Check-in software for climbing gyms

Day passes, induction courses, youth programmes, and member access — all on one kiosk. Built for gyms that mix drop-in entry with coached courses and clubs.

What keeps climbing gyms up on a Tuesday

  • Belay induction required before first lead climb — and you need to enforce it.
  • Day passes, member entry, and coached classes all at the same door.
  • Youth coaching programmes running on school terms, outside member billing.
  • Waivers that every first-timer needs, and an auditor who wants proof later.

How SessionHQ fits climbing gyms

Induction-gated classes

A lead-climb class only shows to members whose induction is logged. Desk can clear manually.

Day pass + member flow

Walk-in day pass, member PIN, youth coaching — all the same kiosk, different pass shapes.

Waiver per member, per check-in

Signed waiver timestamped on the member record. Exportable for insurance audits.

Built around how you already talk

  • "Induction" is a prerequisite event, not just a tag on a profile.
  • "Youth" coaching usually runs on school terms, separate from public memberships.

Typical passes for climbing gyms

  • Day pass (walk-in)
  • 10-visit pack
  • Unlimited monthly (member)

FAQ

Can I block lead climbers who haven't done induction?
Yes. Induction status is a gate on specific class types. Once logged, the member can check in.
Do day-pass walk-ins need accounts?
They sign up at the kiosk, accept the waiver, and pay — 60 seconds end to end.
Can I export waivers for audit?
Yes — JSON or CSV export with timestamps.
