In a fitness environment where gym shorts have no pockets and members leave wallets locked in change rooms, cash-only vending is commercially obsolete. Over 92% of all gym transactions occur via mobile digital wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay) or contactless RFID membership wristbands. Installing a protein vending machine with card reader and seamless gym software integration captures every post-workout impulse purchase. Discover how Nayax cashless telemetry and RFID member billing maximize route revenue in 2026.
