Is Timeo a good Vibefam alternative for a gym in Malaysia?

If your gym needs memberships, PT packs, classes and a door that only opens for paying members, Timeo covers all of it in one system built in Kuala Lumpur, priced in ringgit per location, with door hardware we supply ourselves.

How much does Timeo cost for a gym?

Gyms usually pick Advance at RM99 a month per location, which includes memberships, packages and gate entry. Team at RM119 adds staff commissions and granular permissions. There is no setup fee and no contract.

Is door access an extra monthly fee on Timeo?

No. Gate entry is part of the Advance and Team plans. The reader and lock kit is one time hardware, priced per device, with no monthly hardware fee.

Can I keep my members and their remaining packages when I switch?

Yes. Upload a spreadsheet under Customers, Import with each member and their current plan, expiry date and, for PT packs, the sessions used. Every member arrives with their active package, so the door and class booking work on day one.

Do WhatsApp reminders cost extra?

No. Reminders and receipts send from your own WhatsApp number, unlimited, on every plan. There are no message credits to top up.

Can my front desk use Timeo in Chinese?

Yes. The owner and staff console runs in English or 中文, and anyone can switch the language from the console.

Why Malaysian gyms pick Timeo

Built and supported here. Timeo was founded in Kuala Lumpur, and you reach the people who build it on WhatsApp.
Our own door hardware. The Timeo Gate reader reads the member app pass, wallet passes and NFC cards, checks the membership at that moment, and refuses a lapsed member with the reason on screen. Supported turnstiles and face terminals use the same check.
Flat price per location. RM99 a month on Advance covers memberships, packages, classes and gate entry for one location. Another outlet is an add on from RM49 a month.
WhatsApp on your own number. Reminders and receipts go out from your business number, unlimited, with no credits.
English and 中文. Front desk staff can run the console in Chinese while the owner uses English.

Door entry that follows the membership

A member scans the rotating QR in the Timeo app, a wallet pass or a registered card. Timeo checks their package right then. Active members get in and the entry lands in your door log. When a package ends, the door stops opening, either straight away or after a grace period you choose. Read how it works for a gym door access system in Malaysia, or see the Timeo Gate reader.

Switching takes one spreadsheet

Export your member list, add each member's current plan, expiry date and, for PT packs, the sessions used, then upload it under Customers, Import. Every member arrives with their active package and signs in to the member app with the email you imported.
