Modernise your gym's entry & exit

Cloud access control systems modernise your gym for both your members and your business. Members can use the venue at any time, whether someone is at the desk or not, and move freely around the areas of the gym they are allowed access to.

For the business, every entry is logged, so you know exactly when members accessed the gym and where users are within the premises.

Membership sign ups and expiries are automated, and access is given instantly once a customer has purchased a membership. The laborious onboarding processes that take up valuable time for staff and members are no longer needed.

How gym access control works

A preconfigured door lock system is attached to your door. It only allows entry when someone enters or scans the predetermined credentials: a code, tag, ID card or biometric profile. That gives you complete control over who enters your gym and which specific areas within it they can reach. Access is granted instantly once a membership is purchased, and membership expiries are automated.

Detailed reports on how members move through your gym are available at the touch of a button.

The Advantages Of Gym Access Control Systems

How Your Gym Benefits

Enhanced security

A cloud access control system gives administrators real-time monitoring of who is in your gym at any time. That ensures the space does not become overcrowded and prevents unauthorised access from non-members.

The system also prevents code sharing and card pass backs, so members cannot bypass the rules.

Streamlined access

Your members do not want to queue to have their membership checked before a workout, and your business should not have to employ front desk staff 24/7 to open the gym all hours.

With cloud access control, members self-access using their credentials at any time the gym is open, with no manual checks. That makes it the right fit for gyms and leisure centres.

Multi-site control

OLS systems move with your company as it grows and scales. Every site you own is controlled from one centralised platform.

See which members are visiting which sites, and set up global or individual access rules depending on how you want to run your gyms. The software works to your business requirements.

Choice of access options

When you choose OLS as your access control partner, you get access to a wide variety of entry options, including turnstiles, automatic access pods and biometric options.

A range of CCTV / VSS options is also available to monitor what is happening inside the venue.

All of these systems can integrate with the software you already have through our very own OLS Connect.

Automated membership management

Membership sign ups and expiries are automated, and everything is managed through a single interface. There is no need to manually input data onto multiple systems or spend time correcting errors, which delivers ongoing cost savings on administration time.

The system is simple and easy to manage, with training provided, and everything is available from anywhere at any time via the cloud.

Integrating with your gym management and booking system

Before installation, we provide a survey to determine what needs upgrading. Often, we can integrate our solutions with your current systems, and we provide the details of our findings once the site audit is complete.

Bespoke integrations can be built with your existing booking system through either an API or flat file integration.

Our experienced in-house software developers will integrate security with your existing gym management systems, and all of our systems can integrate with the software you already have through OLS Connect.
