Time theft and off-site clock-ins cost fitness facilities thousands of dollars annually in unverified payroll hours. GoLivWell solves this with native GPS geofencing built directly into the staff mobile app and web console.
Step 1: Enable Staff Geofencing Toggle
Under Settings, navigate to the Geofenced Check-Ins module. Toggle the master switch to active.
Step 2: Choose Your Enforcement Tier
GoLivWell offers three distinct levels of enforcement depending on your operational culture:
| Enforcement Mode | Staff Experience | Manager Action |
|---|---|---|
| Off | Can clock in from any location | Zero tracking |
| Warn (Manager Review) | Clock-in proceeds with location warning | Flagged in payroll audit log for approval |
| Strict (Hard Lock) | Clock-in button disabled outside GPS radius | 100% verified physical presence |
Step 3: Calibrate the GPS Radius Slider
Use the dynamic radius slider (ranging from 10 meters to 10,000 meters) to match your studio footprint. For urban boutique studios, a 20m – 30m radius prevents coaches from clocking in from neighboring coffee shops while accounting for indoor smartphone GPS drift.
Step 4: Review Real-Time Attendance Audit Logs
Every clock-in record is logged with timestamp, staff ID, and distance from facility center, guaranteeing full operational accountability.
