The provider of intelligent entrance control and outdoor security solutions, Smarter Security Systems, today announced that to secure the entrances at its clubs, a national, franchised fitness center with nearly 800 locations, Anytime Fitness, has chosen its Fastlane Door Detective. Door Detective ensures that only one person enters a club each time a member presents electronic credentials at the main entrance. Smarter Security, by reducing the prior "tailgating" problem the fitness center experienced, helps to enable the promise of 24-hour access in a financially competitive and sustainable way.

As it features microprocessors programmed with neural network software, Door Detective is unique in doorway entrance control. Infrared beams from enclosures mounted on the door frame monitor how many people pass through an open, access-controlled doorway. The intelligence in the Fastlane technology virtually eliminates false alarms as alarms identify violations.

The preferred security vendor for Anytime Fitness is ProVision. Due to its nationwide service presence and its expertise in the design and integration of security, surveillance, and access control systems, from a pool of security companies, ProVision was chosen by the international franchise and awarded the "preferred vendor" designation.

Opening its first club in 2002, Anytime Fitness today is not only the largest 24-hour, co-ed fitness club, but is also the fastest-growing franchised fitness club in the world. Convenience is a hallmark of the brand, and 24/7 access is offered in every club location. Anytime Fitness, to reduce the staffing requirements of its franchisees, requires an access control and anti-tailgating solution be used at every location. Franchise owners, with Door Detective, can go home in the early evening confident that they are not losing revenue to people who should be paying dues and that their clients feel secure in the club while they exercise.
