Entry 001 — the pass
CityGym Access Pass · Bengaluru

Pay for the workout.
Not the year.

One pass, every partner gym in your city. You spend credits when you actually turn up — and the gym is paid ₹49 for every verified visit, the month it happens.

Entry 002 — the problem
What we are solving

A year of gym,
bought in January.

The standard Indian gym membership is an annual contract, paid upfront. You commit twelve months in one afternoon — before you know whether you will still be in that neighbourhood, that job, or that mood in April.

If you move, travel, get injured, or simply stop going, none of it comes back. The gym has your year. You have a keycard.

Annual membership ₹18,000 · once
CityGym credits ₹899 · when you want it

Illustrative. ₹18,000 stands in for a typical metro annual plan; ₹899 is the real price of a CityGym Starter pass. The point is the shape of the commitment, not the exact figure.

You over-buy

One gym, one year, one neighbourhood. Change any of the three and the membership stops being worth what you paid.

Gyms sit empty

A treadmill at 2pm on a Tuesday earns nothing. Off-peak capacity in tier-2 and tier-3 cities is real, paid for, and unused.

Neither side can move

The member can't leave without losing money. The gym can't fill the gap without discounting the members it already has.

Entry 003 — how it works
One scan, three things happen

A check-in, end to end.

This is a genuine sequence — each step depends on the one before it, which is why it is numbered.

Scan the code at the desk

The gym's screen shows a code that changes every 60 seconds. Scan it, or type it if the basement has no light and the camera gives up — the manual path is not a fallback we tacked on, it is a first-class route.

Credits come off your balance

One credit at a budget gym, two at an AC mid-range gym. The cost is shown before you scan, never after — nobody should be surprised by a two-credit deduction.

The gym is credited, same second

₹49 per credit lands on the gym's statement the moment the check-in is verified. They see it that day and are paid on the 5th of the next month, itemised line by line.

Entry 004 — the credit system
What a visit costs

Two tiers. No fine print.

Credits are the only currency in the product. There is no separate wallet, no surge pricing, and no per-gym rate card you have to memorise.

Budget gym

Free weights, cardio, the essentials. The backbone of the network.

1 creditgym earns ₹49

AC mid-range gym

Air-conditioned, better equipment, usually a trainer on the floor.

Growth and Pro are shown because the multi-city ladder is real and priced. Their scope switches on as we open the second city — we would rather show you the rung than pretend it does not exist.

Entry 006 — trust
Nine gates, in a frozen order

Every check-in is checked.
In the same order. Every time.

A shared pass only works if it cannot be shared. These run on the server, in this exact sequence, and the order is deliberate — it decides which reason you are given when two are true at once.

Checked last, so topping up would actually let you in
insufficient_credits

If a gate says no, no credit was deducted.

Every refusal screen says that sentence, and the server states it on the wire as well. Credits are checked last on purpose: telling someone to top up and then, after they have paid, that the gym was never in their plan is a refund-generating bug, not a rule.

Entry 007 — for gym owners
The other side of the ledger

Fill the empty hours.
Get paid for every one.

You keep your own members, your own pricing and your own floor. CityGym sends you people during the hours you were paying for anyway — and pays you per verified visit, not per promise.

The cap protects you too

Five visits per member per month means nobody can use a ₹899 pass as an unlimited membership at your gym. The economics stay yours.

Staff see names, never money

Desk staff verify check-ins and nothing else. Earnings, statements and bank details are the owner's view alone — enforced on the server, not just hidden in the app.

Entry 008 — coverage
Where the pass works

One city, properly.

We would rather have real depth in Bengaluru than a thin listing in twelve cities. The next two are already priced into the ladder.
