Owner setup checklist

The steps to get your gym running on Forge, in order.

Work through these in order. We do setup with you, so you won't be doing it alone.

  1. Connect your Stripe account. Card payments go to your gym's own Stripe account. See Connecting your Stripe account.
  2. Set up your membership plans. Name each plan and set its monthly price. See Setting up membership plans.
  3. Choose your membership rules. Decide whether members can freeze or cancel in the app, and how long a grace period lasts after a failed payment. See Freeze and cancel settings.
  4. Bring your members over. See Importing your members.
  5. Add your machines. Enter each machine in Equipment, then place its stickers. See Placing QR and NFC stickers on machines.
  6. Add classes and trainers if your gym offers them. See Classes and seat limits and Setting up trainers.
  7. Set up the front desk and any kiosk tablets. See Running the front desk and Setting up a kiosk tablet.
  8. Tell your members about the app. Share your member app link and the install steps.
