Case Study
Delivering for The
Locker Gym
When you operate a premium gym designed for members serious about their training, your security becomes more than simply protection; your reputation is at stake.
That was the challenge facing The Locker, an 18,000 sq ft high-performance training facility built for powerlifting, bodybuilding and functional fitness. With members offered round-the-clock access, the gym needed to operate unstaffed at various times with a solution that would allow seamless entry while ensuring only authorised users could access the space.
That’s where RACAM stepped in.
The Challenge:
Balancing Open Access with Total Control
The Locker is a premium, multi-discipline training environment with specialist equipment, recovery facilities and a growing, dedicated member community. Near round-the-clock opening hours are in place, a level of access that comes with risk
- 01 Uncontrolled entry points
- 02 Potential misuse by non-members
- 03 Limited visibility outside staffed hours
- 04 Difficulty managing access at scale
The Solution:
A Fully Integrated Security System
RACAM deployed their commercial security systems expertise to design and install a multi-layered, joined-up system combining:
- A comprehensive 22-camera commercial CCTV system
- Turnstile entry points for controlled access
- Full integration with Gymflow
A single, intelligent security ecosystem was deployed, Racam taking an approach that is becoming more common in their work, which is seeing demand for modern commercial environments where systems must work together, not in isolation.
In my initial conversations with Davie (the gym owner at The Locker), it quickly became clear that their need was beyond incident prevention. It was all about supporting them to operate the gym in an accessible and secure way for their members.”
Calum Maguire,
Director, RACAM
Specific to The Locker, the integration with Gymflow was critical.
Now, when a member signs up, renews, or cancels, their ability to get into the gym updates automatically and in real-time, delivering a seamless and secure member experience.
Alongside this, the CCTV system provides full-site coverage, ensuring every area of the gym is monitored and recorded, with remote access available on-demand.
We needed a system that would let our members train confidently and securely at all times, but without compromising on security. RACAM understood and delivered exactly that.”
The integration with Gymflow has been a game changer. Everything just works. Our members get access, non-members don’t, and we can monitor the whole gym remotely.”

The Outcome:
Security, Control and Peace of Mind
The impact of the system was immediate.
For members:
- Safe, secure access to the gym, Mon-Fri, 5am-11pm
- Confidence training at any time of day or night
- A ‘feel’ of being in a premium, well-managed environment
“You can train here and feel completely safe. It’s clear The Locker takes security as seriously as it does its equipment and facilities, which makes a big difference.”
Gym Member
For gym owner, Davie, this delivered:
- Full control over who enters their building
- Real-time visibility across their entire facility
- Ability to monitor the gym remotely from anywhere
- Reduced risk of unauthorised access or equipment misuse
- Crucially, complete peace of mind
Beyond security, the system has become part of The Locker’s brand proposition, offering a gym that is high-performance, professional, secure and exclusive.
What RACAM Delivered
RACAM’s approach reflects what modern businesses increasingly demand. Those are integrated, scalable security systems designed around how a business actually operates.
As a commercial security specialist working across Central Scotland, RACAM helps businesses protect their premises through:
“What made this project particularly rewarding was delivering a solution that delivers for both security and the customer experience. Members can access the facility with confidence, while Davie has complete visibility and control over the premises, wherever they are.”
Calum Maguire, Director, RACAM
“We wanted The Locker to be known as a premium training facility, and that extends beyond the equipment and environment. Having a professional security and access control system in place reinforces that standard and gives our members confidence that they’re training in a safe, exclusive space.”

Looking Ahead:
Security as a Business Enabler
Modern commercial security needs to be proactive, integrated, and at the heart of how businesses operate. That’s what The Locker demanded, now benefiting from a security setup that delivers:
- A safer environment
- A stronger brand
- A better member experience
For RACAM, it’s another example of how the right security system goes beyond protection, raising the quality and perception of the business as a whole.
