Every membership inquiry gets answered, even in the middle of the 6pm rush.

Dialerportal gives gyms a Cloud PBX built around the way a club actually runs: join inquiries that reach a membership advisor instead of a voicemail box, class and PT booking calls handled without pulling someone off the floor, and cancellation saves and win-back campaigns dialed from one list instead of a spreadsheet nobody opens.

What you get

Built for the front desk that has three people waiting and a ringing phone

Queues, booking calls, retention campaigns and multi-club routing on a single system, so a prospect asking about join fees never gets put on hold behind a locker-room key and a towel refund.

Queues that survive the 5 to 8 rush

The hours when the phone rings hardest are the hours your desk staff are scanning members in, selling day passes and pointing people at the studio. A call queue holds the caller with a position announcement and walks the call down a ring group, from the desk to the membership advisor to the GM's cell, so a join inquiry does not die on hold. Nobody hears a busy tone because two people showed up at the counter at once.

An auto-attendant that knows what members call about

Membership and pricing, class and PT booking, billing and freezes, and 24-hour access problems each get their own option in the IVR. New membership inquiries jump the line to whoever can quote a rate and book a tour, while a member asking about a dues date goes somewhere that does not tie up your closer. Business-hours routing swaps the greeting when the desk goes unstaffed overnight.

Class and PT booking without the floor interruption

Bookings, reschedules and waitlist calls stack up while your trainers are mid-session. Route them to a queue that a coordinator clears between classes, and let an AI voice agent take the routine ones: confirming a 6am spin spot, moving a PT slot, telling a caller the Saturday HIIT class is full and offering the next one. Anything that needs a human still transfers to one.

Cancellation saves and win-back campaigns

Members who stopped scanning in three weeks ago are the cheapest people you will ever sell to, and nobody has time to call 400 of them. Load lapsed and canceled member lists into a preview or predictive dialer and let your retention staff work them in a block, with the account record on screen before the call connects. Failed-payment follow-ups run the same way.

Two-way SMS for reminders and waitlists

A member will text back about a class spot they would never return a voicemail for. Send booking confirmations, class cancellation notices, waitlist openings and card-declined reminders over A2P 10DLC registered messaging, and read the replies beside the call history for that member. When a trainer calls out sick, one message clears the roster instead of thirty phone calls.

Every club on one extension list

Port the numbers already printed on your signage, your ads and your membership agreements, and add local DIDs when you open a new site or a toll-free line for corporate and franchise inquiries. Clubs dial each other by extension at no cost, and a caller who wants the downtown location but rang the west-side desk gets transferred, not told to look up another number. When one club is slammed, its queue overflows to a desk that is quiet.

Recordings and dashboards for the sales floor

Record membership calls to hear how your advisors handle the price question, the contract question and the "I just want to look around first" call, then use the good ones to train the next hire. Dashboards show missed calls by hour, how long tour inquiries waited and which win-back lists actually connected. That is how you find out you need a second person on the phone at 5:30, not at 11am.
How it works

From one club line to every location on the same system

Keep the number on your window decal and your Google listing, build the routing around class times and staffed hours, then start working the cancellation list.

01

Port your club numbers

We move the existing lines so members, prospects and your billing company keep reaching you on the number already on your door, your website and your agreements, and add DIDs for any new location.

02

Route around your staffed hours

Build the IVR menu, the ring groups per club and the business-hours rules for open, staffed, 24-hour access and holiday schedules, then set where after-hours calls land instead of ringing an empty desk.

03

Turn on booking and retention calling

Register your SMS sender for A2P 10DLC, write the confirmation and waitlist templates, and load lapsed member and failed-payment lists for the dialer or an AI voice agent to work.

04

Read the numbers and adjust

Check which hours drop the most calls, how many tour inquiries reached an advisor and what the win-back block produced, then move a queue member or shift the campaign to a quieter part of the day.

