GymAxess
GymAxess combines door-access hardware and software for gyms and studios.
What GymAxess is
GymAxess combines door-access hardware and software for gyms and studios. Its plug-and-play setup connects readers and locks to a hub, then uses the gym’s member management software to determine whether a member can enter at a given time. Members can use Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, QR codes, barcodes, fobs, or cards; the site says an app is not required. Wallet users receive an email with instructions and a link to add a membership card. Members must choose a physical or digital card and cannot use both at once. The service is listed for Android, iOS, and web, with membership validation, scheduled access rules, and multi-location access. GymAxess says Apple Wallet passes are bound to a personal iCloud account. The FAQ says Apple Wallet cards work on iPhone 6 and later and WatchOS 4 and later, and reception staff can manually check in members if an iPhone or Apple Watch runs out of battery. A Door License is €10 a month, and a Location License is €50 a month. Reader hardware costs €300, paid once, and a hub costs €725, paid once.
