Overview
PushPress offers multiple ways to check members into classes and open gym sessions. This article covers all the options — from the Staff App to the Control Panel — and explains how to override attendance limits when needed.
Who can do this: Admin and Staff
Where: Staff App, Control Panel Dashboard, Schedule → Check-In page
Check-In Method 1: Staff App (Coach-Initiated)
The most common method for class-based gyms. Staff check in members at the start of class.
Open the PushPress Staff App on a phone or tablet.
Navigate to the class.
Tap members to mark them as checked in.
To bulk check in: select all, optionally uncheck any absent members, then tap the bulk action.
To check in individually: tap the three dots next to a member → Check In.
Coaches can also be checked in with a single tap.
Check-In Method 2: Kiosk Mode (Self-Service)
Turn the Staff App into a self-serve check-in kiosk — ideal for open gym or 24-hour access.
In the Staff App, enable Kiosk Mode (requires a password to be set).
The app displays a check-in screen members can use themselves.
Place the device at your front desk or entrance.
Check-In Method 3: Control Panel Dashboard
For a quick overview of the day's classes without opening the full schedule:
Log in to the Control Panel.
On the Dashboard, find the Classes section.
Use the dropdown to select a specific class.
Check in members directly from there.
Check-In Method 4: Schedule → Check-In Page
For a full view of all classes and reservations for the day:
Go to Schedule → Check-In.
View all classes and their current reservations.
Click a class title to open the Class View for detailed management (add reservations, view waitlist, message registrants).
Overriding Class Attendance Caps
If a class has hit its attendance limit but you need to add another member:
Go to Schedule → Check-In (or the Dashboard Classes section).
In the Check-In Report, type the member's name.
Select the class they're checking into.
Confirm the check-in — this overrides the cap restriction.
Troubleshooting
Member is blocked from checking in despite having a valid plan
Check that their plan isn't expired or cancelled
Verify they don't have an unsigned waiver — this blocks check-in until signed
Can't find the Check-In page under Schedule
Confirm your staff role has Schedule access permissions
Some staff roles have limited access — check with your admin
Kiosk Mode is prompting for a password
