Gyms & Sporting Facilities Access Control Solutions

Leisure, sports, recreation centres, swimming pools, and private gyms need to create a welcoming space while maintaining discreet, high-level security. Rotech’s Gyms & Sporting facilities access controls solutions help strike the perfect balance – delivering safe, user-friendly systems that manage member and visitor access efficiently.

Fast, safe, efficient speed gates and turnstiles are essential to the operational success of any visitor or member-driven facility. Screening entries to allow only approved entrants and managing visitor numbers is key to maintaining a safe and secure environment.

Ensuring Safety and Controlled Access at Gyms and Sporting Facilities

When it comes to maintaining control and ensuring safety in leisure centres and gyms, turnstiles and speed gates enable centre operators to:

Keep non-members out and allow guests to enjoy their facility with an easy-to-access entry point

Ensure everyone who enters the facility is authorised and pays entry fees, reducing revenue leakage

Provide members with faster entry, removing traffic congestion at reception to validate their membership otherwise

When connected with membership management systems, these solutions collect valuable data, providing insight into member behaviour and patterns.

Pedestrian Access Control for Gyms

Turnstiles and speed gates are increasingly common in gyms for access control, offering a blend of security and efficiency, perfectly suited for gyms and health clubs. Gym entrances experience heavy foot traffic, particularly during peak hours, resulting in bottlenecks, customer frustration, and potential safety hazards. Our speed barriers and waist-height turnstiles provide a sleek and effective solution to manage this flow.

Gyms and health clubs require robust access control to protect member entry and ease of entry. Our speed gates offer a discreet yet highly effective method for managing entry and exit, allowing only authorised members to access the facility. This enhances security and contributes to operational efficiency.

Pedestrian Access Control for Sporting Facilities and Leisure Centres

Turnstiles and speed gates are increasingly common in gyms for access control, offering a blend of security and efficiency, perfectly suited for gyms and health clubs. Gym entrances experience heavy foot traffic. Our full-height and waist-height turnstiles are consistently used to manage large crowds at sports venues and leisure facilities. These access control gates are a highly effective method of managing surges and unauthorised entry, ensuring seamless and secure access control. For critical events needing increased security, our full-height turnstiles and speed gates offer a reliable barrier and provides robust crowd control, limiting access and maintaining order.

High pedestrian flow management is essential to reducing crowded entrances and exits in any location that attracts large numbers of people. Rotech’s range of security turnstiles is ideally suited for leisure centres, sporting facilities, stadiums, aquatic centres, entertainment venues and theme parks, efficiently managing foot traffic, preventing bottlenecks and ensuring smooth flow.

Access Control Options for Gyms & Sporting Facilities

Tripod Turnstiles

Our TriStar J18 AT bi-directional waist height turnstile and TriStar SL3 slim-line turnstiles are a cost-effective option, suitable for gyms with moderate traffic. These turnstiles offer a cost-effective security solution. Their compact design and reliable access control make them a valuable asset.

Full-Height Turnstiles

Rotech’s F21 full-height Australian-made security turnstile offers the highest level of security, preventing virtually any unauthorised entry. Often used in 24-hour gyms or facilities with unmanned entrances, they are integrate with all standard access control systems.

Speed Gates

Designed for high-traffic areas, offering fast and efficient access, our Sentinel Z23 fast access swing gate and Sentinel Z58B flap barrier have a more modern and sleek design, making them ideal for upscale gyms. Speed gates are very good at preventing “tailgating”, where someone tries to sneak in behind someone with authorised access.
