24/7 Gym Software with Door AccessOpen twenty-four hours. Staffed about eight.
A 24/7 gym needs member access to be a live function of membership status, not a code someone wrote on a whiteboard. Cinch ties entry to an active, paid membership: the credential works while the membership is current and stops when it lapses, a payment fails, or the member cancels — without anyone changing a code.

Why does 24/7 access need to be connected to billing?
Because the failure mode of a disconnected system is a member who stopped paying three months ago and still walks in at 2am. When access is driven by membership status, a failed card or a cancellation revokes entry automatically, and reinstates it the moment the member updates their card.
The manual version of this — pulling a list of lapsed members and deleting their codes by hand — is a job nobody does weekly, which is why almost every unstaffed gym is quietly carrying non-paying members through its doors.
What do most 24/7 gyms pay for, and what can be collapsed?
The common stack is a member-management system, a separate access-control subscription, an email tool, a CRM, and a website — four to six bills that all describe the same members. Cinch is one system covering booking, memberships, billing, marketing, the member app, and the access logic, on one bill.
| What it does | Typical monthly cost |
|---|---|
| Member / booking software | $229 |
| Access-control subscription | $99 |
| CRM + sales pipeline | $99 |
| Email marketing | $89 |
| Website + hosting | $79 |
| Total | $595 |
Representative figures for a single-location operator, not a quote for your gym. Your actual bills vary — we'll total yours line by line on a demo. Cinch is $249/mo flat for all of the above. Access-control HARDWARE is separate and stays yours either way.
Does unstaffed access mean unmonitored?
No. Every entry is logged against a named member with a timestamp, which is a better record than a staffed front desk usually keeps. Pair that with cameras on the entrance and you can answer 'who was in the building at 3am' precisely, which is what your insurer will eventually ask.
