Hi folks - anybody own a small, staffless gym (where members access the gym through swipe card)?

Curious if it’s easy enough to operate, security concerns, etc.

I’m interested in the business model - any help is appreciated - thanks!

Do you know if this chain hires staff to clean the gym? Maybe “staffless” means no one is there to help or interact with gym members. I used to go to an Anytime Fitness. While there were staff there, I didn’t need any staff there and cameras are everywhere. With the right liability disclaimers, this could be a great idea.

Anytime fitness only has staff during working hours. Not after hours.

But a big problem for staffless gyms is the issue of tail gating. Eg one member letting in multiple unpaid members in. Or members sharing gym keycard with others in their household
