Changing rooms, toilets, and private areas in sports clubs and gyms are increasingly at risk from hidden cameras and covert listening devices. At QCC, we help protect your members’ privacy, your staff’s wellbeing, and your reputation through discreet, high-level TSCM (Technical Surveillance Counter Measures) inspections and bug sweeping services.
Whether you manage a local gym, a national training facility or a professional sports club, our team uses advanced detection equipment to identify and eliminate hidden surveillance threats – keeping your environment safe, compliant, and trusted by all who use it.
TSCM for sports clubs & gyms:
Why sports clubs & gyms need TSCM services
Hidden surveillance devices are a growing concern for fitness and sports environments. With changing rooms, toilets and private spaces offering opportunities for illegal surveillance, even a single incident can cause serious harm to your members, your reputation, and your compliance obligations.
Common risk areas include:
- Male and female changing rooms
- Shower and toilet facilities
- Massage, therapy, or treatment rooms
- Locker areas and staff offices
Our TSCM inspections are designed to detect and remove these threats quickly, discreetly, and with minimal disruption – helping you take control before any breach occurs.
Specialist bug sweeping for sports facilities
QCC conducts thorough TSCM inspections across all types of sports facilities, from grassroots clubs to national centres of excellence. We focus on high-risk zones including:
- Gym and club changing rooms
- Sauna and spa areas
- Toilets and shower rooms
- Offices and private staff areas
Using specialist TSCM tools, we detect both active and dormant threats such as hidden cameras, listening devices, mobile recorders, and Bluetooth or Wi-Fi bugs. All inspections are carried out discreetly to safeguard your premises and protect the privacy of your members and staff.
Safeguarding, reputation & regulatory protection
Whether you’re a private gym or a publicly funded sports facility, the privacy of your members is a core responsibility. Unauthorised surveillance can breach GDPR, safeguarding duties, and the trust of your clients and staff. QCC’s services help support:
1. Compliance with safeguarding frameworks (e.g. NSPCC, Sport England guidance)
2. GDPR and data protection obligations
3. Club safeguarding policies and procedures
We provide clear reports and practical advice, supporting your security or leadership team in taking appropriate action.
