Our #1 Differentiator
24/7 Gym Door Access Control
Member stops paying, door stops opening. Automatic. No manual intervention. No chasing people for expired fobs.
Free tier up to 50 members. No credit card required.
The Problem With Every Other System
Key fobs get shared
A member gives their fob to a friend. That friend gives it to their friend. Now people are using your facility without paying, and you have no idea who's actually in the building.
Door codes get posted online
You put a keypad on the door. Within a week the code is in a group chat. You change it — now you have to notify 200 people. Half of them don't see the message and call you at midnight.
Someone stops paying but keeps coming in
Their payment fails. You don't notice for 3 weeks. Their fob still works. You're running a charity and don't even know it. Deactivating a fob means finding the fob in the system, if you even have access to the panel.
The hardware costs more than your first month's rent
Access control companies quote $5,000+ for fob systems with proprietary hardware, annual contracts, and per-door licensing fees. For a small gym, that's insane.
How ManageMemberships Fixes All of This
Members use a custom branded app on their phone. No fobs to lose, no keypads with codes that get shared on Facebook.
Member Signs Up
3am, no staff needed. They pay, sign waivers, and get door entry — zero human intervention.
Scan to Enter
Member scans QR code or uses the app at your entrance. System verifies active membership in real-time.
Automatic Enforcement
Payment fails? Access revokes. Card updated? Access restores. You don't touch anything.
Hardware That Doesn't Break the Bank
Hub Unit
Raspberry Pi controller that manages your entire facility
Per Door Controller
ESP32 relay module at each door. Works with your existing mag locks.
Compare that to the $5,000+ fob systems most access control companies quote. Our hardware costs less than one month of their annual contract.
