Access-control engineering for chain gyms and 24-hour fitness clubs: facial recognition, IP CCTV and membership/CRM SDK integration for unmanned 24/7 self-service entry.
Overview
Challenges
- For chain gyms and 24-hour fitness centres, unmanned self-service operation depends on a stable access-control system that integrates with the membership system.
- Manned front desks cannot cover round-the-clock hours, and managing memberships and permissions consistently across branches is hard.
Solution Design
- New Forward Technology provides end-to-end ELV access-control engineering for gyms and chain clubs, from planning and supply to installation and system integration.
- Facial-recognition access terminals replace manual checks, and full IP CCTV coverage lets members enter at any hour.
- Access controllers integrate with an existing CRM or membership system via SDK/API, so entry rights activate the moment a member pays and membership changes sync automatically to every branch's turnstiles.
Core Benefits
- Access and CCTV across all branches feed a central management platform, with real-time alerts and audit trails for anomalies.
- With proven experience deploying gym access control and CCTV across a large chain of around 250 branches — and the ability to integrate on-site hardware such as INBODY — New Forward is a reliable access-control supplier and contractor for gyms and chain clubs in Hong Kong.
