Predictable revenue starts with reliable access control
45% of clubs lose up to €29,250 per year due to fraudulent entries
Problems that hit your revenue every day
Most often, money disappears at the entrance. Plugging these leaks is the fastest way to grow profit without extra ad spend
Research shows that up to 10% of users get in without paying during unstaffed hours
We can cut unauthorized entries by up to 95%
Reluctant or unable to stay open without staff
24/7 unstaffed or, at most, a couple of staff hours
Not all gates are the same. The wrong type or a gate that’s too slow either creates lines or lets unpaid visitors slip in
A fast, quick-reset gate and a sufficient number of lanes ensure smooth traffic in both directions
Connecting gates with the gym’s other systems is cumbersome
Gates built for fitness centers work with all systems—no integration required
How does it work?
Access control gates for fitness centers: Misuse drops by over 95%. The gates enable 24/7 operation without a front desk by preventing unpaid entries—the investment pays back quickly
Present a credential: wristband, NFC card, key fob, mobile key, or visitor QR to the reader device
The visitor presents their credential to the reader on the gate, just like at the front door or reception desk
Status check: CRM/Billing
The system queries the club’s management platform via API: is the membership active, are there any payment delays, is nighttime access allowed, etc
Entry for a paying user
The gate wings open, and anti-tailgating features in different models prevent two people from entering at the same time
Works with all domestic (and international) systems: Wisenetwork, BRP Systems, Confirma, Kulkuri, Enkora, Tehden, Timmi, and others

Frequently asked questions
How much does a single-lane gate cost, and what drives the price?
Tripod turnstile: from €2,500–3,500; swing gate: €3,000–4,000; speed gate: €7,500–12,000; full-height: €6,000–13,000. Price drivers include: gate model, outdoor spec (IP65/heating), order quantity, finish/branding, and delivery time.
Can we run 24/7 without a front desk, and how safe is it?
Yes. We offer different types of gates with different levels of anti-tailgating (follow-through prevention). Gates open with emergency release whe the fire alarm system is activated. At night — remote monitoring and an agreed operating protocol.
Is it compatible with our CRM?
Yes. Our gates and turnstiles work seamlessly with any access control system. No need to calculate integration costs.
How are unpaid entries prevented?
Anti-tailgating features on the gates eliminate about 90% of the misuse, jump over is less common but can be prevented with higher models. And for the rest we have a semi-automated camera surveillance to detect misuse.
What entry methods are supported?
Card/key fob, wristband, mobile key/Wallet, one-time QR; biometrics (fingerprint/face).
What happens during a power outage?
Fail-safe: wings open automatically and, on barred/rotor gates, passage is released; connection to the fire alarm system.
Are additional electrical works needed?
The gate needs standard 230 V mains power, and both gate control and the access reader can be run over a single 10-pair MHS cable. We’re happy to help with cabling design — or even execution.
What is the warranty?
Hardware — 24 months (option to extend to 36 months).
Can the product be branded to our company look?
Yes: any RAL color, logos on glass/wings, adjustable lighting, finish options to match the interior.
Is it suitable for outdoor use?
Many of our gate models are suitable for outdoors with IP65 protection, heating, and AISI 304/316 stainless steel; operating temperature down to −20 °C (with heating).
How are single visits and trial passes handled?
It depends entirely on the access-control system; the gate follows its commands like any other “door”.
What payment options are available?
Purchase, 24–36-month leasing, payment plan. We’ll gladly prepare a calculation based on your preferences.
