Before automation
- ✕
Mon: Front desk spends 3–4 hours managing class waitlists and sending reminder calls manually
- ✕
Daily: Trial inquiry submitted at 9 PM — nobody follows up until 9 AM the next morning, lead goes cold
- ✕
Monthly: Members who attended twice in 3 weeks and stopped get no proactive win-back outreach
- ✕
Monthly: Failed payments discovered via manual bank reconciliation — 5–10% of MRR unrecovered

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the AI detect at-risk members before they cancel? ▼
The system monitors class attendance frequency in your gym management platform (Mindbody, Glofox, Zen Planner). When a member's attendance drops below their personal baseline — for example, from 4 classes/week to 0 for 10 days — it triggers the win-back sequence. The AI considers each member's individual pattern rather than applying a generic threshold.
Does lead response automation work after business hours? ▼
That's exactly when it matters most. 60%+ of trial inquiry forms are submitted in the evening when the studio is closed. An AI bot that responds within 90 seconds at 9 PM outperforms any human staff following up the next morning. Studios consistently report that instant evening response drives their highest-converting trial bookings.
What's the monthly software cost for a boutique studio? ▼
For a boutique studio with 150–300 members, the ongoing tool stack (Mindbody + Gleantap or Replify + Twilio + Stripe) typically runs $300–$600/month. The custom automation build is a one-time $8,000–$15,000 investment. Most studios recover this within 60–90 days through churn reduction alone.
