Gym equipment maintenance requests and member feedback for multi-location fitness chains

KudoTaps puts a numbered QR label on every treadmill, rack and shower. A member scans it with their phone camera, picks what is wrong, and your team gets a maintenance request tagged with the machine and the club. No app, no account.

How it works today

Faults reach you late, or not at all

A member tells the front desk, the front desk is busy, and the machine is still broken on Saturday. Nobody wrote it down.

You cannot compare your clubs

One gym feels like it breaks more than the others. Without a number per machine, you cannot decide where the repair budget goes.

The same machine keeps coming back

It gets fixed, it fails again three weeks later, and nobody joins those visits up into a decision to replace it.

Setting up a site

An afternoon, not a project

No register to build first. Print blank numbered labels, stick them on, then name each one by scanning it.

1

Print blanks

Pick a site and a number. They come out numbered and ready.

2

Stick them on

No decisions yet. Just get them on the equipment.

3

Scan and name

Scanning a blank label offers to set it up. Name it, save, next.

4

Live from there

Anyone who scans it can now report a problem against it.

The reports

Where repairs pile up, site by site

Raw counts only rank your sites by size. Requests per piece of equipment is the number that survives comparing a small site with a large one.

✓

Typical fix time, not the average

One job that drags on for weeks pulls the average far from a normal repair. The median shows what a typical fix really takes.

✓

What keeps coming back

Reported again within 30 days of being fixed. The number that justifies replacing it.

What you get

✓

One scan to report

A member scans, picks Out of order, Needs cleaning, Damaged, Safety issue or Something else, and can add up to two photos. No app, no account, no form asking which club they are in.

✓

It arrives tagged

The request already names the machine and the club. An email goes to that club and to you, so nothing lands in the wrong inbox.

✓

Technicians see only their clubs

Share the two gyms a contractor covers. As a technician they see those clubs' requests in Maintenance and nothing else in your account.

✓

Repeat failures are flagged

Reports list the machines reported again within 30 days of being fixed, next to requests per machine and median fix time for each club.

Customer feedback

Feedback campaigns for gyms

Ask members the same question at every club, and read the answers club by club.

How QR code campaigns work ›

✓

Satisfaction Check in the changing rooms

One question, three faces. Every club gets its own QR code, and the report lists clubs biggest opportunity first. A sad face emails the account owner.

✓

Lead Capture for guest passes

A poster at the door collects name, email and phone from visitors who want a free pass. Each lead emails that club.

✓

Link to each club's own Instagram

One Link campaign, and every club's code opens that club's own page. Change the question or link later and every code updates, with nothing reprinted.

Frequently asked questions

Do members need an app to report broken gym equipment?

No. They scan the label with their phone camera and a web page opens. Nothing to install, no account, no sign-in. It works on iPhone and Android.

Can a contractor see our whole account?

No. A team member set as a technician can be limited to the locations you share with them. With no other permissions they see only Maintenance, not your campaigns, products or analytics.

Does it schedule preventive maintenance or service intervals?

No. KudoTaps handles faults people report and the repairs that follow. It does not schedule recurring servicing, so keep your manufacturer service plan for that.

How do staff hear about a new report?

By email, to the club and to the account owner, and to the technician when a request is assigned. There are no text messages or push notifications.

Does the member get told when the machine is fixed?

Yes, if they left an email address on the report form. When staff resolve the request as Fixed, Cleaned or Replaced, the member gets an automatic email. Each club chooses whether to show that field. Other outcomes, such as No fault found, send nothing.

What does it cost?

Maintenance Requests are on the Operations plan at $59 per location per month, with unlimited equipment and technicians and a 14-day free trial. Member feedback campaigns are included.

Start with one site

Label one location, run it a month, see whether the numbers tell you something you did not already know.
