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.


Additional Camera Features

These are available within Rhombus but are independent of the Fitness GM integration:

  • License plate and vehicle tracking

  • Unusual traffic pattern detection

  • Advanced footage search (e.g., find all instances of a red shirt)

  • Face-specific alerts — get notified when a specific person appears on camera

  • Multi-camera video wall monitoring
