Kenko QR Check-Ins vs ManageYourGym

Kenko QR Check-Ins lets fitness-business members enter by scanning a unique QR code in the Kenko app. An iPad displays the code at a kiosk, and the member’s phone scans it, avoiding shared touchscreens and helping reduce front-desk queues. Each scan is automatically logged and timestamped, with attendance updated in real time across locations. Kenko presents the feature for Pilates, yoga, gyms, dance fitness, HIIT studios, and personal training businesses. Android, iOS, and web access are listed, along with attendance reports and multi-location support. The Premium plan includes a self check-in kiosk, while the Booking plan lists a check-in kiosk and access control. Pro costs $199 a month; Premium costs $399 a month. A 15-day free trial is available, but there is no free plan. Kenko reports TLS 1.2 communications, AES-256 encryption at rest, and SOC 2 audit certification.

ManageYourGym combines member, attendance, payment, trainer and multi-branch management for independent neighborhood gyms and fitness chains, particularly in India. Members can check in and out with QR codes without extra biometric hardware. The system tracks UPI, cash, card and bank-transfer payments and generates GST invoices. Its member app supports QR self check-in, live occupancy, class booking and dues or renewal payments. A trainer app shows schedules, client rosters, completed sessions, performance information and payslips. Gyms can connect their own Razorpay account for in-app UPI or card payments that settle to the gym’s bank. The platform runs on Android, iOS and the web, with API support. Plans are $79.00 per month for Starter, $169.00 per month for Professional and $349.00 per month for Enterprise. A 14-day trial does not require a credit card. Security descriptions include TLS/SSL, encryption at rest, bcrypt hashing and role-based access controls.
