Why Choose Us
Let's be honest, you're probably thinking HubSpot's CRM is a safe bet for managing member emails and leads, but here's the thing: it treats your CrossFit box like any generic business, ignoring the high-energy, community-driven pulse of your gym. We build a custom AI alternative from the ground up, integrating your member database, WOD logs, and payment processors into one flexible system you own outright. No monthly fees draining your budget. Just a perfect fit for tracking athlete progress, automating retention nudges, and scaling your box as you grow. Think of it like crafting a bespoke barbell setup – strong, adaptable, and built for your exact lifts.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock the Gains Your Gym Deserves
Boost Member Retention with Personalized Insights
Boost Member Retention with Personalized Insights: Our custom system analyzes WOD data, attendance patterns, and recovery metrics to send tailored encouragement, like 'Hey, crush that next PR – your progress shows you're 20% stronger this month, and here's a mobility drill to stay injury-free.' Gyms see retention jump by 25-35% within 3-6 months, turning one-time drop-ins into loyal athletes without the guesswork of off-the-shelf templates.
Streamline Operations Without the Subscription Bleed
Streamline Operations Without the Subscription Bleed: Ditch juggling HubSpot with separate apps for Mindbody scheduling and Stripe payments. We unify everything into one dashboard, saving you 15-20 hours weekly on admin tasks like post-class rosters. One CrossFit owner cut their tool costs from $500/month to zero ongoing fees in the first quarter, redirecting savings to coach bonuses and community events like holiday throwdown challenges.
Scale Your Box with Unlimited Flexibility
Scale Your Box with Unlimited Flexibility: As your gym grows from 100 to 500 members, our owned system adapts without limits or lock-in, handling everything from AMRAP WOD sign-ups to injury tracking and nutrition referrals via integrated apps like MyFitnessPal. Automate it all effortlessly – it's like having a custom programming coach for your operations, flexible enough for seasonal challenges like summer bootcamps or expansions, ensuring you never hit a plateau in member engagement.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we were piecing together HubSpot and three other apps just to track member progress after our 6AM hero WODs. Now, our custom system auto-generates personalized recovery tips based on real benchmark data, like suggesting foam rolling after high-rep cleans, and we've held onto 40 more athletes this quarter than last year – our no-show rate dropped 18%. It's a game-changer for keeping our community tight and motivated."
Sarah Jenkins
Owner, IronForge CrossFit in Austin, TX
"I was skeptical about ditching subscriptions, but after implementing their AI workflow six months ago, manual check-ins at the front desk dropped from 10 hours a week to under 2. Our retention emails now hit at the perfect time, like right after a tough Murph WOD with personalized tips on scaling next time, and we've seen a 28% uptick in annual renewals without extra marketing spend – that's 15 more long-term members."
Mike Rivera
Head Coach, Apex Strength Gym in Denver, CO
"HubSpot felt clunky for our small box – too corporate for the grit of CrossFit programming. AIQ built us a system that integrates our Square payment processor and sends auto-reminders for open gym slots, plus tracks nutrition goals tied to WOD performance. In the first month, we reduced no-shows by 15% for our Friday night team workouts and finally own our data, no more renting it back every month – it's freed us to focus on athlete development."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this custom system differ from HubSpot for my CrossFit gym?
HubSpot is great for broad marketing, but it's not tuned for the intensity of CrossFit operations – think generic forms that don't capture PR goals or attendance heatmaps. We build a tailored AI system that integrates your specific tools, like auto-syncing WOD results to member profiles for personalized follow-ups. No more forcing your gym's flow into their rigid templates. You'll own it all, saving on subscriptions while handling everything from retention nudges to class capacity alerts. We've seen gyms reduce tool-switching by 70%, freeing coaches to focus on programming, not pixels.
What if my gym is small – is custom building worth it over off-the-shelf options?
Absolutely, especially for a CrossFit box where every member's journey is unique. Off-the-shelf like Zapier might patch things temporarily, but it breaks under the load of daily sign-ups and progress tracking. Our custom solution starts lean for your 50-100 members, automating basics like reminder texts for 5PM classes, then scales as you add affiliates. One gym we worked with went from manual Google Sheets to a unified system in weeks, cutting admin by 15 hours and boosting retention without the $200/month fees. It's an investment that pays off fast, like adding plates to your barbell for long-term strength.
Can you integrate with my existing gym software like Mindbody?
Yes, we specialize in deep, two-way integrations that make your tools talk seamlessly. For instance, we'll connect Mindbody's scheduling to our AI for automatic attendance-based recommendations, like suggesting mobility sessions after heavy lifts. Unlike superficial HubSpot links that glitch during peak hours, our custom APIs ensure data flows reliably – no more double-entry for payments or check-ins. We've done this for dozens of fitness studios, reducing errors by 90% and letting you own the whole setup without dependency on third-party uptime.
How long does it take to build and launch this custom alternative?
Typically 4-8 weeks, depending on your gym's complexity – shorter for core features like member tracking, longer if adding AI voice for bookings. We start with a quick audit of your current pains, like scattered retention data, then prototype key automations. Beta testing happens in your actual environment, say during a busy challenge season, with tweaks based on real feedback. Post-launch, we provide hands-on support to optimize, ensuring it's humming by month two. It's faster than wrestling with HubSpot's setup wizards, and you end up with a system that fits like custom Oly shoes.
What happens if I need changes after the build – am I locked in?
Not at all – ownership means flexibility. We hand over full source code and documentation, so your team or any dev can tweak it, like adding a new feature for virtual WODs. No vendor approval needed, unlike HubSpot's gated updates. If you want us involved, our maintenance is optional and affordable, focused on AI enhancements like better churn prediction from session data. Gyms love this freedom; one client modified their system mid-year to track hybrid in-person/online members without extra costs or delays.
Is this secure for handling sensitive member health data?
Security is non-negotiable in fitness, where you're dealing with injury histories and progress metrics. We build with enterprise-grade encryption, compliant with standards like GDPR and wellness best practices, ensuring member data stays protected during automations like personalized recovery plans. Unlike shared HubSpot instances vulnerable to broad breaches, your owned system is isolated and auditable. We've stress-tested these for high-traffic gyms, preventing leaks even during data-heavy events like annual challenges, so you can focus on building community, not worrying about compliance.
