(For Coaches & Gym Owners)

If you’re a coach or gym owner using TeamUp alongside BoxMate, there’s an important step you’ll need to complete before you can fully use the member app.

To access your classes, view bookings, and manage attendance from your phone, you’ll need to set up a consumer (customer) account in TeamUp—just like your members do.


Why You Need a Consumer Account

Even though you manage your business through TeamUp, your admin account cannot be connected to the BoxMate member app.

Instead, you’ll need:

  • A consumer account in TeamUp

  • An active membership applied to that account

This allows you to experience and use the app exactly as your members do, including:

  • Viewing the class schedule

  • Seeing who’s booked in

  • Marking members as attended or no-show

  • Managing everything directly from your phone


Step 1: Check if You Already Have a Consumer Account

Before creating anything new, it’s worth checking if you already have one set up.

  1. Log into your TeamUp account

  2. Click the dropdown in the top right-hand corner

  3. Look for a consumer/customer account in the list

👉 If you see one — you’re good to go!


Step 2: Create a Consumer Account (If Needed)

If you don’t already have a consumer account, you’ll need to create one.

Make sure:

  • You use an email address you can access

  • You assign a valid membership to the account

This step is essential, as the membership enables full access to classes within the app.


Step 3: Connect to BoxMate

Once your consumer account is ready, the final step is to connect it to BoxMate.

  1. Open your BoxMate member app

  2. On the home screen, select the “Connect TeamUp” pink button.

  3. Use the same email address and password as your TeamUp consumer account.

Once connected, your accounts will sync automatically.


What Happens Next?

After connecting, you’ll be able to:

  • View all your classes in one place

  • Check who’s booked in

  • Mark attendance and no-shows

  • Manage your gym on the go
