This is your Guest Pass - Discover gyms worth finding. Guest Pass is a curated gym discovery app built to help you find unique, independently owned gyms, purchase a pass, and start training with more freedom. Instead of trying to list every gym everywhere, Guest Pass focuses on finding the hidden gems. The independent gyms with character, great equipment, passionate owners, strong communities, and something that makes them worth discovering. Whether you are traveling, new to an area, or simply looking for somewhere different to train, Guest Pass makes it easier to find a gym that fits what you are looking for. Explore our curated directory, learn about each gym, see photos and important facility information, and find gyms you may never have discovered otherwise. At participating locations, you can purchase a Guest Pass directly through the app and redeem it at the gym using a secure, unique QR code. No membership or long-term contract required. VERIFIED BY GUEST PASS Look for the Guest Pass Verified badge. Verified gyms are facilities that the Guest Pass team has physically visited and toured as part of the complementary Guest Pass gym tour series hosted by Guest Pass creator David Ziegler, the "Ziegler Monster", giving you another way to discover gyms we have experienced firsthand. FOR GYM OWNERS Guest Pass is built to support independently owned gyms and the people behind them. If your gym is not currently listed, you can submit it for consideration. Because Guest Pass is a curated directory, listings are reviewed and created by our team rather than automatically added to a massive database. Already see your gym on Guest Pass? Simply create your free account, find your gym, and claim the existing profile. Once claimed, you can manage your gym’s information and keep your listing accurate and up to date. Gym owners can also opt into digital Guest Pass sales, allowing visitors to purchase access through the app and redeem their pass at check-in with a secure QR code. It is an easy way to welcome new visitors and create an additional revenue stream with unlimited earning potential. Guest Pass is free to download and free for gyms to use. FIND GREAT GYMS. SUPPORT INDEPENDENT GYMS. TRAIN ANYWHERE.
