# Uplifter set up my club for me: how do I get in?

> Accept the administrator invitation Uplifter emailed you, and see what happens next with setup and your trial.

<Note>
  **Must know**

  * **The invitation link works for 7 days.** If it's lost or expired, Uplifter support can send a new one, which replaces the old link.
  * **To accept, you set a password and add a phone number.** You also confirm you're 18 or older and agree to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
  * **After you accept, first-run setup opens.** On a paid plan your 30-day trial is already running, so add a payment method before it ends.
</Note>

**How it works.** Uplifter can create your club on a chosen plan and email you an invitation to be its first administrator. The subject reads "You've been invited to join \[your club]", or "Uplifter invited you to join \[your club]" if you already have a login.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the invitation email">
    Select **Set Up Your Account** or **Accept Invitation**. Either opens the same page; what it asks depends on whether you already have a password.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set up your account">
    New to Uplifter, or never set a password? The page reads **Set Up Your Account**: "Setting up access for \[your name] (\[your email]) at \[your club]". Fill in:

    * **Password (required)**: a checklist ticks off each rule as you type.
    * **Confirm Password (required)**.
    * **Phone Number (required)**: the country picker opens on your club's country.
    * Tick **I confirm that I am 18 years of age or older.** and the **Terms of Service** and **Privacy Policy** box. The SMS box is optional.

    Select **Create Account & Join**. A line under the button lists anything still missing.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Or join with your existing login">
    The page reads **Join \[your club]** and asks only for confirmations you haven't given before. Select **Accept Invitation**, then sign in. If you already work at another club, that sign-in may open it instead, so [switch to your new club](/club/get-set-up/switch-between-clubs).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start first-run setup">
    In your new club, first-run setup opens: **Brand your site**, **Your gym's details**, **Set up your homepage**, then the go-live checklist.
  </Step>
</Steps>

**If the link doesn't work.** The page says why:

| The page says | What to do |
| - | - |
| "This invitation has expired. Please contact the administrator for a new invitation." | Ask [Uplifter support](/club/get-set-up/contact-uplifter-support): email [support@uplifterinc.com](mailto:support@uplifterinc.com) (your club has no other administrator yet). New to Uplifter? **Email Code** on the sign-in page also sends a new link; that email's button reads **Accept Invitation** but opens **Set Up Your Account**. |
| "This invitation has been cancelled" | Email [Uplifter support](/club/get-set-up/contact-uplifter-support) at [support@uplifterinc.com](mailto:support@uplifterinc.com). |
| "A newer invitation was sent to this address." or "Invalid invitation link" | Open the newest invitation email. |
| "This invitation has already been accepted" or "You already have an account. Sign in." | Select **Go to Login**. |

**If you pressed Google or Microsoft instead.** New to Uplifter with your invitation still open (up to 7 days)? You'll see "You have an invitation waiting" instead of signing in. Open the link in your email, or choose **Email Code** on the sign-in page with that address to get it again, even after the 7 days pass.

**Your trial is already running.** On a paid plan, the 30-day trial starts when Uplifter creates your club, not when you accept, and no card is on file yet. **Settings > Organization > Overview** shows "Your club is on a 30-day trial. Add a payment method before \[date] to keep your plan. Go to billing."
