Reception
Reception or front desk
Members pass it on the way in and out, so they can pick up a powerbank before a session and return it after.
For gyms and leisure facilities
Keep members’ phones going to the last set.
An Emperium Power station at reception lets members rent a powerbank with a contactless card and keep their phone charged through their session, then drop it back on the way out.
01 Why it fits
Why gyms add a station.
-
/01
Phones are part of the workout
Music, workout apps and fitness trackers all run on a phone. A powerbank in a pocket or on the bench keeps them going through a session.
-
/02
No cables on the gym floor
Members charge from a powerbank they carry, not from leads trailing to wall sockets near the equipment.
-
/03
Members serve themselves
Reception does not lend chargers or look after phones. Members rent and return at the station.
02 Placement
Where a station works in a gym.
Lounge
Café or lounge area
In leisure centres with a café or seating area, members and visitors can charge while they wait or relax.
Sites
Several sites
Gym chains can discuss a consistent setup across sites, with placement agreed for each.
03 How it works
What your members do.
A member presses Start on the station, taps a contactless card and takes the powerbank that is released. They keep it with them during their session and slot it back into the station on the way out. See the four steps.
04 FAQs
Questions we are asked.
Can members use the powerbank during a workout?
Yes. Members take the powerbank with them and charge their phone by cable or wirelessly while they train, then return it to the station before they leave.
Is it suitable for studios and leisure centres too?
Yes. Gyms, fitness studios and leisure centres all have members who rely on their phone during a session. Tell us about your premises in your enquiry.
Where should the station go?
Somewhere visible, near a power socket, that members pass on the way in and out: usually reception or the front desk. We agree the exact spot for each site.
Can we set up stations across a gym chain?
Yes. Tell us how many locations you have and the towns or cities they are in, and we will discuss the right setup for each.
