Looking to Add Vending Machines to Your Gym?
Gym Vending machines are becoming more and more popular. Fitness centers all over the country are adding vending machines to take care of their customer’s needs. With more and more fitness centers, being open 24 hours, there is no way to stock and sell all the items your customers might need without a vending machine.
My name is Joe Nichols, and I have been going to the gym for the last eight years. When it comes to wants and needs, I always find myself in search of one thing or another. And sometimes, it’s not what you would typically think you would find in a vending machine.

This machine will accept cash, credit cards, and Apple Pay. The credit card acceptor also has a display to show advertisements or upcoming events. All of this information can be displayed on one 39-inch-wide machine.
As a final note, most items in these machines can be purchased at Sam’s Club or Costco. Each vending machine has a telemetry system that tells you what items are sold out and the amount of money in the machine.
