What Makes Us Different:
Quantifiable Gains for Your Bottom Line
Save 15+ Hours Weekly on Manual Screening
Save 15+ Hours Weekly on Manual Screening: Our AI scans thousands of profiles in minutes, filtering for yoga instructors with 2+ years experience or personal trainers certified in group fitness via NASM or ACE. Gym owners report reclaiming time for client sessions, boosting overall studio productivity by 25% within the first quarter. No more late nights buried in emails—focus on what drives retention: exceptional member experiences like personalized HIIT classes.
Achieve 40% Faster Time-to-Hire with 2x Better Retention
Achieve 40% Faster Time-to-Hire with 2x Better Retention: In the wellness world, where seasonal demand surges like summer bootcamps, our system predicts hiring needs and pre-qualifies candidates based on video demos of Zumba or Pilates sessions. This cuts your time-to-hire from 45 days to 27, while matching reduces early dropouts. One chain saw turnover drop from 35% to 18% in six months, saving $120K annually in retraining for spin instructors and group trainers.
Unlock 300% ROI Through Cost Reductions
Unlock 300% ROI Through Cost Reductions: Manual recruiting in fitness can cost $8,000 per hire when factoring agency fees and lost productivity from understaffed yoga or CrossFit classes. Our custom automation eliminates that, delivering payback in 4 months through automated sourcing from local wellness networks. Studios gain efficiency without the subscription bloat—think of it as streamlining your front desk chaos into a well-oiled class schedule for peak-hour sessions.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our busy yoga studio was drowning in resumes every spring for Vinyasa retreats. Their system now auto-screens for Yoga Alliance-certified instructors who align with our mindfulness focus, and we've filled three positions in under two weeks. It's saved us about 12 hours a week, letting me actually teach restorative classes instead of playing HR—our member satisfaction scores jumped 20% as a result."
Sarah Mitchell
Owner, Flow Wellness Studio
"Hiring personal trainers was a nightmare with our chain's rapid expansion into new HIIT zones. The custom AI they built integrates with our MindBody scheduling app and flags candidates based on energy profiles from video interviews of bootcamp demos. We reduced no-shows by half and cut hiring costs by $15K last quarter—game-changer for our high-turnover environment, especially during peak gym seasons."
Mike Rivera
Operations Director, Peak Fitness Chains
"As a small Pilates center, we couldn't afford recruitment agencies for Reformer specialists. AIQ's automation handled sourcing from local wellness groups like IDEA Health and verified CPR/AED credentials automatically. In the first month, we onboarded two stellar instructors, and my admin time dropped from 18 hours to 4—now we run full mat classes without scheduling gaps, increasing revenue by 15%. Real results, no fluff."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the AI ensure candidates fit our gym's high-energy culture?
We train the model on your past successful hires, analyzing traits like enthusiasm for client motivation and flexibility for varied shifts. For a fitness studio, it might prioritize profiles showing experience in bootcamps or HIIT, then score them against your values—like community focus or sustainability. This isn't generic matching; it's custom to your vibe, reducing mismatches by 60% based on our deployments. You'll review top matches in a simple dashboard, with options to tweak criteria as your studio evolves.
What integrations work with our existing gym software?
Our system plugs directly into popular tools like Mindbody, Glofox, or WellnessLiving for seamless data flow. For instance, it pulls open shifts from your scheduler to inform sourcing, then pushes qualified candidates straight into your HR portal. We've handled everything from single studios to 10-location chains, ensuring two-way syncs that prevent double-entry errors. Setup takes 2-4 weeks, and we provide full migration support to avoid disruptions during peak seasons.
How secure is the candidate data in your automation?
Security is non-negotiable in recruiting, especially with sensitive info like certifications and health-related backgrounds in wellness. We use enterprise-grade encryption, GDPR-compliant storage, and role-based access controls. Data stays within your owned system—no third-party clouds unless you specify. In one project for a yoga chain, we added audit logs for every access, ensuring full traceability. Regular penetration testing keeps it robust against breaches, giving you peace of mind while focusing on client wellness.
Can this scale if my studio expands to multiple locations?
Absolutely—our architecture is designed for growth, handling everything from a solo Pilates space to a regional gym network. The AI adapts by location, factoring in regional trends like urban spin demand versus suburban yoga preferences. For a client expanding from 3 to 8 sites, we centralized sourcing while localizing matches, cutting per-location hiring time by 50%. It's modular, so adding sites means simple config updates, not rebuilding from scratch, with costs scaling predictably.
What's the typical timeline and cost for implementation?
Implementation kicks off with a 1-week discovery, followed by 4-6 weeks of build and testing, launching in under two months for most studios. Costs start at $25K for a core setup, scaling based on custom needs like multi-location support—delivering ROI through $50K+ annual savings in hiring expenses. Unlike subscriptions averaging $2K/month, you own it outright. We've seen wellness businesses recoup investment in 3-4 months via faster fills and lower turnover, with flexible payment plans to fit cash flow.
How do we measure success after launch?
We embed trackable KPIs right into your dashboard: time-to-hire, cost-per-hire, retention rates at 90 days, and efficiency gains like hours saved per recruiter. For fitness, we benchmark against industry averages—e.g., reducing trainer turnover below the 30% norm. Monthly reviews let us optimize, like refining AI for better nutritionist matches. One gym tracked a 35% productivity boost in their first quarter, with reports exportable to your tools for easy board updates.
