Class & Trial Booking for Gyms and Studios
Members book trials, classes and personal-training slots on WhatsApp. Renewal nudges and reminders run hands-free so you keep the floor full.
A studio lives or dies by how full each class is, and the maths is unforgiving. A twelve-mat yoga session or a twenty-person spin class has a hard ceiling, and every empty spot is gone the moment the music starts. Yet most gyms and studios still juggle bookings across a front-desk notebook, a WhatsApp group and the odd phone call, which is how classes quietly overfill, a member turns up to a full room, and the trial enquiry that landed at ten at night never gets a reply.
Welqo turns your WhatsApp number into a class desk that never sleeps. Each class carries its own capacity, so once the 7am Hatha fills, the AI stops taking bookings for it and offers the next slot or a place on the waitlist instead, with no double-booked mats. A prospect who messages 'Do you have space in tomorrow's beginner spin? I would like to try it' is booked into a trial in seconds, gets the address and a reminder the night before, and lands on your customer list so nobody follows up from memory. Personal-training requests route to the right trainer's own calendar, so a one-to-one with Priya never collides with the group class she is teaching an hour later.
Memberships and class packs are where studios quietly leak revenue, so Welqo sells prepaid packs, say a ten-class pass, that count down automatically as members book, with the money settling straight into your own account at 0% commission. When a pack is running low or a membership is near its end, an automatic win-back message or a broadcast to a segment of your members brings them back in, and your weekly owner digest shows which classes and trainers are actually filling the floor.

Frequently asked questions
Can I cap how many people book each class?
Yes. Every class has its own capacity. Once a class is full the AI stops taking bookings for it and offers the person the next available class or a spot on the waitlist, so you never end up with more bookings than mats or machines. If someone later cancels, the freed place is offered to the waitlist automatically. Waitlist auto-fill is part of the Front Desk plan.
Can members book a specific trainer for personal training?
Yes. Each trainer has their own calendar, working hours and time-off, so a member can book a one-to-one with the trainer they want and the AI only offers slots that person actually has free. Group classes and personal training run alongside each other without ever clashing.
Can I sell class packs or memberships through it?
On the Front Desk plan (₹2,499 / $39 a month) you can sell prepaid packs, for example a ten-class or monthly pass, that a member pays for once. Each booking draws down one class automatically, and both you and the member can see how many remain. The payment settles directly to your own account (UPI or Razorpay in India — international cards supported) with Welqo taking 0% commission on it.
How do free trials and renewals work?
A first-timer can book a trial straight from WhatsApp or your shareable web booking link, and they are added to your customer list. As memberships or packs run down, automatic win-back messages and broadcasts prompt renewals, so you are not manually chasing lapsed members between classes.
How much does it cost?
Free to start — a shareable web booking page plus AI booking. Paid plans from ₹999 / $15 a month unlock unlimited AI WhatsApp booking and reminders, and the Front Desk plan (₹2,499 / $39) adds no-show recovery, deposits, waitlist backfill and broadcasts.
