AI email marketing for gyms.
For gyms who want results in weeks, not a year-long transformation programme.
Already buried in admin? We'll sort the first workflow for you :)
Nine hours a week of admin is 468 hours a year. That could drop to about 52.*
*Illustrative, based on 9 hours a week of admin at a typical 80% automation rate. The calculator uses your own numbers.
Spots members going quiet and follows up personally, timed around school holidays and the start of each term.
Knows the New Zealand rules.
Campaigns planned around school holidays, public holidays including Matariki, and the seasons your customers actually buy in.
- 11 public holidays, plus yours
- Four school terms a year
- An annual return every year
Built differently, on purpose.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
The two or three things that decide whether this works for gyms.
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.
From one-person trades to national organisations, we find the hours :)
Quotes with GST, consent paperwork, LBP records and health and safety logs: the admin every New Zealand trade business carries.
*Illustrative example based on nine hours a week of admin. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
Small team.
Real systems.
Zero fluff.

Straight answers
What if our gym doesn't have any data ready?
Most don't. Getting the data into shape - ingestion, cleaning, the lightweight contracts you need before any model is useful - is part of the engagement. For AI email marketing specifically, we typically run that work on Klaviyo, Mailchimp, Postmark, Claude, Vercel and assume messy starting conditions from day one.
How fast could we have AI email marketing in production?
Eight to ten weeks for most gyms. Faster if your data is in good shape and slower if we're untangling a legacy integration first. We'll give you a realistic number on the scoping call rather than the optimistic one.
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.
What does the Privacy Act 2020 mean for AI?
The same rules apply as for any system holding personal information. A breach that could cause serious harm must be reported to the Privacy Commissioner, who expects it within 72 hours.
Does it keep up with KiwiSaver changes?
It has to. The minimum employer contribution rose to 3.5 per cent on 1 April 2026 and rises to 4 per cent on 1 April 2028.
