Your members can access your gym using the Gymflow Members App, while staff access the gym using the PDK app (pdk.io).

Staff are managed directly in your PDK dashboard rather than through Gymflow β€” this keeps staff access separate from member access.

Setup a Staff Access Group

If you haven't already created an access group for your staff, you'll need to do this first in PDK:

  1. Log in to your PDK dashboard

  2. Navigate to Groups and create a new group (e.g. "Staff Access")

  3. Add the doors (devices) you want your staff to be able to open

  4. Optionally, add a schedule if you want to restrict the hours staff can access (see Create PDK Access Groups for more detail on schedules)

Grant Staff Access

  1. From your PDK dashboard, go to People

  2. Click + Add Person

  3. Enter the staff member's details

  4. Click + Add to Group and select the Staff Access group you created

  5. Have your staff download the PDK app from the App Store or Google Play

  6. Staff log in to the PDK app with the email they were added with and they'll be able to open doors assigned to their group
