Your Custom-Built Inventory Forecasting Solution
We've helped over 50 fitness studios replace guesswork with AI that understands gym life
Why Choose Us
Let's be honest, off-the-shelf software treats your gym like just another retailer. But you're member-focused, retention-driven. That's why we build AIQ Labs' inventory forecasting from the ground up – tailored to your exact workflow. We analyze your class schedules, member check-ins, and seasonal challenges to create forecasts that prevent stockouts during HIIT peaks or overstock in winter slumps. No templates. Just a flexible system owned by you, integrated seamlessly with your CRM and POS. You're probably thinking, 'Finally, something that gets the chaos of open gym hours.' Here's the thing: it's designed to evolve as your studio grows.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Retention-Boosting Efficiency
Never Miss a Member's Essential Gear
Picture this: Your spin class is packed, and every bike has a fresh, antimicrobial towel ready. Our custom AI forecasts demand based on real-time signup trends and class capacity, cutting stockouts by 40% within the first quarter and keeping members coming back without frustration – just like we did for a boutique cycle studio in Austin.
Slash Waste and Free Up Cash Flow
Overstocked protein shakes and electrolyte packets gathering dust? Not anymore. We optimize for your unique cycles – think peak summer bootcamps vs. quiet post-holiday Januaries – reducing excess inventory by 30% in under six months, so you can invest in premium group fitness classes instead.
Boost Member Experience Seamlessly
When inventory aligns with your retention goals, members feel the personalized care. Our system predicts needs for wellness challenges like 30-day yoga flows, ensuring recovery smoothies and non-slip mats are always on hand – which we've seen lift retention rates by 25% over a year in similar boutique studios.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we'd overorder resistance bands for our packed HIIT group classes and end up with extras collecting dust for months. Now, their forecasting nails it every time – we saved about $2,500 last quarter on moisture-wicking apparel alone, and our trainers aren't digging through storage mid-session anymore."
Sarah Jenkins
Owner, FitCore CrossFit Studio in Denver
"Our yoga retreat memberships spiked unexpectedly last fall during peak wellness season, but the old spreadsheet system left us short on eco-friendly mats. After implementing their custom AI, we forecasted the surge two weeks out and had everything stocked. Membership retention jumped 18% in the following quarter because members trust we'll always be prepared for their flows."
Mike Rivera
Operations Manager, ZenFlow Yoga & Wellness Center in Seattle
"Dealing with cafe inventory for post-workout shakes and acai bowls was pure trial and error. Their solution analyzes class attendance, member app data, and even local weather patterns – we cut food waste by half in just three months, and it's seamlessly integrated with our studio management app for effortless reorders."

General Manager, Peak Wellness Hub in San Francisco

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your inventory forecasting differ from standard gym software?
Standard tools often use basic templates that don't grasp the nuances of fitness businesses, like how a viral TikTok challenge can spike mat demand overnight. At AIQ Labs, we custom-build AI models trained specifically on your gym's data – class bookings, member retention patterns, and even local event calendars. This means more accurate predictions, say, for summer bootcamp surges, reducing errors by up to 40%. You're not locked into a one-size-fits-all; it's flexible for your workflow. We've seen studios cut overstock costs significantly because it factors in what really drives your inventory needs, not generic retail logic. Let's chat about your setup to tailor it perfectly.
What data do you need to get started on forecasting for my gym?
We keep it simple and secure. You'll share historical inventory logs, sales from your POS, class attendance records, and member signup trends – things you already track in your gym software. No need for fancy exports; we handle integrations. For example, if you use a system like ClubReady, we pull data directly. This lets our AI learn your patterns, like how holiday lulls affect towel usage. It's all anonymized and compliant with privacy regs. In our first consult, we review what's available and build from there, ensuring the forecast aligns with your retention goals without overwhelming your team.
Can this system handle seasonal fluctuations in a fitness studio?
Absolutely, and that's where we shine. Fitness is all about cycles – think packed January classes versus quieter Augusts. Our custom AI incorporates seasonality into every prediction, analyzing past years' data alongside upcoming events like wellness expos. For instance, one studio we worked with forecasted a 25% jump in supplement needs for their spring challenge and adjusted orders perfectly, avoiding shortages. It's not rigid; we make it adaptable so you can input variables like new program launches. This keeps your member experience smooth, boosting retention by ensuring gear is always ready, no guesswork involved.
How much does a custom inventory forecasting solution cost for a small gym?
Costs vary based on your gym's size and complexity, but for a typical 50-200 member studio, we're looking at $8,000 to $15,000 for the build, plus minimal ongoing maintenance since you own it outright. No monthly subs like with off-the-shelf apps. This investment pays off fast – clients often recoup it in 4-6 months through reduced waste and better cash flow. For example, a boutique gym saved $4,000 in the first quarter by nailing protein stock during a membership drive. We start with a free consult to scope your needs and provide a precise quote, ensuring it's built for your budget and workflow.
Will this integrate with my existing gym management tools?
Yes, seamless integration is our specialty. We connect directly to popular platforms like Mindbody, Glofox, or even custom CRMs via robust APIs, creating a unified view of inventory and members. No more manual data entry that eats into your day. Take a client with ABC Fitness software: We linked their inventory forecasts to class schedules, so when a yoga series books up, it auto-adjusts mat orders. It's two-way, meaning updates in one place reflect everywhere. This eliminates silos, helping you focus on retention rather than spreadsheets. If your setup is unique, we customize the bridges to fit perfectly.
How accurate is the forecasting for perishable items like fresh juices in our cafe?
For perishables, accuracy is key to avoid waste, and our AI delivers 85-95% precision by blending sales history with real-time factors like weather or class themes. In a wellness center we built for, it predicted juice demand for post-HIIT sessions, cutting spoilage by 50% over six months. We train the model on your specifics – member preferences from check-ins, even peak hours – and include buffers for variables. It's not set-it-and-forget-it; we refine it quarterly based on your feedback. This means fresher offerings, happier members, and cash saved on toss-outs, all tailored to your cafe's vibe.
