Why does the in and out time matter?
Out times show real session length and peak occupancy, which matters for floor staffing, ladies-only hours and, in the UAE, for Ramadan timetables when the busiest hours move to late evening.

Check-in
Gym check-in that shows who is in, and who is due
GetGymPOS gym check-in records each member's in time and out time for the day at the front desk. The visit is saved on the member's profile beside their package, end date and payment status, so the desk can welcome a member and spot an expired or unpaid membership in the same glance.
- Definition Member check-in
- Check-in is the moment a member is recorded as entering the gym. GetGymPOS stores the date, the time in and the time out for each member, building an attendance history that shows how often each person trains and when the floor is busiest.

What it looks like at the desk
An example of the check-in screen with figures for a typical gym. Switch the country to see local currency.
Mock-up for illustration; the real screen follows the same fields.
Can check-in flag expired members?
The member's subscription status and end date are on the same profile the desk opens to check them in, so an expired or unpaid membership is visible before the in time is stamped.
What hardware do I need?
Any browser device at the desk. A barcode scanner speeds up finding a member from their printed card. Turnstile and door-controller integrations are not built in; ask on a demo about your hardware. See the hardware guide.
Can I see attendance reports?
Yes: attendance per member and per day. Use it to spot members who have stopped coming before they cancel.

Saying no up front saves you a bad surprise after you switch.

Check-in: questions
How does gym check-in work in GetGymPOS?
The desk opens the member's profile and records the in time; later the out time. The visit is saved to the member's attendance history.
Can members check themselves in with a QR code?
Not today. Check-in is done by staff at the desk. Printed member cards with a barcode speed up the lookup with a scanner.
Does it work with turnstiles?
Turnstile control is not built in. Some gyms keep their access system and use GetGymPOS for billing, retail and attendance; ask on a demo.
Can I see who is in the gym right now?
Members checked in today without an out time are the ones still on the floor.
Can check-in show unpaid balances?
Yes. The profile shows subscription status, end date and payment status next to the check-in.
Does attendance work across locations?
Yes. On Multi-Club, each location records its own attendance and reports can be run per location.
Can I export attendance?
Reports can be exported to spreadsheet formats for your own analysis.
Do I need internet for check-in?
Yes. GetGymPOS is hosted, so the desk device needs a connection. In areas with power or line cuts, a phone hotspot or UPS-backed router keeps the desk working.
