Free Vending Machines for NYC Gyms & Fitness Studios.

⚡Now taking new gym and fitness studio accounts. Check if your space qualifies for a free machine.

Your Members Already Buy This Stuff. The Question Is Whether They Buy It From You.

Every member who walks out of your gym hits the bodega next door for an electrolyte drink. Or stops at the smoothie place on the way home for a protein shake. Or grabs a protein bar from a CVS three blocks away.

They're already spending the money. The only question is whether that purchase happens in your space — where it doubles as a member experience win — or somewhere else entirely.

Lumi changes that. A modern, well-stocked vending machine right inside your gym means your members get what they need on the spot. They stick around longer. They feel taken care of. And you build the kind of member experience that's hard to copy.

Built for the Way Your Members Actually Train.

Gym vending isn't office vending shrunk down. Your members aren't reaching for candy bars and warm soda — they're reaching for protein, electrolytes, recovery, and clean hydration. The product mix has to reflect that, and so does the brand fit.

What makes our gym service different:

• Stocked for fitness, not snacking — Protein bars, protein shakes, electrolyte drinks, recovery formulas, BCAAs, low-sugar hydration, sugar-free energy drinks, clean snacks. The products your members are already buying elsewhere.

• Premium-leaning selection — Names your members recognize and trust — not the cheapest possible SKUs we could source. Quality matches what your gym sells.

• Modern cashless machines — Credit, debit, Apple Pay, Google Pay. Members tap and go between sets. No cash. No fumbling.

• Aesthetics that fit your gym — Clean modern machines that look like part of the space, not an embarrassment. We'll match your brand register.

• Remote inventory monitoring — Empty slots get filled before your front desk hears a complaint.

• 24-hour maintenance response — Issues resolved within 24 hours. A broken machine after a Saturday morning rush is on us, not you.

• No square footage tax — A single machine takes about 4 feet of wall space. We work around your floor plan, not the other way around.

Different Gyms, Different Member Demographics — Same Product Discipline.

We tailor product selection to the gym. A boxing gym in Astoria, a yoga studio in Williamsburg, a CrossFit box in LIC, and a hotel gym in Midtown all need different mixes. Here's how we think about it:

Combat Sports Gyms

Hydration-heavy, protein-forward. Electrolyte drinks, recovery formulas, protein bars, real food bars for between sessions. Low-sugar options for fight-week cuts.

CrossFit Boxes & Strength Training

Protein-dominant, BCAA-friendly, electrolyte-heavy. Protein shakes, electrolyte drinks, recovery formulas, clean energy drinks, jerky and high-protein snacks.

Cleaner, more wellness-coded selection. Kombucha, coconut water, sparkling water, low-sugar protein bars, organic and plant-based options, hydration powders, herbal teas.

Yoga, Pilates & Wellness Studios

Big-Box Gyms, Boutique Studios & Hybrid Facilities

Broader mix that covers all the above — protein, electrolytes, recovery, clean snacks, hydration, premium beverages. Built around what your member base actually buys.

Hotel Gyms & Corporate Fitness Centers

More guest-friendly, more variety. Travel-essential mix that covers a wide range of preferences and time-of-day usage. Often paired with the larger hotel or office vending setup.

Member Retention. Better Experience. Zero Operational Burden.

Whether you own the gym, run the front desk, or manage a multi-location studio brand — adding Lumi is one of the simplest member experience upgrades you can make. Real recovery and hydration on-site. Modern cashless machines that don't embarrass the space. And a partner that handles every aspect — inventory, restocking, maintenance, payments — without bothering you.

Many of our gym contacts genuinely forget we're there — which is exactly how it should be. They just notice that members are sticking around after class instead of bolting for the bodega.

Stocking a pro shop or smoothie counter -

Without the staff and overhead. Vending solves the same job at a fraction of the operational lift.

Complaints about an empty or broken machine -

We monitor remotely and act before they reach you.

Managing a vendor relationship -

One conversation with Lumi and it's handled.

Any cost to your gym, ever -

Not now, not later.

Members leaving immediately after class-

Give them a reason to stick around for two minutes longer.

How Lumi works

Step 1: Tell us about your gym.

A quick conversation about your space — type of training, member base, peak hours, and what your members would most benefit from. Takes about 10 minutes.

Step 2: We visit the site.

We come on-site to assess where the machine fits, check power access, and walk through the plan. Free, no obligation.

Step 3: We design and install.

Setup customized to your member base. Installation is quick — most single-machine setups install in under two hours, scheduled around your operating hours.

From first call to fully stocked — here's what to expect.

Step 4: Your members start using it immediately.

Cashless payments from day one — card, Apple Pay, Google Pay. Members tap and go between sets.

Step 5: We keep it running, always.

Remote inventory monitoring, scheduled restocking, and 24-hour maintenance response. Your dedicated Lumi contact is a real person, always reachable.

Questions From Gym Owners — Answered.

Is there really no cost to my gym?

None at all. No rental fees, no installation charges, no maintenance costs, no restocking fees. Ever. We earn on product sales — that's our entire business model. Your gym pays nothing.

How much space does the machine need?

As little as 4 feet of wall space and a standard outlet. We have compact models designed specifically for tighter gym spaces — yoga studios, boutique fitness, and locker areas where every square foot matters.

Do you handle 24-hour gyms?

Yes. The machines themselves run 24/7. Remote inventory monitoring catches low slots before members do. If your gym is access-card 24/7, we coordinate restocking during off-peak hours so it doesn't disrupt your members.

Will this compete with our pro shop or smoothie bar?

Honest answer: not really, and we work around it. A pro shop sells branded apparel and supplements; a smoothie bar sells made-to-order drinks. Vending handles the impulse / convenience category — the bottled electrolyte drink, the protein bar grabbed between sets. If you have a pro shop or smoothie bar, we coordinate stocking so they complement rather than overlap. Most gyms find that having both increases overall on-site spend, not cannibalizes it.

Can we choose what goes in the machine?

Absolutely — that's the whole point. We have a conversation about your gym, your member base, and what you want available. We stock around that. If you want certain brands featured (or excluded), we make it happen. You can request changes anytime after installation.

Can you handle multiple locations?

Yes. If you own a multi-location gym brand, we coordinate the rollout — one point of contact, one billing relationship, consistent service across every location. We've designed our operations to scale across NYC's five boroughs.

What about brand fit? Our gym has a specific aesthetic.

We hear that constantly. Our machines are modern, clean, and we'll work with you on placement and product selection so it feels like part of the gym, not a vending alcove. For higher-end studios and boutique brands, we recommend our cleaner-look machines and tighter product curation.

Do you do protein shakes and refrigerated items?

Yes. We use refrigerated machines for protein shakes, RTD drinks, kombucha, cold-pressed juice, and any other cold items. All temperature-monitored for quality and safety.

What if we want it removed?

Just say the word. No penalties, no exit fees. We want to be in gyms where we're genuinely adding value for members. If that changes, we'd rather know.
