fitDEGREE
Give members 24/7 access from the same app they use to manage their fitness experience.
fitDEGREE brings memberships, billing, bookings, check-ins, and member access together for fitness studios, gyms, and clubs. With the Kisi integration, active memberships automatically sync with Kisi access groups, while access is removed when a membership expires, freezes, is cancelled, or becomes past due.
Members can unlock doors directly from the fitDEGREE app, and each door entry is recorded alongside front-desk check-ins. This gives operators one attendance record while making it easier to extend opening hours beyond front-desk coverage.
How the fitDEGREE + Kisi integration works
Operators can map membership types to specific Kisi access groups, defining which doors, locations, and time windows are available to different members. Membership status in fitDEGREE then determines whether that access remains active, removing the need for staff to provision and revoke access manually.
For members, access stays within the fitDEGREE app they already use for bookings and payments, with no separate app or fob required. When they unlock a door, the entry is written back to fitDEGREE as a check-in, keeping staffed and after-hours visits together in the same attendance data.
Because access follows the same membership records used across locations, the integration can also support businesses operating multiple sites.
