Gym screens for class timetables, membership promos and trainers
OutDeck is digital signage for gyms and fitness studios: it shows your class timetable, membership promos and trainer profiles on the TVs at reception and on the workout floor. Show different content to the early morning and after-work crowds, line up next week's timetable to appear on its own, and keep the screens playing all night if you never close.

What a gym can show on its screens
-
This week's class timetable
Your classes for the week as an image, scheduled by date so next week's timetable takes over on Monday by itself.
-
Membership promos
Joining fee waivers, student rates or a Merdeka month deal, each set to run only on the dates it is on offer.
-
Trainer profiles
A slide for each personal trainer with their speciality and how to book a session at the front desk.
-
Workout demo videos
Short clips showing how to use the machines safely, playing on the workout floor between your promos.
-
Morning and evening crowds
Early class promos before work, then personal training packages for the after-work crowd, switching on their own.
-
Screens for 24-hour gyms
For gyms that never close, screens can play through the night, with a quieter late-night playlist after 11pm.

Each row is one schedule in scheduling. Screens that are online switch by themselves in your shop's time zone; add dated rows, like a festive menu, ahead of each season.

on the Startup plan
One portrait TV at reception for the timetable and trainer profiles, and two landscape TVs on the workout floor grouped as "Floor", so one schedule changes both. A gym that closes at night sets display hours; a 24-hour gym leaves them off.
Work out your own setupHow do I swap in next week's class timetable ahead of time?
Export each week's timetable as an image and put it in its own playlist. Give it a schedule from Monday to Sunday of that week, with a higher priority than the reception screen's everyday playlist. You can set up a month of timetables in one sitting, and each one takes over on its start date in your gym's time zone on every screen that is online.
If a class changes mid-week, replace the image in that week's playlist. Timetable screens that are online fetch the new image within seconds by themselves, and the change starts at the end of the current loop.
Can gym screens show different content in the morning and evening?
Yes. Add a schedule with a daily time window for each crowd, such as 6am to 9am on weekdays for morning class promos and 6pm to 10pm for personal training packages. Outside those windows the floor screens go back to their everyday playlist.
Point those schedules at the "Floor" group so both floor screens change together, while the reception screen keeps showing the timetable.
What should a 24-hour gym set up on its screens?
Leave display hours off so the screens keep playing through the night. Keep awake is on by default, so the player does not drift into a screensaver. If your TV has its own sleep timer, turn that off in the TV settings.
Turn on a nightly restart of the player app at a quiet hour, such as 4am, for a fresh start each day. A late-night playlist from 11pm to 5am runs as one block across midnight.
Can I film workout demos on my phone?
Yes. Upload them as MP4 or MOV files, up to 100 MB each, and add them to the floor playlist between your promos.
Videos that an Android TV might struggle with are converted in the background into a TV-friendly format, at up to 1920 pixels on the long side, so phone clips are easier for the TV to play.
Common questions
Can a gym screen show the class timetable?
Yes, as an image. Export the timetable from the tool you design it in, upload it, and schedule each week's version by date. OutDeck does not link to booking systems, so the screen shows the timetable you upload.
Can a gym screen promote a class just before it starts?
Yes. Add a schedule with a short daily window on the class days, such as 5.30pm to 6pm on Monday and Wednesday before a 6pm spin class, pointing at a playlist with that class's promo. Outside that window the screen goes back to its usual playlist.
Can a gym trim a long workout video for the floor screens?
Yes. Set a time on that item in the playlist, for example 30 seconds, and the screen plays only the first 30 seconds before moving on. Without a time, a video plays to the end.
