Industry Expertise

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.

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.
