MeetScarlet is a gym booking app with your gym's name on it: members book classes, join waitlists, see their membership and check in with a pass on their phone. Our team builds it and publishes it to your own App Store and Google Play accounts for $349 a month.

- Clients book: A spot in a class

- Sell: Unlimited memberships, day passes and packs

- Price: $349 a month, or $499 on MeetScarlet Pro

- Setup: $999 one time, free on yearly billing

- Founding offer: $299 a month for your first 24 months on the MeetScarlet plan with monthly billing, setup included, for our first 10 businesses

- Your app: iPhone, Android and web, under your own store accounts

## What your clients do in the app

Your clients download an app with your name on it from the App Store or Google Play, or open it on the web. In it they can:

- Book classes and see the week's timetable
- Join the waitlist for a full class
- See their membership and what it includes
- Check in at the front desk with the pass in their app
- Pay by card and keep a card on file
- See upcoming bookings and cancel or reschedule inside your rules

## Made for how gyms and fitness studios work

### Memberships that run themselves

Unlimited memberships renew on their own, and a failed renewal is tried again a few days later. Day passes and packs run down as members use them, and members see what they have left in the app.

### Class booking with a waitlist

Set class capacity, and the waitlist moves the next member in when someone cancels, if their plan still covers it, up to a cutoff you set.

### Check-in with a refreshing pass

The pass in the app shows a code that refreshes every 30 seconds and works once, so an old screenshot stops working within about a minute.

### Gift cards in the app

Members buy a gift card in the app and pay on a secure page; the card shows up in their account once the payment clears.

## What we set up for you

For a gym we set up your class timetable and capacities, your memberships, packs and day passes, and how members check in at the desk.

We import your client list from a spreadsheet or CSV export and do the App Store and Google Play submission work in your own developer accounts. About 4 to 6 weeks for the store apps, most of it Apple's enrollment. Your web app's link is ready during setup, and members can book there as soon as you choose your MeetScarlet plan. They keep the same account when the store apps launch.

## When MeetScarlet is not the right fit

- Gyms that need door-access hardware wired to the app. MeetScarlet checks members in at the desk.
- Gyms that sell workout programs and on-demand video in the app; MeetScarlet is for booking and memberships.

## Questions

Straight answers. Anything else, ask us on a demo.

### Can a membership have a minimum term?

Yes. A monthly membership can carry a minimum commitment, such as 12 months, and then either keep renewing or end.

### How do members check in?

They show the pass in their app at the front desk. Its code refreshes every 30 seconds and works once, so an old screenshot stops working within about a minute.

### Can I send announcements to members?

On MeetScarlet Pro you can send push announcements to members who have opted in.

### Can I sell day passes?

Yes. A day pass comes ready as a starting plan, and visitors buy it in the app.

### How much does a branded app for a gym or fitness studio cost?

$349 a month, or $499 a month on MeetScarlet Pro, which adds 20 staff logins, push announcements, and text reminders for appointments (coming soon). Setup is $999 on monthly billing and free on yearly billing.
