WhatsApp automation for gyms and fitness studios.

Trial bookings, member onboarding, class sign-ups and retention messaging — all over WhatsApp.

Gyms and fitness studios team using WhatsApp automation in South Africa

Most gym leads come in hot and go cold within 48 hours. Otomate captures the trial booking, runs the new-member onboarding, books classes and keeps members showing up — so your trainers can train people, not chase them.

Example scenario

A new lead clicks your Instagram ad on Sunday

A new lead clicks your Sunday Instagram ad. Otomate opens WhatsApp, books them into Tuesday's 6am trial class, sends parking and what-to-bring info, follows up after the session, and offers them a month-to-month sign-up. Your manager opens Monday with three trials already on the diary instead of three names on a form.

Questions, answered.
