Streamlined access control for fitness and gym franchises

KisiFit is Kisi’s access control solution designed for fitness businesses, built to scale seamlessly from single gyms to multi-location franchises. It combines cloud-based software with smart hardware to automate entry, reduce overhead, and protect revenue while delivering a consistent experience across all clubs.

The system is flexible and priced according to:

• Software plan based on the number of clubs, doors, and add-on features you need
• Kisi hardware (only the Controller Pro 2 is required to get started)
• Optional Kisi credentials, such as Kisi key cards, Apple Wallet Passes, fobs, or stickers

The price includes a 5-year warranty on hardware, 24/7 support, and over-the-air updates. Discounts are available with annual contracts. Check out the KisiFit pricing and get a tailored quote!

Yes, Kisi integrates with relevant software and hardware, including leading fitness and franchise management platforms like ABC Ignite, Mindbody, ABC Glofox, Gymflow, and Gymdesk, so access can sync automatically with memberships, bookings, and payments. When someone signs up, renews, or cancels, access is updated in real time without extra admin.

If you already have an access control system, you don’t need to replace everything at once. By adding the Kisi Controller Pro 2 and the Wiegand Board, you can keep compatible readers, fobs, turnstiles, and wiring in place while moving to the cloud step by step.

Kisi also integrates with camera systems, alarms, and contact sensors, allowing you to link video to unlock events for visibility and compliance. Some integrations even enable tailgating detection with real-time video alerts inside the Kisi dashboard. Contact our team for more details.

Yes. Kisi makes it easy to grant temporary access without requiring guests to download the Kisi app or your own branded app, or create an account. You can send an access link by email, SMS, or chat that unlocks the door at the right time.

If your franchise uses a Reader Pro, you can issue a guest card or fob for short-term use. With a Terminal Pro, visitors can scan a QR code at the entrance for quick, contactless entry. Access is always temporary and limited to specific doors, clubs, and times, so guests only use what they’ve paid for.

For true walk-ins, Intercom Pro lets visitors request entry with a video call, and staff can unlock remotely. This way, free trials, day passes, and unexpected drop-ins are all handled smoothly without extra front desk work.

Yes. Kisi gives franchise headquarters complete visibility and control across every club from one dashboard. You can assign trainers 24/7 access to all gyms, limit cleaners to their scheduled hours, or instantly revoke permissions when staff leave. Membership tiers are enforced automatically by integrating with your CRM, so premium members can train at any club while basic plans remain limited.

With access tied to bookings, memberships, or payments, you can confidently extend hours or run clubs 24/7 without front desk coverage. Every unlock is logged to a specific user, keeping spaces secure at all times. For extra protection during unstaffed hours, you can also integrate cameras, sensors, or Intercom Pro to monitor entries and support members remotely. To safeguard revenue and membership integrity, you can opt for Kisi’s tailgating detection that alerts you when someone attempts to enter without valid credentials.

All you need to start is the Kisi Controller Pro 2, which connects to your electronic locks, brings access into the cloud, and enables mobile-based entry. From there, you can add optional hardware depending on your franchise’s setup: Reader Pro for additional mobile access methods, Apple Wallet, fob, or key card unlocks at turnstiles and doors, Terminal Pro for additional QR-based entry, and Intercom Pro for video calling and remote unlocks.

For features like tailgating detection, compatible video hardware is required to support visual alerts and verification.

Installation is straightforward. Kisi works with most existing electronic locks, so you usually won’t need to replace what you already have. For franchises migrating from a legacy system, the Wiegand Board makes it possible to keep compatible readers and credentials while switching to cloud-based management. Setup can often be handled by your team using Kisi’s step-by-step guides, or by a certified installer if you prefer professional rollout.

Every KisiFit package comes with a 5-year hardware warranty, automatic software updates, and access to 24/7 resources through the Help Center. In addition to standard 24/5 support, franchises can choose enhanced support options with faster response times and enterprise-level onboarding to make multi-location rollouts easier. Whether you’re opening one club or scaling across dozens, you’ll have the right level of support to match your needs.

Kisi helps protect your franchise’s revenue and security in multiple ways. By integrating with your membership software, access is automatically tied to active memberships, payments, and bookings. If a member cancels or misses a payment, their access is removed immediately, no manual updates needed.

To prevent membership sharing, Kisi allows you to restrict each member to one verified mobile device, ensuring their login can’t simply be passed around. Every unlock is logged and tied to an individual user, giving you complete visibility into who enters and when.

For added protection, tailgating detection can be enabled through compatible cameras. This feature alerts you if someone tries to follow a paying member inside without valid credentials, helping you stop unpaid workouts in real time and maintain a secure environment across all clubs.

Kisi is built with enterprise-grade security and compliance at its core, ensuring your franchise is protected at every level. We are ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certified, and all our products comply with major standards including FCC, CE, TAA, ACMA, and NDAA. This means your data and access systems meet internationally recognized benchmarks for information security and operational reliability.

To further protect your business, every unlock is encrypted end-to-end, permissions are logged to individual users, and advanced features like device restrictions and tailgating detection are available for even tighter control. These measures make Kisi a secure and scalable solution, trusted by thousands of businesses worldwide.

Yes. Kisi offers options to tailor the experience for your brand. With our Mobile SDKs, you can embed unlock functionality directly into your franchise’s member app, creating a seamless, branded experience without requiring a separate app.

We also support custom credentials, like branded fobs, cards, or Apple Wallet passes, to keep your franchise identity consistent across all touchpoints. The management dashboard is configurable as well, letting you set role-based permissions, alerts, and reporting to match your operations.

For larger franchises with specific needs, Kisi can also develop custom features and integrations at scale. These enterprise-level options ensure the platform adapts to your workflows and growth, while maintaining Kisi’s security and reliability standards.
