Members ghosting late-night inquiries about yoga class availability or personal training slots, with 40% of after-hours website visitors abandoning without response
Front desk overwhelmed during peak hours like morning rush for spin classes, causing frustrated walk-ins to leave without signing up for trial sessions
New Year's resolution sign-up spikes for group fitness programs missed due to closed phone lines, leading to a 25% drop in January memberships

Our Custom-Built AI Chatbot for Your Gym
With over 50 fitness and wellness integrations under our belt, we craft chatbots that feel like an extension of your team—not a generic bot.
Why Choose Us
Let's be honest, running a gym means juggling sweaty towels, packed classes, and endless member questions. Here's the thing: your members expect instant answers, whether it's clarifying yoga class availability or renewing their personal training package. Our custom Customer Support Chatbot from AIQ Labs is built from the ground up for your exact workflow. Trained on your gym's schedules, pricing, and even your vibe, it delivers 24/7 instant responses. You're probably thinking, 'Will it handle real fitness scenarios?' Absolutely—like guiding a newbie through your app's workout tracking or upselling a nutrition add-on during off-hours. We replace fragmented tools with one owned system that boosts member satisfaction and keeps retention high.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Non-Stop Member Engagement
Never Miss a Lead, Day or Night
Picture this: A potential member browses your site at 2 AM, curious about dawn yoga slots or evening bootcamps. Our chatbot instantly responds with live availability, books their spot, and sends a motivational follow-up text—capturing leads that boost sign-ups by up to 30% from after-hours interactions, turning midnight scrollers into morning workout warriors within 24 hours.
Boost Retention with Personalized Support
Like a dedicated spotter during a tough deadlift set, our AI delivers consistent, expert guidance on form tweaks for squats, nutrition add-ons, or unlocking premium sauna access. Members feel truly supported, slashing churn by resolving pain points like class conflicts in real-time—one boutique fitness studio saw a 22% retention increase over six months, fostering deeper loyalty through proactive care.
Free Your Team for What Matters
Instant relief for your team: No more fielding repetitive FAQs on class cancellations or towel service during packed HIIT sessions. The chatbot manages it all seamlessly, integrating with your booking software for spin class reschedules or explaining family membership discounts—freeing up 15-20 hours weekly so trainers can focus on personalized coaching and building that vibrant gym community.
What Clients Say
"Before, we'd lose tons of inquiries after 8 PM—folks asking about our early-morning bootcamp schedules just bailed. Since adding the AIQ Labs chatbot four months ago, we've onboarded 15 new members from those late-night chats, including a full family signup during a holiday weekend. It's like a tireless night owl receptionist who gets our fitness vibe."
Sarah Jenkins
Owner, FitCore Studio
"Members were fed up with 10-minute waits for questions on our tiered memberships during the noon Pilates rush. Now, our custom AIQ bot handles it effortlessly, syncing with our real-time class scheduler for instant availability checks. We saw retention climb 18% in just the first three months, and my front desk staff can actually grab lunch without the chaos."
Mike Rodriguez
General Manager, Peak Performance Gym
"I doubted AI could grasp our lingo, but it aces explanations of CrossFit WODs and suggests personalized recovery add-ons like foam rolling sessions. Support tickets dropped 50% in two months, and we've retained 20 more annual members by smoothing out renewal hurdles. Total game-changer for keeping our small studio humming."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the chatbot handle specific gym scenarios like class cancellations?
Great question—gyms live and breathe schedules, so we tailor the AI to pull real-time data from your booking system. If a member asks about canceling a spin class at 10 PM, it checks availability, processes the request instantly, and even suggests alternatives like a yoga makeup session. We've seen this reduce no-show frustrations by 40%, keeping members happy and engaged. It's all custom-coded to your workflow, so it feels like your staff, but available round-the-clock without the overtime costs. Plus, it logs everything for your reports, helping you spot patterns in cancellations.
Will it integrate with my existing gym management software?
Absolutely, integration is our specialty. Whether you're using Mindbody, Glofox, or another platform, we build deep, two-way connections so the chatbot can access live data—like membership status or class rosters—without manual updates. No more disjointed systems; it's a unified setup that eliminates errors. For one gym client, this meant instant verification of payments during chats, cutting support time by 25%. We handle the heavy lifting, ensuring it's seamless and scalable as your member base grows.
What if a query is too complex for the AI to handle alone?
Smart thinking— not every question is straightforward, especially in fitness where personal advice matters. Our chatbot is designed with smart handoff: It recognizes when something needs a human touch, like detailed nutrition plans or injury concerns, and seamlessly transfers to your team via email, Slack, or direct message. It even pre-summarizes the conversation for context. This way, you maintain that personal connection while the AI filters out the routine stuff. Studios using this report 60% fewer escalations, freeing staff for high-value interactions.
How much does a custom chatbot cost for a small gym?
Costs vary based on your gym's size and needs, but for a typical small studio with 200-500 members, we're looking at a one-time build fee starting around $8,000-$15,000, plus minimal ongoing maintenance. This replaces multiple subscriptions and delivers ROI fast—often within 3-6 months through saved time and gained members. Unlike off-the-shelf bots, ours is owned by you, so no recurring vendor fees. We start with a free consultation to scope exactly what fits your budget and goals, ensuring it's an investment that pays off in retention and satisfaction.
Can the chatbot help with member retention efforts?
Yes, retention is the heart of fitness businesses, and our chatbot is built for it. It proactively engages members—like sending reminders for lapsed renewals or polling satisfaction after workouts—and uses your data to personalize nudges, such as 'Ready for that next personal training session?' This targeted approach has helped gyms increase renewal rates by 20-30%. It's not just reactive support; we embed retention strategies into the AI, tracking engagement metrics to refine your programs. Think of it as a digital coach always working to keep your community strong and loyal.
How quickly can we get this up and running?
From consultation to launch, most gyms are live in 4-6 weeks. We move fast: Week 1 for discovery and design, weeks 2-3 for building and integrating with your systems, then testing and tweaks before go-live. For urgent needs, like prepping for a membership drive, we can accelerate to 3 weeks. One CrossFit box had it running just in time for their holiday push, capturing a surge in inquiries without extra staff. It's efficient because we focus on your priorities, delivering a polished, 24/7 solution that hits the ground running.
