## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## Gym Scraper - Google Maps Fitness Studios, CrossFit & Yoga

Scrape **gyms** from Google Maps by location, niche, and search terms.

For: fitness equipment sales, supplement DTC, gym management software, fitness app onboarding, personal trainer lead gen.

### Why this scraper

- Pure HTTP — no Playwright, no browser, no API key from your side
- Up to ~20 places per page, paginated
- Returns full attributes (services, payments, accessibility, parking)
- Geolocates by country code

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `searchTerm` | String | What to search. Default: `gyms`. Override for niches: `crossfit gyms`. |
| `location` | String | City, state, ZIP, or neighborhood. Example: `Brooklyn, NY`. |
| `queries` | Array | (Advanced) Full pre-built Google Maps queries. Overrides searchTerm/location. |
| `maxPages` | Integer | Pagination depth (default 3 = ~60 places). |
| `country` | String | Two-letter country code: `us`, `br`, `uk`, `ca`. |
| `language` | String | Two-letter language code: `en`, `pt`, `es`. |
| `maxRetries` | Integer | Retries on upstream block. Default 3. |

### Output

```json
{
  "rank": 1,
  "name": "Example Gym Name",
  "address": "100 Main St, City, ST 10000, United States",
  "phone": "+15551230000",

  "longitude": -74.0,
  "categories": ["Gym", "Sample category"],
  "primaryCategory": "Gym",
  "claimed": true,
  "workStatus": "Open · Closes 9 PM",
  "placeId": "ChIJexample",
  "mapsUrl": "https://www.google.com/maps/place/...",

}
````

### Pricing

$0.005 per place. Pay-per-result — you only pay for actual gyms returned.

### Limitations

- Google Maps returns ~20 places per page. Some niches with very narrow keywords return less.
- Place data reflects what Google has indexed; recently-opened gyms may not appear.
- Email is not returned (Google Maps does not expose business email). Use a website-emails scraper as a second step.

### SEO keywords

gym scraper, fitness studio leads, gym directory, fitness marketing.
