10DLC registration for gyms and fitness studios

Illustrative templates. Each names the brand, matches the use case, and shows opt-out.
How gyms and fitness studios collect opt-in
Collect consent at sign-up and in your app or member portal, with a checkbox covering reminders and offers if you send both. Make membership and billing texts part of the same clearly described consent.
Watch out
Honor STOP immediately and confirm it. With recurring billing and frequent messages, members are quick to opt out and quick to complain if it does not work. A clean, working STOP flow protects both compliance and your reputation.
Common questions
Do gyms need 10DLC for member texts?
Yes. Class reminders, billing notices, and promotions all require 10DLC when sent from a standard number.
Can I text members about billing and promos on one campaign?
Billing notices are transactional and promotions are marketing. If you send both, describe both at opt-in, and consider separate campaigns so the consent matches what you send.
What if a member texts STOP but still owes money?
You must honor STOP for marketing and reminder messages. Handle billing and collections through the channel the member agreed to, and never ignore an opt-out to keep sending texts.
