New Feature Drops 📣 In-app Barcode Scan for Check-in, Workout Programming & Recitals!
Easiest check-in ever with our in-app barcodes, plus WOD and workout programming app & recitals app releases 💥
Here at Momence, continuous product innovation and ensuring that our software fully serves each of our diverse list of hosts is incredibly important. And we want you to know that anytime we build something new, we look for ways that the new feature can be useful to as many industries within our client umbrella as possible.
Read below to hear about our newest releases and how they might be beneficial to your business 💫
Customer Barcodes for Self Scanning Check-in
Do you offer 24/hour access to your gym or space, or just have times where the check-in process feels like a madhouse (i.e. big class sizes or multiple classes at the same time)? Well, we have something to make this process a whole lot easier for you and your customers!
Introducing: customer barcodes for self check-in. With this new feature, the system can automatically generate a key code number to all customers, which customers will be able to access with the click of a button from the Momence app. Previously, you could create and assign key fobs for your clients, but that just gives them one more thing to forget to bring with them, whereas we doubt anyone will forget to bring their beloved phone to class 😉
You can turn this on under Settings > General set-up > toggle ON Automatically generate self check-in keys for all customers.
Once enabled in your settings, customers will see the below icon next to “message” on the main page of their app. Tapping the icon will pull up their unique barcode so that they can easily scan in!
Note that if you do have customers with previously assigned key fob numbers, this will autogenerate them a second one which will be viewable on their app, and the key fob will still work as well.

Workout Programming
We are super excited to release our Workout Programming App! This will be especially enticing for our gym partners, yet, there are more enhancements coming soon which will allow this app to be used in a variety of ways.
This feature is perfect for hosts who offer their clients a workout of the day or week and/or programs that build over time, where tracking results is highly encouraged.
Here’s the rundown on how it works:
Once the app is activated* on your account, you’ll find a new tab called Workouts in your lefthand navigation bar. Here, you’ll be able to find your Programming (think a schedule, specifically for your workouts/programs) as well as a tab for your Workout templates.
Templates will be your friend if you like to repeat certain workouts (i.e. if you stick to the same workout for each day of the week for 3 months so clients can track their growth over time; or if you have a new workout daily, but recycle each month), and you can also create a One-off workout from the ‘+ Schedule Workout’ button on the Programming page.
When creating a new workout, you’ll be able to add a name and description - visible to you and your clients - as well as workout components. Workout components are where you can build in specific exercises and choose how they’ll be scored (ex. squats component that’s scored based on weight and AMRAP). You can add as many components as you’d like within a workout.
Once you have workouts live on your programming schedule, you will be able to view which customers completed the workout. Note that customers can log their completion directly from their app, or you can add them from the specific workout page.
For customers, they will see your scheduled programming/workouts under the Workouts tab on their app. From Workouts > Upcoming, they will see any workout(s) scheduled for that day.
Once they press Start on a workout, they will be guided through each of the workout components - with whatever descriptions you added in for each component - and will have the ability to score each exercise.
Clients will also be able to see all previous results, so they can check in on how they are progressing over time.
Don’t consider your business to be a gym, and glazing over this content? Hold on - we have some exciting updates coming next week that might pique your interest 🙃
Now, maybe you don’t have specific workouts of the day or programming including barbells and squats, but have you ever run a program that includes any components worth reminding clients about and having them track? This feature can be perfect for that too (especially after we add in the ability to change the wording customization from ‘workout’ to ‘lesson’ or ‘program’ next week!)
Take this example - let’s say you’re a yoga studio, and you’re launching a ‘30 Days to Personal Bliss’ program. Within this program, there is a twice daily meditation component, as well as daily journaling prompts, along with the daily yoga classes. Using this new app, you could enter each of your prompts into the daily programming, as well as components of meditation where students can track their length of time meditating and mark their completion! Then at the end, students will be able to see their progression of how long they can sit still, and also have tracking of their prompt answers within the daily workout ‘notes’ section.
What’s also coming soon, is the ability to have specific programming accessible only to customers certain memberships or tags, making it possible to integrate the tool with Teacher Trainings, retreats and more!
Recitals
Do you offer recitals or showcases at your business and wish you had a system to make things more organized and streamlined? Our new Recitals App is for you!
Here’s the lowdown on the app:
You can now easily schedule recitals with multiple acts, dances, and performers. Once the app is activated (Apps & Integrations > App store > Recitals), create your first recital under Classes > Schedule > New class > One-off class > Recital.
When creating the recital, you’ll be able to add the name and description, then start building out the show under Add act, then add specific dances within each act using the Add dance button. You also have the ability to add a Dance conflict gap, for if you want to ensure you don’t schedule any dancers in numbers too close together if they need rest or costume changes.
Within each dance that you add, you can add one or multiple dancers to the specific number. You can select customers individually from the list, or you can select whole groups from courses or semesters to make it more streamlined.
Once you’ve added in all of the acts, dances, and dancers, you can review from the recital overview page. Here, you will see the details of scheduling, and easily see if there are any places where dances are scheduled within your dance conflict gap.
We are excited about the launch of this new app, and want to note that this feature is focused on internal organization for you, your team, and your clients. Additional updates to ticket selling/purchasing and more external features are coming soon ✨
