Use case · Gyms and studios
A WhatsApp chatbot for gyms that fills your free trials.
Your leads don't ask “what are your service offerings?” They ask “bhai monthly kitni hai, trial milega?” at 10pm, want to know the class timings, and expect a reply before they DM the next gym. NudgeDesk answers all of it, in Hinglish, books the trial, and takes the joining fee over UPI before the moment passes.

The specifics
Built for the questions a gym actually gets.
A generic chatbot chokes on the gym enquiry: the plans have tiers, the trial needs a slot, the timetable changes, and the lead goes cold if nobody replies in the first few minutes. Here is how NudgeDesk handles each one, honestly, without guessing.
Fees and plans, quoted the way you set them
Monthly, quarterly, yearly, with the per-month maths and any joining fee spelled out. It quotes your numbers and never improvises a discount. If a plan detail isn't set, it says it will confirm and hands you the chat. For a business where a wrong quote loses trust, “it won't guess” is the feature.
The free trial, actually booked
It offers your open slots, takes a preferred time, logs the lead, and confirms the session in chat. On WhatsApp it can show live slots through an in-chat form, so “trial milega?” turns into a booked trial instead of a message that slips down the inbox during peak hours.
Class timings, on tap
Grounded on your timetable, it answers which classes run when, HIIT, yoga, Zumba, strength, whether a trainer is on the floor, and what a slot includes. It reads voice notes too, so a member's quick “aaj Zumba hai kya?” still gets a straight answer, day or night.
Joining fee over UPI, and win-back
It sends a native in-chat UPI request for the joining fee, verified by the gateway and never by a screenshot, so the membership locks the moment it clears and you get a ping. When a plan lapses, it can re-engage opted-in members on WhatsApp with an approved reminder. UPI is India-only; elsewhere it sends a payment link.
A real exchange
Enquiry to member, without you touching the phone.
One message asking the monthly fee. A few replies later the trial is booked, the joining fee is paid over UPI, and a new member is starting tomorrow, while you were spotting someone on the bench. Watch it play out.
- Answered in Hinglish, at the lead's pace
- Free trial booked and the lead logged, no follow-up dropped
- Joining fee confirmed by the gateway, not a screenshot

Why gyms keep it on
Less “I'll call you back.” More on the floor.
Answer the fees question the second it lands
The “monthly kitni hai?” at 10pm gets a clear plan breakdown at 10pm. The enquirer doesn't drift to the gym down the road that replied faster.
Turn “just enquiring” into a booked trial
It offers a slot and logs the lead in the same breath, so a curious message becomes a session on the floor instead of a name you meant to call back.
Collect the joining fee before they cool off
A UPI joining fee locks intent while it's hot, verified by the gateway. You wake up to a confirmed member, not a maybe who ghosted after the trial.
Win back lapsed members without cold calls
When a plan expires it can send an approved WhatsApp reminder or a new-batch offer to opted-in members, so renewals happen without your front desk dialling numbers.
Honest about the limits: it won't auto-confirm a payment from a screenshot, and on Instagram it can't re-message an enquirer after 24 hours, so it moves hot leads to WhatsApp, where trial reminders and win-back are allowed.
Gym owner's questions
Straight answers, before you ask.
Can it answer fees and plan questions?
Yes. It quotes your plans exactly as you set them, monthly, quarterly, and yearly, with the per-month maths spelled out, plus any joining fee or offer. It never invents a price. If a plan detail isn't set, it says it will confirm and hands the chat to you rather than guessing.
Can it book a free trial or first session?
Yes. It offers your available slots, takes the enquirer's preferred time, logs the lead, and confirms the booking in chat. On WhatsApp it can connect to live slots through an in-chat form, so “trial milega?” becomes a booked session instead of a message you forget to reply to.
Does it know the class timetable?
Yes. Grounded on your schedule, it answers which classes run when, HIIT, yoga, Zumba, strength, whether a trainer is on the floor, and what a given slot includes. Members and enquirers get the timetable without you repeating it twenty times a day.
Can it collect the joining fee?
In India, yes. It sends a native in-chat UPI request for the joining fee or first instalment, and the payment is confirmed by the gateway, not a screenshot. That authoritative “Paid” signal locks the membership and pings you. Outside India it sends a payment link instead.
Can it win back members whose plans have lapsed?
On WhatsApp, yes. With an opted-in member it can re-engage after the 24-hour window using an approved template, a “your plan expired, come back” or a new-batch offer. On Instagram, re-engagement after 24 hours isn't permitted, so win-back lives on WhatsApp, where follow-up is allowed.
