Why isn’t my membership being recognized at the gym?

If your membership isn’t scanning or allowing access, it’s usually due to one of the following reasons:


🔑 Common Reasons

💳 Payment Issue (Most Common)

  • Your latest payment may not have gone through
  • Memberships run on automatic renewal, so if a payment fails:
    • Your access is temporarily suspended
    • The system will continue retrying the payment

⏸️ Membership is Frozen or Inactive

  • Your membership may be:
    • Frozen (by request)
    • Cancelled
    • Not yet started

👤 Account or Access Issue

  • Your account details may not be linked correctly to your access card/app
  • You may be logged into the wrong account (if using the app)

🔄 Scanner / Entry Issue

  • Occasionally the scanner may not read your access properly
  • Try again once, ensuring your code/card is positioned correctly

✅ What to Do

🏋️ At the Gym

  • Speak to a staff member at reception
  • If no one is at the desk, ring the bell and a staff member will come assist you

📱 Check Your Account

  • Log into the BLCK Gym app or website
  • Go to Account / Membership Details
  • Confirm your membership is active and your billing is up to date

📧 Still Not Working?


💡 Quick Tip

Most access issues are caused by failed or outdated payment details, updating your payment method usually restores access quickly.
