Class & Booking Pack vs. Club Visit Pack

2 min read Updated 17 days ago

A Pack is a type of membership that includes a fixed number of uses. This is GymMaster’s modern take on the old-school punch card.
When creating a new membership type, packs can be selected under the Membership Basis.

There are two types of concession packs in GymMaster:


Pack Type How it Works
Class & Booking Packs Used with the booking system. A concession is deducted when the member checks in to a booked class or service
Club Visit Packs A concession is deducted each time the member enters the facility, regardless of bookings

Class & Booking Pack

  • A concession is only used when the member is checked in to a booking.
  • As soon as a member books a class or service, that spot is marked as reserved from their pack. This stops them from overbooking—even though the concession won’t actually be deducted until check-in.
  • If you want to allow members to book more sessions than their pack has left, head to: Settings > Advanced Configuration > Bookings > Allow Concession Packs to be Overbooked

Note: If your facility isn’t using bookings, this type of pack won’t suit. Go with a Club Visit Pack instead.


Club Visit Pack

  • Works with key fob scans, manual check-ins, or check-ins via the Member App.
  • Booking check-ins won’t use this pack – the visit needs to be logged as a facility entry.

Can I Use Both?

Not exactly – GymMaster doesn’t currently support a pack that deducts for both visits and bookings directly.
However, there is a workaround:

  • You can use a Club Visit Pack that includes a benefit for free bookings.
  • Then, instead of checking in to the booking itself, check in the member directly.

GymMaster can be set to automatically check in the booking too; Settings > Advanced Configuration > Bookings > Auto Check-in time-frame

This setup works well if your members typically enter the facility as part of a booking.
