# QR codes for gyms and fitness studios

> Gym QR codes work on equipment, where a member is already standing still. An exercise-demo code on each machine is the highest-value use; class booking and WiFi come next. Codes must survive sweat and cleaning products.

## Equipment codes are the best use

A code on each machine linking to a short demonstration video, correct form notes and the
adjustment guide. The member is already there, stationary, and has a question. Nothing else
in a gym meets those three conditions.

Keep videos short and light — gym WiFi is usually poor and basements have no signal. Offer
the WiFi code beside it.

## Durability

Equipment codes face sweat, alcohol-based cleaning sprays and constant handling. Specify:

- **Polyester or vinyl** label with a **matt** laminate.
- Error correction **Q**.
- Mounted where it is not gripped — the side of the frame, not the handle.
- Replaced on a schedule; a faded code that half-works is worse than an obviously missing
  one.

## Other placements

| Use | Where |
|---|---|
| Class booking | Studio door, reception |
| WiFi | Reception, changing rooms |
| Induction and safety | Free-weights area |
| Membership signup | Window, for after hours |
| Feedback | Exit |

## Class booking

Point at the specific class timetable, not the app store. If your booking is app-only, use
an [app download code](/app-download-qr-code) that detects the operating system — one code
for both stores.

## Changing rooms

A WiFi code in the changing room is scanned more than one at reception, because that is where
people get their phone out.
