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
