You can’t staff the front desk 24/7, but your gym access control system can. And when it’s powered by Wellyx, you do more than opening doors. You increase profits, freedom, security, and a better member experience.
Wellyx is a full-fledged gatekeeper system. Cut out those third-party interfaces on access control and save big sums.
All-inclusive access control
Wellyx gives you a fully integrated access control system that needs no third party software. Apart from the simplicity of the plug & play approach, it keeps & analyses all the data of the comings and goings for your gym.
Easy installation
Wellyx gym access control can be installed quickly and integrates with all doors and turnstiles. Whether you run a gym, yoga studio, or fitness center, the setup is straightforward and hassle-free.
Attendance monitoring
Track both member and staff attendance in real time, giving you complete visibility over who is using your facilities. Ensure security, maintaining capacity limits, and keep operations smooth across all your fitness locations.
Wellyx gives you precise control over facility access by linking entry to active memberships, specific services, and defined time slots. You can set access windows for classes, gym hours, or special sessions, ensuring that only members with valid subscriptions or booked services can enter at the right time.
This ensures optimized facility usage, and complete security, giving both your staff and members confidence in a well-managed, professional fitness environment.
With the system’s database, doors and turnstiles can be unlocked even when the internet is offline, ensuring uninterrupted access at all times. The system syncs with the cloud whenever connectivity is available to verify membership status and keep records up to date.
Our dual cloud-compatible gym software with access control system lets fitness studio owners monitor and manage entry remotely, blocking unauthorized access and maintaining security across all locations 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Turnstiles are great for access control in high-volume flow where there is some oversight to prevent jump overs.
They make exiting easy and have a relatively low footprint. However, they do require solid installation to the floor, and this will need permission from the landlord of the building you are operating from.
Speed gates are ideal for high-traffic areas requiring fast and seamless access control. Their sleek design ensures a modern look while effectively preventing unauthorized entry.
They offer a wider passage than turnstiles, making them more accessible. However, they require more space and may need additional safety sensors for smooth operation in crowded environments.
Magnetic locks provide a secure and reliable way to control access without physical key mechanisms. They use powerful electromagnets to keep doors locked until access is granted via keycards, codes, or biometric scanners.
These locks are easy to install and work well in high-security areas. However, they require a constant power source and may need backup systems in case of power failures.
Strike electric locks are a versatile access control solution that works with traditional door latches, releasing the lock electronically when access is granted. They are commonly used in offices, residential buildings, and secured facilities.
Unlike magnetic locks, they do not require continuous power and can be configured for fail-safe or fail-secure modes based on security needs. However, proper alignment is crucial for smooth operation.
Gyms, health clubs, fitness centers, and other membership-based businesses can significantly reduce staffing costs with automated check-in and out. The swipe card entry system provides touchless entry or keyless entry and 24-hour access.
Wellyx support and maintenance are all included in the license fee. Instantly monitor in real-time member attendance to make more timely interventions. Protect your business via safer, streamlined identity management of your customers using a key fob entry system.
Wellyx’s tailgating system ensures that only one authorized person can enter per access event, preventing unauthorized members or visitors from following someone through entry points. This adds an extra layer of security to your gym, yoga studio, or wellness center, protecting your facilities and maintaining capacity limits.
An access control system is a security solution that manages who can enter or use specific areas or resources within a facility ensuring only authorized individuals gain access.
Enhance your security with hardware designed for studios that operate around the clock. The Wellyx pro+ reader provides fast setup, dependable performance, and access control technology built to keep every entry smooth and secure. With integrated NFC and BLE support, it connects easily to member credentials and mobile devices for quick, verified access.
Engineered for real-world conditions, the Wellyx pro+ reader performs reliably in all environments and comes with an IP56 rating, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installation.
The device is available for a one-time cost of $399.
Wellyx NFC cards are built for fast, secure, and contactless entry across your facility. Each card uses NTAG215 technology and supports ISO14443 A & B and ISO18092 standards, ensuring broad compatibility and reliable performance. Designed for durability and consistent tap-and-go access, these cards integrate seamlessly with Wellyx Access Control to deliver smooth check-ins and dependable security for both members and staff.
Key fobs give members a compact, easy-to-carry way to access your facility using Wellyx access control. Designed for durability and consistent performance, they attach to any key ring and provide quick, reliable entry ideal for 24/7 gyms, fitness studios, and wellness centers that want convenience without compromising security.
NFC tags provide a simple, contactless way for members to access your facility through the Wellyx access control system. Each tag is designed to store a unique encrypted identifier, allowing the system to verify permissions instantly at the door. The tags perform consistently in cold temperatures and everyday wear conditions, and their water-resistant build helps protect the chip against moisture, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
Any fitness studio hoping to maximize profit and value must first expand its opening times. That requires an access control system that works without physical staff, saves time, and has low hardware maintenance costs.
In return, it moves the right people and profits in. Wellyx makes all that easy by offering a robust 24-hour access control.
We recommend a combination of locks that play to their particular strengths: magnetic locks for ease of installation, strike locks for security at main entry points, and turnstiles for smooth flow at reception.

