AI demand forecasting for gyms.
AI demand forecasting that fits a gym's week, not the other way around.
Spots members going quiet and follows up personally, timed around school holidays and the start of each term.
From one-person trades to national organisations, we find the hours :)
The questions a public sector buyer asks, answered up front: privacy impact, the NZISM, where the data lives and how an algorithm is held to account.

Not your typical AI agency.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
How it works in New Zealand
We find the one workflow costing gyms the most hours, ship a working slice into production in weeks, prove it pays for itself, then harden it and hand it over.
What AI demand forecasting actually does
Forecasts that account for school holidays, NZ weather, tourist seasons, and your own promo calendar. With the right workflow automated, nine hours of admin a week could drop to about one.*
*Illustrative example only, based on 9 hours a week of admin falling to about 1 hour a week. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
One workflow.
In production.
In weeks.

Where most gyms engagements actually deliver value.
Gyms and studios live or die on membership retention, and most churn happens quietly, weeks before someone cancels.
Lead follow-up, trial conversion, and renewal reminders are the levers that decide a gym's membership numbers.
Questions gyms ask
When does AI demand forecasting actually pay back?
Inside the first quarter, in our experience. We pick the first slice specifically because it's the highest-leverage workflow for a gym - so the savings start landing before the rest of the build is finished.
Do you do hourly billing or fixed price?
Fixed price for the pilot, every time. After that it's your call - fixed price per milestone or a small monthly retainer for ongoing iteration. We don't run open-ended T&M because it disincentivises us from finishing.
Will this run on our own infrastructure?
Yes, where it makes sense. AI demand forecasting can sit entirely in your cloud account, with model calls routed through endpoints you control. We default to Prophet, DuckDB, Claude, BigQuery, Vercel but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.
Do you work with Xero?
Yes. Xero is one of the systems we build around, and we connect to the other tools you already run rather than asking you to switch.
What happens when the Holidays Act is replaced?
The Employment Leave Act 2026 replaces it on 6 August 2028. Until then payroll follows the current Holidays Act, so leave calculations need to handle today's rules and the changeover.
