Wellyx gives gyms 24/7 access control for a one-time hardware cost of $499 per entry point, with no per-door fees, no third-party software and no need to replace existing locks.
DALLAS, Oct. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Wellyx, a trusted gym management software provider in the fitness industry, is offering gyms, studios and health clubs an access control system that is paid for once. The Wellyx Pro+ access unit costs $499 per entry point, and access control is then included in Wellyx's Exceed and Ultimate plans with no per-door charges, licensing fees or third-party costs.
For many fitness businesses, access control is a cost that never ends. Standalone systems often charge a monthly fee per door, per location or per user, on top of the gym's management software. They also tend to require a separate platform, a separate support contract and, in some cases, new locks. For an operator with several entry points or several sites, those charges return every month for as long as the doors are in use. Wellyx removes them by building the hardware and the software itself.
One Payment, No Recurring Door Fees
The Wellyx Pro+ access unit is a one-time purchase of $499 per entry point. After that, gyms on the Exceed or Ultimate plan pay nothing extra to use it.
Included in the Exceed and Ultimate plans:
- Access control software for every door
- Software updates
- 24/7 online technical support with remote diagnostics
This gives owners a fixed, known cost per door instead of a bill that grows with every entry point they add.
In-House Hardware, No Third-Party Integration
The Pro+ unit is Wellyx's own hardware and reports directly into the Wellyx platform. There is no separate access control software to license and no integration between two vendors to maintain. Gyms manage memberships, access permissions and attendance from one dashboard, and deal with one company for software, hardware and support.
Works With The Locks Gyms Already Own
The Pro+ unit connects to standard entry hardware through an electronic relay or controller, so gyms can keep the doors and barriers they have already paid for.
Supported hardware includes:
- Turnstiles
- Speed gates
- Magnetic locks
- Strike electric locks
A gym switching to Wellyx avoids the cost of removing working equipment and installing new locks.
Access Rules Tied To Memberships And Payments
Because access control is part of the same platform as the member record, entry decisions follow the member's status in real time. Gyms can:
- Limit entry to activememberships, booked classes or set time windows
- Block access automatically after a failed payment, immediately or after a grace period
- Send email or SMS reminders before access is blocked
Members enter with an NFC card, a key fob or a QR code in the Wellyx member app.
Every Entry Logged As Attendance
Each entry is recorded with a timestamp, location and entry point, and appears in the member's profile. Owners can see who is in the facility at any moment, review peak and quiet hours, and spot members whose visits are declining. Operators with several sites manage all of them from the same dashboard.
Built For 24/7 Operation
Unstaffed hours are now common in the industry. According to the Leisure DB State of the UK Fitness Industry Report 2025, 35% of private gyms and fitness clubs are open 24/7. An access system that works without front-desk staff is what makes those hours possible.
"The access control alone paid for the switch," says Duquaine Brooks of Lyon Fitness Center. "Our early morning classes open without staff on site, and members appreciate the seamless entry."
Executive Perspective
"A gym should not have to pay rent on its own front door," says Dominic Stone, CEO of Wellyx. "We built our own hardware so owners pay for it once, keep the locks they already have, and put their money into the things that grow the business."
Supporting Smarter, Scalable Gym Operations
With one-time-cost access control, Wellyx continues its commitment to providing an integrated platform for fitness businesses. The Wellyx Pro+ access unit is available now, along with NFC cards, key fobs and branded credentials. Full details and pricing are on the Wellyx hardware page.
