One system for check-in, attendance, and door access

Disconnected access tools create extra front-desk work and make it harder to manage who’s coming in, when, and why. Glofox connects check-in, class attendance, door access, memberships, and billing data in one platform. Members can check in with a barcode in the app or through a self-service kiosk, while supported access control partners help manage facility entry based on your access rules. Visit and access logs give your team clearer visibility into who came in, when, and where.
Step 1

Barcode check-in built into your member app

Give members a check-in pass they can carry in their pocket. With barcode self-check-in in the member app, members can scan in quickly at the front desk or kiosk, helping reduce reliance on physical key tags or fobs. Biometric login adds convenience, while visit history and access logs help your team see when members check in.

  • A unique barcode for every member, generated automatically in the app
  • Fast self-scan check-in that keeps your front desk moving
  • No physical key tags or fobs to buy, print, or replace
  • Every scan logged to the member profile and visit history

 

Step 2

Class attendance and self check-in kiosk from the Glofox Pro app

Take attendance the way that fits your studio. Staff can check members into classes from the Glofox Pro app, or you can set up a self check-in kiosk so members sign themselves in on arrival. Attendance, no-shows, and late cancellations are captured in reporting, giving your team a clearer view of who showed up and how full each class was.

  • Check members into classes from the Glofox Pro staff app
  • Turn any tablet into a branded self check-in kiosk
  • Automatic attendance tracking feeds class performance reporting
  • Apply no-show and late-cancel penalties to protect class spots

 

Step 3

Door access through trusted hardware partners

Run a 24/7 gym or an unstaffed studio without handing out keys. Glofox connects to leading access control hardware so members open doors straight from the member app, and you control exactly who gets in. Add door access through Kisi or Gantner right in the Glofox member app.

  • Kisi door access available right inside the member app
  • Integrations with Innertelligence and Passport Technologies
  • Support staffed, unstaffed, and 24/7 access models

 

Step 4

Access tied to live membership and payment status

Stop revenue leaking through your front door. Glofox links entry to each member’s real-time membership and payment status, so only members in good standing get in. When a membership lapses due to non-payment, freezes, or expires, access is removed automatically, no manual list to maintain.

  • Grant access only to active members in good standing
  • Automatically block entry on failed payments, lapses, and freezes
  • Failed-payment retries and card updater recover revenue in the background
  • Restrict entry by membership type, class credits, or booking

 

 

Step 5

Full visibility into every check-in and entry

See who is visiting your studio, how often they show up, and how they engage over time. Glofox brings visits, attendance, check-ins, and access activity into member profiles and reports, giving your team a clearer view of member behavior, class demand, and access patterns across your business.

  • View member visits, booking activity, and access logs from the member profile
  • Use door-level access detail to see where members entered, where supported
  • Track attendance, visits, no-shows, and late cancellations in activity reporting
  • Real-time visibility across every location from one dashboard

Access control and check-in FAQs

What is gym access control software?

Gym access control software manages who can enter your facility and when, by linking your doors and check-in points to your membership system. With Glofox, access is tied to each member’s live membership and payment status, so only members in good standing get in. It connects barcode check-in in the member app, self check-in kiosks, class attendance, and door access through hardware partners in one platform.

How do members check in with Glofox?

Members can check in by scanning the unique barcode in your branded member app, or by signing themselves in at a self check-in kiosk on a tablet. Staff can also check members into classes directly from the Glofox Pro app. Every check-in is recorded automatically against the member’s profile.

Can Glofox control door access for a 24/7 or unstaffed gym?

Yes. Glofox integrates with door access hardware partners including Gantner and Kisi so members can open doors from the member app. This supports staffed, unstaffed, and 24/7 access models, with entry granted based on membership and payment status.

Does access stop automatically when a payment fails?

Yes. Glofox ties entry to real-time membership and payment status. When a payment fails or a membership lapses or freezes, access updates automatically, with no manual list to maintain. Automated payment retries and the card updater work in the background to recover revenue before access is affected.

Can I see who entered my gym and which door they used?

Yes. Every barcode scan, kiosk check-in, class attendance, and door entry is logged automatically. You get full access logs and visit history on every member profile, including which door each member used, plus attendance reporting to track engagement and members at risk of churning.
