Smart Check-In via GPS

Updated over 2 weeks ago

We're improving your Wellpass check-in experience! πŸ‘ To make access faster for you and the process smoother for our partners, we are switching from physical QR codes to a location-based GPS check-in.
​
​

Performing a standard visit (Walk-in)

Check-ins are completed in four simple steps directly on-site at the partner location:

  1. Arrive at the partner's location (studio or fitness club).

  2. Open the Wellpass app and tap the "Check-in" tab at the bottom.

  3. Select the correct location on the map.

  4. Show your confirmation screen at the reception to enter the studio. πŸ‘

Smart Check-in for booked classes

If you have reserved a spot in a class in advance, follow this procedure:

  1. Arrive at the studio on time.

  2. Navigate to "Sessions" ➑️ "My Bookings" in the app.

  3. Select the corresponding class and click on "Check-in."

  4. Show the confirmation screen to the staff on-site. πŸ‘

πŸ’‘ Phasing Out the QR Code Process πŸ’‘

To standardize the check-in experience across all regions, physical QR codes are being phased out step by step.

  • What this means for you: You will no longer need to look for displays or posters on-site to scan a code.

  • πŸ’‘ Note: During a transition period, the QR code function will remain available in parallel to guarantee a smooth switch before it is completely removed.

  • As long as you are still able to scan a QR code, this check-in method remains valid. 😊

Requirements for the Smart Check-In

For the Smart Check-in to work smoothly, the following conditions must be met:

  • Location Sharing

Allow the Wellpass app access to your location in your smartphone settings (Setting: "While Using the App" or "Always"). πŸ’‘ This is the only way the system can verify your presence on-site.
​

  • Privacy Guaranteed

Your location is only requested at the moment of check-in to calculate your distance from the studio. We do not store movement profiles and do not track you outside of the check-in zones.

Troubleshooting: Missing Check-in Button

πŸ’‘If you are at the correct location but the button is not displayed, this may occasionally be due to an inaccurate map update.

➑️ Solution: In this case, use the QR code icon (scanner button) on the check-in screen to manually scan the partner's existing QR code as a backup.

Smart Check-in for Outdoor Activities

πŸ’‘ If an outdoor class is part of an indoor studio, please check in at the studio's physical address first before heading to the meeting point.
​

➑️ If it is a purely outdoor location, simply check in directly upon arrival at the specified address. πŸ‘

Correcting an Incorrect Location Selection

If the app suggests a nearby studio that you are not visiting, you can decline this suggestion and manually select the correct studio from the list or on the map. 😊
