Located in Orewa, BlueFit Gym was designed to deliver a highly connected fitness experience through integrated automation, personalised member technology, and seamless operational control.
Safe N Sound was engaged to deliver a fully integrated smart gym solution built around the Control4 platform. The goal was to combine access control, member recognition, digital systems, audio, lighting, and network infrastructure into one cohesive environment that supports both the member journey and the day-to-day running of the facility.

Tailored Technology for a Smart Gym Environment
BlueFit required technology that could do more than support the gym visually. It needed to connect multiple systems across the facility and create a seamless member experience from entry through to workout, recovery, and departure.
Every element was designed to align with the operational needs of the gym and the ambition of creating a highly integrated smart fitness environment.
Key considerations included:
- Personalised member experiences through recognition technology
- Reliable access control and security across the facility
- Integration between fitness equipment, displays, lockers, and body scanning
- Smart lighting and audio that enhance atmosphere automatically
- Strong network performance for connected systems and member use
The result is a space where technology is not treated as a separate layer, but as part of how the gym operates and how members experience it.
Advanced Technology Integration
Multiple connected systems work together to support both member engagement and operational efficiency.
Smart Gym Control System
At the centre of the project is a Control4-based smart gym system that connects the major technologies across the facility into one streamlined platform.
This allows key systems to work together more intelligently, improving usability for staff and creating a more seamless experience for members.
Security & Access Control
A world-class security and access control solution was integrated to support both protection and convenience.
This included:
- Cameras and sensors across key areas
- Access control systems for secure entry
- Integrated controls that support the wider smart gym environment
This creates a secure facility while maintaining a smooth experience for authorised users.
Member Recognition System
BlueFit’s member recognition system was designed to create a more personalised journey throughout the gym.
Using smart wristbands and recognition points, the system supports customised interactions and a more intuitive member experience within the facility.
Smart Locker & 3D Body Scan Integration
The project also included integration with:
- Smart locker systems
- 3D body scan room technology
These systems add convenience, functionality, and a more advanced wellness offering, while remaining connected to the broader gym ecosystem.
