For combat sports
White belts do not quit. They just stop showing up.
Fitagentic bolts onto your academy and writes to the student off the mats a week, in their coach’s voice, before they vanish.
14 day free trial. No card required. Keep Mindbody exactly as it is.
What is actually going wrong
Two numbers run a combat gym, and neither one is on your billing report.
Everyone knows the beginner curve is brutal. The second number, sitting in an email export, is worth more.
The two numbers
Every dot is someone who gave you their email.
You watch the lit dots. The business is in the rest: trial weeks, people who came twice, anyone still opening your emails.
The people who came twice.
They got tapped by everybody, then had a busy week. No complaint, no cancellation. The billing report shows it a month late.
New members coached through their first weeks: 87 percent still training at six months, against 60 percent for members left alone after a one hour orientation. Dr. Paul Bedford, retention study of about 1,000 new members.
The list nobody works.
Years of trial weeks sit in an export nobody opens. They walked through your door once. Nobody has time to work them.
How an academy runs it
The first eight weeks, and who is watching them.
One new student, from trial booking to first stripe. Fitagentic does the parts that depend on a coach remembering.
-
01 / Day 0
They book a trial, and they are frightened.
Nobody walks in relaxed. Six questions before the mat: what they want, what they have done, what hurts, how many nights.
- One funnel per program: gi intro, no gi block, strength add on.
- The coach sees their answers on day one, not just a name on a waiver.
Six questions, before they pay. The ones your head coach would ask anyway. -
02 / Day 1
A named coach the moment they pay, not a welcome desk.
When payment clears, they get a named coach and a squad. No white belt is a member on paper and nobody’s responsibility.
- A first week beginner is not programmed like a purple belt.
- The handoff from pre payment to their coach happens automatically.
-
03 / Week 2
They get tapped by everybody, and they go quiet.
A student comes three times, then has a busy week. Three quiet days puts them on your coach’s morning list, message drafted.
- Each coach picks: draft nothing, draft and I send, or send inside limits I set.
- Every message sent, drafted or skipped is logged, so you can read what your academy said.
Every student, assigned to a named coach. Watch and At risk are the students about to disappear. -
04 / Week 4
A tweaked knee. This one goes to a human, always.
Injury is the weather in a combat gym. It goes to a person, by rule. The AI never answers or triages it.
- Injury, pain, billing, cancellations and real frustration go to a human, every time.
- Instead, the AI makes sure a person notices.
What it never handles alone. -
05 / Week 8
First stripe. The most under used moment you own.
Most academies give a stripe a fist bump. Here the coach marks it and a message goes out in that coach’s voice.
- Milestones, quiet streaks and comebacks are switches, not somebody’s memory.
- The student who feels seen in week eight is the one still training in year two.
The offer that fits this sport
Move better, tap fresher, stay off the injury shelf.
Grapplers will not buy a second membership. They will buy what keeps them training. Everybody on your mat is nursing something.
Sold to the list, not to the mat.
About a hundred train. The list is many times that: people who got hurt or got busy and still want to move well.
- Fitagentic writes the offer, builds the page and runs the campaign by email and text.
- A real plan with real progression, on their phone, not a PDF of stretches.
- A lapsed student paying for mobility is a student back in touch.
The economics
Revenue off a list that was doing nothing.
Fitagentic sells a $19.99 per month coaching membership. You keep $10 of every one, for as long as that member stays subscribed.
At 20 coaching members, the $199 subscription is already covered.
Charged through your own Stripe, under your academy’s name.
Your membership dues carry no share at all.
The full model is on the pricing page.
Bolt on, no switching
Your academy does not move anywhere.
Nobody wants to rebuild a class schedule and a billing history. Fitagentic sits on top of what you already run.
Mindbody, and your schedule
Booking, check in and billing stay where they are. Nothing migrates.
Your membership dues
All of them. Fitagentic takes no share and never holds your money.
Your coaches, your curriculum
The AI writes in your coaches’ voices. It does not have opinions about your syllabus.
The judgment calls
Injury, billing and cancellations route to a person. That is a rule, not a setting.
What it replaces
Price it against the person, not against your software bill.
This is front desk work: answer trial inquiries, chase quiet students, work the old list, check in after an injury.
Commission only closers run about $600 a month, part time front desk staff about $2,145. Each goes home at six. What this costs.
Good questions
What academy owners ask first.
We run on Mindbody. Do we have to leave it?
No. Fitagentic bolts on. Keep Mindbody for scheduling, check in and billing, exactly as it is. Fitagentic adds the funnel, the campaigns to your list, the intake, the plan and the follow up. Nothing migrates.
Is the AI going to talk to my students about technique?
It writes the messages your coaches have no time for: the check in, the milestone, the comeback, in that coach’s voice. Each coach decides whether it drafts or sends inside limits they set. Your instruction stays yours.
What happens when somebody gets hurt?
It goes to a person. Injury and pain sit on the escalation list with billing, cancellations and real frustration, and no setting overrides it. It also flags the student who stopped coming after a knee tweak.
Our email list is huge but most of it is cold. Is that worth anything?
Yes, and almost nobody works it. They already walked through your door once. Fitagentic writes and runs the campaign, and a $19.99 per month mobility plan is an easier yes than a full membership.
Does this work for muay thai and MMA as well as jiu jitsu?
Yes. Combat sports share the pattern: a hard beginner curve, a big cold list, injuries that quietly end memberships. The funnel and intake are built from your own site, so a striking gym gets striking language.
What does it cost?
$199 per month, everything included, no contract, and a 14 day free trial with no card. Fitagentic sells a $19.99 per month coaching membership to your students and keeps half. Your membership dues are never touched.
The ones you lose never say they are leaving.
Paste your website and see the funnel it builds. $199 per month, everything in, no card to start.
