Frequently Asked Questions
What are fitness entry gates?
Fitness entry gates (also called gym turnstiles, membership access gates, or health club entry systems) are controlled access systems installed at the entrance of fitness centres, gyms, and recreation facilities. They verify membership credentials — via key fob, barcode, QR code, or mobile app — before allowing entry, preventing unauthorized access and membership sharing.
How do fitness entry gates prevent membership sharing?
Fitness entry gates require a unique credential (key fob, barcode scan, or mobile app check-in) for each entry. Because each credential is tied to a single member account, two members cannot share one membership. The system logs every entry with timestamp and member ID, making it easy to identify and address sharing. Facilities typically see a 15–25% increase in active paying memberships after installation.
What access control systems do your fitness gates integrate with?
Our fitness entry gates integrate with all major gym management software platforms including Mindbody, ClubReady, ABC Fitness, Gymmaster, Zen Planner, and Jonas Club Software. Integration is via API, Wiegand, or RS-232 protocol. We also support standalone operation with our own membership management module.
Can fitness entry gates handle high peak-hour traffic?
Yes. Our optical speed gates and swing gates are designed for high-throughput environments. Optical speed gates process up to 40 persons per minute per lane — fast enough for the busiest morning rush at a large fitness club. For 24-hour facilities, our gates operate unattended with remote monitoring and alarm notification.
Are fitness entry gates suitable for 24-hour unmanned facilities?
Yes. Our fitness entry gates are specifically designed for 24/7 unmanned operation. They include tamper alarms, forced-entry detection, remote monitoring via cloud dashboard, and automatic lockout for expired or suspended memberships — all without requiring staff on-site.
Do you install fitness entry gates across Canada and the United States?
Yes. Turnstile Security Systems installs and services fitness entry gates across Canada (Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, Quebec, and all provinces) and the United States. We have certified installation teams in all major markets and offer ongoing service contracts.
