Discount / Promo Codes

Discount / Promo codes can be a valuable tool for promoting your gym and attracting new sign-ups.
With discount codes, you can offer limited-time special offers or provide exclusive memberships to affiliated organizations. Prospective members can enter these codes in the member portal or provide them to staff to receive a discount on a new membership.
You can choose to use discount codes both in the member portal and on-site, or restrict them to on-site use only. This can be useful for implementing discounts like student discounts that require the presentation of an ID to staff.
