Manual attendance sheets cause errors and slow down morning rushes. Here's how a QR kiosk at the reception desk changes everything.
Most gyms still use a paper register or a shared Excel sheet for attendance. The issues stack up fast:
A QR code check-in system solves all of this in under two seconds per member.
Each member gets a unique QR code — either printed on their membership card or accessible from their phone. When they arrive at the gym, they scan it at a tablet or phone mounted near the entrance.
The system instantly:
No staff action needed. The front desk staff is free to actually help members instead of ticking names on a list.
You don't need expensive hardware to run QR check-in:
Camera-based (lowest cost) — any Android tablet or phone mounted on a stand at reception. Kilos's built-in camera scanner works with any device that has a decent camera.
Dedicated barcode scanner — a USB or Bluetooth barcode scanner connected to a desktop. Faster scan speed, ideal for large gyms with high morning traffic.
Kiosk mode — a locked-down tablet that only runs the check-in screen. Members can check themselves in without any staff interaction.
Gyms that switch to QR check-in consistently report:
Kilos includes QR check-in in the base plan at ₹699/month. Setup takes under 30 minutes — you mount a tablet, open the check-in URL, and members scan from day one. No additional hardware purchase is required to get started.
