Your gym or fitness studio deserves payment processing that integrates seamlessly with your member management software. Unison Payment Solutions partners with fitness businesses to reduce costs—our average gym client saves around $1,000 per month after switching.
Payment Processing for Gyms & Fitness Studios
Running a gym or fitness studio means juggling memberships, class bookings, personal training sessions, and retail sales—all while keeping members happy and motivated. The last thing you need is payment processing that adds friction or drains your profits.
Unison Payment Solutions specializes in payment processing for the fitness industry. We integrate with MindBody, ClubReady, ABC Fitness, and other leading gym management platforms to create a seamless experience for you and your members. No more manual reconciliation or double-entry—payments flow directly into your existing systems.
What sets us apart? Results. Our gym and fitness studio clients typically save around $1,000 per month on processing costs after switching to Unison. Those savings come from competitive rates, transparent pricing, and eliminating the hidden fees that plague fitness businesses.
We understand the membership model. Recurring billing, freeze requests, cancellations, and failed payment retries are everyday challenges for fitness businesses. Our systems handle these automatically with smart retry logic that recovers declined payments and keeps your revenue flowing.
Class pack and session tracking integrate with your booking system. When members purchase packages or individual sessions, inventory updates automatically. No overselling. No manual tracking. Personal trainers and instructors see their sessions and compensation clearly.
Retail sales complete the picture. Supplements, apparel, and equipment sell through the same system as memberships. Unified reporting shows your complete business picture—memberships, services, and retail—in one dashboard.

Gyms & Fitness Studios Payment Processing FAQs
How much can my gym actually save?
Our gym clients typically save around $1,000 per month after switching to Unison. Actual savings depend on your current rates and monthly volume. We provide a free savings analysis comparing your current statements to our rates—no obligation.
Do you integrate with MindBody?
Yes, we have direct integration with MindBody. Payments sync automatically with member accounts, class bookings, and retail transactions. Most gyms are fully integrated within a few days.
What about failed recurring payments?
Our smart retry system automatically attempts failed payments at optimal times—typically recovering 20-30% of declined transactions. This directly improves your revenue without manual intervention.
Can I offer financing for annual memberships?
Yes, we integrate with consumer financing providers like Affirm. Members can pay monthly while you receive the full annual amount upfront. Great for boosting annual membership sales.
How does the cash discount program work for gyms?
With cash discount, members paying with card cover the processing fee (typically 3-4%). Those paying cash, check, or ACH get the base price. Many gyms eliminate 100% of processing costs this way.
What gym management software do you support?
We integrate with MindBody, ClubReady, ABC Fitness, Zen Planner, Wodify, and many others. If you use a different platform, ask us—we likely support it or can build an integration.
