Setting up a kiosk tablet
Step 1: Get a pairing code
On your phone (as gym owner):
- Go to Settings → Kiosk & invites
- Under Front-desk kiosk, pick the location if you have more than one, then tap Enable kiosk for this location
- A 6-character pairing code appears
Step 2: Install MatPilot on the tablet
Download MatPilot from the App Store or Google Play on your tablet. Open the app.
Step 3: Enter kiosk mode
On the tablet, on the welcome screen, before signing in:
- Tap Set up as kiosk in the top right
- Enter the 6-character pairing code
- The tablet loads your gym's kiosk interface
Step 4: Personalise the kiosk
Once paired, tap the gear icon on the kiosk home screen (and enter that location's pairing code) to choose a background image, accent colours, and whether today's class list shows on the home screen. These display preferences are set on that tablet itself, not pushed from your phone.
Locking the tablet
For a dedicated front-desk kiosk, enable Guided Access (iOS) or Screen Pinning (Android) to lock the tablet to the MatPilot kiosk view so members can't exit.
Multiple tablets
A pairing code belongs to a location, not to one device, so you can hand the same code to several tablets serving that location, for example one at each entrance. Add another location and generate its own code to run a kiosk there too. See "Pairing multiple kiosk tablets" for details.
