Gym Secure FAQ’s

Still unsure exactly how Gym Secure works?
Here we answer the most common questions to help you understand exactly what’s included, what triggers a response, and how gyms are using our event-triggered monitoring to stay safer for less.

No. Gym Secure is not a 24/7 live surveillance service.
We provide event-triggered monitoring. That means our operators only review CCTV footage when an integrated device (anti-tailgate alarm, panic alarm, fire door activation, remote patrol finding, etc.) generates an alert. We then verify the incident and follow your escalation procedure. This avoids the high cost of live monitoring while still providing professional response when it matters most.

Any integrated monitoring device or system can trigger an event, including:

  • Anti-tailgate alarms

  • Panic alarms

  • Fire door activations

  • Suspicious activity alerts

  • Scheduled remote patrol findings (e.g., door left open, occupancy anomaly)

Once triggered, our operators immediately review the associated CCTV footage to verify what happened.

Remote patrols are scheduled or random checks – not continuous live monitoring.
Examples include: reception checks, fire exit checks, occupancy anomaly checks, loitering detection, gym floor inspections, and door/shutter verification.
Patrol frequency is tailored to each site. If a patrol finds an issue (e.g., unsecured door), that triggers an event and our operators then verify via CCTV and escalate.

Response begins immediately when an event is triggered.
Our operators verify the incident via CCTV in real time, issue audio warnings if appropriate (e.g., deterring unauthorised entry), and escalate according to your site SOP – typically key holder notification, emergency services, or operational reporting.
You receive a full incident report with supporting evidence.

Yes – but with clear expectations.
Gym Secure gives you greater confidence to run partially staffed or unstaffed hours because you have professional event-triggered monitoring and escalation in place.
However, we do not provide live 24/7 eyes-on-screen surveillance. For most gyms, our model reduces costs while still catching tailgating, suspicious activity, and alarm events effectively.
