In short
A 24-hour gym needs single-person access control linked to the membership software, with a turnstile or anti-tailgating door; video surveillance of entrances and rooms; a way to call for help, such as a button or intercom; an alarm for closed areas; and remote management to open doors, review incidents and see occupancy.
Key elements
| Element | What it is for |
|---|---|
| Turnstile or anti-tailgating door | One person per access. |
| QR, card or face access | Validated by the management software against membership. |
| Video surveillance | Entrances and rooms, with remote incident review. |
| Help button or intercom | Calling for help after an accident or problem. |
| Alarm | Protecting reception, storage and areas not in use. |
| Remote management | Open doors, view occupancy and receive phone alerts. |
Data protection
- Never cameras in changing rooms or toilets.
- Face recognition needs justification and stronger safeguards; QR or cards are common alternatives.
- Information signs and a limited footage retention period.
