CityFitness is one of the largest fitness gym chains in New Zealand. With almost 50 gyms across the country (average area: 5,000 square metres), each facility is open 24/7 and accommodates a huge number of people daily.
A tailored automatic speedgate solution that is secure, reliable, and efficient is imperative to ensure quick access to their facilities and prevent unauthorised individuals from entering the gyms.
Integration with a third-party platform
CityFitness has an existing access control system from a third-party supplier. Integrating Dahua turnstiles with this system was not a simple task.
Nevertheless, working together with a local partner installer, the local Dahua team was able to successfully integrate the Dahua turnstile gates with the existing third-party platform.
Solution: Intelligent access control
Dahua’s turnstile gates were successfully deployed in 10 gym facilities of CityFitness across the country. These swing turnstiles include DHI-ASGB610X-L (left side), Dahua DHI-ASGB620X-D (centre of dual lanes), and DHI-ASGB610X-R (right side).
This solution provides an automatic access control management specifically tailored to City Fitness’ actual requirements for security, reliability, and efficiency. It is equipped with a built-in accurate people-counting function and infrared anti-tailgating sensors to prevent unauthorised access.
Flexible integration
It can be easily configured for single and multi-entry setups, making it suitable for a wide range of applications
An alarm will sound if someone follows an entering person without swiping. It can be flexibly integrated with third-party platforms, with several access methods available such as RFID, facial recognition, and QR code scanning.
Also, it can be easily configured for single and multi-entry setups, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
Results: Safe, reliable, and efficient access control
This automatic speed gate solution developed by Dahua significantly transformed the access control management in CityFitness facilities, enabling quick access to their gyms while ensuring the safety of their members.
The local Dahua team also provides unwavering service and support that significantly contributed to the overall success of the project.
Anti-tailgating technology
“CityFitness chose Dahua because their speed gate exceeded our expectations. It enhances our access control, and its anti-tailgating technology ensures a safe environment,” says Clint Paul, National Security Manager at CityFitness.
"The integration options and configurability make it perfect for our needs."
