## Less front desk chaos. More time on the floor.

### Peak hours without a line at the door

Clients check in with one tap in your app or a barcode scan, and they're in. No manual sign-ins, no front desk bottleneck at 5pm.

### Offer 24/7 access without staffing it

Connect Kisi door access and members let themselves in with a tap in your app. Built-in geofencing confirms they're at the door, their membership is checked on the way in, and your early mornings run without another hire.

### Every member's details, the moment they walk in

Staff-side visibility surfaces membership status, remaining sessions, flags, and notes at check-in so your team can wish someone a happy birthday, answer a billing question, or know about an injury before class, all without switching tabs or keeping other clients waiting.

### Clients book themselves

With mobile app booking, clients can see the schedule and reserve classes, PT sessions, and open gym themselves. No calls to return and no schedules to manage on someone else's behalf.

One platform. Multiple revenue streams.

Memberships + open gym

Recurring revenue with flexible membership tiers and pack options that fit your business model.

Personal training + recovery

Package and sell PT sessions, track usage, and attach recovery add-ons at booking or check-in.

Retail + e-commerce

Sell gym branded merchandise and other products in-person and online with a built-in POS.

Challenges + communities

Run challenges with leaderboards and group chat that keep clients engaged between visits, and sell programs and community events on top of memberships.

## Finally, software that gets how a gym actually works.

### Personal training + privates

When PT and group classes live in different systems, double bookings happen, package tracking falls to spreadsheets, and trainers are constantly checking what's on the calendar. Arketa puts both in one calendar. Sell sessions, track packages, assign trainers, and share client progress without the back-and-forth.

### Group classes, challenges + programs

Running a full class schedule is one thing. Adding seasonal challenges or multi-week programs on top usually means more spreadsheets and more admin. Arketa manages your schedule, challenges, and programs in one place so you can run more without it costing more time.

### Membership tiers

Most software gives you a few membership templates and calls it flexibility. If you run off-peak tiers, open gym bundles, or packages that combine classes with recovery, Arketa handles the actual structure of your business, not a simplified version of it.

Since moving to Arketa, our business has grown dramatically. We've seen an increase in the amount of trainer usage and average class bookings per day. Our class utilization has grown dramatically, so we're heading in the right direction and Arketa's helping.

## Frequently asked questions

### What's the best management software for a gym?

For boutique and training gyms, the best fit runs memberships, classes, personal training, and open gym access in one system, with fast check-in and door access built in. Arketa does all of it, built by a team with 500,000+ hours working in gyms and studios.

### Can I offer 24/7 gym access without staffing the front desk?

Yes. Arketa integrates with Kisi door access: when a client checks in through your app, the door unlocks, with their membership checked on the way in. Off-hours access runs itself.

### How does client check-in work?

Clients scan a barcode from your app or a printed card and they're checked in, in under a second. Your team sees membership status, remaining sessions, and notes the moment someone walks in, and any USB barcode scanner works.

### Can I manage personal training and group classes in one system?

Yes. PT sessions and classes live on one calendar with one client list. Sell session packs, track usage automatically, assign trainers, and keep progress notes on the client's profile instead of a spreadsheet.

### Can I run different membership tiers, like off-peak or open gym only?

Yes. Build membership tiers around how your gym actually works: off-peak pricing, open gym bundles, packages that mix classes with PT or recovery, each with its own billing cycle and booking rules.
