Pre-built Templates

Six complete home pages for a gym or studio — Yoga, Fitness, Gym, Boxing, Karate and Swimming — built in Elementor. Import one, and you get a draft page that already shows your own classes, timetable, trainers and plans.

What it does

The plugin is called WpDreamers Template. It adds a template library to your WordPress admin with ready-made Elementor pages from WpDreamers. The Gym Builder tab holds six designs, one for each kind of studio.

Building with the block editor instead?

The same six designs for the WordPress block editor come with Block Tools, under GB Templates. This guide covers the Elementor versions.

Before you start

Install and switch on

  1. Go to Plugins → Add Plugin, click Upload Plugin, choose the wpdreamers-template zip file and click Install Now.
  2. Click Activate.
  3. Enter your license key when asked.
  4. A new WpDreamers Template item appears in the admin menu on the left.

The template library

Go to WpDreamers Template in the admin menu. The page lists the designs by product: open the Gym Builder tab (the number next to it is how many designs it holds).

The six designs

All six are full home pages with the same building blocks: a large opening section, short introductions, class cards, the weekly timetable, a countdown, trainer cards, plans with prices, testimonials and a closing call to action. Each has its own colors, fonts and photos, and one extra section:

Import a design

Importing makes a new draft page. Nothing is published and none of your pages change.

  1. Move the pointer over the design's card and click Import. A window opens on the Required plugin step.
  2. Check that every plugin in the list says Active. If one is not, click the button next to it (for example Activate Gym Builder). Then click Continue.
  3. On the System check step, look at your server's limits next to the recommended ones, then click Start import.
  4. Wait while it imports: it fetches the design, creates the page and copies the pictures, with a progress bar. Keep the window open until it finishes.
  5. When it says Template imported., click Edit in Elementor to start changing the page, or View page to see it first.
Import window for the Yoga Template on the Required plugin step: Gym Builder and GB Elementor Widgets both Active, with Cancel and Continue buttons
Step 1, Required plugin: both plugins are active, so Continue can be clicked.

If a plugin is missing, the window tells you what to do and Continue stays grey until it is active. GB Elementor Widgets is not on WordPress.org, so it cannot be installed from here: upload it yourself under Plugins → Add Plugin, then open the window again.

The System check step: PHP Version, WordPress Version, PHP Memory Limit, Max Execution Time, Upload Max Filesize, Post Max Size and Max Input Vars, each with Current, Recommended and an OK status, and a Start import button
Step 2, System check. A value shown as Low does not stop the import.

If a value is Low

You can still import. Large pictures or a short time limit can make the import slow or stop it part-way, so ask your web host to raise the values shown as Low to the recommended ones. A limit your host has switched off shows as Unlimited and counts as OK.

After importing

You will find the new page under Pages as a draft with the design's name (for example "Yoga Template").

Before you publish:

  1. Open the page with Edit in Elementor.
  2. Change the headings, texts and photos to your own. Every section is a normal Elementor widget — see Elementor Widgets for each widget's settings.
  3. Click the countdown and set its Target date + time to your own event. The import sets it to 30 days after the day you import (or the number of days the design comes with), in your site's time zone, so it is counting down when you first open the page; once that date passes it only shows "The wait is over."
  4. On Yoga, Boxing or Karate without the Personal Session add-on, delete the session booking section.
  5. Click Publish in Elementor.

Tip

To make it your home page, go to Settings → Reading, choose A static page and pick the new page as the homepage.

Questions

Will importing change my existing pages?

No. Each import creates one new draft page. Nothing else changes, and nothing is published until you publish it.

Can I import the same design twice?

Yes. Each import makes another new draft page, with its own copy of the pictures. Delete the drafts you do not need.

Is the imported page saved as an Elementor template?

No, it is a normal page. To reuse the layout elsewhere, save it as a template in Elementor yourself.

The page shows no classes, trainers or plans.

Those sections show what is in Gym Builder. Add and publish classes (with class times), trainers and membership plans, then reload the page.

Do I need Elementor Pro?

The plugin only checks for Elementor itself. The designs are built from the Gym Builder Elementor widgets and a little HTML.

Where are the block editor versions?

In the Block Tools add-on, under GB Templates. See Block Tools.
