Case Study: Equinox Fitness Training Institute achieves scalable, easy-to-manage surveillance and faster incident response with Verkada

How a Luxury Fitness Club Implemented a Smart Security Solution to Support Business Operations

Equinox Fitness Training Institute, a luxury fitness operator with numerous clubs and thousands of employees, faced a patchwork of aging, on‑premises video systems that were costly to maintain, provided limited retention, and made remote access to footage nearly impossible. Seeking to simplify surveillance, scale coverage as the business grew, and support broader operational needs, Equinox turned to Verkada and its cloud‑hybrid surveillance solution.

Verkada deployed plug‑and‑play, hybrid cloud cameras and easy‑to‑use management software (installation averaged about 10 minutes per camera), giving club managers remote access, object‑based search, and live link sharing without IT support. The Verkada system streamlined incident response, cut down wait times and onsite trips to retrieve clips, improved support for loss‑prevention initiatives, and earned positive feedback from law enforcement — enabling Equinox to scale secure operations across its clubs more efficiently.
