Prevent tailgating with a gym access control system
Tailgating has always been a problem for gyms, as traditional security measures often allow non-members to slip through the net. But with the right gym access control system in place, you can stop unauthorised entry, boost your bottom line, and make sure your members enjoy their workout in peace.
What is tailgating?
Tailgating, also known as piggybacking, occurs when an individual passes through your gym’s entry point or access control system by closely following the person in front of them. It drains your revenue and frustrates paying customers who want to feel safe and secure, which can leave you shelling out more for extra staff.
How a gym access control system can help
GymSafe’s 24-7 anti-tailgating technology monitors your facility during unstaffed hours to restrict unauthorised access. Detection equipment at entry points and strategically placed CCTV cameras are used to identify possible tailgating attempts, which are then investigated by our control room operators.
If a non-member has snuck through, our operators report the incident to a keyholder in real time and issue audio warnings to alert the wrongdoer they’ve been caught. In most cases, they make a quick exit with their tail between their legs.
Good news for you
Member fees cover equipment wear and tear, consumables, and facility upkeep. By showing tailgaters the door, you guarantee the only people using your gym are the ones who’ve paid to be there, reducing lost revenue from unpaid fees.
A 24-7 gym access control system also means you can extend your opening hours without paying more for security staff. In turn, this allows members to work out on their schedule, lessening bottle necks at peak times to keep things running smoothly.
And, of course, you’ll sleep soundly knowing we’re there to deal with emergencies anytime.
No stress. No hassle. Just total protection, day and night.
Good news for your members
With 83% of members feeling frustrated by tailgating, and 64% more likely to use a 24-7 monitored facility, a gym access control system keeps your members happy too.
Promoting fair use of your gym lets paying members know you value and care for them, building stronger relationships between you and the people who matter most. And because you’ve got their back with CCTV surveillance, they’ll enjoy complete peace of mind every time they visit.
The result?
Your members won’t have a reason to look elsewhere.

How much an anti-tailgating gym access control system could save you
Operating a 24-hour gym can significantly increase your revenue. Usually, you’d have to employ at least 2 additional staff members to cover 56 off-peak hours per week. Based on minimum wage, that’s around £31,000 in staffing costs each year.
GymSafe replaces the need for extra staff with a state-of-the-art monitoring solution and gym access control system. A standard package that includes CCTV operator monitoring during unstaffed periods of up to 8 hours a day would cost just £7,100 per year.
That’s an estimated £23,900 in savings every year – money you can’t afford to miss out on.
