Presently for Gyms & Fitness Studios

Digital signage built for independent gyms and studios

Your members walk past the front desk twice every visit, but the poster taped there has not changed since January. Class launches, PT slots, and challenge signups deserve better real estate.

Read the full guide

Presently routes content by who is walking past: intro class offers for the new face, personal training and recovery content for the longtime member, youth program promos for the parent.

Why a static display falls short in a gym

Personal training sells itself to the wrong people

PT is your highest-margin service, but blanket promotion wastes it on members who will never buy. Routing PT content to the demographics that actually convert raises the hit rate.

Class schedules live on paper

Printed schedules are outdated the week a class moves. A live screen at the entrance shows today's lineup, open spots, and the new instructor without reprinting anything.

Retention happens in the lobby

Members decide to quit quietly, between visits. Challenges, milestone shoutouts, and community events on screen give every visit a reason to come back.

What the screen shows, by who walks up

Presently detects approximate audience signals (age range, gender) with on-device computer vision, picks the best-matching content from your library, and discards the camera frame immediately. Raw images are not stored or transmitted; optional dashboards use aggregate rollups only.

Where to place the first screens in a gym

Start at a decision point you can measure. One useful screen with a clear job is better than several screens repeating the same loop.

Entry and check-in

Prioritize today's classes, open spots, and one member action before people move onto the floor.

Recovery and water area

Use dwell time for coaching, recovery services, and challenge progress instead of repeating the class schedule.

Exit sightline

Place rebooking, next-session, and referral prompts where members can act after a workout.

Three campaigns to run first

Give each campaign one audience, one action, and one success measure. Keep the first test live long enough to compare against a clean baseline.

Class fill campaign

Promote only classes with real capacity and stop the message before a full class creates frustration.

Personal-training introduction

Use a specific assessment offer, named coach, and next available time rather than a generic PT ad.

Retention challenge

Show simple progress and the next milestone while keeping individual member information off public screens.

Try it: tap who walks up

This is the same routing logic that runs on the device. Pick a customer and watch the display pick the creative.
