Fitness Studios · MVP in 3 weeks
Cut No-Show Triage and Trial Follow-Up Down to a 3-Week MVP for Your Studio
Fitness studios don't need another generic booking app — you need software that plugs into the Mindbody, Wodify, or ClubReady stack you already pay for and quietly removes the work nobody at the front desk has time for. In three weeks we scope one painful workflow (no-show triage, trial-to-member conversion, or personalised programming hand-offs), wire it into your existing booking and payments system, and put a working internal beta in front of your coaches and managers. Month-to-month, no statement of work theatre, and the pod stays on to iterate once your team starts using it.
What we build for Fitness Studios
Auto-fill cancelled class slots from the waitlist before they go cold
Watch Mindbody or Wodify for late cancellations, text the waitlist in priority order, and confirm the swap without a staff member touching the inbox.
Trigger trial-to-member follow-up sequences tied to actual attendance
Detect when a free-trial member books their second or third class (or doesn't), and run a personalised SMS and email sequence that hands warm leads to your sales lead.
Generate per-member programming notes from class history and check-ins
Pull attendance, PRs, and coach notes into a draft weekly programming brief each member's coach can review in two minutes instead of twenty.
How a Build Pod fits
Week one we sit with your studio manager and head coach, pick the single workflow that's eating the most hours, and map exactly where it touches Mindbody, Wodify, ClubReady, Stripe, Twilio, or whatever you already run on. You get a written scope and a Loom on day three, not a six-week discovery phase.
Weeks two and three the Build Pod ships the internal beta — backend, integrations, and a thin UI your front desk can actually click. We deploy it into your environment, train one staff member, and stay on month-to-month so the next workflow (referrals, retention alerts, programming) gets built on top of the same foundation instead of bolted on by a new vendor.
Frequently asked questions
- How long before we see working software our front desk can use?
- Three weeks from kickoff to an internal beta running against your real Mindbody or Wodify data. The first usable build is usually clickable inside week two so your manager can steer the rest.
- What software do most gyms use, and can you integrate with ours?
- Most studios we work with run Mindbody, Wodify, ClubReady, or Glofox for booking, plus Stripe, Twilio, and Klaviyo around it. We integrate against their public APIs and webhooks — if there's no API, we'll tell you on day one rather than promise a workaround.
- How is AI used in the fitness industry in a way that actually moves revenue?
- The wins we see are unglamorous: filling cancelled class slots from the waitlist, chasing trial members on the exact day they go cold, and drafting personalised programming so coaches spend minutes per member instead of hours. Wearable dashboards are fun; closing the trial follow-up gap pays the rent.
- What happens after the three weeks — do we own the code?
- Yes. The repo, infrastructure, and documentation are yours. The pod stays on month-to-month if you want the next workflow built; cancel anytime if the first MVP is enough.
