"Drop-in" means "to stop by without a fixed appointment". In fitness it means attending a single class by paying at the time, with no membership.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about drop-in

What does drop-in mean at a gym?+

Drop-in means attending a single class or session by paying at the time, without a membership or annual registration. You book the class, pay only for that one, and train.

What is the difference between drop-in and a membership?+

With a membership you pay a fixed fee (monthly or annual) regardless of how often you train. With drop-in you pay only for the individual classes you attend: zero commitment, zero fixed costs.

How much does a drop-in cost?+

It depends on the venue and discipline, but a drop-in session typically costs between €8 and €25. On FlexDropin you always see the price before booking, with no hidden fees.

When is drop-in better than a membership?+

Drop-in is better if you train a few times a month, travel often, want to try a new venue, or practise multiple disciplines at different places. A membership makes sense if you go very often, always to the same place.
