FAQ
Please explain the process behind using the location-finder button to display nearby gyms on a map
It is designed to help you find gyms near your current location. To do this, it uses a combination of your device's GPS coordinates and your IP address. Here's a step-by-step explanation of how the location finder works:
-
GPS Coordinates: The location finder first attempts to access your device's GPS coordinates. This is done through the Geolocation API provided by modern web browsers. When you click the "Find Gym Near Me" button, you may be prompted to grant permission for our website to access your location data. If you allow access, the location finder will use your device's GPS coordinates to find gyms in your vicinity.
-
IP-based Geolocation: If the location finder is unable to access your GPS coordinates, it will fall back to using your IP address to estimate your location. While IP-based geolocation is generally less accurate than GPS, it still provides a reasonable approximation of your location. Using this method, the location finder will attempt to identify your general geographic area and find nearby gyms accordingly.
Please note that the accuracy of the location finder can vary depending on the method used to determine your location. GPS coordinates typically provide the most accurate results, while IP-based geolocation may only offer a rough approximation of your actual location. Regardless of the method used, our location finder is designed to help you discover gyms in your area quickly and conveniently.
The location data gathered by the location finder is used solely to provide you with relevant search results at the moment you use it and is not shared with third parties or saved anywhere.
