AI bots for gyms
WhatsApp booking bot for gyms
A WhatsApp bot that checks your calendar and books people in, day or night. For gyms and studios, it matters most while you're coaching the floor and running classes. The usual trouble: class no-shows block spots for people on the waitlist.
Where gyms and studios lose time today
Class no-shows block spots for people on the waitlist. It costs time every week, which is why gyms and studios ask for the WhatsApp booking bot.
What it looks like in practice
Take a boutique strength gym with around 200 members as an example. A member sends a message at 10:40 on a Sunday night asking for a class later in the week. The bot checks Glofox, offers Tuesday at 11 or Thursday at 4, and books Thursday when they reply. On Monday morning the class is already in the diary.
How it works for gyms
For a boutique strength gym with around 200 members, the flow is short and predictable.
- A member messages your WhatsApp number asking for a class.
- The bot reads live availability from Glofox.
- It offers open times and books the one they pick.
- The class lands in Glofox and they get a confirmation.
- Anything the bot can't handle is handed to you with the full chat.
Tools it connects to
You keep working in Mindbody and Glofox. The WhatsApp booking bot sits alongside, built with WhatsApp Business API, OpenAI and n8n.
Questions from gyms and studios
Does the WhatsApp booking bot work with Mindbody?
It depends on your Mindbody plan. Some tools open their data through an API and some keep it locked, so before we start I check what yours allows. If a direct connection isn't possible, I'll say so and suggest a workaround before you pay anything.
Can I change how it works later?
Yes. The WhatsApp booking bot keeps its messages, timings and rules in settings or a simple sheet you can edit. For bigger changes, such as a new step for your members, message me and I'll quote it first.
What does the WhatsApp booking bot cost to run each month?
Setup for the WhatsApp booking bot starts at $300 while the launch offer is on, for gyms and studios and everyone else. Tools like OpenAI, Twilio and n8n hosting usually cost $5 to $30 a month, billed to you directly. I'll tell you the exact number before we start.
