Consumers expect solutions that can adapt to unpredictable schedules imposed by today’s frenetic lifestyle. Fortunately, in this digital era, people are getting used to interactions that are not directly with a real person. As a result, the use of autonomous solutions—such as training machines with integrated video-courses or automatic access systems to the sports centre—is facilitated, but at the same time highly-efficient integrated security systems are essential. Let’s take a look at the various aspects of gym security and how to implement highly-efficient automated solutions.

Wellness centres consist of many different types of areas: “wet” zones (swimming pools, spas, showers), sport zones (equipped gyms, training rooms, outdoor courts/pitches for sport activities), changing rooms, clinics, beauty centres and offices. All the different points of risk must be checked for each area. The installation of several sensors for water leaks, smoke (for fire) and gas detectors will detect problems within all areas. The sensor sends a signal to a central unit and this sends a notification to operators via an app, wherever they may be. Automatic systems enable situations to be controlled remotely and, in some cases, even permit intervention, e.g. via meters with automatic reset of voltage.

Smart security systems can be installed alongside the sensors dedicated to structural problems. These smart security systems are based on presence sensors and can be associated with high-resolution video cameras, which are effective against unwanted entry and possible theft. The use of presence sensors also offers benefits in terms of optimising costs via the automatic activation of lights in less trafficked areas of the gym such as toilets, changing rooms or technical rooms.
