Archetype Strength Members

Features
Read full description

Archetype Strength Members is the official app for active members at all three Archetype Strength locations. UNLOCK THE DOOR Hit one button to unlock the gym door from your phone. Works the moment you walk up β€” no badge, no key fob, no fumbling with PIN codes. Your membership status, payment standing, and signed waivers are all checked automatically; if everything's good, you're in. MANAGE YOUR MEMBERSHIP See exactly when your next bill is due and for how much. Update your saved card without calling the front desk. Add family members to your account at 50% off their tier price. Cancel through the app with a clear, predictable end date β€” no phone tag. DROP-IN PASSES & SIGNUPS Single-day, multi-day, and full-membership signup all happen in the app. Apple Pay supported. New cards are saved securely via Stripe. Your waiver is signed once and stored β€” no paperwork the second time around. TRACK YOUR LIFTS Log your training. The app remembers your PRs across squat, bench, deadlift, press, and any other movement you want to track. Hit a milestone and your members-only profile shows it. COMMUNITY See what your training partners are up to β€” pinned announcements, upcoming events, member posts, polls, and reactions. Opt in to a public profile to appear on leaderboards and let other members find you. REFER FRIENDS Send your unique referral link to anyone interested in joining. When they sign up and pay their first bill, you get 10% off your monthly membership. Stack referrals up to 100% off. THREE LOCATIONS Members of one location can use this app to drop in at any of the others. Your account, billing, and saved cards travel with you. WHAT YOU NEED - An active Archetype Strength membership or a valid drop-in pass - For door access: location services on, set to "Allow While Using App" - For payment: any major credit card, Apple Pay, or Apple Wallet pass
