Payment Processing for Gyms & Fitness Studios
Automated membership billing with $0 processing fees. Network Offset Pricing means fitness businesses pay nothing to process every charge — with smart retry and dunning to reduce involuntary churn.
What Payment Processing Costs Your Gym
Between failed recurring charges, flat-rate fees on small transactions, and systems that were not built for membership billing, most fitness businesses lose more to payment processing than they realize.
Failed Payments Drive Membership Churn
Expired cards and declined charges silently cancel memberships. Gyms lose 10-15% of recurring members annually to involuntary churn from failed payments — revenue that disappears without the member even deciding to leave.
Flat-Rate Fees Eat Low-Ticket Transactions
Drop-in classes, day passes, and smoothie bar purchases run $20-50. At flat-rate pricing, the per-transaction minimum fee takes a disproportionate bite out of these small-ticket sales, compressing already thin margins.
POS Not Built for Class & Session Billing
Generic payment terminals cannot handle class pack deductions, session-based billing, or per-visit charges. Staff resort to manual workarounds that slow down check-in and create billing errors.
Multiple Revenue Streams, One Rigid System
Memberships, class packs, personal training sessions, retail sales, and juice bar purchases all need different payment handling. Most processors force everything into one flat-rate model that ignores how fitness businesses actually operate.

“The automatic card updater alone paid for itself. We used to lose 20+ members per month to expired cards. Now it updates automatically and our churn dropped significantly.”
