One Year of Keepme Antares: The AI Sales Agent for Gyms That’s Changing Fitness Sales Forever

Twelve months ago, we launched Keepme Antares with one goal: to give fitness operators an AI Sales Agent for gyms that could work every lead, on every channel, 24/7 - and do it with the speed, consistency, and follow-through that traditional sales teams can’t match.

One year later, we can look back at 12 months breakthroughs, measurable results, and fitness industry-first research that has reshaped how operators think about AI lead generation for fitness.

We’ve Proven That AI Sales Agents Deliver Real, Measurable Growth

In its first year, Antares has operated at a scale and performance level rarely seen in the fitness industry.

These numbers aren’t just impressive - they prove that AI for gym sales can completely rewire the economics of member acquisition.

    1.6M conversations handled
    Globally across 1800 different clubs
    450k conversations outside business hours
    550k new leads generated through AI sales engagement
    130k booked tours & trials
    That's just 4 leads per 1 booking vs the pre-Antares industry average of 15
    24% of bookings made out of hours
    That's 1 in 4 leads that would have been left to go cold, or get snapped up by a more responsive competitor over night
    +185% increase in membership sales
    As reported by our customers

We’ve Designed Antares to Fix the Funnel Before Overhauling Your Tech Stack, Scaling Spend or Adding Team Members

In Year One, Antares has been deployed by operators to address the root causes of lost sales:

  • Engaging every lead instantly on webchat, WhatsApp, SMS, Facebook, Instagram, voice, and email

  • Booking tours and trials directly into CRM calendars

  • Re-engaging cold leads and reducing no-shows with automated rescheduling

  • Operating 24/7, in every language, with no missed opportunities

The results?.....

We’ve Led Global Research to Expose Sales Funnel Leaks

In Year One, we didn’t just build AI technology, we investigated why so many gym sales funnels underperform, conducting multiple international studies to expose the biggest revenue leaks:

The insight was consistent: Leads aren’t the problem - funnel leakage is.

We’ve Shown Operators Why Acting Early on AI Delivers Compounding Returns

As our CEO & Founder Ian Mullane explains in Implementing AI Sales Agents: A Practical Guide for Fitness Operators Ready to Grow, the operators seeing the biggest wins are those who moved first.

In his articles Your AI Workers Get Smarter Every Quarter and AI Workers vs Software Sprawl, Ian makes it clear: AI sales agents don’t plateau — they get better over time. Every quarter you delay is a quarter your competitors’ AI is learning, optimising, and pulling further ahead.
