Turn More Trials Into Members — and Keep Them
Gyms win on trial conversion and retention, both of which depend on follow-up. The AI handles the enquiries, the trial follow-ups and the reminders that keep members active.

How gyms grow
Trials plus retention
The gym that follows up after the trial and stays in touch afterwards keeps its members.
Membership questions
Pricing and plan questions that stall without quick answers.
Retention
Members who drift quietly unless something re-engages them.

Gym leaks
Where gyms lose members and revenue
Front desks get busy, and the follow-up is what gets dropped.
Trial leak
Trial sign-ups with no structured follow-up afterwards, so they never convert.
Enquiry leak
Membership and pricing questions answered late at peak hours.
Retention leak
Members who stop attending never re-engaged before they cancel.
Renewal leak
Renewals that arrive without a reminder, so contracts lapse.

- Training, programming and any fitness advice.
- Any medical question — routed to a qualified professional.
- Membership contracts, pricing and discounts.
- Final approval of every message.
- Any member who asks for a person.
Membership logistics, not fitness advice
The agent handles enquiries, bookings and reminders and never gives training or medical advice. Anything clinical or custom is escalated.
No fabricated pricing or promises. Your team owns the membership.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Can it convert trial sign-ups into members?
Yes. After a trial, the agent runs a structured follow-up with membership options and a clear next step — the sequence most gyms never have time to run.
How does it help with retention?
It re-engages members who stop attending, prompts renewals before expiry and keeps communication going between visits.
Will it answer membership and pricing questions?
It shares only the plans and pricing you approve, and routes anything custom — like corporate or family rates — to a person.
Does it work with our gym software?
We build around common tools — Mindbody, Glofox, ABC Fitness, TeamUp and general CRMs — and are honest where a native connection is unavailable.
Can it manage class and PT bookings too?
Yes. Classes, PT sessions and waitlists are handled alongside membership enquiries.
Is it good for a single-location gym?
Yes. It keeps the front desk free and makes sure no enquiry sits unanswered at peak hours.
