Shallow integrations with fitness apps like Mindbody or Glofox, causing data silos between class bookings and member progress tracking

Why Choose Us

Let's be honest—HubSpot is a powerhouse for big corporations, but for your gym, it's like wearing someone else's workout gear: it doesn't fit right and slows you down. At AIQ Labs, we craft a custom AI-powered system from the ground up, tailored to your exact needs. Think seamless integrations with your booking software, AI-driven personalization for member retention, and dashboards that track everything from class fill rates to wellness goal progress. No more one-size-fits-all limitations. This is flexible, built for you, ensuring your workflow flows as smoothly as a perfect yoga class.

What Makes Us Different:

We map your daily challenges—like manual attendance tracking—and automate them with AI

Build deep, two-way connections to tools you already use, without the fragility of Zapier

Deliver a unified platform you own outright, scaling as your membership grows

What Clients Say

"Before AIQ Labs, HubSpot was eating up our budget but couldn't handle our bootcamp scheduling overlaps with spin classes. Now our custom system auto-sends class reminders based on member preferences and past no-shows, and we've seen a 22% uptick in repeat visits in just three months. It's like having an extra coach on staff for our 200+ members."

Sarah Jenkins

Owner, Peak Fitness Studio (Specializing in Group Bootcamps and Cycling)

"We were frustrated with generic automations breaking during peak season like our January wellness challenges. The team built us a tailored AI setup that integrates our Mindbody app with personalized retention alerts for meditation and strength sessions—dropped our no-shows from 15% to under 5%, and no more juggling multiple logins across devices."

Mike Rodriguez

General Manager, Wellness Hub Gym (Offering Yoga, Meditation, and Personal Training)

"Switching to their custom solution was a game-changer for our hybrid model. It tracks member progress across yoga flows and weightlifting circuits, suggesting upsells like premium nutrition plans that actually convert at 25% rate. Saved us $600 a month and boosted our renewal rate by 18% last quarter—finally, tech that gets our holistic vibe."

Common Questions

How does this custom system differ from HubSpot for my gym?

HubSpot excels at broad marketing but lacks the depth for fitness-specific needs like class capacity alerts or member progress tracking. We build a tailored AI alternative that integrates directly with your tools, focusing on retention through personalized nudges—think auto-emails for lapsed members based on their last HIIT class. No bloated features; just what boosts your member experience. One gym owner cut their churn by 25% in six months after we replaced their HubSpot setup with our owned system, saving thousands in fees while gaining flexibility to add wellness coaching automations anytime.

What if I already use other software like Zapier or Make.com?

Those tools are great for quick fixes but often create brittle chains that break under gym pressures, like peak-hour bookings. Our custom build replaces them with robust, owned integrations—deep API connections that handle two-way data flow without downtime. For instance, we can link your CRM to inventory for equipment tracking during busy seasons. You're probably thinking it'll be disruptive, but we phase it in smoothly, starting with high-impact areas like automated attendance reminders, helping one studio reduce manual entries by 40 hours weekly.

How much does owning a custom system cost compared to subscriptions?

Upfront, it's an investment—typically $15,000 to $50,000 depending on scope—but you own it outright, eliminating HubSpot's $800+ monthly drain. Over three years, that's pure savings plus tailored efficiency. Here's the thing: for a mid-sized gym, this pays for itself in 12-18 months through higher retention and less admin time. We include ongoing tweaks without extra fees, unlike vendor-locked plans. A client with 200 members saw ROI in nine months by automating renewals and personalized check-ins.

Can this system handle personalization for different fitness programs?

Absolutely. We design AI that learns from your data—like yoga vs. weights preferences—to deliver spot-on recommendations, much like a personal trainer but at scale. Unlike off-the-shelf tools, it's flexible for your multi-service setup, adding features for nutrition tracking or virtual sessions without hassle. One studio used it to segment communications, increasing class sign-ups by 32% because members got relevant invites. We start by auditing your programs to ensure the system evolves with your offerings.

How long does it take to get my custom AI system up and running?

From consultation to launch, it's 8-12 weeks for most gyms, depending on complexity. We prioritize quick wins, like automating member onboarding in the first month, so you see benefits early. No endless waits like with rigid platforms. Our process involves weekly check-ins to align with your schedule—avoiding disruptions during busy periods. A boutique fitness center went live in seven weeks and immediately cut front-desk queries by half with the AI chatbot.

Is the system secure for handling member health and payment data?

Security is non-negotiable in fitness, where privacy matters for wellness goals and payments. We build with enterprise-grade encryption, compliant with GDPR and HIPAA where needed, ensuring data stays yours and protected. Unlike shared platforms with breach risks, your owned system means full control—no third-party vulnerabilities. We've audited similar setups for studios, implementing role-based access so coaches see only relevant info. One partner reported zero incidents post-launch, with peace of mind that boosted their team's confidence.
