This is essential for your fitness studio, but it needn’t be expensive.
Access control is a major headache for many fitness studios. Traditionally, it’s a costly investment, yet your studio’s security and revenue rely heavily on it. Access control ensures the right people have easy entry while keeping out expired memberships, potential threats, and unwanted guests. This calls for a reliable and robust system.
If your fitness studio wants to maximize profits, it needs to stay open longer. That means knowing who’s there for a late-night workout and who’s just looking for a place to crash. Wellyx makes it simple.
Turnstiles allow only one member in at a time, maintaining tight security even during peak hours.
These gates are incredibly durable and open within seconds once a member’s ID is scanned. Access is made easy through NFC, BLE, or key fobs. Turnstiles are installed at the entrance of your fitness studio, and if you’re renting the space, you’ll need the owner’s permission for installation.
Speed gates are perfect for busy areas that need quick and efficient access control. Their modern design enhances aesthetics while keeping unauthorized visitors out.
With a wider passage than turnstiles, they provide better accessibility. However, they take up more space and may require extra safety sensors to ensure smooth operation in crowded settings.
Magnetic locks are the silent guardians of your fitness studio, no noise, no fuss, and no extra moving parts. They open instantly and close within 3-5 seconds.
The upside? They’re easy to install and don’t require landlord approval as they don’t involve any permanent fixtures. The downside? If the power goes out, the locks will open, leaving your fitness studio vulnerable to potential intruders.
This centrally-fitted lock is your most secure option, ensuring even a strong individual can’t easily bypass it. Strike locks are an excellent choice for your main door protection. They can be configured to remain locked or open during emergencies.
Unlike magnetic locks, they do not require continuous power and can be configured for fail-safe or fail-secure modes based on security needs.
When you buy Wellyx software, you can connect it directly to any access control system you choose. While many fitness studio management software options require costly third-party interfaces, Wellyx has this built in saving you hundreds of dollars in subscription fees. No wonder so many fitness studios love this feature. It removes unnecessary ongoing costs and integrates seamlessly with your chosen system. Why not talk to one of our experts to learn more?
We recommend using a mix of locks to maximize security and convenience: magnetic locks for easy installation, strike locks for added protection at main entry points, and turnstiles to ensure a smooth flow at reception.

Yes. You can mix and match turnstiles, magnetic locks, and strike locks to suit different areas of your fitness studio. For example, use turnstiles at the entrance, magnetic locks for staff-only zones, and strike locks for extra security.
Magnetic locks will automatically open for safety while strike locks and turnstiles remain secure. If power loss is a concern, we recommend backup power or a combination of locks to maintain security.
It depends on the lock type. Turnstiles and strike locks may require landlord approval, while magnetic locks don’t because they don’t involve drilling or permanent fixtures.
With Wellyx, you can allow any prospect to visit your studio. All you need to do is to make them a member and issue them a day pass for easy access. Thus, it allows you to provide a remarkable fitness experience to trial members without compromising your studio security.
