NigeriaThe whiteboard is out of date
A class gets moved, a coach calls in sick, and the timetable by the door is wrong until someone finds a marker. Members ask the front desk instead.

Your members look up between every set
People spend an hour or more in your gym, several times a week. They rest between sets, walk on the treadmill and wait at the studio door. Most of that time, the screens on the wall show cable news or nothing at all.
Offers get missed
Personal training packages, referral deals and the new smoothie bar sit on a flyer at the counter. The people on the floor never see them.
The TVs cost money and earn nothing
You paid for the screens and the power they use. They could be selling your services and bringing in ad revenue from businesses nearby.
What to show
Six things to put on your gym screens
Start with the class schedule display, then add the rest to one playlist. Each item shows for as long as you set, then the loop moves on.
Class schedules
Show today's classes, times and coaches by the studio door and the front desk. Schedule a different timetable for each day, so Monday's list swaps to Tuesday's without anyone touching it.
Workout of the day
Post the WOD, the movement standards and the time cap where the class can read them. Coaches upload an image or PDF in the morning and it is on screen in minutes.
Promotions
Personal training packages, bring-a-friend weeks, merchandise and supplements at the counter. Short video clips catch the eye better than a poster.
Member wins
A member of the month, a first pull-up, a finished race. A spotlight on screen builds the community that keeps people renewing. Ask members before you feature them.
Wayfinding and house rules
Point new members to the studios, lockers and stretching area. Remind everyone to wipe down equipment and re-rack weights, without taping another sign to the wall.
Local advertisers
Physiotherapists, meal prep services, sports shops and running clubs want to reach active people. Through VYPA Host they can book time on your screens, and you get paid.
Where to place screens in a gym
Put a screen where people stop or slow down, at eye level or just above. Each spot suits different content.
Entrance and front desk
Everyone passes here, members and walk-ins alike. Use it for today's classes, membership offers and anything you want a first-time visitor to know.
Above the cardio machines
People on a treadmill or bike face the same wall for 20 minutes or more. It is the best spot for promotions, member wins and local ads, because they look at it for so long.
Studio and class areas
Show the workout of the day, a countdown to the next class and the week's timetable. A split layout can show the schedule and the WOD side by side.
Lounge or smoothie bar
Members sit down after a session. Show the drinks menu, supplement prices and upcoming events. Keep screens out of change rooms.
On screen in four steps
No installer and no contract. You can have your first screen live before the evening classes start.

VYPA Host
Your members' attention is worth money
Members come back several times a week and stay for an hour. Local advertisers pay for exactly that kind of regular, repeat audience. VYPA Host sells the ad time on your screens and pays you for it.
Free to join, 70% to you
There is no fee to become a host. You earn 70% of net ad revenue after processing fees, paid automatically every month or on request.
A third of the screen stays yours
Every hosted screen has twelve slots. Eight are advertising slots that VYPA sells. Four stay yours for the timetable, your offers or anything else you like.
Ads from nearby businesses
Advertisers choose screens on a map by location and venue type, so gym screens attract businesses that want active, local customers.
Screens pay their own way. Run your content with VYPA Signage, host ads with VYPA Host, and the ad revenue can cover the CA$10 a month. Occupancy is never guaranteed, so read it slot by slot. How hosting works

Questions gym owners ask
More answers on the VYPA FAQ
How much does gym digital signage cost?
VYPA Basic is CA$10 per screen per month. Pro is CA$35 per month for five screens, and Enterprise is CA$100 per month for unlimited screens. The optional Fitness pack is CA$9 per month for your whole account. Every plan is listed on the pricing page.
Can I try it before I pay?

What hardware do I need?
A TV and one of the players VYPA runs on: the Samsung Smart TV app, Amazon Fire TV, Android or Google TV through Google Play, a Raspberry Pi 4 or 5, or the Web Player in a browser. LG, VIDAA (Hisense) and Roku are coming. The player setup guide walks through each one.
How do I show a class schedule on the gym TV?
Upload the timetable as an image or a PDF, or show a web page that already lists your classes. Then set a schedule so each day's timetable plays on that day. The Fitness pack adds timetable layouts built for this.
Can one screen show the timetable and a promotion at once?
Yes. Layouts split the screen into zones, so the class schedule can stay on one side while offers, videos or the workout of the day play on the other.
What happens if the gym Wi-Fi drops?
The screen keeps playing. The player stores your content and plays it offline, then picks up changes when it reconnects.
How can my gym earn money from its screens?
Join VYPA Host. It is free to join. Local advertisers book time on your screens, and you earn 70% of net ad revenue after processing fees, paid automatically every month or on request.
Will ads take over my screens?
No. Every hosted screen has twelve slots. Eight are advertising slots that VYPA sells, and four stay yours for your timetable, offers or anything else you want to show.
Can my business advertise on gym screens?
Yes. With VYPA Advertise you pick screens on a map, choose your dates and pay from CA$3 per day, or ₦500 per day in Nigeria. Ads are booked by the day, and you get proof that your ad played.
Can I manage screens at more than one gym?
Yes. Every screen, at every location, is managed from one dashboard. Enterprise adds unlimited screens, multi-location management and team access with role-based permissions.
