Receipts Launches IRL Check-Ins, with 50+ Locations in NYC, to Reimagine the Wellness Economy

Receipts has launched IRL check-ins across New York City, transforming more than 50 gyms, studios, run clubs, and public parks into a single network.

Available now in the App Store, users can download the Receipts app, connect their wearable, and earn rewards when they tap-to-check-in at partner locations. F45 Union Square, F45 Tribeca, SESSION TRAINING, District, Lyons Den Power Yoga, MOTIVNY, BODYROK, Rep Collective, Movement Room, Gotham Pickleball, Velto Pickleball, Founders House, Myo, and select run clubs have joined the Receipts network.

Gyms and studios benefit from a distributed rewards network and unique member engagement. People are rewarded for taking care of their health, supporting local businesses, and utilizing public parks. Fitness and wellness brands directly reach high-intent customers and community.

Tapping In

Gyms, studios, and run clubs in the Receipts network receive NFC-enabled pucks to facilitate real-world check-ins. Receipts pucks require no power or setup and operate separately from existing booking and client management software.

Participation in the Receipts network is free for location partners.

Receipts helps partners with discoverability, member engagement, and foot traffic. Every partner has placement on the in-app map, making it easy for people to discover and visit. Each partner’s logo has visibility whenever a user checks in at their location. Partners also have access to an analytics dashboard with unique insights from wearables and check-in data.

Users on Receipts activate rewards to complete when they tap-to-check-in at partner locations. Every time a user checks in, with any puck in the Receipts network, they make progress towards that reward.

Aligning Incentives So Everyone Wins

Receipts’ three-sided network is built for the growing $6.8 trillion wellness economy. The platform operates as a connective layer across three key pillars:

• People: Users connect their wearables to the Receipts app and earn rewards through verified physical activity and verified check-ins.
• Places: Gyms, studios, spas, shops, clubs, & parks function as location partners, utilizing check-ins to drive discoverability, engagement, and foot traffic.
• Brands: Brands in fitness and wellness fund rewards and offers to directly reach high-intent customers, access in-person communities, and bypass social media ad spend.

Brands in wellness spend an estimated $280 billion a year on digital advertising, much of it on Meta and Google. At the same time customer acquisition costs rise, people are also spending less time scrolling and more time on their personal health, working out with friends, and in-person experiences.

Receipts allows brands to re-route their ad spend directly into the physical world, meeting people where they already are. Cookies and algorithms are replaced with verified activity from wearables and real-world behavior from check-ins.

Local businesses generate more revenue, municipalities see increased utilization of public space, brands connect directly with active customers, and people get rewarded for being healthy, supporting their local communities, and connecting with other humans.
