Leading aquatic, fitness and recreation software provider PerfectGym has released an enhanced Self-Service Kiosk.

With self-service kiosks popular in aquatic, fitness and recreation facilities and their benefits having been seen, experienced and proven over many years, to date, they have offered little outside of the basic functionality of booking and printing a ticket for activities such as gym and group fitness classes.

With the industry driving further towards customers administering their own membership, and the demand for efficiencies relating to member signup, PerfectGym saw the opportunity to further utilise the application of their branded ClientPortal and online sign-up with is purpose built Self-Service Kiosk.

Maintaining fast booking and printing functionality of current industry kiosks, PerfectGym’s Self-Service Kiosk builds upon this concept by also allowing members to print receipts for previously booked classes via mobile app or mobile responsive member portal, giving facilities accurate date on booked vs attended statistics.

Select kiosk models deliver payment functionality via integrated credit card/payment terminals, that enable members to book and pay for casual classes, outstanding arrears, renewal of contracts, or simply complete a brand-new end to end sign up, complete with PARQ (physical activity readiness questionnaire), contract signing, member photo and seamless capturing of payment details.

All kiosk models enable members to process suspensions, update details and manage child swim lessons if required via a multi-lingual interface; addressing the needs of the various demographics utilising recreation, fitness and aquatic facilities.

Advising of a recent surge in uptake of Self Service Kiosks, PerfectGym Country Manager, Matt Inglis stated “we have had a steady uptake over the past five years for our clients to extend the self-service functionality from member portal and app to a ‘bricks and mortar’ in facility offering; but post COVID, where operators are requiring a greater need to emphasise the customer self-service experience, and faced with the likelihood of a reduced staff head count, self-service kiosks are a naturally appealing option.

“One recent state trust will implement over the coming months, 10 Self-Service Kiosks across their facilities, further bolstering the Industry shift and acknowledgment of self service.”
