Unlock Time and Retention Wins That Transform Your School

Reclaim 15-20 Hours Weekly on Manual Messaging

Reclaim 15-20 hours weekly on manual messaging: No more late nights drafting reminder emails or calling no-shows after poomsae practice. Our system automates birthday shoutouts, personalized progress reports on stance improvements, and rescheduling for makeup sparring sessions. That's time for drilling techniques or mentoring young fighters—delivering a 25% boost in teaching efficiency and happier instructors within the first quarter.

Boost Retention by 30% with Personalized Touches

Boost retention by 30% with personalized touches: Like a coach spotting form in sparring, our AI crafts messages such as 'Hey Alex, great job on those roundhouse kicks last week; ready for your yellow belt test in two weeks?' This fosters loyalty, cuts churn by addressing individual fitness goals, and transforms casual enrollees into lifelong martial artists. Schools report ROI in 3-6 months, with dropouts halving post-honeymoon phase.

Cut Costs by Ditching Tool Subscriptions

Cut costs by ditching fragmented tool subscriptions: Stop paying for apps that don't sync for roster updates or schedule changes. We deliver one owned, unified system saving $500+ monthly on software silos. Redirect savings to tournament entry fees or new striking pads, while accelerating lead conversion by 40% through automated follow-ups within 48 hours of trial sessions.

What Clients Say

"Before AIQ Labs, Fridays were lost to emailing reminders for kids' taekwondo classes—it was draining my energy for actual coaching. Now, the system sends tailored updates on their form progress, and we've slashed no-shows by 50% in our junior program. Last quarter, we retained 12 more students year-over-year, all hands-free."

Mike Rivera

Owner, Dragon Fist Taekwondo Dojo

"Our legacy system caused missed alerts during tournament prep, frustrating parents with questions on eligibility rules. Since implementing their custom automation, inquiry responses are instant via chat, and junior program attendance soared 28% in the last season. It's like the AI anticipates our fighters' needs better than I could alone."

Sarah Kim

Head Instructor, Phoenix Kickboxing Academy

"I doubted AI in our tactile karate environment, but it revolutionized us. Automated reminders for belt progress, like upcoming brown belt exams, have fired up our teen group, saving us 18 hours weekly on admin. Enrollments rose 15% in six months, and my staff now views paperwork as a breeze."

Why We're Different

We build from the ground up with custom code, not fragile no-code patches, so your system evolves with your dojo without breaking during growth spurts

Common Questions

How does this automation handle sensitive topics like student injuries or belt promotions?

We prioritize empathy in every build. The AI is trained on martial arts etiquette to send compassionate, appropriate messages—like a gentle check-in for missed classes due to injury, or exciting yet humble announcements for promotions. It's customizable; you set boundaries, such as requiring manual approval for rank updates. In one school we worked with, this reduced awkward parent calls by 60%, letting you focus on healing and growth. Plus, all data stays secure within your owned system, with encryption for privacy.

Will this work with my current class management software?

Absolutely—integration is our specialty. Whether you're using Mindbody, Zen Planner, or even a custom spreadsheet setup, we create deep, two-way connections so data flows effortlessly. For instance, when a student signs up for a trial, the system auto-generates a welcome sequence without manual entry. We've connected with over 20 fitness platforms, ensuring no disruptions. Setup takes 2-4 weeks, and you'll see immediate time savings, like auto-updating rosters for attendance reminders.

What's the ROI timeline for a school like mine with 100 members?

Most schools break even in 3-6 months. You're saving 15 hours weekly on comms—that's $750+ in admin wages alone at $25/hour. Add retention boosts: One client gained 15 extra members yearly, worth $18,000 in revenue. We calculate your specific ROI during the free consult, factoring in your churn rates and class fees. It's not just savings; personalized touches increase upsells to private lessons by 20%. Long-term, owning the system cuts subscription costs, compounding your gains.

Can the system send messages in multiple languages for diverse student groups?

Yes, we build in multilingual support tailored to your community—think English, Spanish, or even Korean for heritage programs. The AI translates contextually, preserving motivational tone, like adapting 'Keep pushing those forms!' to cultural nuances. A taekwondo school we helped saw engagement rise 35% among non-native speakers. You control languages and dialects, and it's all handled server-side for accuracy, ensuring no miscommunications that could affect trust in your dojo.

How customizable is this for seasonal events like summer camps or holiday breaks?

Fully customizable—we design campaigns around your calendar. For summer camps, it auto-sends hype emails with packing lists and progress previews; for breaks, gentle re-engagement nudges to prevent summer slide. Input your events once, and the AI schedules everything, including weather-based adjustments (e.g., indoor class alerts). One karate academy used this to fill 90% of camp spots automatically, saving weeks of manual promotion. It's your system, so tweaks are easy via a simple dashboard.

What if my team isn't tech-savvy—will they be able to use it?

We make it intuitive, like learning a new kata—step-by-step and rewarding. Dashboards use simple visuals: Drag-and-drop for message templates, one-click approvals. We provide 2-hour training sessions with your instructors, plus ongoing support. A judo school with non-digital natives reported their team mastering it in a week, now using it to track gi orders too. No coding needed; you're empowered, not dependent, turning admin from chore to quick win.
