Anytime Fitness Benelux Gets a Security Boost with Integrated Video Solution

Anytime Fitness Flexes Expansion Plans with Integrated IDIS Video Surveillance

Anytime Fitness health clubs in Belgium and the Netherlands are boosting profitability and fueling expansion, thanks to a savvy integrated video surveillance and intercom solution from IDIS.

As part of a global franchise boasting over 5,200 gyms, all 130 Anytime Fitness locations across the Benelux region are now benefiting from IDIS video surveillance. This tech allows for efficient and flexible remote management of gym facilities via phones and tablets, all through the handy IDIS Mobile Plus app.

The latest upgrade, installed by IDIS integration partner SPIE Fire Protection & Security, includes seamless integration with the award-winning IDIS Video Intercom (DC-I6216WRX). This makes providing smooth, secure access for members 24/7 a breeze.

One of the key draws of Anytime Fitness is its commitment to a consistent, high-quality experience worldwide. Members enjoy access to any club with just one key. Now, the new Dongen location takes user convenience and security a step further. On-duty staff, including physiotherapists and instructors, can use the IDIS system to see who’s at the door without interrupting their work. This prevents unauthorized entry and ensures a warm welcome for every member.

Crystal-clear images from the intercom pop up on staff phones or tablets, and doors can be opened remotely with a simple tap. If there’s an incident or question, images can be easily retrieved, along with the ID of any members using the facility at that time.

The IDIS end-to-end approach has proven a slam dunk for Anytime Fitness. It combines IDIS 2MP dome and bullet cameras, NVRs, VMS software, intercom units, and system accessories, all instantly compatible. This reduces cabling and installation time while maximizing system efficiency.

Lars Bijleveld, Anytime Fitness franchise owner in Dongen and Made, raves about the quality of the video footage captured by the IDIS system, particularly the video intercoms:

“The added value of the Video Intercom quickly becomes apparent,” says Mr. Bijleveld. “When someone rings the doorbell, you can quickly see on your phone or tablet who is there, communicate, and open the door if necessary. The physiotherapist no longer has to leave his treatment room. And if a prospective member is at the door during unmanned hours, I can immediately schedule an appointment.”

Carlo Kuijer, CEO of IDIS Nederland, is equally enthusiastic: “We are delighted that IDIS video technology is contributing to the profitability and success of Anytime Fitness in the Netherlands. Working with our partners SPIE Fire Protection & Security, we have created a seamless integrated video solution that combines outstanding performance, ease of use, and low total cost of ownership (TCO).”