AI voice agents

The AI voice agent for the calls your desk never gets to

Your front desk is scanning members in, selling day passes and walking a prospect over to the studio. A Dialerportal AI voice agent answers the calls that ring through all of that, 24/7 and in natural conversation, then hands anyone who needs a membership advisor, a coach or the manager straight to one.

Answers the timetable and day pass questions at 6am and 10pm

Callers want to know when the doors open on a Sunday, whether the 6:30 spin class still has spots, what a day pass or a guest pass costs and whether the pool is back in service. The agent answers those in conversation from what you tell it about your club, at the hours when the desk is unstaffed or buried in a check-in line. Each call is logged with what was asked, so you can see what your January callers actually want.

Books tours, trials and free-week passes

A prospect who calls about joining will not come back and fill in a form later. The agent asks what they train for and when they can get in, books the tour or trial slot into the advisor's calendar and confirms it back to them. Contract length, corporate rates and anything it has not been given goes to a membership advisor instead of a guess.

Takes freeze and cancellation requests calmly

Members call to freeze for a deployment, an injury or a summer away, and they call to cancel. The agent takes the request, the dates and the reason, confirms it has been logged and passes it to the membership team to action against that member's agreement. It does not process the cancellation, quote a notice period or invent a save offer, so nobody is told something your contract does not say.

Knows which calls belong to a human

Injuries, medical clearance and program questions go to a coach or the manager, because the agent gives no medical, fitness, billing-dispute or contract advice. A member locked out of the 24-hour door at 1am, or anyone reporting an incident on the floor, is transferred or escalated to the on-call number straight away. Everything it does handle is written to the CRM like any other call, so the opening shift sees the whole night.

What club owners and general managers ask before moving the front desk line to the cloud.

It is a Cloud PBX for fitness clubs that runs over the internet rather than a box behind the front desk. You get an auto-attendant that separates membership, booking, billing and access calls, queues and ring groups so the desk is never the only line, class and PT booking routing, two-way SMS, voicemail-to-email, and a dialer for cancellation saves and win-back lists. Seats start at $19 a month, month to month.

Peak-hour calls fail because one person is doing check-ins, tours and the phone at once. A queue holds callers with a position announcement instead of a busy tone, then rings a group: front desk, membership advisor, then the manager's mobile softphone. Any call still unanswered drops to a mailbox that emails the audio, so the advisor can call the prospect back that evening rather than finding a note the next morning.

Yes. Booking calls route to their own queue so trainers are not pulled off the floor mid-session, and an AI voice agent can take routine ones: confirming a class spot, moving a PT appointment, or telling a caller a session is full. SMS handles confirmations, waitlist openings and last-minute class cancellations, and anything the agent cannot resolve transfers to a person with the call history attached.

Lapsed members, failed payments and cancellation requests all become call lists your retention staff can work in a scheduled block. Preview dialing puts the member record on screen before the call connects; predictive dialing gets through a long lapsed list faster. Calls are recorded so you can hear which save offers land, and every attempt is logged, so nobody gets called twice about the same freeze request.

Yes. Each club keeps its own number, greeting and opening hours while all sites share one extension list, so staff transfer a caller between locations instead of reading out another phone number. If your downtown desk is buried at 6pm, its queue can overflow to a quieter club. Trainers and managers who cover multiple sites take their extension with them on the browser or mobile app.

Hours, not weeks. There is no hardware to install and no cabling: staff answer from a browser tab, a mobile app or the desk phones you already own over SIP trunking. Porting runs in the background while the old line keeps working, so the club never goes dark between classes. Billing is month to month with no contract, and US-based support answers in about 30 seconds on 1-888-488-8138.

The Cloud PBX routes calls to your desk, your advisors and your GM. The AI voice agent covers what those people never reach: the 5:45am caller, the Sunday timetable question, the overflow when the counter is three deep in January. It answers membership, class and day pass questions in conversation, books tours and trials, takes freeze and cancellation requests, and warm transfers anyone who needs a person. It does not replace your desk staff and it does not give medical or contract advice.
