Make the switch
Optimize Gym Access Control
Fitness centers have unique operational challenges that, if left unchecked, can make or break even the most successful business. Managing members and controlling access to your facility are often at the top of the list because they affect daily operations, revenue and profitability, safety and security, and long-term liability—especially when unauthorized individuals find ways to gain access without paying. Kindoo has a better way to manage fitness center access with greater accuracy and fewer hassles while helping reduce access-management costs. Here’s how…
Eliminate Physical Credentials and Membership Sharing
Kindoo eliminates the need and expense of physical membership credentials. No more fobs, membership cards, barcodes, or PIN codes that can be shared, stolen, lost, or passed to unauthorized users. Instead, members use their smartphones as unique credentials, helping reduce unauthorized access because sharing access would generally require giving another person their phone, which is highly unlikely even among close family members and friends. And if they do, Kindoo’s software has algorithms designed to track access sharing. It’s the perfect alternative to facial or handprint recognition systems, which can be expensive and difficult to implement.
Plus, you can eliminate the need to purchase, stock, and track membership credentials, reducing inventory costs and the time for your staff to manage physical credentials.

An Easier, More Cost-Efficient Way to Manage Member Access
How much does it cost for you to manage access for each member every month? With Kindoo, you can automate member-access onboarding and revocation when membership status changes with little or no staff interaction for as little as $0.70 per active user per month. The platform provides a few different cost structures to manage member access that allow you to easily adjust to seasonal changes—such as high membership enrollments in January and drop-offs during peak summer and vacation months.
Kindoo user seats can be purchased in bulk and reassigned to different members when needed. When one member leaves, a new member can be assigned their seat without purchasing an additional user seat.
Fitness centers can purchase Kindoo user seats based on their active-user needs. Here are a few examples of monthly user-license costs:
| User Licenses | User Seat Cost | Total Monthly License Cost |
|---|---|---|
| 500 | $0.70 each | $350 |
| 1,000 | $0.70 each | $700 |
| 1,500 | $0.70 each | $1,050 |
Fitness centers with larger membership bases can contact Kindoo for customized pricing.
An Easier, Automate Access for Classes and Reserved Rooms
Kindoo makes it easy for members and guests to gain access to reserved classes or workout rooms for special events, with access limited by time or location. The one-time pass can be limited to the scheduled class time and reserved room or area. This gives fitness centers an opportunity to serve additional class participants with less manual access administration.
Guest instructors can also receive a one-time smartphone pass that provides temporary access to teach a specific scheduled class. Members’ guests can use a one-time pass without the member being present or requiring assistance from a staff member.
Reduce Administration and Labor Costs
By automating many membership-centric manual processes, fitness centers can:
- Reduce labor costs for front-desk personnel
- Streamline member access onboarding and revocation
- Simplify guest access administration
- Automate access tied to class schedules and room reservations
- Eliminate physical credential management
- Support extended hours of operation with less staff involvement
This allows personnel to focus on member services and other revenue-generating activities. Kindoo’s automated access-management capabilities can help reduce manual administration and associated overhead costs.
Maintain Security 24/7/365
Kindoo supports controlled member access during staffed and unstaffed hours, including nights, weekends, and holidays. Members and authorized guests can gain access during their authorized access periods using their smartphones, providing a highly positive user experience that can help generate higher membership renewal rates. Maintaining security and safety is essential to protect your investment and business, while providing members with greater confidence that access is being controlled and monitored. Kindoo also does not require fitness centers to collect fingerprints or facial scans for access, helping address biometric privacy concerns. Security features include:
256-bit encryption to protect mobile credential communications
Smartphone credentials that help reduce access sharing
The ability to remotely grant, update, or revoke access
Access permissions based on area, date, time, and membership level
Detailed audit trails and access-event notifications
Secure staff offices, equipment rooms, storage areas, and premium amenities
No requirement to collect fingerprints or facial scans for access
