Before and after the workout
One member forgot their pre-workout. Another just finished leg day and wants something cold before the drive home. Neither wants to stop at a gas station. A machine by the door handles both, and your staff never have to sell anything over the counter.
Stocked with what members reach for
Across our machines, energy drinks and sodas sell the most, along with Arizona teas. For a gym that means a full row of the energy drinks your members already buy. If they want protein bars or sugar-free options, they scan the QR code on the machine and request them, and the most-voted items go in.
Front desk, not the back hallway
Put it where every member walks: next to the front desk or the entrance. A hallway by the locker rooms is a good second choice. We'll confirm the spot when we visit.
Gym vending: which machine?
Most gyms do best with the combo machine: drinks and snacks in one footprint. Gyms with a lounge or long hours can add the smart fridge, so members coming straight from work can grab a meal. Compare them.
Fitness centers inside other buildings
If your fitness center sits inside an apartment community or a hotel, see apartment vending and hotel vending.
Onus is Paul and Teddy, two brothers who traded the 9-to-5 for this. We're a local gym vending service in Atlanta, South Fulton and the rest of Fulton County, and we stock every machine ourselves.
