Fitness & leisure
ATMs for gyms, pools and leisure centres
Casual entry, canteen buys, court hire and coaching are still cash transactions in plenty of centres. A member-facing ATM keeps that money on site.
Most enquiries receive a response within 3 hours during business hours.
Why gyms and leisure centres
What an ATM does for gyms and leisure centres
A gym or leisure-centre ATM covers casual entry, canteen, coaching and court-hire payments without adding card fees to small transactions, and it works around the clock in 24-hour clubs. Eligible sites pay nothing for the machine or its management.
- Serves 24-hour access clubs when reception is unstaffed.
- Supports canteens, vending, coaching fees and casual entry.
- Avoids card surcharges on very small transactions.
- Aquatic and court centres see strong school-holiday volumes.
- Free supply, install, cash loading, monitoring and maintenance.
What to plan for
Getting the placement right in gyms and leisure centres
Unstaffed hours
In 24-hour clubs the machine sits inside the secured member area, so access is limited to swipe-in members and existing camera coverage applies.
Wet areas
Aquatic centres need the machine kept out of splash zones — foyers and canteen areas are the usual choice.
Council and operator sites
Council-run leisure centres often need a formal licence. We supply insurance and compliance documentation for procurement.
Seasonal peaks
School holidays, swim carnivals and competition weekends spike demand. Cash loading is scheduled around your calendar.
Choose your model
Free placement, lease or buy
Three ways to put an ATM into gyms and leisure centres across Australia — pick on cost, volume and how much of the surcharge you want to keep.
| What matters | Free placement | Lease / rental | Buy outright |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | Nil | Nil | Purchase price |
| Ongoing cost | Nil | Fixed monthly rental | Cash float and servicing |
| Your share of surcharge | Agreed revenue share | Larger share | Largest Share |
| Cash loading | Managed by ATMcash | Managed by Partners -ATMcash | You or a managed plan |
| Who owns the machine | ATMcash | Partners or ATMcash | Finance - Lender |
| Best suited to | gyms and leisure centres that want income with zero cost, zero admin and zero cash handling | busier gyms and leisure centres confident of withdrawal volume that want more of the surcharge without buying outright | high-volume gyms and leisure centres — 24-hour sites, highway locations and busy late-trade venues — that are comfortable managing a cash float |

Free ATM placementFixed monthly cost
ATM lease and rental for gyms and leisure centres across Australia
Leasing or renting an ATM gives gyms and leisure centres a fixed, predictable monthly cost and a larger share of the surcharge than free placement, while ATMcash still handles installation, monitoring and technical support.
- Fixed monthly rental — no capital outlay
- Larger surcharge share than free placement
- Short and longer rental terms, including event and seasonal hire
- Optional managed cash loading or self-load with your own float
- Upgrade or relocate the unit as your trade changes
Best for busier gyms and leisure centres confident of withdrawal volume that want more of the surcharge without buying outright.
ATM lease & rentalOwn the machine
Buying an ATM machine for gyms and leisure centres across Australia
Buying means you own the ATM and keep 100% of the surcharge. ATMcash supplies new and refurbished units with delivery, installation, staff training, cash-management guidance and ongoing technical support.
- Keep the full surcharge on every withdrawal
- New units with Tap & Go, HD screens and current security standards
- Refurbished units for the lowest entry price, typically 6–12 month payback

Best for high-volume gyms and leisure centres — 24-hour sites, highway locations and busy late-trade venues — that are comfortable managing a cash float.
Buy an ATM machineAnswers
Free placement, lease and purchase questions
Yes. For eligible gyms and leisure centres there is no charge for the machine, delivery, installation, cash loading, monitoring or servicing. ATMcash is paid from the transaction surcharge, and you receive an agreed share of it.
About 60cm x 60cm of floor space (or a suitable wall for a through-the-wall unit), a nearby power point, and normal public access during trading hours.
Leasing usually wins once withdrawal volume is high enough that the extra surcharge share outweighs the fixed monthly rental. We model both options from your actual gym traffic before you decide.
Yes. Once we have several months of real transaction data we can move you onto a rental or purchase arrangement if the numbers work better for you.
Refurbished machines commonly pay back in 6–12 months at moderate volume, and faster at 24-hour or highway sites. We forecast payback from your expected withdrawal count before you buy.
Yes. Purchased machines come with technical support, parts and service options, plus guidance on cash management and reconciliation.
