However, modern fitness complexes and multi-sport clubs attract diverse demographics—from busy working parents to senior citizens, corporate teams, and aspiring junior athletes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about setting up multi-tier club memberships and automated ERP access.
How does GymSmart handle Family Membership turnstile check-ins?
Under a single Family plan, GymSmart registers individual biometric facial profiles or fingerprints for each family member (Primary, Spouse, and Kids). When any family member punches in, the system validates the shared plan and grants instant entry.
How are Corporate memberships managed and transferred?
Corporate packages are billed to the enterprise with full GST tax invoicing. If an employee leaves the company, the HR administrator can transfer the membership pass to a new incoming employee in 1 click inside GymSmart.
Can members pause or freeze their membership during travel or exams?
Yes. GymSmart supports automated Membership Freeze rules (e.g. up to 30 days/year for annual members). During the freeze period, turnstile access is paused and the expiry date is extended automatically.
How do NRI Vacation passes work for overseas visitors?
NRI visitors can onboard digitally via smartphone verification. Gyms can offer flexible 1-month or 3-month all-access multi-sport passes without locking them into rigid 1-year contracts.
Can student discount concessions be restricted by age or valid ID?
Yes. GymSmart lets staff upload and verify student ID cards, setting custom age parameters (e.g. Under 21) to prevent non-students from claiming discount pricing.
Can I create promo coupons and festival discount codes?
Yes. GymSmart includes a master Coupon and Discount Engine where you can set flat or percentage discounts with start/end validity dates and usage caps for festive marketing campaigns.
