Gym Card Machines – Frequently Asked Questions

Can gym card machines integrate with membership management software?

Many modern terminals integrate with popular gym management systems including Glofox, Mindbody, Gymmaster, PerfectGym, ClubRight and others. We can advise on compatible solutions for your setup and help you streamline payment collection.

How do I handle monthly membership payments?

For recurring membership payments, most gyms use direct debit systems integrated with their gym management software. Card machines are typically used for joining fees, class bookings, PT sessions and retail sales rather than regular monthly subscriptions.

Can I take payments for personal training sessions and classes?

Yes. You can process any payment amount through the card machine, including individual PT sessions, class packages, workshop fees and course payments. Many gyms use portable terminals to take payment at the studio or training area.

What about selling supplements and gym equipment?

Card machines fully support retail sales. You can sell supplements, protein products, sportswear, gym equipment and accessories with the same terminal used for membership and class payments.

Can I get multiple card machines for different areas of my gym?

Yes. Most providers offer multi-terminal packages for gyms with multiple reception areas, studios or retail counters. All terminals link to a single merchant account for simplified accounting.

Do mobile personal trainers need different card machines?

Yes. Mobile personal trainers working at client locations, parks or outdoor spaces need mobile GPRS card machines that work anywhere with mobile phone signal rather than Wi-Fi-dependent terminals.

How long does approval take for gym merchant accounts?

Most gym and fitness businesses are approved within 2-4 hours. Once approved, terminals are delivered within 1-2 business days and can be activated immediately.

What if my gym has multiple locations?

We can arrange centralised billing and reporting for gym chains with multiple locations. Each site gets its own terminals but accounting and settlement can be managed centrally for easier administration.
