Gyms & Fitness
Vending machines built for gyms.
Give members protein, electrolytes, and recovery products on demand — without staffing a counter. Vending IQ places smart vending machines in gyms and fitness centers nationwide, stocked with the products your members actually want.
Why choose our program
Fitness-first product mix
Protein bars, shakes, electrolyte drinks, recovery powders, and water — not candy and chips.
Custom branded wraps
Free vinyl branding with your gym's logo and colors. Looks like a member amenity, not a vending machine.
24/7 revenue without staff
Members can grab a shake at 5am or 10pm. No front-desk staffing required.
A retail counter without the overhead
Most gyms know members want supplements and snacks — but running a juice bar or pro shop means staffing, spoilage, and another POS system. A smart vending machine solves it. Members tap their card, grab a protein shake, and you don't lift a finger. We handle stocking, expiration tracking, and product rotation. You get a clean, modern machine in your lobby or training floor that members use every day.
Best products for gym vending
• Protein bars (Quest, RX Bar, Built Bar, Pure Protein) • Protein shakes (Premier, Fairlife, Core Power) • Electrolyte drinks (Liquid IV, BodyArmor, Gatorade) • Pre-workout single-serve packets • Recovery powders and BCAAs • Bottled water and sparkling water • Healthy snacks (almonds, jerky, rice cakes)
Placement options
We install combo machines (snacks + drinks) or dedicated refrigerated units for protein shakes and fresh items. Most gyms get one snack/drink unit near the lobby and a second refrigerated unit on the training floor. We work with the space you have.
