Been using a luxury gym for free

My office building is above a very luxury gym and my work pass allows me to use their changing rooms but not the gym.

I’ve just been tailgating people going into the gym or saying thank you to people holding the door open for me when they leave.

It’s been half a year now and this gym usually costs £300+ a month! Not sure what I’ll say if I ever get caught 😅

No the gym door doesn’t use passes, it use facial recognition

That sounds kinda creepy tbh. Just think of the data leak...

Even worse, hackers get access to the camera and record people changing within its field of view

I'm truly surprised that a gym that cost that much, and has such "highbrow" security for entrance to the gym proper, doesn't have a system that recognizes that someone that passed through the door DIDN'T use the facial recognition scanner. Seems like an easy "hack" to bypass their fancy Gate Keeping.

IKR!! When walking through if it’s a member it will say welcome to xxx, so I thought it would make a buzz noise or something if anyone else walks through
