Wasting budget on temp staffing during seasonal rushes like New Year's resolutions, pulling focus from retention strategies
Struggling to source CrossFit Level 2 certified coaches who grasp affiliate programming and mobility drills, leading to inconsistent WOD delivery and member frustration

What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Real Time Savings and ROI for Your Gym
Reclaim 15-20 Hours Weekly on Manual Tasks
Reclaim 15-20 Hours Weekly on Manual Tasks: You're probably thinking, 'How do I find time for hiring amid leading dawn patrols and scaling WODs for beginners?' Our system automates resume parsing for CrossFit certifications and initial outreach to L1/L2 trainers, like having an extra coach handling admin. One box owner shared they cut resume reviews from 10 hours a week to just 2, freeing up time for personalized mobility sessions that reduced injury-related churn by 12%. That's pure efficiency – less admin drag, more community gains.
See 3x Faster Hires with 40% Cost Reduction
See 3x Faster Hires with 40% Cost Reduction: Short on cash for recruiters during peak New Year's resolution rushes? We get it – margins in affiliate boxes are tight with equipment and programming costs. This custom automation slashes agency fees by targeting CrossFit job networks and speeds time-to-hire from 3 months to just 4 weeks. Imagine filling a barbell cycling coach spot mid-season without overtime chaos or temp fillers disrupting your hero WODs. Gyms using our system hit ROI in under 3 months, with one saving $8K yearly on staffing while landing vibe-matching coaches that boosted class attendance by 18%.
Boost Productivity and Team Morale
Boost Productivity and Team Morale: Manual hiring feels like an endless AMRAP of sifting through unqualified profiles – exhausting and a real energy suck for your coaching staff. Our AI handles the grunt work, screening for programming expertise and community fit, so you can focus on curating experiences like team throwdowns that keep members hooked and coming back. Coaches stay energized for peak-hour classes, not buried in admin emails. We've seen productivity jumps of 25% in boxes, turning recruitment from a bottleneck into a booster for scaling your gym's membership and wellness programs.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we were burning weekends posting on Indeed and chasing leads for L1 certified coaches – it was totally killing our box vibe. Now, the system auto-screens for CrossFit pros with strong scaling skills and books interviews around our 6AM dawn patrols. We hired two amazing coaches in just one month, stabilizing our team and bumping member retention up 15% with better WOD consistency."
Sarah Jenkins
Head Coach at IronForge CrossFit, a 200-member affiliate box in Denver
"Hiring during the post-holiday resolution rush used to mean temp agencies draining our budget on unqualified fillers who couldn't handle our mobility-focused programming. Their custom AI sourced a nutrition-savvy, CrossFit L2 certified coach who meshed perfectly with our community, all without the usual hassle of manual outreach. Saved us about 12 hours a week on admin, and we're not scrambling for seasonal coverage anymore – class quality's never been higher."
Mike Rivera
Owner of Apex Strength Gym, a boutique CrossFit studio in Austin with 150 active members
"I was skeptical about AI for something as personal as hiring coaches who get our high-intensity programming, but this setup nailed it. It matched candidates based on our affiliate-style WODs and even flagged ones with strong Instagram presence for leading community clean-and-jerks workshops. Cut our hiring costs in half last quarter, and we've seen a 20% uptick in member engagement from the better team fit."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle the unique needs of CrossFit hiring, like finding coaches with specific lifting expertise?
Great question – CrossFit isn't your average gym gig. Our custom AI is trained on industry-specific data, scanning for keywords like 'CFC' certification, Olympic weightlifting background, and experience with adaptive programming for all levels. We map it to your exact requirements, say, prioritizing coaches skilled in mobility work for your older athletes. This isn't off-the-shelf; we build it to filter out mismatches early, so you're interviewing folks who can jump into your WODs seamlessly. Gyms we've worked with see a 60% better fit rate, meaning less turnover and happier members. Plus, it integrates with your scheduling to suggest times that don't clash with your prime classes.
What's the timeline for seeing ROI from this recruiting system?
You're probably thinking about quick wins amid tight budgets. Typically, we deliver a working prototype in 4-6 weeks, with full integration in 8-10. ROI kicks in fast – one CrossFit owner recouped costs in two months by avoiding a $4K recruiter fee and filling a spot 40% quicker. We focus on metrics like hours saved (aim for 15+ weekly) and cost cuts, tracking them via your dashboard. It's all custom, so if your gym's in a hiring crunch, we prioritize high-impact features first. Long-term, it boosts retention by ensuring stable staffing, which we've seen add 10-15% to membership renewals.
Will this system integrate with my existing gym software like Mindbody or Vagaro?
Absolutely, integration is our bread and butter. We don't just slap things together; we create deep, two-way connections that pull in your member data, class schedules, and even retention metrics to inform hiring. For instance, if low retention ties to inconsistent coaching, our AI flags candidates who excel in community building. We've linked with Mindbody for dozens of fitness clients, automating everything from applicant import to onboarding alerts. No more manual entry – it's seamless, reducing errors that could mess with your ops. If you're on something else, we'll adapt; our engineers handle custom APIs like pros.
How do you ensure the AI doesn't overlook passionate but non-traditional coach candidates?
Let's be honest, the best CrossFit coaches often come from unexpected paths – maybe a former athlete without a fancy resume but killer energy. Our system uses advanced natural language processing to evaluate beyond buzzwords, analyzing cover letters for passion points like 'building community through sweat' or volunteer coaching history. We train it on your gym's values, so it surfaces hidden gems from local meetups or social media. One client hired a standout from an Instagram reel we flagged – now she's leading packed classes. It's customizable to weigh soft skills heavily, ensuring you get talent that fuels your member experience, not just paper qualifications.
What kind of support do you provide after launch?
We stick around because launching is just the warmup. Post-go-live, you get 30 days of hands-on training for your team, plus ongoing optimization – we review hire data monthly to refine the AI, like tweaking a program for better results. If a new job board pops up or your retention goals shift, we update it free in the first quarter. Our clients rave about the Slack channel access to our engineers for quick fixes. Think of us as your virtual ops coach, ensuring the system evolves with your box and delivers sustained savings, not a one-and-done setup.
Is this scalable for a growing CrossFit affiliate with multiple locations?
Yes, scalability is core to what we do. For multi-site gyms, we build a centralized system that adapts per location – sourcing coaches for your urban box's high-energy vibe versus a suburban one's family focus. It handles volume spikes, like hiring for 10 new spots during expansion, without slowing down. We've scaled this for a chain that grew from 3 to 7 affiliates; they cut centralized hiring time by 50% while maintaining local flavor. The architecture is robust, with cloud-based dashboards for oversight, so as you add members or boxes, recruiting stays efficient and cost-effective.
