Why Deadbolt

We run three 24-hour gyms.
So we built the software to run them for us.

Deadbolt isn't built by a software company guessing at what a gym needs. It's built by gym owners who got tired of being the front desk, the billing department and the after-hours help line all at once. Every screen is built for one thing — efficiency: if a 24-hour gym task can be automated, Deadbolt automates it; the rest it hands you in one short daily list.

The gym never closes. You do.

Every hour you're not at the gym is a gap — a missed midnight signup, a silent declined card, a fob passed around the lot. Deadbolt covers the hours you can't.

Automate everything that repeats.

Signups, payments, receipts, dunning, waivers, fob provisioning, referral rewards, win-backs. If it happens the same way every time, Deadbolt already does it.

One person can run the whole thing.

Open Deadbolt, clear a short list of things that genuinely need a human, close the laptop. That's the job now. The gym keeps running without you.

The 15-hour week

Add up the busywork. It's a part-time job.

Here's where the week actually goes for most 24-hour gym owners — and what Deadbolt does with each piece of it.

Chasing failed payments & dunning Spotting declines, texting members, retrying cards

~3 hrs Auto-retried & escalated

Front-desk signups & waivers Paperwork, payment, fob setup for every new member

~4 hrs Self-serve, 24/7

Answering member texts & billing questions "Can you freeze me?" "What's my next charge?"

~3 hrs Member portal

Giving tours Driving in to walk one prospect around

~2 hrs Self-guided tours

Cancellations & disputes Final dates, final charges, chargeback evidence

~2 hrs Policy-enforced

Reporting & reconciliation Stitching together revenue, churn and signups by hand

~1 hr Live dashboards

The walkthrough

Here's how Deadbolt runs your gym

Every screen below is the real product. Scroll through and see exactly what gets automated — and how little is left for you to do.

01 · Command center

Open the app. See your whole gym in one screen.

Deadbolt watches all of your locations overnight and hands you a live snapshot the moment you log in — money in, members in, what needs a human. No spreadsheets, no logging into five tools.

Live numbers — active members, revenue, signups, drop-ins, MRR trend.
One-tap door unlock for every location, right from the dashboard.
Today's list — new signups, leads and failed payments that need you.

02 · Memberships & access

Build any membership — and set exactly what it unlocks.

Deadbolt doesn't box you into preset plans. Build fully custom recurring memberships, drop-in passes and personal training packages — then decide precisely what each one grants: every door or just one, around the clock or set hours. Members buy online; Deadbolt provisions the right access automatically.

Recurring, drop-in & PT — monthly-to-yearly plans, day passes, training packages.
Total access — every door at every location, around the clock.
Specific doors — scope a plan to one location, or a "home gym only" door.
Set hours — off-peak, weekday or weekend-only access windows per tier.
Drop-in passes — time-boxed one-time access that expires on its own.

03 · Communications

Reach every member — automatically, or with one tap.

Every email, SMS and push the gym should send, Deadbolt already sends: welcomes, receipts, failed-payment chases, win-backs. And when you do need to reach someone, it's one-click SMS — no copy-pasting numbers, no second app.

Triggered messages — onboarding, billing and access events, on autopilot.
One-click SMS to any member or lead, straight from their profile.
Broadcasts & drip automations — gym closures, new classes, win-back series.

04 · Self-guided tours

Let prospects tour the gym by themselves.

You shouldn't have to drive in to walk one person around. A prospect books a tour online and Deadbolt grants them a single hour of door access to explore the gym on their own — then it expires automatically. No meeting, no key, no you.

One-hour access pass — opens the door, then revokes itself.
Books online, any hour — no calendar tag, no callback.
Rolls straight into signup — a finished tour becomes a one-tap join.

05 · Leads & marketing

Turn tours into members — entirely online.

Every walk-in, web form and phone enquiry lands in one lead pipeline. Deadbolt's marketing automations follow up for you — reminders before the tour, a nudge after it, a join link while interest is hot — all designed to convert tours into paying members without you chasing.

One pipeline for phone, web and walk-in leads.
Automated follow-up — pre-tour reminders, post-tour nudges, win-backs.
Convert online — leads sign up from their phone, no front desk.

06 · Member self-service

Members manage themselves — on your terms.

Every "quick question" that used to land in your phone, members handle in the app: update a card, add a family member, freeze, even cancel — all inside the rules and policies you set. You stay in control without being on call.

Add family members onto one account and one bill.
Self-cancel — but only to your policy: notice period, final date, final charge.
Cards, freezes, billing history, referrals — all member-managed.

07 · Stats & billing

Know your numbers without doing the math.

MRR, churn, growth, signups, drop-in revenue, revenue by location and by tier — Deadbolt computes it all live. Billing runs across every Stripe account you have, and you can even respond to payment disputes and upload chargeback evidence right inside the app.

Live trends — MRR, churn, retention, month-over-month growth.
Revenue by location & tier — see exactly what's driving the money.
Fight disputes in-app — respond to chargebacks and attach evidence without leaving Deadbolt.

