3 Membership Card Options For Your Gym

Written by Tom Murphy | January 2, 2017

Does your gym or fitness center see an increase in memberships at the beginning of each year? How about after a huge promotion?

New membership opportunities for gyms, fitness centers, and health clubs are abundant. Whether it’s the start of the year or the end of a membership promotion, it’s time to start thinking about your membership cards.

Is your membership card program working for your facility? The membership cards you offer are a part of the overall experience. People expect an easy-to-use card that they can use regularly without concern. When it causes frustration, it can decrease the member’s overall satisfaction with your business. Membership cards should be a reputation improvement, not a detraction.

Health, fitness, and gym card options

Streamline your facility operation with a variety of cards such as:

  • Access cards—Provide secure facility entry for members and limited access to areas like the pool, classes, etc.
  • Membership cards—Serve as a great incentive to your members and encourage regular attendance.
  • ID badges—Provide a professional image for your employees that provides names for patrons to address trainers and facility staff.

Some access and membership cards are dual-function and offer the benefits of both in one card.

Common options for membership cards include:

  • Barcodes
  • Variable data—names, ID numbers, etc.
  • Slot or hole punches
  • Standard CR80 cards (credit card size) and/or key tags

Many other options are available to fit your requirements!

Occasionally, we get asked if CARDSource offers RFID chip cards. We do have RFID capabilities, though many times, barcode, magnetic stripe, and variable data cards are quicker to produce at a lower price—which helps you keep overhead costs down. Plus, there are many custom shapes and sizes available. In addition, PVC lamination is imageable, which allows these durable cards to be easily imprinted with custom information.

Membership cards provide facility access, track visits, and encourage attendance for your gym members. CARDSource offers quality cards with options to meet your membership card production needs. Are you just getting started and want to try implementing a gym membership card program this year? Support increased memberships with a card order starting with as few as 100 cards.
