GymSwap For Gym Owners
Members cancel when their gym usage doesn't match their membership price. GymSwap lets them sell unused days and earn gift card rewards, so they stay on your books instead of cancelling.
Got a question or want to get started? We'd love to hear from you.
The problem
A member paying $90/week who only shows up once feels ripped off. They don't complain, they just cancel. And replacing them costs 5-10x more than keeping them.
Travel, injury, busy weeks. Life gets in the way. When usage drops, members feel they're wasting money. Cancellation feels like the only option.
Unused slots during off-peak hours are revenue that vanishes forever. Your facility is there, your staff is paid, but the floor is empty.
Every cancelled member means more ad spend to fill the gap. Lead gen, promos, free trials. It all adds up while your margins shrink.
How it works
GymSwap gives low-usage members a reason to stay. Buyers get flexible access. You earn commission on every transaction, with zero admin overhead.
When a member can't make it because of any given reason they list their unused days on GymSwap. Gyms can approve or reject every listing through your own admin panel.
People looking for flexible, one-off gym access discover your facility on the GymSwap marketplace and pay a fair day rate based on your membership pricing.
On every sale, your gym takes a 40% cut, deposited straight into your account. GymSwap handles payment, verification, and check-in. No extra work for your staff.
Instead of cash, your member receives a gift card they can spend at cafes, retail stores, wellness services and more. They recoup value from their membership and have no reason to cancel.
See the numbers
Here's a real example based on a $90/week membership. Every transaction generates commission for your gym, on top of the membership fee you already collect.
Buyer pays
$28
Day rate based on your weekly membership fee
Your gym earns
$11.20
40% commission per sale, paid instantly
Member earns
~$10 gift card
Redeemable at cafes, retail, wellness & more
Your gym keeps the member's full weekly fee plus the $11.20 commission. The member stays because they're earning value back, not losing it.
Why partner
Members who feel like they're wasting money cancel. GymSwap gives them a way to recoup value through gift card rewards, so they stay on your books instead of walking away.
You keep every dollar of the member's existing fee. On top of that, you earn 40% commission on every day-pass sold through GymSwap. It's pure incremental revenue.
Every buyer who walks through your door is a potential full member. They experience your facility first-hand, with zero ad spend on your end. Many convert organically.
You get your own GymSwap admin panel to approve or reject every listing. We handle payments, verification, and check-in. Your staff don't lift a finger.

GymSwap never puts the buyer on the original member's agreement. The buyer enters your facility as a Verified Guest under a completely separate, digital single-use agreement. Before they get access, they must digitally sign your club's specific T&Cs and liability waivers on our platform. Your existing membership contracts remain untouched, and there's no transfer, sublet, or amendment to any member's agreement.
Absolutely. Every partner gym gets their own GymSwap admin panel. When a member submits a listing request, your team reviews the details and can approve or reject it. Nothing goes live without your sign-off.
Members earn gift card rewards, not cash. When their listed day is purchased by a buyer, they receive a digital gift card they can spend at cafes, retail stores, wellness services and more. This keeps members feeling valued without requiring your gym to issue discounts or handle payouts.
GymSwap operates on a simple weekly subscription model. You also earn 40% commission on every sale, which for most gyms more than offsets the subscription cost. Reach out and we'll walk you through the numbers for your gym.
Pricing is set by GymSwap based on your gym's weekly membership cost. Members can't set their own prices. This ensures fairness for buyers and consistency for your brand. For example, a $90/week membership translates to roughly $28 per day pass.
Buyers receive a verified digital pass through the GymSwap app. They present it at your front desk for a quick visual check. No scanning, no integration with your existing systems required. It takes seconds.
All swap visitors agree to your gym's terms and conditions through a separate, digital single-use agreement before they walk in. GymSwap also has a review and reporting system. Visitors who violate policies can be permanently banned from the platform.
GymSwap is not a membership transfer service. Your members stay your members. What changes is that a buyer (someone who doesn't currently hold a membership at your gym) gets one-off access for a single session. They walk in, work out, and leave. Your member keeps their full membership and earns a gift card reward for the unused day. If anything, you're gaining foot traffic from people who might convert to full members, not losing your existing base to a competitor down the road.
Not at all. GymSwap sits alongside your existing setup as a retention and revenue layer. Your membership fees, billing, and gym software stay exactly the same. We integrate without disrupting anything.
