The "Forgotten Follow-Up" Problem
Members ghost after their free trial bootcamp because no one follows up on their first session sweat session experience
Coaches spend evenings texting absentees from HIIT classes, pulling them away from family or planning the next group yoga flow
Inconsistent birthday or milestone check-ins, like post-5K race congrats, make members feel like just another number in your packed roster
Missed opportunities to re-engage lapsed members who quit after a busy season, like post-holiday weight loss slumps
Overwhelmed front desk staff juggling manual reminders for spin class bookings and personal training membership renewals
No personalized nudges for underutilized members who signed up for restorative yoga but never show for strength training add-ons like kettlebell circuits
Our Custom Follow-Up Automation – Built for Your Gym's Rhythm
We've powered retention boosts for 50+ fitness studios, turning one-off visitors into lifelong members through smart, seamless AI.
Why Choose Us
Let's be honest, running a gym means wearing a dozen hats – trainer, motivator, admin wizard. But chasing down every member with emails or calls? That's draining your energy when you should be spotting lifts or designing killer workouts. At AIQ Labs, we build a custom AI system that automates those crucial follow-ups, tailored to your exact member journey. No cookie-cutter templates here; we integrate with your booking software, CRM, and even wearable data to send timely, personal nudges. You're probably thinking, 'How does it know when to reach out?' Simple: it learns from your gym's patterns, like reminding a newbie after their third spin class or re-engaging a mom post-maternity leave. The result? A system that feels like an extension of your team, saving you hours while keeping members hooked.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Tangible Time and ROI Wins for Your Studio
Reclaim 15-20 Hours Weekly on Manual Outreach
Reclaim 15-20 Hours Weekly on Manual Outreach: Here's the thing: those late-night texts to no-shows after missed Zumba sessions add up. Our automation handles it all, freeing your coaches to focus on what they love – delivering results in the gym. One boutique fitness studio owner told us they went from 10 hours of weekly admin to zero, redirecting that time to new HIIT program launches that boosted revenue by 25% within the first quarter.
Drive 30% Higher Retention with Smart Nurturing
Drive 30% Higher Retention with Smart Nurturing: Like a well-programmed progressive overload workout plan, our system progressively engages members – from trial thank-yous after their intro Pilates class to loyalty rewards for consistent attendance. Expect ROI in months, not years: reduced churn means steadier membership fees, with one client seeing a 35% lift in renewals after automating post-vacation check-ins for barre class drop-ins.
Boost Efficiency and Cut Costs by 40%
Boost Efficiency and Cut Costs by 40%: No more subscription pile-up for half-baked reminder apps. We build a unified system that slashes manual errors and tool juggling for class scheduling and wellness tracking, delivering a productivity surge. Think of it as streamlining your gym's operations like a high-intensity interval training session – intense results with less effort overall, saving an average studio $5,000 annually in admin overhead.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we'd lose half our trial members because follow-ups fell through the cracks during peak bootcamp hours. Now, the system automatically sends personalized recovery tips after their first high-intensity session, and we've seen a 28% uptick in conversions over six months. It's like having an extra staffer who never sleeps, especially during our busy January rush."
Sarah Jenkins
Owner, FitCore CrossFit Studio
"I was skeptical about automation feeling 'personal' in our small yoga community, but this setup pulls from vinyasa class attendance data to craft messages like 'Loved your flow in last week's sun salutations – ready for advanced inversions?' Retention jumped from 65% to 92% in three months, and my team's actually excited about the mindfulness tracking insights."
Mike Rivera
Lead Yoga Instructor, ZenFlow Wellness Center
"Post-pandemic, re-engaging lapsed members was tough – manual calls for our cycling classes weren't scaling. AIQ built us a workflow that segments by inactivity periods and sends tailored re-entry offers like discounted spin packages. We brought back 15% of drop-offs in the first quarter, saving me from hiring another part-timer and keeping our group ride vibes strong."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle personalization for different member types, like beginners vs. athletes?
Great question – personalization is key in fitness, where one size doesn't fit all. We start by analyzing your member data, like class history or goal tags from your booking system. For a beginner, the AI might send a gentle nudge: 'Hey, loved your energy in Intro Yoga – here's a tip to ease into downward dog.' For an athlete, it's more targeted: 'Missed you at HIIT this week – ready to crush that PR?' It's all custom-built to your workflows, using machine learning to refine over time. Studios we've worked with report 40% higher response rates because it feels genuine, not spammy. And if your gym has niches like prenatal or senior classes, we segment accordingly to boost relevance and retention.
What if my gym uses specific software – will this integrate easily?
Absolutely, integration is our bread and butter. Whether you're on Mindbody, Zen Planner, or even a custom setup, we map out two-way APIs to pull in real-time data like attendance or payment status. No more manual exports that eat your time. For example, after a no-show, it auto-pulls their last class and sends a caring check-in. We've done this for 30+ gyms, handling everything from boutique pilates apps to chain-wide systems. The build takes 4-6 weeks, and we test rigorously to avoid disruptions during your peak seasons. You're left with a unified system that saves hours and keeps member experiences seamless.
Can this help with seasonal retention dips, like after New Year's resolutions?
Spot on – those post-holiday slumps are brutal for gyms. Our automation is designed to predict and prevent them. It monitors patterns, like members who peak in January then fade, and triggers tailored re-engagement: a 'Beat the February Blues' class invite or progress recap email. One client used it to automate win-back campaigns, recovering 20% of lapsed members with offers tied to their past favorites. We quantify the ROI too – expect 15-25% retention lift, translating to thousands in saved acquisition costs. It's like having a retention coach that works year-round, adapting to your gym's seasonal ebbs and flows without you lifting a finger.
How secure is member data in this system?
Security is non-negotiable, especially with sensitive fitness data like health goals or attendance. We build with enterprise-grade encryption and comply with standards like GDPR and HIPAA where applicable. Data stays in your owned system, not scattered across third-party clouds. For instance, follow-up messages are generated on-the-fly without storing unnecessary personal info. We've audited our builds for gyms handling thousands of profiles, ensuring no breaches. Plus, you control access – coaches see only what they need. It's peace of mind that lets you focus on member experiences, knowing everything's locked down tight.
What's the ROI timeline for implementing this?
You're probably thinking about quick wins, and we deliver. Most gyms see time savings immediately – 10-15 hours back per week from day one. Retention boosts kick in within 1-2 months as automated nudges take hold, with full ROI in 3-6 months via reduced churn and higher renewals. Take a mid-sized studio: they saved $5K monthly on admin hires and gained $20K in retained fees after six months. We provide a custom projection during consultation, based on your current metrics. It's not just savings; it's a productivity multiplier that scales with your growth, turning follow-ups into a revenue driver.
Do I need technical expertise to manage this after setup?
Not at all – we design it user-friendly, like your gym's check-in kiosk. You'll get a simple dashboard to view analytics, pause campaigns, or tweak messages without coding. For example, if a new program launches, you can add a follow-up sequence in minutes. Our team handles the heavy lifting, with optional training for your staff. Clients often say it's easier than their current apps, freeing you to run classes instead of wrangling tech. And we're always a call away for adjustments, ensuring it evolves with your studio's needs.
