# Playbook

> Playbook is a platform where fitness creators launch their own subscription apps, communities, and challenges — and turn their audience into recurring income. Playbook has paid more than $233M to over 2,500 earning creators, and it is free to start.

Playbook is built for fitness creators who monetize their audience: trainers, coaches, and athletes across modalities like HIIT, strength, Pilates, bodybuilding, yoga, and running. Creators keep ownership of their content and subscriber relationships; Playbook provides the app, payments, community, live streaming, challenges, analytics, and marketing tools.
