Facial Recognition Access Control & Tripod Turnstile Installation - Fully Pumped Gym, Norwich
Who Are Fully Pumped Gym?
We worked with Fully Pumped Gym in Norwich to deliver a modern tripod turnstile access control system and upgraded entrance security. Fully Pumped Gym is a popular independent gym, known for its welcoming atmosphere, professional staff, and commitment to providing a seamless member experience. With increasing membership, the gym required a reliable system that combined gym security systems with automated entry for convenience and safety.
What Challenge Did Fully Pumped Gym Face?
Prior to our involvement, the gym was operating with outdated tripod turnstiles that lacked modern functionality. This led to:
- Slower member entry due to manual checks
- Limited integration with the gym layout and existing space
- A security risk, as access was not strictly controlled
The gym wanted a tripod turnstile gate solution that improved flow, integrated with facial recognition, and provided a modern, secure access point.
What Were UK Turnstiles’ Goals for This Project?
Our objective was to provide a fully automated tripod turnstile solution that enhanced security, improved member flow, and integrated with the gym’s existing access control facial recognition system. We also aimed to remove the outdated equipment safely, protect the flooring with a bespoke floorplate, and deliver a seamless, touch-free entry experience. The upgraded system needed to be reliable, user-friendly, and fully compatible with the gym security system.

- Safe removal and disposal of the old tripod turnstiles
- Installation of UKT-10 fully automatic tripod turnstiles
