Third Space, operator of premium health clubs in London, has been setting the standard for luxury fitness and wellness since its launch in 2001.

With iconic locations in Canary Wharf, City, Tower Bridge, Soho, Marylebone, Wimbledon, Moorgate, Wood Wharf, Mayfair, Islington and now the recently opened Battersea club. Third Space prides itself on delivering a unique, high-quality experience to members.

Maintaining its premium positioning demands continual innovation and improvement, particularly in the user experience and when it faced the challenge of upgrading its locking system it required a solution that was not only high-quality and EU-manufactured, but also offered robust after-sales service.

The new system also needed to seamlessly integrate with the access control system at Third Space while maintaining a sleek and elegant design and providing flexibility and convenience for members.

The Solution
In response to these challenges, Third Space partnered with Ojmar, an EU-based supplier known for its superior product quality and exceptional after-sales service. From the outset, Ojmar was fully committed to understanding and addressing Third Space’s specific needs.

The solution provided by Ojmar was the OCS Smart, a state-of-the-art wireless locking system featuring dual technology – giving both keypad and smartphone access.

This dual technology not only enhances user flexibility, it also ensured a smooth integration with Third Space’s access control system.

The sleek design of the OCS Smart complements the aesthetics of Third Space’s clubs, adding to the luxurious experience enjoyed by members.

The implementation of the OCS Smart system was seamless, thanks to Ojmar’s support and attention to detail. The wireless system offers scalability, allowing Third Space to incorporate additional advanced functionalities in the future. This forward-thinking approach ensures Third Space remains at the cutting edge of technology and innovation within the fitness industry.

Harry Kay, property and facilities director, expressed his satisfaction with the collaboration, saying: “Ojmar has been the right choice in solving operational issues with our locking solutions, providing us with the peace of mind we need in our clubs.”

Implementation and Results The partnership between Third Space and Ojmar highlights the importance of choosing the right locking solution to maintain a premium user experience. By upgrading to OCS Smart, Third Space not only resolved its immediate operational challenges, it also positioned itself for future innovation, ensuring it continues to lead as London’s premier health club brand.
