Security System Benefits for your Gym
Published on Friday, July 17th, 2020

As any gym owner knows, there are plenty of risks to be had with any fitness facility. Every day, more than 10,000 people are treated in emergency rooms across the country for injuries stemming from sports, recreation, and exercise. So, how can a security system benefit your gym?
Access Control
Access Control is a powerful tool that can be implemented by fitness centers to prevent entry from unauthorized guests. If you operate a 24-hour facility, you can assign customers a unique code allowing them entry into your facility. 24/7 Fitness, a longtime customer of AlarmSouth, manages their membership through an access control system. Allowing them to give each member a unique code, grant them access, and track when a member visits the facility. Access control can also be used within the facility, preventing members from accessing unauthorized areas.
Panic Buttons
Panic Buttons are something every fitness facility should implement! Panic buttons can be installed throughout your facility, especially in areas where injury risk is high such as a free weight area. These buttons connect directly to our monitoring center, where we can quickly dispatch a medical unit to your facility. This can provide your customers with peace of mind and reduce the need for extra staff members to supervise members throughout the day.
Video Surveillance
Any business can benefit significantly from a camera system, especially a gym! You can have cameras inside or outside of your facility, and even integrate your cameras to work with your access control or panic buttons. With an integrated camera, our monitoring center can view the cameras during a panic button alert, see what is happening in real-time, and relay critical information to dispatchers. Cameras can also help you determine if a member has damaged or even stolen equipment or other items.
