INDUSTRIES
AI for Fitness & Gyms
Your members sign up motivated and cancel three months later. Your front desk is too busy checking people in to follow up on leads. AI handles the acquisition, engagement, and retention so your team can focus on the floor.
Half of new members quit within 6 months. AI catches the warning signs early and keeps them showing up — automatically.

THE PROBLEM
You are great at getting members in the door. Keeping them is another story.
The fitness industry runs on recurring revenue, but the math works against you. Half of new members stop coming within six months. By month twelve, you have lost two-thirds of the people who signed up excited and motivated.
Most gyms only notice the problem when the cancellation request hits. By then it is too late — the member checked out weeks ago. Meanwhile, your front desk is buried in check-ins, class questions, and billing calls, so IHRSA data shows 67% of new leads never even get a follow-up call.
Then there are the empty class spots. 28% of booked slots go unfilled because of late cancellations with no waitlist backfill. That is revenue sitting on the table — every single day.

WHAT WE AUTOMATE
AI built for how gyms and studios actually run
Integrates with Mindbody, ClubReady, ABC Fitness, Glofox, and other gym management platforms. No rip-and-replace.
Member Acquisition & Onboarding
Speed-to-Lead Response
Every web form, social ad, and walk-in inquiry gets a personalized response within 60 seconds — pricing answers, free trial offers, and tour bookings on autopilot.
Trial-to-Member Conversion
AI tracks trial visitors through their first 14 days with workout suggestions, class recommendations, and a timed membership offer based on which amenities they actually used.
Referral Campaigns
Automated referral prompts sent after a member hits attendance milestones — when they are most excited about results and most likely to bring a friend.
Retention & Engagement
Churn Risk Detection
AI monitors check-in frequency, class booking patterns, and app usage to flag at-risk members 2-3 weeks before they cancel — while you still have time to act.
Win-Back Sequences
Members who stop showing up get a personalized re-engagement campaign — not a mass email. AI picks the right message based on their history: free PT session, class invite, or a workout buddy match.
Milestone Celebrations
Automated messages for 50th visit, 6-month anniversary, personal records — small touches that make members feel seen and keep them coming back.
Class Scheduling & Capacity
Smart Waitlist Management
When someone cancels a full class, AI fills the spot from the waitlist within seconds — sending a confirmation text before the member even thinks to check.
No-Show Prediction
AI learns which members tend to no-show on certain days or times and overbooks by the right amount — keeping classes full without overcrowding.
Schedule Optimization
Analyzes attendance data across time slots, instructors, and class types to recommend schedule changes that actually fill more spots.
Billing & Revenue
Failed Payment Recovery
Smart retry sequences at optimal times — Tuesday mornings convert 40% better than Friday evenings. Pre-charge reminders let members update expired cards before the decline even happens.
Personal Training Upsells
AI identifies members most likely to buy PT packages based on check-in patterns, class preferences, and engagement scores — then sends targeted offers at the right moment.
Membership Upgrade Prompts
When a basic member consistently uses premium amenities during free trials or guest passes, AI suggests the upgrade with a specific dollar-per-visit breakdown.
