Join 150+ fitness businesses with seamless, owned systems that drive retention
The "Jobber Mismatch" Problem
Generic booking slots that clash with your dynamic WOD programming, like overlapping Olympic lifting sessions with high-intensity circuits
No real integration with member apps for tracking progress and retention, such as syncing PR logs from SugarWOD or Beyond the Whiteboard
Billing rigidities that don't handle flexible CrossFit membership tiers, like unlimited classes vs. 8-session packs with drop-in fees
Missed opportunities to automate coach-client communications for better engagement, such as post-WOD feedback or mobility drill reminders
Over-reliance on one tool leading to vendor lock-in and rising costs during peak seasons
Difficulty scaling for community events without custom event handling, like partner WODs or holiday challenge series without manual sign-ups
Your Custom-Built Alternative to Jobber
We've helped over 50 CrossFit gyms replace fragmented tools with unified AI systems that feel like an extension of their community
Why Choose Us
Let's be honest—Jobber's off-the-shelf setup works for basic service pros, but for a CrossFit gym, it's like wearing running shoes to a deadlift session. It just doesn't fit. At AIQ Labs, we build a <span class="gradient">tailored AI-powered workflow</span> from the ground up, integrating everything from class bookings to member retention tracking. You're probably thinking, 'How does that work for my exact needs?' We start by mapping your gym's unique rhythm—those early-morning hero WODs, drop-in surges, and personalized coaching notes—and craft a flexible system you own outright. No more monthly bills eating into your margins. Instead, unlimited tweaks to match your growth, all secured with deep API connections to your existing tools like Mindbody or your custom member portal.
What Makes Us Different:
Why This Perfect Fit Transforms Your Gym
Boost Member Retention with Personalized Experiences
Boost Member Retention with Personalized Experiences: Picture this: Your system automatically sends tailored workout recs based on a member's last PR, like suggesting scaled box jump variations after a personal best, increasing engagement by 25% within the first 3 months. No more generic emails—it's like having a virtual coach that knows every athlete's journey, turning one-time drop-ins into loyal CrossFitters who stick around for the long haul, with retention rates climbing to 85%.
Streamline Operations Without the Subscription Drain
Streamline Operations Without the Subscription Drain: Say goodbye to Jobber's escalating fees. Our custom build handles everything from equipment bookings—like reserving rowers for AMRAP sessions—to nutrition tracking in one owned platform, saving you $500+ monthly. Coaches spend less than 2 hours a week on admin—freeing them up for coaching cues during metcons—and more on scaling your community events, like that annual throwdown that packed your box last year with 150 athletes.
Scale Flexibly as Your Gym Grows
Scale Flexibly as Your Gym Grows: Unlike rigid tools, our solution adapts to your expansion—adding multi-location support or AI voice agents for instant inquiries about class availability during peak hours. We've seen gyms handle 40% more members without extra staff, ensuring smooth ops during peak times like the New Year's resolutions rush, where sign-ups spike by 60% in January, all while you retain full control and no vendor lock-in.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, Jobber was okay for basic scheduling, but it couldn't handle our variable class blocks or track member milestones like Fran benchmark times. Now, with their custom system, we've cut admin time by half and seen a 20% uptick in renewals over six months—members love the personalized check-ins after their first muscle-up, which has boosted our community vibe tremendously."
Sarah Jenkins
Owner, IronForge CrossFit in Austin, TX
"I was skeptical about ditching subscriptions, but this owned AI setup integrated our old CRM perfectly with our WOD programming. Last quarter, it automated our partner gym referrals for regional competitions, bringing in 15 new athletes without lifting a finger. It's like the system anticipates our needs during busy seasons, handling 50% more inquiries seamlessly."
Mike Rivera
Head Coach, Apex Strength Collective in Denver, CO
"Our gym struggled with equipment bookings clashing with WODs using Jobber, especially during peak evening classes. AIQ built us a flexible alternative that syncs everything, reducing conflicts by 80% and preventing double-bookings on assault bikes. Plus, the retention analytics helped us launch a 12-week challenge program that kept 30 members from lapsing over summer, increasing overall attendance by 15%."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this custom system differ from Jobber for my CrossFit gym?
Jobber's great for straightforward service bookings, but it falls short on the dynamic needs of CrossFit—like variable WOD durations or community-driven retention. We build a bespoke AI system that integrates your specific tools, automates personalized member journeys, and gives you full ownership. No more fighting generic templates; it's designed for your gym's flow, from scaling classes to tracking PRs, saving you hours weekly and boosting loyalty without ongoing fees. Think of it as custom programming versus off-the-rack gear—it fits perfectly and lasts.
What if I already use other software like Mindbody alongside Jobber?
No problem—we specialize in deep, two-way integrations that create a single source of truth. For instance, we'll pull member data from Mindbody into your custom dashboard for real-time insights, automate WOD sign-ups without double-entry, and sync payments seamlessly. Unlike Zapier's brittle connections, our builds are robust, handling high-volume traffic like your morning rush. We've done this for dozens of gyms, reducing integration headaches by 70% and ensuring data flows smoothly to support retention strategies, like auto-sending progress reports.
How much does a custom alternative to Jobber cost, and what's the timeline?
Costs start around $15,000 for a core workflow build, scaling based on your gym's complexity—like adding AI retention tools. It's a one-time investment versus Jobber's recurring $200+ monthly, often paying off in under a year through efficiency gains. Timelines? We kick off with a 2-week discovery, build in 6-8 weeks, and launch with training. Post-launch, we optimize for free in the first month. You're not locked in; we focus on your exact needs, ensuring it's flexible for growth without surprise add-ons.
Can this system help with member retention in a competitive CrossFit market?
Absolutely—retention is our sweet spot for fitness businesses. We embed AI that analyzes attendance patterns and engagement, flagging at-risk members for targeted nudges, like 'Join our next hero WOD to crush that plateau.' Gyms using our systems see 25-35% retention lifts by personalizing experiences, far beyond Jobber's basic reminders. It's like having a data-driven community manager: automates welcome series for newbies, tracks goal progress, and even suggests buddy pairings. Relatable? One client revived their off-season by automating challenge invites, keeping boxes full year-round.
What happens if my gym's needs change after the build?
Flexibility is baked in—unlike Jobber's rigid updates, our owned system lets you tweak anytime without vendor approval. Need to add multi-site support or voice booking? We handle expansions efficiently, often in days, not months. With full code access, you avoid lock-in and can even bring it in-house later. We've supported gyms through pivots like adding online coaching during lockdowns, ensuring the system evolves with your community. Here's the thing: it's built for you, so changes feel natural, keeping operations smooth as you scale.
Is the system secure for handling sensitive member health data?
Security is non-negotiable, especially in fitness where you're dealing with health metrics and payments. We use enterprise-grade encryption, comply with GDPR and HIPAA standards, and build role-based access so coaches see only what's needed. Regular audits and AI-monitored anomaly detection prevent breaches. Compared to off-the-shelf tools, our custom approach minimizes third-party risks—no more worrying about Jobber's shared infrastructure. One gym owner told us it gave them peace of mind during a data scare, protecting their rep and member trust in a tight-knit CrossFit world.
