Main features

Retention starts with the follow-up

The window after a first session is short. Automate the follow-up and the renewal, and keep classes full in between.

Use cases

Five flows across the member lifecycle

Enquiry, trial, membership, retention and win-back.

01 · Conversion

Follow up while the session is still fresh

Trials convert on follow-up, and the window is hours rather than days. A message that evening asking how it went – and offering plans or a trainer booking – converts far better than a call next week.

02 · Classes

Fill the sessions that run half empty

Weekly timetables to the right segments, plus waitlist notifications the moment a space opens. Empty spots in a class are revenue you’ve already paid the instructor for.

03 · Renewals

Renew before it lapses

Lapsed members rarely come back. A reminder before the date with a payment link keeps the member instead of starting an expensive win-back cycle.

04 · Onboarding

Get new members into a routine

The first fortnight decides whether someone becomes a regular. A short sequence – induction, first class, check-in – builds the habit before motivation fades.

05 · Front desk

Stop answering the same five questions

Opening hours, off-peak access, class availability and how to freeze a membership resolve themselves. Complaints and injuries always go to a person.

FAQ

Gyms & Fitness questions

Something we haven’t covered? Our team knows this sector.

Can we trigger the trial follow-up automatically? expand_more

Yes – connect your access control or booking system and attendance fires the sequence the same evening.

Will members find weekly timetables spammy? expand_more

Segment by the classes each member actually attends and keep it to one message a week. Every broadcast carries a one-tap opt-out.

Does it work across several clubs? expand_more

Each club gets its own inbox, timetable and offer lists, with retention reporting rolling up centrally.

What about personal training enquiries? expand_more

PT enquiries are captured with goals and preferred times, then assigned to a trainer who covers that.

Can members book classes in the chat? expand_more

Yes, using a calendar block in an Auto Flow. Waitlist notifications go out automatically when a space frees up, which is usually where the extra attendance comes from.

Will this replace our membership system? expand_more

No, it sits in front of it. Renewal dates and attendance come from your existing system through webhooks, so the messages always reflect real data.
