LITTLE ROCK, AR<\/strong> – Adding more safeguards for fitness club operators and members, ABC Financial, a leading provider of technology and related services for the fitness industry, announced it has entered into an exclusive partnership with Openpath, a major mobile access control provider. Together, the two industry pacesetters will launch \u201cABC Door Access by Openpath,\u201d a mobile-friendly, hands-free, door-access solution rooted in cloud-based technology.<\/p>\n \u201cABC Door Access by Openpath\u201d uses a patented triple-unlock technology from the signals in smart phones. That makes it possible for members and staff to enter fitness clubs without making physical contact with a card reader, allowing access with just the wave of a hand.<\/p>\n Set up through Openpath\u2019s mobile application or through the club\u2019s integrated mobile applications, members can gain entry without needing to carry a key or fob or even unlocking their phone. Member access is controlled and continuously updated through comprehensive integration with ABC\u2019s Club Management Solution.<\/p>\n \u201cAs clubs reopen their doors, members and staff can enter safely by leveraging ABC Door Access by Openpath,\u201d said Bill Davis, CEO of ABC Financial. \u201cIts contactless, wave-to-unlock capabilities help minimize vectors for the spread of the coronavirus.\u201d<\/p>\n Offering administrative control through a cloud-based platform, and 24 hour-a-day tech support directly through ABC Financial, the advanced software gives operators the flexibility to control and grant access from anywhere.<\/p>\n \u201cOur old solution was unreliable and service was spotty. We chose \u2018ABC Door Access by Openpath\u2019 because of the great support,\u201d said Kathy Mecklenburg, director of operations and finance at Fitness Premier, an Illinois-based health club network. \u201cFeedback from staff and members has been great. Members and staff love the new system. Having an online portal to manage access ourselves is a game-changer.\u201d<\/p>\n As gyms work to maintain social distancing guidelines and ensure safety, \u201cABC Door Access by Openpath\u201d makes it possible for a single employee to oversee entry at multiple points. Whether situated at the front desk, on the facility floor or even at home, authorized employees can remotely grant or deny access to anyone attempting to enter the facility. This makes it easier for health clubs to accommodate visitors and vendors while keeping staff focused on members.<\/p>\n \u201cOur partnership with ABC Financial, who is the premier provider of health club and gym management software, delivers Openpath\u2019s industry-leading touchless access technology to their members, enabling them to safely reopen their doors in the COVID-19 era,\u201d said Phil Goldsmith, chief revenue officer and co-founder of Openpath. \u201cOur cloud-based software offers gym management staff an easy way to administer facility access from anywhere, and our touchless Wave to Unlock technology provides safety, convenience and peace of mind for their members.\u201d<\/p>\n Openpath Chief Marketing Officer Kieran Hannon added, \u201cThe seamless credentialing offers real-time ease of use for gym management staff, and our unique touchless \u2018Wave to Unlock\u2019 provides safety, convenience and peace of mind for their members.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" LITTLE ROCK, AR<\/strong> – Adding more safeguards for fitness club operators and members, ABC Financial, a leading provider of technology and related services for the fitness industry, announced it has entered into an exclusive partnership with Openpath, a major mobile access control provider.
