What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we drowned in resumes every time we needed a NASM-certified personal trainer—easily 10 hours a week just filtering for group fitness experience. Now, their system auto-flags top matches, and we hired two stellar HIIT instructors in under two weeks. It's saved us over $5K in agency fees this year, and our members rave about the non-stop, high-energy classes."
Sarah Thompson
Owner, FitFlow Yoga & Spin Studios
"Hiring during our chaotic summer wellness camp season was a nightmare—juggling interviews around kids' aerial yoga and mindfulness sessions was undoable. The custom automation from AIQ Labs syncs seamlessly with our scheduling app, managing invites, reminders, and even reference checks for CPR-certified staff. We halved our hiring time to 10 days, and the fresh team's vibe has jacked up retention by 18% with packed, engaging programs."
Mike Rivera
Operations Manager, Wellness Hub Family Fitness Center
"I was doubtful about AI handling the personal touch for building our boutique team's passion for holistic wellness, but their setup screens for that client-rapport magic we crave in yoga instructors. Last quarter, it streamlined onboarding a RD-credentialed nutrition coach who revamped our post-class recovery shakes, boosting program upsells by 22%. It's like an in-house talent scout minus the six-figure overhead."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this custom AI handle the unique hiring needs of a small boutique gym?
Great question—small studios like yours often need hires who double as community builders to drive retention. We start by auditing your workflow: think class types, member demographics, and peak hours. Then, our AI is trained on those details to source and screen for multifaceted talent, like a yoga instructor who also excels at upselling wellness packages. Unlike generic tools, it's built to integrate with your setup, saving you 15+ hours weekly. One client, a yoga-focused gym, used it to hire a lead who boosted monthly memberships by 18% in three months. We ensure it's intuitive, with minimal training, so your team adopts it fast without disrupting daily ops.
What kind of time savings can I expect from automating recruiting?
You're probably thinking about the hours lost to manual tasks amid running classes and retention efforts. Realistically, gyms see 20-25 hours saved per week once implemented. For instance, resume screening drops from 5-7 hours to under 30 minutes, and scheduling interviews automates entirely, freeing your manager for member check-ins. This ROI compounds: faster hires mean less overtime pay and quicker impact on retention. A CrossFit box we worked with calculated $8,000 in annual savings from reduced agency fees alone. We quantify this upfront in your consultation, tailoring to your scale—no vague promises.
Will this AI system integrate with my existing gym software?
Absolutely, integration is our specialty. Whether you're on Mindbody, Vagaro, or a custom setup, we create deep, two-way connections so candidate data flows seamlessly into your rosters and member systems. No more duplicate entry that wastes time. Here's the thing: we've handled everything from legacy fitness CRMs to modern apps, ensuring zero downtime during setup. For a pilates studio client, this meant new trainer profiles auto-populating in their scheduling tool, cutting onboarding from days to hours. It's all custom-coded for reliability, not superficial links that break under pressure.
How do you ensure the AI hires align with our retention-focused culture?
Retention is the heart of fitness businesses, so we embed it into the AI's core logic. During discovery, we analyze your successful hires—what made them great at keeping members motivated? The system then scores candidates on those traits, like empathy in client interactions or creativity in class planning, alongside hard skills. It's like a personal trainer customizing workouts; no generic filters. A wellness center we built this for reduced staff turnover by 35%, directly tying to steadier member experiences. We include ongoing tweaks based on your feedback, ensuring it evolves with your gym's vibe.
What's the timeline for building and launching this custom solution?
Let's be honest, you can't afford long delays in a fast-paced industry. For most gyms, we deliver a fully functional system in 4-6 weeks: week one for mapping your needs, two-three for building and testing integrations, and the rest for launch with training. It's phased to minimize disruption—start with screening, add scheduling next. A HIIT studio went live in five weeks and hired their first batch without a hitch. Post-launch, we monitor for two weeks to optimize, guaranteeing quick wins like your first automated hire. Speed without sacrificing quality, built for your exact timeline.
Is this more cost-effective than using recruiting agencies or job boards?
Hands down, yes—agencies charge 20-30% of a hire's salary, which adds up fast for multiple roles. Our one-time build (starting around $15K, depending on complexity) pays off in 6-9 months through savings. No recurring fees; you own it. Compare: a gym posting on Indeed spends $500+ monthly with low-quality leads, while our AI targets precisely, cutting waste. One client ditched their agency after implementation, saving $12K yearly and hiring better fits. We focus on your ROI from day one, with metrics to prove it—time back, costs down, retention up.
