Gyms & fitness studios

Open 24/7. Staffed when you choose.

Members scan a QR code at the door, verify their phone, and get in — no fobs to buy or deactivate, no front desk at 5am. Memberships end on their own date, guests come on a member's pass, and every check-in is on record.

Sound familiar?

Fobs get lost. Codes get shared. Lapsed members still get in.

  • Every lost fob is another $10 and another trip to the admin screen.
  • The door code is on a sticky note in half your members' cars.
  • Members who stopped paying in March still walk in at 6am.
  • Someone has to be at the desk for the doors to open.

How it works

Live in one sitting.

01

Print the QR sign

Put it up at the door. No app, no hardware to start.

02

A member scans

Phone camera, any phone. Nothing to install.

03

Phone verified

A text code the first time — then remembered for 90 days, one tap.

04

Door opens

They get the keypad code, or a smart lock opens itself.

Made for gyms

The door knows who's paid.

Membership end dates

Give each member a start and end date — trial weeks, monthly, annual. The door stops opening for them the day it passes.

Free · up to 25 on Free

Guest passes from members

A member texts a friend a pass for the day. The guest checks in on their own phone, and you see who brought whom.

Growth

Your hours, per door

Around the clock, or only while staffed — any windows you choose, per door. Make a door members-only, or let walk-ins verify and come in too.

Free

Coach and staff hours

Trainers and front-desk staff clock in by scanning the door QR — or the changing QR on a tablet at the desk. Hours per person and a CSV for payroll.

Growth

Check-in log

Every check-in and refusal, with the last 4 digits of the phone and whether they're a member. Full history and export on Growth.

Free · full history on Growth

Smart locks

Connect the Wi-Fi lock you have — Yale, Schlage, Kwikset, August and more. Each member gets their own code that expires on its own.

Pro · $7/door/month

Questions gyms ask

Does it work with the keypad we already have?

Yes. QR Gate hands your keypad code to verified people — nothing to install at the door. Keys and the keypad keep working as before.

Do people need an app or an account?

No. They scan with the phone camera and verify their number with a text code once. The phone is remembered for 90 days.

Does it connect to my billing software?

Not directly yet. Import members from a CSV and set end dates, or switch a member off when they stop paying — it takes effect on their next scan.

Can members share their code with a friend?

With a keypad, everyone shares one code — change it as often as you like, and members always get the current one from the QR. With a smart lock, each member gets their own code that expires on its own.

Do you count how many people are inside?

No — we see who came in, not who left. The log shows every check-in.

What does it cost?

Free for one door and up to 25 members. Growth ($29/month) adds unlimited members, guest passes and the staff clock; Pro ($79/month) adds smart locks at $7 per door.
