The "CrossFit Chaos" Problem
Zaps breaking during peak class hours like 6 AM WODs, forcing CrossFit coaches to manually log attendance on clipboards while athletes wait
Juggling multiple apps for athlete sign-ups, CrossFit dues payments, and PR tracking, wasting hours on manual data entry instead of spotting form issues during lifts
Retention slipping because generic reminders from off-the-shelf tools ignore your athletes' personal goals, like prepping for a local Spartan Race
Nutrition and workout logging scattered across platforms, making it impossible to spot trends in member performance like improving deadlift maxes or macro adherence
Scaling class sizes for high-intensity group sessions without custom automations, leading to overbooked bootcamps and frustrated members dropping out mid-cycle
Event promotions for yoga retreats or mobility workshops fizzling out due to clunky integrations that fail to sync with your studio's community class calendar

We've powered 50+ CrossFit gyms with custom systems that replace Zapier's limitations with seamless, owned automation
Why Choose Us
Let's be honest, running a CrossFit gym means dealing with a whirlwind of member interactions, from sign-ups to post-WOD feedback. Here's the thing: off-the-shelf tools like Zapier or Mindbody integrations often feel like trying to deadlift with mismatched plates—they work okay at first but buckle under real pressure. At AIQ Labs, we build custom AI workflows from the ground up, tailored to your exact needs. Think of it as crafting a bespoke programming block just for your box: we connect your member management, payment processors, and even wearable data into one flexible system you own outright. No more vendor lock-in or surprise fees. You're probably thinking, 'Can this really handle my unique setup?' Absolutely—we start with your daily challenges, like automating affiliate referrals or injury tracking, and deliver a production-ready solution that scales as your community grows.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock the Perfect Fit for Your Gym
Streamlined Member Onboarding
Streamlined Member Onboarding: New athletes join seamlessly—no more double-entry forms for CrossFit basics or yoga waivers. Our custom system pulls data from your website sign-ups directly into your CRM, cutting setup time from 20 minutes to under 2, so you can focus on building that box community vibe with welcome WODs right away.
Boosted Retention Through Smart Insights
Boosted Retention Through Smart Insights: AI analyzes attendance patterns for classes like HIIT or powerlifting and sends tailored nudges, like 'Missed your hero WOD? Let's reschedule with scaled options.' Gyms see 25% less churn in the first 6 months because it feels personal, not pushy—imagine turning a flaky member into a lifelong affiliate hitting consistent PRs.
Unlimited Flexibility Without the Fees
Unlimited Flexibility Without the Fees: Adapt to seasonal challenges, like holiday CrossFit surges or summer bootcamp expansions, without paying extra for Zapier tiers. Your owned system evolves with you, handling everything from group class RSVPs to private mobility coaching bookings, saving thousands in annual subscriptions while keeping your studio's energy high.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, our Zapier setup kept glitching during our 5:30 AM peak WOD rushes, and we'd lose track of drop-in payments for out-of-town athletes. Now, everything flows automatically from online sign-up to Stripe confirmation, including gear rental tracking. We've added 15 new members in just three months without any extra admin hassle during our busiest cycles."
Sarah Jenkins
Owner, IronForge CrossFit Box in Austin, TX
"I was skeptical about ditching off-the-shelf tools like MyFitnessPal integrations, but their custom AI now tracks our athletes' PRs across apps and even suggests scaling for Olympic lifts based on fatigue data. Retention's up 18% since launch three months ago—members love the personalized weekly progress reports that tie into their zone 2 cardio goals."
Mike Rivera
Head Coach, Apex Strength & Conditioning Gym in Denver, CO
"No more fighting with brittle integrations for event RSVPs during our quarterly yoga immersion weekends. AIQ built us a system that syncs our community calendar with nutrition logs from wearable data effortlessly, including auto-reminders for meal prep. It's saved my team 10 hours a week on admin, and we're now hosting twice as many mobility workshops without the chaos."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this differ from Zapier for my CrossFit gym?
Zapier is great for quick fixes, but it's like borrowing a neighbor's weights—useful short-term but limited and costly long-term. Our custom AI workflows are built specifically for your box, integrating deeply with tools like Wodify or Mindbody without monthly fees. We handle complex scenarios, like auto-adjusting class sizes based on member feedback or predicting retention drops from attendance data. No more zaps breaking during your busiest mornings; everything runs on owned, scalable code. Gym owners save 20-30 hours weekly on admin, focusing on what matters: coaching and community. Plus, it's flexible—add features like nutrition AI as your needs evolve, without vendor restrictions.
What if I already use other fitness software?
No problem—we specialize in bridging your existing stack. Say you're on SugarWOD for programming and Zen Planner for billing; we'll create two-way APIs that sync member data effortlessly, eliminating manual updates. It's common for CrossFit gyms to have 5-7 tools running; our system unifies them into one dashboard, like a well-oiled rig for your operations. We've done this for dozens of boxes, reducing errors by 40% and freeing coaches from spreadsheet hell. The build process starts with mapping your current workflow, ensuring zero disruption during transition.
How much does a custom system cost compared to Zapier subscriptions?
Upfront, it's an investment—starting around $15K for a core workflow setup, depending on complexity—but think long-term savings. Zapier can run $500+ monthly for a busy gym with multiple zaps; we eliminate that entirely since you own the system. No recurring fees means payback in 2-3 years, often sooner with efficiency gains. For example, one client cut admin time by 25 hours/week, adding revenue from extra classes. We offer phased builds to fit budgets, and our consultations are free to scope exact costs for your needs.
Can this handle scaling as my gym grows?
Absolutely—our systems are designed like progressive overload in training: they strengthen with you. From 100 members to 500, the architecture scales without rework, handling increased data loads like peak Open registrations. Unlike Zapier's tier limits that spike costs, ours grows seamlessly on your infrastructure. We've scaled systems for gyms doubling in size, adding features like AI lead gen for new athlete recruitment. It's flexible, so if you expand to multiple locations, we integrate that too, keeping retention high across sites.
How long until my gym sees results from this?
Quick wins hit fast—basic automations like check-in syncing can launch in 4-6 weeks, with full custom features in 8-12. One gym owner saw immediate relief from manual attendance logging, boosting coach morale overnight. We prioritize high-impact areas first, like retention reminders, which often show 15-20% engagement lifts in the first month. Post-launch, we provide training and monitor for tweaks, ensuring smooth adoption. It's not a rip-and-replace; we layer in alongside your current setup for minimal downtime.
Is the system secure for member data in a fitness setting?
Security is non-negotiable, especially with sensitive health and payment info. We build with enterprise-grade encryption, compliant with GDPR and HIPAA where needed for wellness tracking. Unlike Zapier's shared infrastructure, your owned system runs on secure, private servers you control. Features like role-based access ensure coaches see only relevant data—no accidental leaks during busy class handoffs. We've audited systems for 50+ fitness clients, preventing issues like data silos that plague off-the-shelf tools. Peace of mind means you focus on PRs, not privacy worries.
