Gym Membership Monitoring System Using Rfid

...

The Gym Membership Monitoring System is a hassle free that is used by the gym personnel and clients. The system is developing by using RFID scanner and proximity card to verify the membership of the client and provide a reliable, secure and efficient method of recording member attendance of our membership. It also collects responses and saves them in monitoring database. It can be only use by using proximity card that contain load balance. It also has Administrator page to access and to manage the system appropriately so the clients who have issue or change about their information can be manage by the admin. Access to computers has increased significantly over recent decades and is improving every year and with the modern technology, it is easy to create systems that can use and benefit by the clients.[pic 1]

- Project Context

The concept was to develop a membership monitoring system, a system that is user-friendly to the users and also to the administrator. In many gym organizations, monitoring of the clients is a very important factor specially in identifying every individual coming in the gym. Security is at risk because of many cases outsiders who are not member bypasses by borrowing the card of the other client. To be secured our system provide RFID scanner and proximity card for the clients to protect their membership and the outsiders who were not clients in the gym can’t manage to go in. This will help the owner and the user to make their membership easier. The owner can easily monitor the users who are entering the gym and for the users they can monitor their remaining days and inform when the user account is insufficient balance and need to rebalance the membership account.

This system also monitors the age of the users, it will just only allow the user’s qualified age to go into the gym and it also monitors the elders who go into the gym and they will be assist by the instructors of the gym management. The RFID scanner will easily let the user member to enter the gym using their proximity card. The system also greets user’s or members and their birthday comes and the system have discount freebee’s and promos for members who are loyal and long time and sustain their membership. It also provides status of the user and their program if they will lose weight or gain weight.

- Purpose and Description

The purpose of this study is to create a system for the gym to monitor the members time in, remaining days, account balance, login history of the client and inform the client when their membership account balance is insufficient. The system also provides Trainor’s and doctors to the user’s that have medical history and to the users who are over qualified of their age using gym equipment’s for their safety in case of emergency. The user of client will have proximity card to get in or enter easily to the gym. The proximity card has the information of each user or client to have an access and the system has admin account to manage the information of the user who are member of the gym. The client just has to bring their loaded proximity card and tap it to the RFID scanner and the membership balance of the client is automatically deducted to 1 session day. If you tap it twice It will inform the member already logged in it will only deduct 1 day.

First the client has to register for membership, after that the client will obtain proximity card that contains of he’s/her information and membership balance. The client can use the proximity card once per a day to the gym, the client doesn’t need to tap it after he’s/her session because it is automatically reduced 1 day to the membership. If the client forgot the proximity card, he or she can ask and just go to the administrator of the gym and the admin will manually search the name of the client and manage to login the account of the client. If the client requests to update or change their info to the system, the admin will manage it for them.

- Value to the Customer

- Gym Membership Monitoring System using RFID is a system that enables the client to save more time, monitor their membership balance and inform when their membership will end. This study is conducted to make the client membership secured and monitored their time in by using RFID scanner and proximity card. This system will make easy for them to go to the gym without manually log in so they can save more time and can also see their login history.

- Relevant Market

- The gym owners will have benefit to this system because the owner can save more time and doo less work. The related to the system the developed is Attendance Monitoring System. It maintains a daily record of a person’s arrival and departure time from work or school and it serves as a time log that is set up as a computerized database. Using RFID and Proximity card the user can access to the system. It is similar to the system that researchers developed but the difference is our system have RFID hardware that used to monitor the membership of the clients.

- Possible Return of Investments (ROI)

The researchers foresee that the system can return the investment in 1 year. Because the developers will make exist or to cause the system to the industry and this is also an opportunity for the exposure of the system to the clients who are interested to the monitoring system using RFID hardware.
