Incoming Call...

New Climber

"Hi, I'm interested in a belay class. Do you have any spots open this week?"

"Yes! We have spots in our intro belay class Thursday at 6 PM. I can book you in right now!"

The Problem

ROCK CLIMBING GYMS
MISS TOO MANY CLIMBERS

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.

You Miss Calls During Peak Climbing Hours

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.

The Cost
$840/month
Lost per missed membership

Your Front Desk Is Drowning in Calls

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.

The Cost
50+ calls/day
Per climbing gym location

Intro Classes No-Show and You Lose Them Forever

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.
