What are considerations to having a fitness center open 24 hours unstaffed?
Hi Michele,
have you checked with the system that 24/7 clubs are using? Here is an interesting link: http://www.fitness360online.com/fitness-marketing-products/access-and-su….
Hope things will work out for you.

The website Karin mentions is interesting.
My opinion is if you are going to have to monitor your club with cameras, why not staff it?
I would do a survey to figure out if this would be something your community would respond to.
Would al retired person work out at 2 am? Do you offer your center to neighboring communities?
Hello Michelle,
I know Anytime Fitness is 24/7/365. If you have one in your area, drop by and see how they have approached it.

As far as your trainers credentials, at our facility we have a file with a copy of our certifications and cpr with expiration dates.
I Hope This Helps!

Hello Michele Dorszynski,
Snap Fitness is in this area and advertises that they are open 24 hours. The way they do this is with a trainer available during the peak daytime hours. The doors are locked when unoccupied by a trainer; so, the members have their own “key” to gain entry at other times of the day/night.
This is what I have seen and it seems to work.
Take care and good luck with your place.
