How to Create a Family/Shared Membership

2 min read Updated 17 days ago

GymMaster supports shared memberships, which are useful when one membership is purchased by a primary member, and then shared with others.
A common use case is a family, where one parent purchases the membership, and the other family members are added as shared members.

Setup a Shared (Family) Membership

  • Go to : Settings > Membership Types
  • Add Membership Type
  • Under the Membership Details, tick the box Shared Membership
  • Once enabled, you’ll be able to set :
    • Additional Member Limit – how many extra members can share this membership.
    • Additional Member Price – the cost per additional member (can be set to $0.00 if you don’t charge extra)


Using the Family Membership

When this membership type is assigned to a member, an “Add Member” button will appear.

  • Use this to add the other family members who will share the membership.
  • All shared members will then receive the same membership benefits.
