Troy, the fitness receptionist
Fitness

Meet Troy, your fitness receptionist.

Troy answers the number you forward, takes the caller's name, number and what they need — in the words a gym or studio actually uses — and writes one sentence on the record. From $49 a month, on the full EngageSuite360 CRM shaped for fitness.

How Troy answers
Troy saysThanks for calling your business, this is Troy. I'll take your name, number and a note for the team.

Then Troy listens. Short sentences, one question at a time, the number read back once, and what happens next: you call back.

What callers usually need

Troy sorts every call into the words your trade uses

That word is in the sentence Troy writes, so your callback list reads like a fitness desk, not a voicemail box.

Why every call matters in fitness

The call you miss is the one that goes elsewhere

A membership inquiry can sit a while before anyone sees it, and someone ready to join today signs up wherever they get answered first. Troy answers that call, every time, and you decide what happens next.

By the numbers: In a 2025 secret-shop study of 105 US gyms and studios, 39% of prospective members who called during business hours never spoke with a person. Source: Replify (fitness sales software vendor), Fitness Industry Secret Shop Report, 2025.

The record

What is on the CRM after a call

One sentence, on the contactJeff called from (727) 555-1212 — new member inquiry, wants a call back this afternoon.

The caller becomes a contact, the company is matched from the number, and the sentence is emailed to you. No recording, no transcript on the Starter plans — that is the AI Front Desk plan, one rung up, same number, same CRM.

Pricing

How much is an AI receptionist for a fitness business?

From $49 a month. There are three Starter sizes — $49, $149 and $299 a month — and the only thing that changes between them is how many inbound minutes are included; the smallest is 250. Every one of them answers each call, takes the name, the number and what the caller needs, writes one sentence on the record and emails it to you, on the full EngageSuite360 CRM. If you need the calls heard, texted and booked too, the AI Front Desk plans start at $397 a month with unlimited inbound minutes. Annual billing is two months free, and the 7-day trial takes real calls and charges nothing until day 8.

What does Troy say when answering?

"Thanks for calling your business, this is Troy. I'll take your name, number and a note for the team." Then Troy listens, takes the name, the callback number and what they need, reads the number back once, and says you will call back.

What does Troy never do?

Troy never quotes a price or a range, confirms an appointment time, sends a text or an email, transfers the call, or pitches anything. On the Starter plans it is one logged sentence and you call back; the AI Front Desk plans add transcripts, texting and booking.

What lands in my CRM after a fitness call?

A contact (or the one you have), the company when the number matches, and one line on the record that names what they needed — new member inquiry, class schedule, membership change or cancel, personal training, billing question. The same line is emailed to you.

What does the CRM call my members?

Members, with memberships moving through Trial Inquiry, Free Trial Scheduled, Trial Completed, Membership Offered, Member Enrolled, Renewal Due. The EngageSuite360 CRM in every plan is set up for fitness, with classes and check-ins as records of their own.

Why does a missed call cost a fitness business so much?

A membership inquiry can sit a while before anyone sees it, and someone ready to join today signs up wherever they get answered first. Troy answers every call you forward, so that caller reaches someone.
