An AI agent detects absences, follows up, and re-engages them over WhatsApp, on its own and in your voice. ## The member who quietly disappeared (and you'd have won back with one message) You have a member who trained religiously. Then they stop showing up. Two weeks. Three. Their membership is still active, but they haven't set foot in the box. Nobody notices until they cancel the payment. By then it's too late — they've already gotten used to not going. The same thing happens with the person who came to the trial class, loved it, said "let me check my week," and never wrote back. Nobody followed up. They cooled off and left. In CrossFit boxes and functional gyms, the biggest money leak isn't acquiring new members. It's the ones you already had and let slip away from lack of follow-up. Re-engaging a member who already knows you costs a fraction of what it takes to land a new one. And almost nobody does it, because doing it by hand — checking who didn't show, messaging each one, remembering who said "let me think about it" — is work your staff never has time for. ### Manual follow-up doesn't scale Think about what doing it right every week would actually take: - Reviewing attendance and spotting who's gone two weeks without coming. - Messaging each one with something that doesn't sound like a collections call. - Re-contacting every trial lead who didn't sign up. - Remembering the dates: whose plan is expiring, who you promised a discount. - Tracking who replied and who didn't, so you don't message twice. No coach does this between classes. Neither does the front desk. So it doesn't get done. The box becomes a leaky bucket: members come in at the top and quietly drain out the bottom. ## The AI agent that follows up and re-engages on its own At Catalizadora we build an AI agent connected to your WhatsApp and your CRM that handles follow-up without you lifting a finger. The agent knows who hasn't shown up. When a member goes quiet for a while, it messages them in your brand's voice: "We've missed you at the box — everything okay? We've got a 7 AM class if you want to come back tomorrow." It's not a cold mass blast. It's a conversation that adapts to the person, and if they reply, the agent brings them back — books the class, handles the excuse, reminds them why they started. It does the same with trial leads who didn't close. Two or three days later it writes: "How did Tuesday's trial feel? If you're in, I'll save you a spot this week." That second touch, which your staff never gets around to, recovers sign-ups you'd written off. And it isn't a one-shot message: if the lead doesn't answer, the agent waits and tries again with a different angle, the way a good salesperson would, until it gets a yes or a clear no. The point is that no member or lead falls through the cracks just because it was a busy week. The agent is the part of your team that never has a busy week. ### What it automates, specifically - **Detects absences.** Spots the member who stopped coming and messages them before they cancel. - **Recovers trial leads.** Delivers the second and third touch to anyone who tried and didn't sign up. - **Re-engages expired plans.** Reminds whoever's month ran out and invites them back. - **Converses, doesn't spam.** Every message is personalized and sounds human, in your tone. - **Logs everything in your CRM.** Who replied, who came back, who's still cold. No spreadsheets. ## The math almost no box does Let's put numbers on it. Imagine a box with 120 members. If 6 quietly leave each month without anyone noticing, in a year you lost 72 members. Even if you recover only a portion with automated follow-up, the impact on your annual revenue is enormous — these are members who'd have stayed months longer with a single timely message. Compare the two ways of doing it: - **By hand:** the staff tries when they can, sends three messages on Monday, forgets the rest of the week. Inconsistent. Most absences are never even spotted. - **With the agent:** every day it reviews who missed class, whose plan is expiring, which lead went cold — and acts. No forgetting, no days off, no one having to remember. The difference isn't effort. It's consistency. Follow-up only works if it's systematic, and a system doesn't get tired or distracted by the 6 PM class. ### The agent is yours, not a rental Unlike membership apps that charge per member every month forever, at Catalizadora **we build the agent once and the code, the data, and the infrastructure are 100% yours.** No retainers, no locked-in licenses. The only recurring cost is the actual operation — hosting and usage — around 200 to 400 dollars a month, with no markup from us. MAGIA Solo costs 4,500 dollars and we deliver it in 15 days: the agent that captures, books, and follows up, with your CRM and your voice. If you have multiple locations or want to integrate it with your billing system, MAGIA Core costs 15,000. ## Stop running a leaky bucket Acquiring new customers is expensive. Keeping the ones you already have is nearly free if you do it in time. The agent turns follow-up — that work you know you should do and never do — into something that just happens, every day, in your box's voice. If you want to see how the agent would re-engage your dormant members, message us and we'll set up a demo on your own WhatsApp. And if you'd rather talk it through, book a call here: https://cal.com/pablo-estrada-hlqaql ## Preguntas frecuentes ### How does the agent know who to message for re-engagement? It connects to your CRM and detects patterns: members who stopped coming, plans about to expire, and trial leads who didn't sign up. It acts on each case every day, without anyone having to remember. ### Do the re-engagement messages feel like spam? No. Each message is personalized and conversational, in your brand's voice. It's not a cold mass blast: if the member replies, the agent continues the conversation, handles the excuse, and books the class to bring them back. ### Doesn't my membership app already do this? Membership apps bill and track attendance, but they don't converse or follow up like a human over WhatsApp. The agent does: it spots the absence and sends a real message that wins the member back before they cancel. ### How much does it cost and who owns the agent? MAGIA Solo costs 4,500 USD, delivered in 15 days. The code, data, and infrastructure are 100% yours: no retainers, no licenses. You only pay the actual operation (hosting and usage), around 200 to 400 USD a month, with no markup from us. ### Does it work alongside capturing new leads? Yes. The same agent captures and books new leads, and also follows up and re-engages existing ones. Everything lands in the same CRM, so you see new members coming in on one side and returning members on the other. --- Source: https://catalizadora.ai/blog/crossfit-box-automated-follow-up-member-re-engagement-ai-agent Author: Pablo Estrada — AI Catalyst, LLC (catalizadora.ai)
