More Free Time

ENJOY MORE FREE TIME…

Club owners who use our system say they enjoy the freedom to leave the club knowing that members are still able to enter and work out. How many times have you been stuck in your club on a picture perfect summer afternoon, knowing there’s a slim chance that members will come in, but needing to be open during posted hours.

“Our system allows you to work at your club as needed and allows members to work out any time they want. It’s the best of both worlds!”

Competitive Advantage

GAIN A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE…

Lack of time….that’s the number one reason people give for not joining a fitness center! When you offer prospective members the convenience of working out 24 hours a day, you’ll put an end to this road block. Plus, you’ll get a competitive edge over other clubs by offering your members unlimited access.

Not only that, but as an independent club owner, you’ve probably also noticed the phenomenal growth of franchises such as Anytime Fitness and Snap Fitness 24/7. These franchises are the fastest growing fitness clubs in the country, and they may be expanding into your area.

The saying goes that the best defense is a strong offense. Your best bet to prevent clubs like these from poaching your members is to stop them before they come. When scouting new locations, they study existing clubs in the area. If you already have 24/7 access at your fitness center, they will often move on to the next town.

“Convert your club today and stop the franchised clubs in their tracks! A Access and Surveillance Systems is just what you need.”

INTEGRATED SYSTEM…Some of our customers prefer to have us build and configure their computer system for them. With your choice of fitness management software pre-installed on a Dell(TM) computer, you can simply take the system out of the box, plug it in, and you’re done. The installed software allows your valid members to access the fitness center 24 hours a day – without increasing payroll costs. In fact, owners of the clubs that we convert actually reduce payroll costs by staffing the facility only during peak traffic hours. Your computer will confirm the validity of each member wishing to access the facility, and will either allow or deny entry based on parameters defined in the software.

ACCESS SYSTEM…
If you already have compatible software, our access system offers efficient control of your entry door at a very reasonable price. Sophisticated, yet simple-to-use technology lets members swipe a key tag at a weatherized bar code reader outside your club. Once membership is confirmed by your software, our door controller interface unlocks the door for a brief time, allowing entry. If entry is denied, the door remains locked, and the member gets a reason why access was denied based on your software – for instance “membership expired”.
DIGITAL SURVEILLANCE… Surveillance is a high priority in your fitness center, especially during unstaffed hours. Our standard Surveillance System includes 4 color cameras with images recorded on a digital video recorder (DVR). A DVR is similar to a VCR, except that you have instant access to specific times in the recording history. You can view the DVR history on your computer using the network interface. In fact, you can even choose to view your club’s video cameras from the World Wide Web with your high-speed internet connection! Many of our customers prefer to upgrade to an 8 camera system. Additional cameras work to eliminate blind spots in your facility. Click here for Access and Surveillance Systems.

To deter members from allowing others to “tailgate” into your club behind them, we offer a Tailgate Detection System, which interfaces with your DVR to log the occurrence. At that point, you can even have your DVR e-mail you a picture of the tailgate infraction, or simply review it at your convenience. The TDS, as it is more commonly known, interfaces directly with the door controller that’s included with your access system. In fact, Spectrum was the first company in the fitness industry to introduce an access system with tailgate detection compatibility built right in.
PANIC BUTTONS…The “Spectrum” system now offers a Panic Button System which gives your members added peace of mind, knowing that emergency assistance can be requested 24 hours a day, even when the club is unstaffed. Wireless panic buttons will be installed throughout your club, and you will be provided with wireless panic necklaces which members can wear for added security. Our central station will monitor your panic system 24/7/365, and if a panic button is pressed, they will dispatch the proper authorities, as well as alerting you of the occurrence.

EXPERIENCE COUNTS…
Fitness360 has provided technical products and services to the commercial fitness market for over a decade. When World Gym(TM) made the decision to enter the 24/7 fitness center market with their own franchised system, they turned to our system. In fact we worked directly with World Gym(TM) to convert their own corporately owned fitness club to 24 hour access – providing access control, surveillance, and a panic button system. We’ve worked with such industry leaders as Twin Oaks Software, ASF International, ABC Financial and Coral Springs Software. Click here for Access and Surveillance Systems.

