Core | How to Check Members into Open Gym Using Barcode Scanner

An alternative to using the Staff App (Kiosk) is a USB bar code scanner connected to a computer

Updated over 2 months ago

For open gym based facilities, you can use QR codes in the member app or barcode cards to check clients into open gym (class check in is not supported). NOTE: Using a scanner attached to a tablet is NOT recommended.

Hardware

You'll need a USB QR code or barcode scanner. These are widely available and can be purchased for around $20. You can find a suitable scanner here.

Cards

In order for the barcode scanning feature to work, you will need to use plastic cards with sequential barcodes between 6 and 12 numbers. These codes must be numerical only. You can order custom barcode cards from a variety of vendors, such as Plastic Card Monster.

Core Set Up

To enable open gym check-ins from your Core dashboard, follow these steps:

  • Navigate to Apps: From the Core dashboard, click on Apps.

  • Open the App Store: In the Apps section, select App Store.

  • Select Staff App: Look for the Staff App and select it.

  • Enable Open Gym Check-ins: Toggle the option for Allow open gym check-ins to turn it on.

This will allow members to check in for open gym sessions via the barcode scanner.

How to Check Members In Using the Member App QR Code or a Barcode

With the barcode scanner installed on a stationary computer/laptop and your Core account open to the dashboard, members attending Open Gym will scan their card or QR Code (Member App) to check into Open Gym.

NOTE: The scanner option for check in does not support class check ins. This includes any Open Gym class types in your Core calendar. The check in uses Core's built in Open Gym for it's check in.
