Frequently Asked Questions

How long does setup take? Most gym owners deploy the template in 48 hours. Initial integration (Mindbody, Zen Planner, etc.) takes 15-30 minutes. Customization (tiers, policies, branding) takes 1-2 hours. Testing and refinement take another 2-4 hours. Total: 4-8 hours of active work spread across 2 days.

Do I need technical skills or coding experience? No. The template is fully pre-configured. You'll use visual editors and dropdown menus to customize tiers, policies, and messaging. No code required. If you can use Mindbody or Zen Planner, you can deploy this template.

What if my gym uses a different membership platform? The template supports 15+ platforms (Mindbody, Zen Planner, Glofox, ClubReady, WellnessLiving, etc.). If your platform has an API, we can integrate it. Professional and Business plans include custom integration assistance. Contact our team for a platform compatibility check.

How secure is member data? All member data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). OAuth 2.1 authentication prevents unauthorized access. We're HIPAA-compliant for health data (if applicable). Payment information is never stored—it's tokenized through Stripe or your payment processor. Full audit logs track all data access.

Can members access this through the ChatGPT app on their phone? Yes. Members can access your gym's ChatGPT app through:

ChatGPT mobile app (iOS/Android)
ChatGPT web interface (chatgpt.com)
Your standalone web portal (custom domain)
Embedded widget on your gym website

They use their existing ChatGPT account—no separate login or app download required.

What happens if a member asks something the app can't answer? The app intelligently routes complex or unusual questions to your staff. When it detects a question outside its scope ("Can I bring my dog to the gym?"), it creates a support ticket and notifies staff via email/SMS. The member receives: "Great question! I've forwarded this to our team. You'll hear back within 24 hours."

Can I customize the conversational tone? Yes. Define your brand voice (friendly, professional, motivational, casual) and provide example responses. The AI adapts its tone to match your gym's personality. Professional Plan includes AI optimization that automatically refines responses based on member feedback.

How do I handle multi-location gyms? The template supports unlimited locations. Configure location-specific:

Access permissions by membership tier
Class schedules and amenities
Operating hours
Staff contacts
Perks and partner discounts

Members ask: "Which locations can I access?" and receive personalized results based on their membership tier.

What if I need features not in the template? Professional and Business plans include custom feature development. Common requests:

Personal training session booking
Retail merchandise purchase
Nutrition plan integration
Workout logging and tracking
