QR Codes for Gym Equipment

New members avoid machines they don't know how to use. A QR code on each machine opens a 30-second video of correct form and settings, so members train safely without waiting for a trainer, and scans show which machines confuse people most.

Free plan: 3 dynamic codes, no time limit. Pro types free for 14 days, no card.

Analytics

What the scans tell you

Every scan of a dynamic code is counted, with link previews and bots filtered out, so the numbers are people.

Which machines need explaining

Video scans per machine show where members need help, and where a trainer walk-through pays off.

When the floor is busy

Scan timing reflects floor traffic by hour and day.

Maintenance trends

Problem reports per machine, without a paper log.

New vs regular members

First-time scanner share shows whether newcomers use the videos.

Reported for every code: scans over time, unique vs total, country, US state and city, iPhone vs Android, operating system, hour of day and day of week, with CSV export and a weekly email report.

Printing it so it scans

  • Durable vinyl stickers, about 2 inches (5 cm), where a member stands at the machine, away from sweat and grip areas.
  • Name the machine and "Scan for a 30-second how-to" next to it.
  • Avoid curved tubing; use a flat panel or a small plate.
  • Print one proof and scan it with an iPhone and an Android phone where it will hang, in that light, before printing the rest.

Set it up

  1. Step 1

    Record short videos

    One per machine: setup, form, common mistakes.

  2. Step 2

    One code per machine

    Name codes after the machine so stats read clearly.

  3. Step 3

    Stick them where members stand

    Durable vinyl, flat surface.

  4. Step 4

    Update videos any time

    Replace a video without new stickers.
