At peak hours, the front desk at a busy gym becomes a queue. Members wait to show a card, staff type names into a system, and nobody is free to welcome the new member who just walked in. Face scan check-in takes that queue away.
How it works
Members check in with a face scan at the entrance, or by scanning a QR code from their Fitnow app. Their visit is recorded against their membership automatically, so attendance is always up to date without anyone typing it in.
Why gyms like it
- No cards to lose or forget. Members walk in with nothing but themselves.
- No queue at the desk. Check-in takes a second, even at 6pm.
- Accurate attendance. Every visit is logged, so reports on busy hours and member activity are real.
- A free front desk. Staff can sell, answer questions and look after new members instead of scanning cards.
Add access control
If you want check-in to open the door as well, access control is available for your entrances. It is a good fit for gyms with long opening hours or quiet periods without staff.
QR check-in for everyone else
Not every business needs a camera at the door. Studios and wellness centres can use QR check-in from the member app, which records attendance in the same way.
