- Hard to view all bookings
Terrible
CREATE A PROPER NFC APP FOR IPHONE! What kind of budget coders try to use Bluetooth like NFC? It’s a communication protocol, it’s not intended to be used like a wallet. This results in a very unpleasant experience of brushing your phone for several minutes trying to get it to read. Even the staff have given up and just wave people through.
Unnecessary and buggy
Used to just need a gym card, now I need an app and a lock? Feels less efficient
Slow and annoying
Slow and annoying
Missing Function
It is reasonably easy to use. One significant function that is missing is you can see all your booked classes on one screen. Currently you have to go into every club you booked in your class to check what and when you have booked, it is very inconvenient and unnecessarily cumbersome .
Fitness classes
I love all the classes at Bayside The instructors are amazing The best in Melbourne I especially enjoy Denis’s Pilates
Awful app
Just spent an embarrassing 10 minutes trying to access the club. Would just hang when trying to access my membership. Had to delete and reinstall and re log in. If you’re going to take away the cards and reduce staffing hours, then at least invest in a reliable app programmer
App is slow, unreliable and readers have badly positioned indicator lights
The app is slow, takes too long to approve your access and the interface design is poor because you have to cover the status light with your phone so you don’t actually know whether it’s approved you or not. Similarly, sometimes the doors don’t open after the app green light comes on and you have to do it several additional times. Finally, needing my membership card to access lockers defeats the purpose of the app - at least make PIN activated lockers available nationwide. And please, make the app available on my Apple Watch. Fitness First has enough of an issue with members wasting time on their phones rather than working out and this exacerbates more mobile phones on the gym floor.
Filters
Great to have an accurate timetable after many years, and the fact that you can save your favourite clubs is great. Can you PLEASE now add the functionality to save your class choices? I only attend two class types and every single time I open the app I have to deselect the classes I’m looking for… it’s hugely irritating.
Thank you
Hey, just a shout out of thanks for adding the Instructor name on classes now. Small changes can make big difference.
Won’t let me scan into the club
Employees have no idea why
Signs out constantly
I now have to use this app each day because they’ve switched to digital entry (the keyring tags worked way better) but nearly every day I open the app as I’m entering the gym and it’s signed me out. It’s extremely annoying because the cell service is pretty terrible right by the gym entrance. Please fix.
Won’t delete my account
It saying you have to contact gym to delete your account I don’t agree and they won’t delete it without a fee
Slow and annoying
I used to just come to the gym with a card and a towel. Now I have to bring a phone which takes three actions to get to the state where I can gain entry to the gym, wait for an age while the phone and the reader talk to each other then keep moving the phone away from the sensor to see if it has turned green because the phone takes an age to get the ‘green’ result, either that or wait for the receptionist to say ‘that’s OK’. Then I have to put my phone in a locker. I really don’t see this as progress. And now all of a sudden the app wants my location data. Why?
Where’s the digital access screen?
Still require old black pass to access old lockers
Improve personal calendar and allow sharing
Lots of misses with this bare minimum app - but would like to see a feature where I could schedule classes and then see a calendar summary rather than toggling days; plus add ability to connect with other members and share.
Very poor design for a pricey gym
Poorly designed app. I have not been able to log in since it has started. I have spoken to 4 people at the reception about it and finally they have logged in a complaint with IT. No update for 3 weeks now. I’m beginning to wonder if I’m hallucinating.
doesn’t scan
doesn’t scan well and i don’t get let into gym after hours
Bad Idea
What was the point in digital access? The lockers aren’t updated so I still need my card anyway, it’s not a very good idea? So I have to use my phone and I’m still using the card? I wonder if it would be better if it was all on one system…like the card that already existed. I’m only writing this review because I had to update the app of course, the card never needed updating ahaha
Digital access disaster
To have to get out your phone, then open the app, then sign in to the app just to enter the club is a terrible experience. I’ve taken to not scanning in at all, which I see many others doing. Given the doors are unlocked in staff hours I can only imagine how many people are accessing the gym without paying for a membership.
Why does it require Wifi, Bluetooth and Location Data?
Why does an app to access the gym require wifi, Bluetooth and location data? All we needed was a simple keycard. Seems like a blatant grab at your personal data.
