Every gym business we've worked with has a different definition of "broken". AI fraud detection only earns its keep when it solves the specific definition you'd give it on a bad day – which is why our first call is mostly listening.
Gyms · Applied AI
Built for the gym who's already tried the off-the-shelf option and bounced off it.
What AI fraud detection actually does
Pattern-watching AI for refund abuse, chargebacks, fake reviews, employee fiddles, and odd supplier invoices. Flags weirdness early – before it's a real problem.
- 01 Learns your normal patterns and flags outliers
- 02 Daily anomaly report, not a constant alert flood
- 03 Explainable scoring so you can act with confidence
- 04 Integrates with Xero, Shopify, and POS systems
Built on: Claude DuckDB Postgres Vercel
From the trenches
The shape of every gym brief we've seen.
- 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.
How we build AI fraud detection for gyms.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for a gym business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI fraud + anomaly.

Questions
FAQ
How quickly can we see something running?
Week three for a clickable internal demo against real data. Week six for a slice your team can actually use. We hold ourselves to those numbers because they're what stops a project drifting into "endless discovery".
What's the smallest engagement you'd take on?
A two-week paid discovery for gyms that aren't sure whether the build is worth doing at all. You get a one-page write-up of what we'd build, what we'd skip, and what it would cost. About 30% of those discoveries end with us recommending you don't proceed.
Anyone else in this space using AI fraud detection?
Plenty. Recovers 3-5x its cost in caught fraud within 6 months. The interesting question is rarely "does it work" – it's "is your team ready to use the output." That's what we'd scope on the call.
What tools do you build AI fraud detection on?
For AI fraud detection we usually reach for Claude, DuckDB, Postgres, Vercel. We're tool-agnostic at heart – we pick what your gym team can actually run after we hand the build over, not what looks good on a vendor sticker.
