What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Time Savings and ROI That Powers Your Studio's Growth
Save 15-20 Hours Weekly on Manual Screening
Save 15-20 Hours Weekly on Manual Screening: Picture this: instead of spending evenings combing through trainer resumes for ACE-certified pros after a long day of one-on-one mobility sessions, our AI does it in seconds. It flags candidates with the right energy for your retention-focused programs, like those skilled in functional training and mindfulness coaching. Studios see a 40% faster time-to-hire, meaning less downtime for barre classes and more consistent member experiences. That's real ROI—hours back for you to innovate on client retention strategies like personalized wellness plans.
Cut Hiring Costs by 35% with Smarter Automation
Cut Hiring Costs by 35% with Smarter Automation: Manual recruiting? It's like deadlifts without a spotter—risky and exhausting. Our custom AI reduces agency fees and ad spends by targeting ideal trainers directly, such as those with CrossFit Level 2 credentials. One studio owner told us they slashed their quarterly hiring budget from $5K to $3.2K over six months, redirecting savings to wellness workshops on recovery techniques that boosted member renewals by 25%. Efficiency gains like this mean your productivity soars without the burnout from back-to-back spin classes.
Boost Trainer Retention and Member Loyalty
Boost Trainer Retention and Member Loyalty: Hiring the wrong trainer is a setback for your whole studio's vibe. Our AI predicts cultural fits by analyzing past hires and your retention data from group fitness apps, ensuring new team members enhance client journeys in areas like restorative yoga. Result? Turnover drops 28% within the first year, and your members stick around longer for ongoing wellness challenges. Think of it as cross-training your team—stronger hires lead to stronger retention and a thriving wellness community with 20% higher class attendance.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, I was losing sleep over finding reliable NASM-certified trainers for my bootcamp classes during peak summer season. Their system screened 50 applicants in a day and helped me hire two pros skilled in HIIT who fit right in. We've cut hiring time in half, and our client retention is up 15% since the new team started last quarter, with fewer dropouts in our group sessions."
Sarah Jenkins
Owner, FitCore Bootcamp Studios in Austin, TX
"As a small studio, manual recruiting was killing my vibe while I prepped for evening Pilates flows. AIQ built something custom that integrates with my Mindbody booking app, automating everything from resume checks for yoga alliance certified applicants to interview slots around peak hours. Saved me 12 hours a week, and we filled a spot in under two weeks—game-changer for keeping members happy with uninterrupted wellness classes."
Mike Rivera
Head Trainer, Wellness Wave Pilates Studio in Denver, CO
"I was skeptical, but their AI nailed it by focusing on trainers with experience in retention programs like our spin and meditation series. No more mismatched hires; we onboarded a nutrition-savvy coach with RRCA running certification who helped our renewal rate jump from 70% to 85% in three months, thanks to tailored recovery workshops."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your recruiting AI handle the unique needs of personal training studios?
We get it—hiring in fitness isn't just about skills; it's about passion for member retention and that studio energy. Our custom AI is built to scan for trainers experienced in one-on-one coaching or group wellness programs, filtering for things like CPR certifications or knowledge of progressive overload techniques. It learns from your past hires to prioritize cultural fits, ensuring new team members enhance client loyalty. Unlike generic tools, we tailor it to your workflow, integrating with your booking software to avoid scheduling conflicts. Studios typically see setup in 4-6 weeks, with immediate time savings kicking in right away. Let's chat about your specific challenges.
What kind of time savings can I expect from this automation?
You're probably thinking, 'Will this really free up my schedule?' Absolutely. Manual recruiting in a busy studio can eat 15-20 hours weekly—reviewing resumes, chasing references, booking calls. Our AI handles screening and initial outreach in minutes, automating 80% of the process. One client, a boutique trainer spot, went from 10 hours per hire to 2, redirecting time to client progressions and retention events. ROI hits fast: expect 30-40% cost cuts on hiring within the first quarter, with productivity boosts that let you focus on growing your wellness community. It's like having an extra staff member without the payroll.
Is this system customizable for my studio's size and focus?
Every studio is different—some emphasize yoga flows for retention, others high-intensity personal training. We don't do one-size-fits-all. Our builders start with your exact needs, like sourcing trainers for small-group sessions or those skilled in corrective exercise. We code it to integrate with your tools, whether it's a simple CRM or full wellness platform. For a 5-trainer studio, it might focus on quick local hires; for larger ones, broader sourcing with retention analytics. No templates here—it's yours, scalable as you add members. We've done this for 50+ fitness SMBs, ensuring it fits like a custom workout plan.
How secure is the data in your recruiting automation?
Security is non-negotiable, especially with sensitive trainer info like certifications and client-facing backgrounds. We build with enterprise-grade encryption and compliance standards, including GDPR for any international hires. Data stays in your controlled environment—no cloud rentals leaking info. Our systems include role-based access, so only you approve final candidates. In fitness, where trust builds retention, we've never had a breach in our deployments. Think of it as a secure locker for your gym gear—everything protected, accessible only when needed. We walk you through audits during setup.
What if I already use hiring tools—can this integrate?
Juggling tools is the subscription chaos we fix. Whether you're on Indeed, ZipRecruiter, or your studio's ATS, we create deep API integrations for seamless data flow—no more manual exports. Our AI pulls in applicant data, enriches it with fitness-specific insights (like skill matches for your retention programs), and pushes qualified leads back. For one studio using Vagaro, we synced everything in two weeks, eliminating double-entry. It's not superficial; it's two-way, so updates reflect instantly. If something breaks seasonally, our team maintains it. This unifies your workflow, saving hours and headaches.
How do I measure the ROI of this recruiting solution?
ROI in fitness terms? It's about filled spots leading to happier members and steady revenue. We embed tracking in your dashboard: metrics like hours saved per hire (aim for 15+ weekly), cost per placement (target 35% reduction), and retention impact (e.g., new trainers boosting renewals by 20%). Pre-launch, we baseline your current process; post-go-live, you see quantifiable gains, like faster onboarding during peak times. One client tracked a $12K annual save from avoided turnover. It's straightforward—monthly reports tailored to your goals, so you know it's paying off in real studio growth.
