I’ve always used the physical PIN code to get in because I just instinctively don’t trust the app to load reliably; never felt so validated

Both the PIN and the app feel like terrible ideas. The gym I go to uses NFC wristbands, for the turnstiles but also for the lockers.
You can actually do this, as a fob, but you have to buy one from a vending machine in the gym. Remembering the pin is easier.
That’s also really bad. Who wants to carry a wristband around everywhere? Keychain barcode tag works fine.
What do you mean everywhere? You just throw it into your gym bag.

I've never been to a PureGym; if you guys use a PIN-pad to enter does that mean they're like those unattended 24/7 gyms?
...or if they do have an attendant there, why can't they let you in with a friendly greeting like they used to in some imagined past?
They're 24/7. There are usually some staff onsite during the day, but all the entry/exit stuff is always through the automated gates.
