Verified on Mat Track

A gym with this badge has proved it runs the gym, and keeps its own details here up to date. This is exactly what we check.

What verified means

The owner is confirmed. Someone who runs the gym claimed the page, and we checked it was really them before marking it verified.
The details come from the gym. Verified pages are kept up to date by the gym itself. Our crawler never overwrites them.
It’s current. The badge shows the year the gym was verified, with a stripe for every year since, up to four.

How does Mat Track confirm who runs a gym?: We approve a claim when it comes from an email address on the gym’s own website domain, from a link we sent to the gym’s own address, from the gym’s own Instagram account, or from a public record we have checked by hand. A personal email address on its own is never enough.
What do the stripes on the badge mean?: One stripe for every year since the gym was verified, up to four, like the stripes on a belt.
Can a gym pay for the badge?: No. The badge can’t be bought, and showing it on a gym’s website doesn’t change where the gym appears on Mat Track. No gym can pay to rank higher.
What happens if a gym closes?: The badge stops saying verified. The image on the gym’s website turns into a plain Mat Track logo, so their page never shows a broken image.
I run a gym. How do I get the badge?: Claim your gym’s page, free. Once we’ve confirmed you run the gym, open your page and choose “Get your website badge”, or use the link in your verification email.
