Phone charging for gyms and fitness centers

The best place is near reception or the locker room entrance, not beside the treadmills. Members can rent a power bank on the way in, charge during a lighter workout or in the locker room, and return it on the way out.

A portable power bank does not suit every exercise, so members choose when to carry it. The station itself never needs to sit beside moving equipment.

January brings check-in lines and new members. Summer brings different routines and peak hours. Walk the entrance at both kinds of times, and choose a spot that works for each.

If your gym is open 24 hours, the station should stay reachable when reception is unstaffed.

Staff never hand out chargers or take payment. Members open the Juiceboxx app, scan the station, and take a power bank. The app walkthrough shows each step.

One sentence covers it: "The charging station is by the lockers. You rent it in the Juiceboxx app."

Your gym pays nothing for setup, placement, or installation. Juiceboxx provides and installs the station, and your gym earns commission.

Members pay for their own rentals: $2 for each 30 minutes, capped at $12 per 24-hour day, separate from their membership. The rental guide explains the member's side.

Members rely on their phones for playlists, workout apps, class check-in, and the drive home. Many come straight from work with a battery that is already low. A rented power bank lets them charge during a stretch or in the locker room and leave with a working phone.

It is also a small signal that your gym thinks about the details, which members notice.

Family fitness centers with pools, courts, and childcare keep parents on site for hours. That longer stay makes a station even more useful, which is part of why Total Fitness Family Center in Piedmont hosts one.
