What Clients Say
""Before AIQ Labs, I was buried in emails from potential instructors during our busy spring enrollment surge, when reformer class waitlists hit 25 spots. Now, their system screens for Pilates reformer experience automatically, and we filled two spots in under a week—perfect for our core alignment series. Saved me at least 12 hours that I used to plan our member retention workshops on breathwork integration—total game-changer for keeping classes full and members renewing.""
Sarah Thompson
Studio Director, CoreFlow Pilates Studio in Austin, TX
""Hiring for evening shifts was a nightmare with my manual process clashing against class times, especially our popular 6 PM yoga-Pilates fusion flows. The custom automation they built integrates right with my booking app, scheduling interviews seamlessly around peak hours. We've cut hiring costs by about 25% in the last quarter and our instructors are staying longer—up to 18 months now—which means steadier member attendance and fewer drop-ins for our wellness challenges.""
Mike Rivera
Owner, Align Wellness Studio in Denver, CO
""I was skeptical at first, but this isn't some generic tool—it's built for Pilates specifics like screening for anatomy knowledge and apparatus handling. Last month, it sourced three certified pros with Balanced Body credentials we wouldn't have found otherwise, and onboarding was a breeze with quick alignment to our mindful movement protocols. My team's productivity is up 15%, and we're seeing better member feedback on class consistency, with renewal rates climbing 10% in our mat series.""

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle the unique needs of Pilates instructor hiring?
Great question—Pilates hiring isn't like other fitness roles; it's about precision in movement and client connection. Our custom system is built to screen for specifics like apparatus training or breathwork proficiency, pulling from targeted sources such as Pilates Method Alliance directories. We integrate it with your workflow, so it flags candidates who align with your retention-driven approach, like those experienced in group class dynamics. You're probably thinking about data privacy— we ensure all sourcing complies with wellness industry standards. In the end, it saves you hours by automating the grunt work, letting you focus on curating experiences that keep members renewing month after month. Studios we've worked with see hires 40% faster, directly boosting class consistency.
What's the ROI timeline for implementing this in my studio?
Here's the thing: most studios see immediate time savings, with full ROI kicking in within 2-3 months. Think 10-15 hours reclaimed weekly from manual screening—that's like adding an extra staff member without the payroll hit. For a mid-sized Pilates studio, we're talking 30% reduction in hiring costs, or about $5,000-$10,000 saved annually on ads and agency fees. We tailor the build to your scale, integrating with tools like Mindbody for seamless tracking. One client hit break-even on their first major hire cycle. Let's be honest, the real win is the productivity boost: more time for member check-ins means higher retention rates, turning one-time drop-ins into loyal clients.
Can this system integrate with my existing studio management software?
Absolutely, and that's where we shine. Unlike generic tools that force awkward fits, we custom-build integrations for popular Pilates platforms like Vagaro or Zen Planner. For instance, it pulls class schedules to avoid interview overlaps and pushes new hire data straight to your payroll. We've handled everything from simple CRMs to full wellness ecosystems. The process starts with a quick audit of your setup—no downtime, just smooth data flow. You're probably wondering about scalability; our systems grow with you, handling increased volume as your membership expands. Result? No more double-entry errors that waste time, and a unified view of your hiring pipeline alongside member metrics for better retention insights.
How customizable is the AI screening for our studio's specific culture?
Customization is our core—nothing cookie-cutter here. We train the AI on your ideal instructor profile: say, emphasis on inclusive modifications for diverse member needs or passion for mindfulness in Pilates. It scores resumes not just on certs, but on soft skills like client empathy that drive retention. For example, we can weight experience in retention-focused studios higher. The build involves your input, like sample job descriptions, ensuring it feels like an extension of your team. Short term, this cuts mismatched hires; long term, it builds a cohesive staff that elevates member experiences. We've fine-tuned similar systems for studios seeing 25% better cultural fits, reducing turnover and those awkward post-hire adjustments.
What if we're a small studio with limited budget for custom tech?
We get it—Pilates studios often run lean, focusing on community over overhead. Our approach is ROI-first: we start small, automating just your pain points like sourcing and screening, with pricing scaled to your size (think $2K-$5K setup for starters). No endless subscriptions; you own it outright. Payoff? Quick wins like halving time-to-hire, which for a small team means reallocating hours to member events that boost retention. We've partnered with boutique studios under 10 instructors, delivering 20% cost savings in the first quarter. It's like investing in a high-quality reformer—upfront but pays dividends in smoother operations and happier clients. Let's chat details to fit your budget.
Does this help with retaining instructors once they're hired?
Yes, and it's a natural extension. While core to recruiting, our automation includes onboarding workflows that tie into retention—like auto-generating personalized training plans based on your studio's wellness philosophy. It tracks early performance against member feedback, flagging needs for additional Pilates-specific coaching. This proactive approach reduces turnover by 20-30% in our client studios, as new hires feel supported from day one. Imagine no more manual check-ins; the system nudges with resources on class retention tactics. For member-focused businesses like yours, this means consistent instruction quality, fewer cancellations, and stronger loyalty. It's all custom, so we align it with your goals, like integrating with progress trackers for holistic team development.