08 · Multi-location

One login. Every location. One franchise.

Run one gym or ten. Each location keeps its own Stripe account, Kisi doors, waivers and pricing — while you see the entire franchise in a single dashboard, or drill into any one location on its own.

Per-location Stripe & Kisi — clean payouts and door access for every gym.
Franchise-wide reporting — compare locations side by side on revenue, churn and signups.
One membership, every door — members move between your locations on a single account.

Member experience

Members stay because the gym feels alive.

Automation keeps the lights on — retention is what pays. Deadbolt gives every member a reason to come back: badges to chase, a community to belong to, and the whole gym in an app in their pocket.

Gamification

Turn every workout into something worth chasing.

Members earn badges for PRs, check-in streaks, early-morning sessions, comebacks and anniversaries — Common all the way up to Legendary, with custom artwork. A simple game layer that quietly drives the one number that matters: how often people show up.

Ready-made badge catalog — PRs, streaks, attendance, milestones.
Rarity tiers — Common, Rare, Epic and Legendary, with your own artwork.
Retroactive awards — backfill every badge members have already earned.

Community

A feed that makes the gym feel like a club.

Members log their workouts and post to a shared community feed; PRs post themselves. You drop in gym announcements and events, pin the important ones to the top, and they surface right on members' profiles — so the gym has a pulse even with nobody at a front desk.

Member feed — logged workouts, PRs and posts in one place.
Announcements & events — post gym news, schedule events, run polls.
Pin to the top — key posts pinned and shown on member profiles.

The member app

The whole gym, in their pocket.

Every member gets a dedicated Deadbolt app — and for gyms that want their own, it can be fully custom-branded with your name and icon in the App Store and Google Play. Members unlock the door, sign up, log workouts and chase badges, and you reach all of them in a second with a push notification.

Door access from the phone — geofenced, no fobs to hand out.
Sign up in the app — join, add family and pick a plan, no front desk.
Push notifications — announcements, badge wins and billing alerts, instantly.
Custom-branded option — ship the app under your own gym's brand.

Integrations

Plugs into the tools your gym already runs on.

Deadbolt sits on top of Stripe, Kisi, Twilio and SendGrid — the money, the doors, the texts and the email — and ties every one of them to your memberships automatically.

Stripe

The money side

Connect a Stripe account per location for clean, per-location payouts. Deadbolt charges memberships, retries failed cards, sends receipts, handles refunds and fights disputes — every payment tied to a member.

Per-location Stripe accounts & payouts
Automatic dunning on failed cards
Refunds & dispute evidence in one place

Kisi

The door side

Doors are pulled live from Kisi. The instant a membership starts, pauses, lapses or cancels, door access follows — no fobs to mail, no access to revoke by hand. Geofenced unlocks keep entry honest.

Access provisioned & revoked automatically
Limit or pull door access for any specific member
Geofenced unlock — members must be at the gym
Account-sharing flagged before it costs you

Twilio

The SMS side

Member texts run on Twilio. Welcomes, failed-payment chases and win-backs send themselves — and one-click SMS lets you reach any member or lead straight from their profile.

Automated transactional & win-back texts
One-click SMS to any member or lead
SMS broadcasts to your whole roster

SendGrid

The email side

Every email — receipts, onboarding series, announcements and win-backs — goes out through SendGrid, so the messages your members need land reliably in the inbox.

Receipts & onboarding sequences
Broadcasts & multi-step drip campaigns
Reliable, on-brand delivery

Deadbolt location settings — Stripe connected per location and Kisi door groups, with geofence unlock radius

FAQ

Questions from gym owners

Is the free demo really free?

Yes. Click any "Try a free demo" button and you're straight into the real Deadbolt product — no credit card, no sales call first. Look around, click everything. We'll sort out billing and your trial once you've decided it's a fit.

Does Deadbolt work with my door hardware?

Deadbolt integrates with Kisi for cloud-based, unstaffed door access. Access is provisioned and revoked automatically with every membership change, and unlocks are geofenced so members have to actually be at the gym. Tell us your setup on the demo and we'll confirm the fit.

How does the payment side work?

Deadbolt runs on Stripe — connect one account per location for clean payouts. It charges memberships, retries failed cards, sends receipts, handles refunds and surfaces disputes with the evidence attached. You stop discovering declined cards weeks late.

Can it import my members from GymDesk or Mindbody?

Yes — migration is included. We bring over your members, membership types, billing details and history so nobody loses access during the switch, typically in under a week.

Do I actually need a front desk at all?

No. Signups, tours, guest passes, lead follow-up and cancellations all run without a staffed desk. Deadbolt is designed so one owner can run a 24-hour gym solo — the short daily task list is the only thing that needs you.

Can members really cancel themselves?

They can — but only on your terms. You set the notice period, final billing date and any final charge, and Deadbolt enforces it. A clean, on-the-record cancellation beats a chargeback and a bad review every time.
