Quick answers to the questions we hear most often from gym owners considering ScanLiftLog and members using it on the gym floor.
Common questions about setup, pricing, analytics, customization, member experience, and how ScanLiftLog fits into your facility.
ScanLiftLog is a QR-based workout tracking system for gyms. Each machine gets a machine-specific QR code label. Members scan the label, instantly open the workout experience on their phone, and track sets, reps, weight, or cardio stats right there on that exact piece of equipment. It adds a modern, interactive layer to your gym floor without requiring a traditional app rollout.
No. That is one of the biggest advantages of the platform. Members can open it instantly in their mobile browser by scanning the QR code. There is no app store download, no account creation, and no password friction. Members can also add it to their home screen for faster access while still using the same web-based experience.
Setup is straightforward. You provide your equipment list, and ScanLiftLog generates machine-specific QR code links and print-ready labels tied to your location and equipment names. Once the labels are applied to your floor, members can begin scanning and tracking. The goal is to keep rollout simple so there is very little operational burden on the gym.
Yes. Labels can be customized to reflect your gym’s branding, including gym name, machine name, colors, design style, and overall look. The goal is to make the labels feel like they belong in your facility, not like generic third-party stickers.
It is designed to support a wide range of equipment types, including selectorized machines, plate-loaded machines, racks, cables, and cardio equipment. Strength machines can support set, rep, and weight tracking, while cardio equipment can support time and other machine-specific stats such as calories, distance, incline, or speed when relevant.
Gym-facing analytics can include data such as total scans, total saved workouts, most-used machines, engagement by day, repeat usage, and other floor-level activity insights. These analytics are designed to help owners understand usage patterns and see how members are interacting with the system across the facility.
The platform is designed to keep friction low and privacy strong. Members do not need to create an account or submit personal information to start using the system. Workout history is stored on the user’s device by default, which helps keep the experience simple and private.
The system can be disabled at the gym level without physically removing every label from the floor. That means if a location stops service, scans can show that the service is inactive rather than continuing to function normally. This makes it easier to control access and maintain the system operationally.
Yes. Trainers can use it as a cleaner, machine-specific way to help clients track work on the floor. It is also helpful for beginners who want structure and guidance without dealing with a complicated fitness app. Features like the AI Workout Assistant and machine-based history help reduce confusion and make the floor feel more approachable.
Building a custom gym app is expensive, time-consuming, and usually far more complex than most gyms expect. ScanLiftLog gives gyms a modern digital workout experience without app store development, account management systems, or large software build costs. It is a faster, lower-friction way to add visible value to the member experience.
Common questions from people using ScanLiftLog while training, including how to start, how data is stored, and how the AI Assistant works.
The easiest way to start is to scan the QR code on a machine in the gym. That opens the workout tracking page for that exact machine. From there, you can enter your workout details and save them right on your phone.
No. ScanLiftLog opens right in your phone’s browser. In many gyms, you can also add it to your home screen for faster access later, so it feels more like an app without needing to download anything from an app store.
No. You do not need to create an account, set a password, or enter personal information to begin tracking workouts. The experience is built to be quick and low-friction so you can scan and get started right away.
On strength equipment, you can typically track sets, reps, and weight, along with optional notes or exercise details depending on the setup. This makes it easy to see what you did last time and build consistency on that same machine.
On cardio equipment, the setup can include required time plus optional machine stats such as calories, distance, incline, speed, resistance, or similar fields depending on the equipment and gym configuration.
In gyms where the machine dropdown feature is enabled, yes. Once you are inside the experience, you may be able to switch to another machine using the in-app machine list instead of scanning again. This makes it easier to move through a workout while staying in the same workflow.
By default, your workout history is stored on your device. That helps keep the experience simple and private. It also means your history is tied to the phone and browser you are using unless you export and restore it on another device.
If you use the built-in download/export and upload/restore tools, you can move your workout history to a new device. This helps preserve your tracked progress when switching phones.
Because workout history is stored on-device by default, clearing your browser storage can remove your saved workout history from that device. If your gym’s setup includes export/backup features, it is a good idea to save your data periodically if you want added protection.
The AI Workout Assistant is a guided feature that helps build a workout plan based on things like your goals, available time, and experience level. It is designed to help members get started faster and reduce the guesswork of deciding what to do next in the gym. It should be used as general workout guidance, not medical advice.
