What Clients Say

"Before AIQ, I was spending Fridays just emailing parents about upcoming yoga progressions. Now, it's all automated, and we've kept 20 more beginners from dropping out last quarter—especially during our summer wellness dip. Honestly, it's changed how we run the studio—more focus on guiding flows, less on admin."

Mike Rivera

Lead Yoga Instructor, Serenity Flow Studio

"Our retention was slipping with all the manual reminders for spin class attendance. After implementing their custom system six months ago, trial sessions turned into full memberships way faster—up 35% conversion. Saved us about 12 hours a week, and revenue's up 25% without hiring extra staff for peak seasons."

Sarah Chen

Studio Owner, Vital Cycle Wellness Center

"I was skeptical about AI for something as personal as Pilates training, but their tailored automations nailed it. Personalized progress updates for core strength milestones have our members more engaged, and we've cut marketing costs in half over the last year. It's been a game-changer for our boutique studio."

Common Questions

How does this automation handle the personal touch in martial arts marketing?

Great question—martial arts thrives on connection, right? Our custom AI doesn't replace that; it enhances it. We train the system on your dojo's voice, like using terms such as 'kiai' or 'kumite' naturally. For instance, it generates emails celebrating a student's first stripe with specific details from their profile, feeling handcrafted. Schools we've worked with say it boosts open rates by 35% because it's relevant, not robotic. We start with your sample messages and refine iteratively, ensuring every outreach builds that sensei-student bond while saving you hours of manual drafting.

What kind of time savings can a small dojo expect?

Let's be honest, small schools feel the pinch most. You're looking at 10-15 hours saved weekly on tasks like roster updates and follow-ups. One client, a 100-student dojo, cut admin time from 20 hours to 5 by automating reminders and enrollments. That's more time for private lessons or family. The ROI kicks in fast—payback in 2-3 months through higher retention. We tailor it to your scale, so even if you're just starting, it focuses on high-impact areas like trial conversions without overwhelming your setup.

Will this integrate with my existing class management software?

Absolutely, integration is our specialty. Whether you're using Mindbody, Zen Planner, or something custom, we build deep, two-way connections—no brittle plugins. Data flows smoothly: a new trial signup auto-triggers a welcome sequence, updating your roster instantly. We've done this for dozens of fitness ops, avoiding the common headache of data mismatches that lead to missed classes. Setup takes 2-4 weeks, with testing to ensure zero disruptions. You're not locked into our ecosystem; we make it work with what you have, creating that single source of truth for better decisions.

How do you ensure the AI respects privacy in student data?

Privacy is non-negotiable, especially with families in martial arts. We comply with GDPR and CCPA from the start, using secure, encrypted processing. Your data stays owned by you—no sharing with third parties. The AI anonymizes sensitive info for training, focusing only on patterns like attendance trends. Clients appreciate our audit trails, showing exactly how data is used for things like personalized progress nudges. We've built this for wellness businesses where trust is everything, so your members feel safe, and you avoid compliance headaches that could sideline your dojo.

What's the cost, and how do I measure ROI?

Costs are custom, starting around $5K for a basic setup, scaling with your needs—no endless subscriptions. We base it on your dojo size and automations, like adding voice for inquiries. ROI? We track it via built-in metrics: retention rates, conversion uplifts, and hours saved. One school saw 28% more renewals in six months, easily covering costs. You're probably thinking it's a leap, but our free consult includes a personalized projection. Post-launch, we provide dashboards showing exact savings, so you see the wins in black and white—like landing a perfect roundhouse.

Can this scale if my school grows rapidly?

Yes, scalability is baked in. Unlike no-code tools that cap out at 200 students, our production-ready systems handle growth seamlessly—from local dojo to multi-location chain. We use advanced frameworks that auto-scale with traffic, like during tournament seasons. A client expanded from 150 to 400 members without a hitch, as automations adapted to new classes. We design for your future goals upfront, ensuring efficiency gains compound. No rework needed; it's like building a flexible gi that fits as you advance belts.
