Gym Entrance Membership Verification Swing Gate Turnstile 1400mm 304 Stainless Steel Acrylic Arm 30 People Per Minute

Product Introduction

This gym entrance swing gate turnstile is designed for fitness clubs, 24 hour training studios and sports centres that need to confirm an active membership at the door without keeping a receptionist on shift. Each member passes with an IC/ID member card, a face, a QR code in the club app or an NFC phone, and the control board checks the membership status with the club system before the acrylic arm opens. Expired, frozen or unpaid memberships are refused at the lane, which stops card sharing between friends and keeps the member count honest. The arm opens in 0.5 seconds and passes 30 people per minute, so a class change at 7 pm does not create a queue in front of the studio door. Four pairs of infrared sensors enforce one person per entry, and the silent drive keeps the entry area quiet next to the stretching zone and the reception counter.

Product Features & Advantages

1. Membership Status Checked At The Lane

The control board queries the club management system at every passage, so an expired, frozen or unpaid membership is refused before the arm opens. Reception no longer has to watch the door during unstaffed hours, and the club stops losing entries to members who lend their card or share a QR code screenshot.

2. Face Or Card Entry For 24 Hour Clubs

Members can enrol a face and enter hands free with a gym bag in each hand, or keep using the existing IC/ID member card, the app QR code or an NFC phone. The lane works without staff on site, and the club can release a gate remotely from the back office when a new member signs up at night.

3. 30 People Per Minute At Class Change

The acrylic arm opens in 0.5 seconds and the lane passes 30 people per minute, or 40 people per minute in normally open mode. When a 7 pm class ends and the next group arrives, members clear the entrance instead of crowding the reception desk.

4. One Person Per Entry With Four Pairs Of Sensors

Four pairs of infrared sensors cover the 550-850mm channel. A second person trying to slip in behind a member triggers the alarm output and holds the arm, which protects the club from unpaid entries and keeps the live member count accurate for class capacity planning.

5. Quiet Drive Next To Studios And Reception

The cushioned swing arm movement avoids the loud clack of solenoid gates, so the entrance does not disturb yoga, stretching or personal training sessions nearby. Smooth motion also reduces mechanical wear and keeps service life beyond 5 million cycles, which lowers maintenance calls during peak season.

6. Connected To The Club Management Platform

Relay switch, 12V level and 12V pulse interfaces plus RS485 or TCP/IP connect the swing barrier gate to membership, booking and access control platforms. Renewals, freezes and cancellations take effect at the lane immediately, and passage records feed daily attendance and class check in reports.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can the gate check whether a membership is still valid?

Yes. The control board communicates with the club management system at each passage, so expired, frozen or unpaid memberships are refused at the lane. Once reception renews the membership in the system, the member can pass again without touching the turnstile settings.

2. What if a member forgets the card or the phone?

The member can verify by face if a template is enrolled, or ask reception to release the gate remotely from the management platform. A temporary QR code can also be issued for that single visit, so the member is not blocked at the door.

3. How do trial visitors and personal trainers enter?

The club issues a temporary QR code or a visitor card for the trial session, and the lane records the entry like any other member. Trainers and cleaning staff can be given separate permissions with time restrictions, so they only pass during their working hours.

4. Is the gate safe during a power failure?

The arms unlock automatically on power failure or on a fire alarm dry contact signal, so the lane becomes a free passage for evacuation. Backup power is available as an option for 24 hour clubs that cannot accept an unstaffed entrance during an outage.

5. How much space and maintenance does it need?

The cabinet measures 1400*160*1000mm with a 550-850mm channel, so it fits along a wall beside the reception counter, and sizes can be customised for narrow entrances. The modular design allows the drive and control board to be serviced from the top cover, with status and fault codes reported to the platform.
