Our brand new fast track entry
We have a brand-new fast track entry pod to make checking in for your gym sessions and classes quicker and easier.
Simply tap your phone on the top of the new check-in pod when you arrive and you'll automatically be checked in without having to go to reception.
You must have the free Chelmsford City Sports app to use the pod. Membership cards and wrist fobs will not work on the check in pod.
The pods look like this:
On top of the pod there will be a check-in tile that says "tap or scan for access".
- Open the Chelmsford City Sports app on your phone. You must be logged into the app to use the pod.
- On the app homepage, there will be a button that says "Check in."
- Click the check in button. Your phone camera will open. You can scan the QR code or tap your phone on the tile to check in.
- When you are correctly checked in, the pod will turn green. If the pod turns red, please go to reception.
- If you want to use a locker, you can either use a £1 coin to release the key, a trolley token, or exchange the value of £1 for a £1 token at reception. This money will be returned to you when you return the token.
