For gyms, swimming pools, spas, sports centers, and other recreational facilities, balancing the ebb and flow of visitor traffic with the protection of the building and its assets can be a challenge. Multi-use facilities have a range of different membership or visitor options which allow access to different combinations of areas and services. The access control system should be reliable and effectively handle more complex requirements.
With an online access control system such as ATRIUM, leisure facilities can offer flexibility while benefiting from confidence in the security of the premises. A dependable access control system means better security, happier customers, lower operational costs, and better reporting. With up to 1,000 access levels available in ATRIUM and camera integration, it’s easy to accommodate membership and visitor options. Backed by a 5-year warranty, ATRIUM is secure, reliable, and easy to use.
Why Should I Use an Access Control System?
Access control for leisure facilities is about providing a secure environment while empowering registered users to use the facility as they wish.
Having an efficient and easy-to-use system in place can provide many benefits for both members and staff:
- Member safety and security: guarantee only authorized individuals have entry to the facility. Reduce risk of theft, vandalism or other security incidents.
- Membership management: manage membership tiers, track renewals and expirations, and control entry to various areas/services.
- Facility monitoring and management: optimize resources, integrate with other building systems for real time monitoring and
- Operational efficiency: reduce the need for manual checks, providing quick and secure access during peak hours.
- Emergency response: access control systems can lock down facilities or help response teams identify who is present.
Cards or fobs are a crucial part of an access control system. Especially in settings like gyms or spas where memberships include access to certain facilities but not others. Credentials allow users and employees to access the areas assigned to them. No need to queue or check in with staff, creating a safer and more tailored experience. By promoting self-service and convenience for existing members, staff have more time to focus on providing the best customer service for visitors and potential new members.
