Lockout Fitness, a high-energy training gym located in Chicago, Illinois, is committed to delivering a secure, modern, and frictionless experience for its members. With a growing membership base and extended access hours, the gym needed a reliable access control solution that would protect the facility while enhancing convenience for both staff and members.
The Challenge
Lockout Fitness required a secure access control system that could support flexible member access without adding administrative burden. Managing physical keys, fobs, or cards was inefficient and posed risks such as lost credentials and unauthorized access. The gym also wanted a solution that aligned with its modern brand, reduced friction at the entry point, and provided visibility into access activity without requiring on-site management.
The Solution
To meet these needs, Lockout Fitness partnered with Linx Security to deploy a Brivo cloud-based access control system. Brivo provided a scalable, easy-to-manage solution that allows gym management to control and monitor access to the facility remotely through a secure cloud platform.
A key component of the solution was Brivo Mobile Pass, which enabled Lockout Fitness to eliminate traditional keycards and fobs entirely. Members are now able to unlock the main entry door using their smartphones, creating a seamless, touchless entry experience. Access credentials can be issued, modified, or revoked instantly, giving gym staff full control over who can enter the facility at any time.
The Brivo system also provides real-time access event tracking, allowing management to quickly review door activity and ensure the facility remains secure during both staffed and unstaffed hours.
The Results
The implementation of Brivo access control has significantly improved both security and member satisfaction at Lockout Fitness. Members enjoy a smooth, keyless entry experience using Brivo Mobile Pass, reinforcing the gym’s commitment to convenience and modern technology. The elimination of physical credentials has reduced operational headaches, removed replacement costs, and minimized the risk of lost or shared access devices.
From a management perspective, the cloud-based Brivo platform has streamlined operations by allowing remote access management and real-time visibility into facility activity. Lockout Fitness now benefits from a professional-grade security solution that scales with their business, enhances operational efficiency, and supports a premium member experience.
Overall, the Brivo access control system has helped Lockout Fitness strengthen security, simplify access management, and deliver a more seamless and modern experience for its members—positioning the gym for continued growth and success.