The Wellyx gym access control system has a one-time hardware cost of $399. Unlike third-party access control solutions that charge ongoing per-door fees or licensing subscriptions, Wellyx includes access control functionality in your standard subscription at no additional cost. You pay for the hardware once, and the software, support, and updates are included. This pricing model eliminates the compounding costs that gym owners often face with standalone access control systems that charge monthly fees per door or per location.
Wellyx integrates with all standard access control hardware that connects to an electronic relay or controller. This includes turnstiles (ideal for high-traffic reception areas with staff oversight), speed gates (modern aesthetic for premium facilities, wider passage than turnstiles), magnetic locks (easy installation on existing doors, high security with minimal wear), and strike electric locks (works with existing door latches, energy-efficient with fail-secure options). Most gyms use a combination of hardware types. For example, turnstiles at reception for smooth member flow, magnetic locks on side entrances for convenient installation, and strike locks on high-security areas like equipment storage rooms.
Yes, Wellyx access control includes offline capability to ensure members are never locked out due to temporary connectivity issues. When your facility’s internet is unavailable, the system uses the member’s mobile phone data connection as a backup to authenticate access. The access event is logged locally and syncs with the cloud once connectivity is restored. This dual-connection approach means your 24/7 gym access remains reliable even during internet outages, and you maintain a complete attendance record without gaps.
Yes, every time a member or staff member uses the access system, their check-in is logged with a timestamp, location, and entry point. You can view real-time attendance from your Wellyx dashboard, seeing exactly who is currently in your facility at any moment. Historical attendance data is available for reporting, helping you understand peak usage times, identify underutilized hours, and monitor capacity across multiple locations. This data integrates with Wellyx member profiles, so you can also track individual attendance patterns and identify members at risk of disengaging.
Wellyx allows you to configure automatic access blocking when membership payments fail. You can set the system to immediately restrict facility access upon payment failure, or apply a grace period (for example, blocking access 3 days after a failed payment to allow time for card updates). Before access is blocked, the system can send automated email or SMS reminders prompting the member to update their payment method. This automation reduces awkward front-desk conversations and ensures only paid members access your facility, directly protecting your revenue.
Yes, Wellyx integrates with most modern CCTV and security camera systems. This integration links video footage with access logs and member profiles, so you can quickly pull up camera footage from the exact moment a specific member checked in. This is valuable for investigating incidents, verifying attendance disputes, and enhancing overall facility security. The combined access log and video record provides a complete audit trail for any entry event at your gym.
Yes, 24/7 online technical support is included in your Wellyx subscription at no additional cost. If you encounter any issues with your access control system, the Wellyx support team can run remote diagnostics to identify problems quickly. Most issues can be resolved remotely without requiring an on-site technician visit. The support team is experienced with common access control hardware configurations and can guide you through troubleshooting steps or escalate to hardware manufacturers when needed.
To implement 24/7 gym access with Wellyx, you need access readers (compatible with key fobs, access cards, or mobile devices), an access controller unit to manage the hardware, your chosen door locks or entry barriers (turnstiles, speed gates, magnetic locks, or strike locks), and a stable internet connection. Wellyx provides guidance on compatible hardware options and can recommend configurations based on your facility layout and member volume. The system is designed to work with industry-standard equipment, so you’re not locked into proprietary hardware.
Yes, members can use the Wellyx mobile app for contactless check-in via QR codes displayed on their smartphone screen. This works alongside traditional key fobs and access cards, giving members flexibility in how they enter your facility. Mobile check-in is particularly popular with members who prefer not to carry additional items, and it eliminates the cost of issuing physical key fobs to every member. The app also allows members to view their attendance history and manage their membership on the go.
Wellyx includes tailgating prevention functionality that ensures only one authorized person can enter per access event. When a member scans their key fob, card, or mobile QR code, the system grants single-person entry before resetting. Turnstiles and speed gates physically enforce this by only allowing one person through per scan. For door locks without physical barriers, the system logs each access event individually, and you can configure alerts for rapid successive entries that may indicate tailgating. This prevents non-members from following paying customers into your facility, protecting your revenue and maintaining accurate attendance records.
Yes, Wellyx provides centralized management for access control across all your locations from a single dashboard. You can monitor real-time attendance at each facility, configure location-specific access rules, remotely lock or unlock doors at any site, and view consolidated attendance reports. This is particularly valuable for gym chains or franchises where consistent access policies and centralized oversight are essential. Members with appropriate membership types can be granted access to multiple locations based on their plan.
Yes, Wellyx takes data security seriously. All access data is encrypted both in transit and at rest, protecting member information at every touchpoint. The system is fully GDPR compliant, meeting European data protection standards for handling personal information. Access logs, member credentials, and attendance records are stored securely with appropriate access controls. Gym owners retain full control over their data and can export or delete member information as required by data protection regulations.
No. Wellyx has transparent pricing with no hidden charges. The access control hardware is a one-time $399 payment. After that, access control functionality is included in your Wellyx subscription with no additional per-door charges, licensing fees, or third-party costs. This is different from standalone access control systems that often charge monthly fees per door, per location, or per user. Wellyx support and maintenance are also included in your subscription, so there are no surprise service fees.
