# Rhombus Integration Guide
## Automate member access and check-ins using facial recognition, wave to unlock, or key fobs
### How the Integration Works
- Fitness GM automatically creates members' Rhombus profiles
- Fitness GM pushes member data to Rhombus in a one-way sync — **active** members are **granted** access, **inactive** members are **denied** access
- Members are checked into the general facility upon entry
- Check-ins are time and date-stamped automatically
- Check-in data is visible in both the Rhombus entry log and the Fitness GM recent access log
> Note: Any permissions created directly inside Rhombus will not sync back to Fitness GM
---
### Check-In Methods
**Facial Recognition**
- Requires a photo on file in the member's Rhombus profile
- Member enters gym → Rhombus camera detects member → Facial recognition matches their profile photo → Member is automatically checked in
- No action needed from the member
**Wave to Unlock**
- Member must have the app downloaded to use this method
- Member waves at the door reader → Automatically checked in
- Geofenced unlock limits can be applied — member must be within a set distance of the door before unlock is triggered *(recommended for staff use)*
**Key Fob**
- Staff assigns a key fob to the member's Rhombus profile
- Member taps their key fob at the reader → unlocks the door and checks member in automatically
---
### Equipment Required
- Rhombus access control system
- Camera at entrance
---
### Best For
- Gyms that want a hands-free member check-in experience
- High-traffic or high-volume locations
- Large or 24/7 facilities
- Multi-location gym groups managing access from one dashboard
---
### Available Access Control Settings
- Set which doors members, staff, or specific groups can access
- Schedule automatic door lock/unlock times by day and time
- Set start and end dates for member credentials
- Remotely unlock doors from the console or mobile app
- Manage mobile badges for staff or members
- Enable wave to unlock or key fob access in addition to facial recognition
- Use geofenced limits on wave to unlock (recommended for staff only)
- Create lockdown plans to instantly lock or unlock all doors in an emergency
- Create alerts for door opens, force opens, badge/face mismatches, etc.

- License plate and vehicle tracking
