The fitness studio playbook

Fill classes from your feed, answer trial questions instantly, and keep members posting about you.

Sep 9, 20262 min read

Gyms, yoga and pilates studios and personal trainers sell a habit, and the first step is usually a DM asking about a trial. This playbook sets AeroReply up to answer those in minutes, keep the class schedule in front of people, and capture interest from every post.

At a glance

  • Who it's for: Gyms, yoga and pilates studios, martial arts clubs and personal trainers.
  • Channels: Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube.
  • Team: Owners and coaches posting between sessions.
  • Setup time: About an hour.
  • You'll use: AI Autopilot, comment-to-DM with email capture, Inbox, Link in Bio.

The challenge

Coaching is the job, so posting happens in gaps. The feed goes quiet in busy weeks, and trial questions sit unanswered until the evening.

  • Trial and pricing questions arriving during classes.
  • Class schedules and challenges that need posting every week.
  • Interested people who comment once and are never heard from again.

Step 1: Let AI draft the weekly posts

  3. Turn on Save captured leads to Audience

Every trial request now becomes a contact you can follow up with.

Step 3: Answer trial questions fast

Step 4: Put the timetable in your bio

Create a Link in Bio page with your timetable, trial signup and location, and add it to every bio.
