For Rock Climbing Gyms
Incoming Call...
New Climber
"Hi, I'm interested in a belay class. Do you have any spots open this week?"
AI Receptionist
"Yes! We have spots in our intro belay class Thursday at 6 PM. I can book you in right now!"
✓ Class Booked • Thu 6 PM
You're losing members every day while your front desk is swamped. Climbers call during peak hours, class spots go unfilled, and your team can't keep up with waiver questions and membership inquiries. There's a better way.
A climber finds your gym online at 7 PM, calls to ask about intro classes and day passes, and gets voicemail because your desk staff is helping someone with gear. By morning, they've already signed up at the gym down the street that answered.
While you're teaching a belay class, five calls come in. Waiver questions, intro class bookings, gear rental inquiries, route setting updates—you can't be everywhere at once. New climbers get frustrated waiting, and you lose signups.
You hold a spot in your intro to bouldering class, prep the instruction space, and show up. They don't. You send one follow-up text that gets ignored. That's it—they're gone. No second chance, no recovery, just an empty class spot and a lost potential member.

Saturday morning, Alex is running errands. She completely forgot about the class. You're at the front desk, see the missed appointment in your CRM, and mark it as "No-Show." That's it. One click. The system takes over from here—you don't have to think about what to do next.

All happening automatically—you're just teaching the class.
Alex just finished the class. She's walking to her car when her phone buzzes. It's a membership sign-up form from Frontdesk Forms—already filled with her name, email, and recommended membership plan.

She just describes the problem, and it's handled.
There's a climbing competition this Saturday. Alex gets notified automatically—email, text, or both, your choice.

A year later, Alex renews. She had a great experience—support was always quick, questions were answered instantly, and she felt connected to the community.
