How facial recognition access works
From onboarding to automatic access — three simple steps
1. Facial onboarding
The member is photographed from several angles during registration — at reception or the kiosk. A biometric profile is created and automatically linked to the subscription.
2. They approach the turnstile
On every visit, the member stops in front of the tablet mounted on the turnstile. The front camera starts the face scan automatically.
3. The door opens automatically
SmartGym verifies the subscription and opens the turnstile in under a second. Access is logged automatically in the member's history.
Why biometric access at the gym?
The fastest, most secure access control system for your members
Instant access, zero friction
The member no longer searches for a card or pulls out their phone. They walk up, the camera recognizes them, the door opens. Zero wait at the entrance.
Subscription sharing — impossible
Facial recognition completely eliminates fraud: a face cannot be lent or transferred. Only the subscription holder gets access.
24/7 operation with no reception staff
The gym runs non-stop without a receptionist at the turnstile. The system is fully autonomous and logs every entry and exit.
Affordable hardware — any Android tablet
You don't need specialized biometric equipment. Any Android tablet or phone with a front camera is enough.
Biometric self-registration kiosk
New members complete facial onboarding on their own at the kiosk, without waiting at reception. The process takes a few minutes.
Biometric time tracking and full reports
Every entry and exit is logged automatically — with exact time, member identity and subscription status.
Your face — the best access card for your gym
It isn't lost, left at home or lent out. Facial recognition is the most secure and convenient biometric access control method.
