Short Summary
Kinect stops door credential sharing with a point-in-time Wi-Fi check and device binding, so a fob or barcode handed off outside the gym simply won't open the door.
Kinect stops credential sharing by requiring a member's phone to be actively connected to the gym's verified Wi-Fi network at the exact moment they tap unlock. If the phone is on cellular data, a car hotspot, or a VPN, the door simply will not open. Combined with device binding, this makes the access credential worthless to anyone standing outside the building.
