Why Choose Us
Let's be honest, running a CrossFit box means every minute counts—between programming killer WODs and keeping members hooked, who has time for endless recruiting? At AIQ Labs, we build recruiting automation that's custom-coded for your workflow. No off-the-shelf nonsense. We integrate with your member management system, scan for coaches who get the CrossFit vibe, and automate everything from sourcing to scheduling.

What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Time and Cost Wins That Fuel Your Gym's Growth
Save 15+ Hours Weekly on Manual Hunts
Save 15+ Hours Weekly on Manual Hunts: Picture this: instead of sifting through unqualified applicants after a long day of leading AMRAP sessions, our AI handles sourcing CrossFit Level 2 certified coaches and initial vets via integrated job feeds. Gym owners report filling coach spots 3x faster—often within 7-10 days—freeing you to refine your benchmark WODs or host box socials. That's real efficiency—hours back for what drives retention: killer member experiences during hero workouts.
Slash Hiring Costs by 40% with Smart ROI
Slash Hiring Costs by 40% with Smart ROI: Here's the thing: bad hires in a CrossFit affiliate can cost thousands in lost productivity, like empty slots during The Open season, and turnover. Our custom system predicts fits based on past performance data from Mindbody integrations, reducing bad matches for coaches who thrive in functional fitness environments. One gym cut agency fees entirely, seeing a 200% ROI in the first quarter by owning their hiring pipeline—no more subscription traps to platforms like SugarWOD job boards.
Boost Productivity with Retention-Focused Hires
Boost Productivity with Retention-Focused Hires: You're probably thinking endless recruiting kills your coaching vibe during peak class times. We automate it all, like a spotter lifting the heavy load of affiliate programming demands, so your team stays energized for daily WODs. Quantifiable gains? Expect 25% higher staff retention as AI ensures coaches align with your member-first ethos, like prioritizing scalable workouts, turning hires into long-term assets who boost community engagement.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we spent weekends posting ads on CrossFit-specific boards for new coaches who could handle our Rx-level programming—total drag on family time after long box hours. Now, their system auto-sources Level 1 and 2 certified folks who actually get our EMOM and couplet WODs. Hired two solid ones in just two weeks, and member feedback on class intensity and scaling improved right away. Saved us about 10 hours a week easy, letting us focus on community challenges."
Sarah Jenkins
Head Coach, IronForge CrossFit Affiliate in Austin, TX
"Our box was bleeding cash on turnover—coaches bailing mid-season right before The Open workouts hurt our leaderboard prep bad. AIQ built this custom flow that screens for commitment levels using our past data from Wodify attendance logs. Cut costs by half, no joke, and the new hires stuck around for six months straight. It's like having an extra admin without the payroll hit, especially during high-volume programming weeks."
Mike Rodriguez
Owner, Apex Strength Gym CrossFit Box in Denver, CO
"I was skeptical—how could AI understand our CrossFit culture with its focus on functional movements and box camaraderie? But they tailored it to our affiliate needs, integrating with Mindbody for seamless Open Gym scheduling and coach availability. Went from 4 weeks to hire to under 10 days for a coach who nails partner WODs. Retention's up 30% because we're not rushing bad fits anymore—our small team feels supported. Game-changer for keeping the energy high during AM classes."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle CrossFit-specific qualifications?
We tailor the AI to scan for exact needs, like CrossFit Level 2 certs or experience with adaptive programming for diverse members. It pulls from niche sources—think CrossFit forums, USA Weightlifting profiles—and scores based on your criteria. No more wading through generic trainers. One gym we worked with used it to filter for RX-level coaches, cutting unqualified apps by 70%. It's all custom-built, so it evolves with your box's focus, whether on strength or endurance. Setup takes about two weeks, and you'll see immediate time savings in reviews.
What's the ROI for a small CrossFit affiliate?
Expect 3-5x returns in the first year. By automating sourcing and screening, you save 10-20 hours weekly— that's $500+ in staff time alone at typical rates. Reduced turnover means fewer rehires; gyms report 30% lower costs. We base this on real metrics: a 50-member box we automated saw hiring costs drop from $5K to $2K per coach. It's not just savings—better fits boost member retention by 15%, adding revenue. We calculate your specific ROI during discovery, ensuring it aligns with your goals.
Can it integrate with my existing gym software?
Absolutely— we specialize in seamless two-way integrations. Whether you're on Mindbody, Zen Planner, or even custom setups, our system pulls member data for context-aware hiring (like spotting coaches who vibe with your community's energy). It pushes new hire info directly into schedules, avoiding double-entry headaches. For a recent client, we linked it to their booking app, auto-blocking interview times during peak classes. It's robust, not fragile, so it withstands high-volume days like your Friday night WODs. Full integration audit is part of our free consult.
How secure is the candidate data in your system?
Security's non-negotiable, especially with personal info like certs and resumes. We use enterprise-grade encryption and comply with GDPR/CCPA standards, building in role-based access so only your hiring team sees data. Unlike off-the-shelf tools, our custom code means no third-party vulnerabilities. We audit everything— one gym appreciated how it anonymized early screening to reduce bias. Data stays yours; we don't store or sell it. Post-launch, we monitor for threats, ensuring your recruiting stays confidential amid CrossFit's tight-knit community.
What if my gym's hiring needs change seasonally?
Our systems are designed to flex like a dynamic warm-up. For CrossFit, that means ramping up for the Open or holiday surges—we build in adjustable parameters, like prioritizing part-time coaches in summer. You can tweak sourcing criteria on the fly via an intuitive dashboard. A client gym scaled from 2 to 5 hires during peak without hiccups, saving 40% on temps. We include quarterly reviews to optimize, ensuring it matches your evolving retention strategies. It's not set-it-and-forget-it; it's adaptive to keep your team strong year-round.
Do I need tech expertise to use this?
Nope— we make it as straightforward as logging a PR. The dashboard is user-friendly, like your app for class sign-ups, with simple toggles for searches or approvals. We provide hands-on training, including quick videos tailored to gym life. For non-tech owners, it runs in the background, notifying you via email or Slack about top matches. One owner, busy with daily ops, said it felt like autopilot for hiring. Ongoing support from our team handles any tweaks, so you focus on coaching, not code.
