Why Choose Us
You're probably thinking, 'Another chatbot? We've tried those generic ones—they don't get CrossFit lingo.' Here's the thing: we don't do off-the-shelf. At AIQ Labs, we craft your chatbot from the ground up, trained on your gym's specific WODs, member stories, and community vibe. It lives on your website, app, or even social channels, ready 24/7 to chat like a knowledgeable coach. Let's be honest, in the world of PRs and AMRAPs, timing is everything—our bot ensures no inquiry slips through the cracks, whether it's 3 AM motivation or scaling advice. We integrate it deeply with your scheduling tools, so it books classes or checks availability on the spot. Warm, professional, and always on—like that reliable training partner who never flakes.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Round-the-Clock Member Magic
Never Miss a Lead, Day or Night
Never Miss a Lead, Day or Night: Imagine a prospect scrolling your site at 2 AM after a late-night run, eyeing your AMRAP hero WODs. Our chatbot engages right away with scaling options and books their free intro session on the spot—gyms report a 30% surge in trial sign-ups from off-hours chats, transforming midnight browsers into dedicated box members within 24 hours.
Skyrocket Retention with Instant Support
Skyrocket Retention with Instant Support: Hitting a squat plateau or needing cues for kettlebell swings? The bot delivers tailored advice from your programming library, like Rx modifications or mobility drills, anytime. This constant access fosters loyalty—see retention boost by 25% in the first quarter as members feel the community support that keeps them PR-ing week after week.
Free Your Coaches for What Matters
Free Your Coaches for What Matters: Routine asks like 'How do I scale today's metcon for beginners?' or 'When's the next yoga flow for recovery?' drain energy. Our AI resolves 70% independently, pulling from your class schedule and equipment guides, so coaches can zero in on form checks during deadlift sessions and building those unbreakable athlete bonds. Outcome: 40% more coaching hours for high-impact interactions, leading to tighter-knit gym vibes.
What Clients Say
"Before the chatbot, we'd get frantic texts at 10 PM about WOD cancellations due to weather, and our slow replies meant members bailed on the next day's sessions. Now, it instantly notifies them and suggests makeup classes from our programming calendar. Last quarter alone, we retained five at-risk members who were about to churn over scheduling frustrations."
Sarah Jenkins
Head Coach at IronForge CrossFit, a 150-member affiliate in Denver
"I doubted an AI could grasp the nuances of CrossFit scaling for different levels, but it handles queries on subbing dumbbells for barbells flawlessly and even books drop-ins via our Vagaro integration. Response times dropped from 48 hours to under 60 seconds, and we saw a 20% retention lift in our first month—members are sticking around for the seamless support."
Mike Rodriguez
Owner of Apex Strength Collective, a functional fitness studio in Austin with 200+ athletes
"I'd lose sleep over 1 AM emails about injury mods for our HIIT classes or nutrition tweaks for Zone dieting. The chatbot now syncs with our Mindbody app to provide spot-on answers and converted a traveling athlete's 3 AM drop-in inquiry into a full-month membership by 9 AM that same weekend—it's revolutionized our 24/7 operations for our boutique wellness gym."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the chatbot understand CrossFit-specific terms like 'Murph' or 'Fran'?
We train it exclusively on your gym's data—your WOD archives, coaching notes, and member FAQs—so it speaks the language naturally. No generic fitness bot here; it's like embedding a knowledgeable affiliate coach into your digital presence. For instance, if someone asks about scaling Fran, it pulls from your exact programming guidelines, suggesting modifications that align with your box's philosophy. This customization ensures responses feel personal and accurate, boosting trust. We've seen gyms reduce confusion-related drop-offs by 40% after implementation. And if it's something niche, it escalates smoothly to your team with the full context.
What if a member has a complex injury question after hours?
Safety first—that's our mantra. The chatbot is programmed with general guidelines from reputable sources like CrossFit's own resources, offering basic advice like 'rest and ice for acute strains' while strongly recommending a consult with a coach or doctor. It won't diagnose; instead, it logs the details and alerts your team for follow-up first thing. In one case, a gym owner told us their bot caught a member's recurring shoulder issue early, leading to a personalized program that kept them training instead of quitting. This 24/7 availability prevents small issues from snowballing into churn, all while integrating with your scheduling for quick appointments.
Can it integrate with my existing gym management software?
Absolutely, we specialize in deep, two-way integrations with tools like Mindbody, Zen Planner, or SugarWOD. Your chatbot pulls real-time data—like class availability or member profiles—to answer queries on the spot, such as 'Is there space in tomorrow's 6 AM class?' It even books spots directly, updating your system instantly. No more manual syncing or errors. For a CrossFit box we built for, this cut admin time by 15 hours a week, freeing coaches for hands-on work. We handle the technical heavy lifting, ensuring it's seamless and scalable as your membership grows.
How much does a custom chatbot cost for a small CrossFit gym?
Costs vary based on your needs, but for a typical box with 100-200 members, we start around $5,000 for the build, with optional monthly maintenance at $200-500. This includes full customization, integration, and training—no ongoing subscriptions to third-party bots. Think of it as investing in a digital coach that pays for itself through higher retention and leads. One client recouped their investment in three months via increased trial sign-ups. We offer a free consultation to scope your exact setup and provide a tailored quote, focusing on ROI like reduced coach burnout and 24/7 lead capture.
What happens if the chatbot can't handle a query?
It's designed to know its limits. For anything beyond its scope—like detailed medical advice or sensitive membership issues—it seamlessly hands off to a human with the entire conversation history attached. This ensures no member feels dismissed. In practice, it resolves 75-80% of inquiries independently, based on our deployments. For example, a gym reported their escalation rate dropped to under 20% after tweaks, with coaches appreciating the context-rich transfers. We monitor and refine post-launch to minimize handoffs, keeping your community supported around the clock without overwhelming your team.
Is the chatbot available on mobile for members texting from the gym floor?
Yes, it's fully mobile-optimized and works across SMS, WhatsApp, or your app for quick, on-the-go chats. Imagine a member mid-warmup asking about box jumps—they get an instant, helpful reply without stopping their flow. We build it to feel conversational, like texting a coach buddy. Integration with push notifications means urgent updates, like class cancellations, reach everyone instantly. Gyms using this see higher engagement during peak hours, with one reporting a 25% increase in in-session queries resolved without interrupting classes. It's all about enhancing that immersive CrossFit experience.
