Gym attendance software with QR check-in at the door, and a record of who is actually training

Use a normal USB or Bluetooth QR scanner, or search the member by name. A green tick means a valid plan. If the plan has expired or the member has left, the screen says so with the reason. It does not count as a visit, so your staff can offer a renewal instead of an argument.

It runs on whatever you have at the desk: phone, tablet or PC. There is no machine to buy from us.

Jimwala does not work with fingerprint or face-recognition machines. QR means nothing to buy or maintain and no biometric data to look after. It also means one member cannot be checked in by a friend's finger. If you are weighing the two, our guide on biometric versus QR attendance lays out where each one wins.

Members who have signed in once on their phone can scan a poster at the entrance and check themselves in, with the same rules as the desk. Set up and limits are on the member app page.

Open a member and go to Visits. You see recent check-ins with day and time, including the times they were turned away because their plan had ended. Visits this month and in the last 30 days are counted by training day, so two scans on the same day count once.

A week (Monday to Sunday) counts when the member trains on at least 3 days. The streak is how many weeks in a row did. The 3-day goal is the same for everyone at the moment, and cannot be changed. A 12-week calendar shows one square per day, so someone who has slowed down is easy to spot. You can also see how many days a week they trained over the last 8 weeks, and whether they come in the morning, afternoon or evening. Everything follows India time.

Milestones appear on the member's own page: first visit, 10, 25, 50, 100, 250 and 500 visits, and 4, 8 and 12 weeks in a row.

A member whose calendar has gone empty is usually the one who will not renew. A WhatsApp or a call before the plan ends is cheap. The guide on spotting members about to leave covers what to say.

The Check-in screen has a QR poster button. It makes a printable poster for your entrance, with the steps members follow. If you have members but nobody has checked in yet, Home reminds you to print it, because check-in is what lets you see who has stopped coming and win them back.
