The best AI receptionists for gyms and fitness studios
GreetKeeper is our product, and it ranks first for gyms and studios on the method below. It books the tour or trial class while the prospect is still on the phone. It also answers membership questions from your own price list, on every plan from $49 for 200 calls.
Your phone rings hardest at 6am and 6pm, exactly when your front desk is checking members in and your coaches are on the floor. Many of those callers are prospects asking about memberships. One sent to voicemail may have joined somewhere else by the time you ring back.
Goodcall counts unique customers at $79 for 100, which suits members who ring often. Rosie starts at $49 for 250 minutes with booking on its $149 plan, and Dialzara at $29 for 60 minutes.
Smith.ai adds a human team behind its AI from $150 for Pro. Posh staffs human receptionists from $65 with every minute billed at $2.30.
How this was put together
Disclosure: GreetKeeper is our product. We compared six vendors in September 2026 for independent gyms, boutique studios and small fitness chains. Each rival's figures were read on its own pricing page that month.
What we compared
- Whether a tour, trial class or intro session can be booked during the call.
- Whether the assistant answers membership and price questions from your own list.
- Whether calls at the 6am and 6pm peaks are all answered at once.
- What a month of prospect and member calls costs on the published plans.

How a gym or studio should choose
Look at when your calls land. If most come in the hour around your first and last classes, you need every call answered at once. GreetKeeper answers calls that arrive together at the same time, so the fourth prospect at 6pm gets the same answer as the first.
Next, decide what the call should end with. For a prospect that's a booked tour or trial class. GreetKeeper books it into Google Calendar or Outlook and reads the details back. After the call the prospect gets one text with the booking confirmation.
Then handle the member calls. Freezes, billing questions and cancellations belong with your manager. Write a transfer rule for them, and GreetKeeper puts those callers through or texts the manager their details.
Our own pricing, in full
Including the rate after the allowance, which is the number most of this list leaves off.
| Plan | Monthly | Calls included | After that |
|---|---|---|---|
| StarterFor a single location taking calls one line at a time. | $49 | 200 | $0.45 per call |
| ProfessionalBooking, routing and transfers included, not an add-on. | $149 | 750 | $0.35 per call |
| ScaleFor busy phones and longer opening hours. | $349 | 2,000 | $0.25 per call |
The short version
- Booking is included on every tier. Rosie keeps booking and live transfer behind its $149 plan.
- The overage rate is on the pricing page. Rosie, Ruby, Slang and AnswerConnect do not publish theirs.
- Calls are counted, not minutes, so a long useful conversation costs the same as a short one.