Offering your members 24 hour access to your fitness center is a big decision. You can rest assured that you have made the right choice when you select Spectrum to help you manage your club’s conversion. We are experienced, reliable and proud of our excellent reputation.

WE’RE FITNESS CENTER OWNERS TOO!…
Spectrum owns and operates two of our own 24/7 fitness centers (check them out for yourself at www.fitnesswhenever.com). Being an owner of this unique type of facility for nearly 10 years has given us insight into what it takes to operate successfully. This experience as a club owner has helped us to develop our automated system in a real-world environment, and has allowed us to test new products thoroughly before introducing them to the public. We know what features are important to club owners, especially as they relate to the operation of an unstaffed facility. We have seen first hand the higher sales and lower expenses that result from offering club members this system. In fact, the success of our first club is what convinced us to open a second.

No one can show you a better way of converting your club than a company who has actually done it themselves…………..

WE’RE HERE FOR THE LONG RUN…
We’ve shipped well over 100 systems throughout the United States. We’re drawing on our own experience and the input of our customers to refine the hardware required to meet the needs of 24/7 clubs. In addition, several software vendors have used our input to develop more efficient and reliable solutions for 24/7 clubs.

We have standardized our systems so that we may keep critical components in stock. This allows for quick response time and better technical support should you ever have a concern that can’t be remedied by phone or remote access.

MAINTAIN YOUR INDEPENDENCE…
If your goal is to maintain your independence while still running your club more efficiently, we have the solution for you.

Unlike franchisors, which typically require thousands of dollars up front in franchise fees, and then charge another $300 – $500 a month in ongoing royalties - once you purchase a system from us, your financial obligation is done. Did you know that despite the money you spend on a franchise, you will still be required to purchase access, surveillance, and security systems at your own expense?

Let us show you how to convert your club while maintaining your independence. You’ll be amazed at the increased sales you’ll make during your grand re-opening!

“Choose the “Spectrum” system, a sound business decision.”

“See what people are saying about us!”

· Marie from World Gym says…
“Switching to 24 hour access was definitely a good choice. Members love the 24/7 because it allows them to workout on their schedules. I can’t think of anything that I would want to change about your system – it’s perfect!”

· Wade from 24/7 Fitness says…
“We have an Anytime Fitness and a Snap Fitness within 5 miles of our club and we have pulled a lot of members away from them. Our club and the 24/7 system has exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend Fitness360 Fitness Services to anyone considering opening a 24 hour facility.”

· Donnie from Fitness Warehouse says…
“Converting to 24/7 with Fitness360 was the best decision we ever made. We used to open at 5:30AM, but the dependability of that early shift worker was always a problem. There’s nothing worse than getting a phone call from a member at 5:30AM complaining that the club isn’t open. With Spectrum’s system, we never get those calls anymore.”

· Mike from World Gym says…
“We have the surveillance system using remote monitoring at both clubs. The best feature is when the alarm company calls you at your home you can just click and view what is going on at your club. A great tool for all club owners!”

· Bob from Ice Athletic Center says…
“Our location pushes the limits of capability with the distance from the computer to the door of 180′. The solution you have provided has worked well even at that distance. Just as important to me is your support when I made this change. It is nice to know that you provide superior technical knowledge that assures a successful implementation.”

· Paul from Eade Fitness says…
“The marketing advantage I gained with a 24/7 club has allowed me to greatly reduce the money spent on advertising. The system sells itself through member referral. The most beneficial value of the 24/7 system has been seen in increased membership sales.”

· Anita from Express Fitness for Women says…
“I’m so happy with the access system. It’s been great and it’s saved me so much money on payroll! At first the members were a little hesitant, but now they love it. I staff our club only 39 hours per week and only during the busy times.”

· Ted from Every Body says…
This 24/7 system has really made my life much easier. Thank you!”
