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
Please note that 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
