates.

8. Troubleshooting

Import fails at "media import"

File-system permission issue on wp-content/uploads. Make sure the folder is writable (chmod 755).

Imported page shows blank class grid

You haven’t added classes yet. Add at least one class to gym_builder_class and refresh.

Elementor importer shows "Failed to connect to catalog"

WpDreamers Template queries an external catalog. Causes: outbound HTTPS blocked, catalog server temporarily down, firewall blocking wpdreamers.com.

After import, fonts look wrong

Set the template’s Google Fonts in Elementor Site Settings → Typography.

Hero image is too dark / missing

Some demos use external image hosting. Replace with your own images via the image control.
