Meet Ember - The Antares Retention Agent

Spot Who’s Drifting. Keep Them Coming Back.

The Antares retention agent, Ember, notices when a member’s habits start to change, reaches out before they decide to leave, and has a real conversation when someone asks to cancel. More members stay, and you finally see why the others go.

What Ember Does To Spot And Save Members

Spots Risk Early

Ember sees a member slip into amber on the Keepme Score, often weeks before they’d think about cancelling.

Steps In Before They Decide

Ember checks in on WhatsApp, in-app or at check-in. When Marley mentioned moving house, Ember moved her home club instead of losing her.

Saves Members At The Cancellation Step

When James said his membership was too expensive, Ember offered off-peak and weekend options instead of a cancellation form.

Two Layers Of Retention, Working Together

Most operators only get one chance to keep a member: the cancellation form. Ember gives you two, and each one makes the other stronger.

Layer 1: Keep Members Engaged

Ember works upstream, reaching members while their behaviour is still shifting and before they’ve made up their mind.

    Ember can:

  • Check in when visits start to drop
  • Reach members on WhatsApp, in-app or at check-in
  • Suggest the right next step for each member
  • Flag high-risk members to your team

Layer 2: Save Members Who Ask To Leave

When a member does ask to cancel, Ember has a real conversation, learns why, and offers the alternative most likely to keep them.

    Ember can offer:

  • Membership freezes
  • Cheaper or off-peak tiers
  • A switch to a more convenient club
  • Discounts or concessions you’ve approved

How Ember Turns A Cancellation Into A Conversation

A cancellation request doesn’t have to end with a form. Here’s what happens when a member asks to leave.

Step 1: The Member Asks To Cancel

Step 1: The Member Asks To Cancel

On WhatsApp, in-app or any channel you’ve switched on.

Step 2: Ember Checks Who They Are

Step 2: Ember Checks Who They Are

It confirms the member’s details and looks at their history and Keepme Score.

Step 3: Ember Asks Why, And Listens

Step 3: Ember Asks Why, And Listens

It captures the reason in the member’s own words, like “too expensive”.

Step 4: Ember Offers The Right Alternative

Step 4: Ember Offers The Right Alternative

A cheaper tier, a freeze or a closer club. If they still want to go, Ember processes it cleanly.

You Decide What Ember Can Offer

Ember follows the same guardrails as every Antares AI agent. You set the offers, the limits and the handover rules. Read how Antares keeps you in control.

Offers

Only Approved Offers

Ember only offers the freezes, tiers, club switches and discounts you approve, within your limits.

Handover

Your Team Steps In

You decide which conversations go to a person, and which person, so the right team member steps in.

Fairness

Easy To Cancel, Always

Members can always cancel. If saving isn’t the right outcome, Ember processes it cleanly, to your rules.

Records

Every Chat Is Recorded

Every Ember conversation is reviewable and auditable, with data flowing straight back into your CRM.

The Maths

What Saving One In Ten Cancellations Is Worth

Cancellation saves pay back fast, and you can measure every one. Try your own numbers to see what Ember could protect through cancellation saves alone.

The example uses a 10% save rate, a $50 average monthly fee, and a saved member staying six more months.

Antares - One Platform, All Agents Included

Ember runs on the same Antares platform as the other four agents, sharing the same knowledge base, brand voice, policies and integrations, so there’s no separate cancellation system to manage.

Every Member Has A Score. Ember Knows What To Do With It.

The Keepme Score is a 0 to 100 number that reflects each member’s relationship with your business. It’s generated by Pulse , the intelligence layer underneath Antares, and updates as behaviour changes. Ember uses it to decide who to contact, when and how.

Green

Active and engaged. Ember leaves them to enjoy their membership and doesn’t get in the way.

Amber

Starting to drift. This is when a timely, personal check-in makes the biggest difference.

Red

Already pulling away. Ember takes extra care and makes sure your team knows straight away.

Ember is the Antares retention agent. It spots members at risk of leaving, reaches out at the right moment, and has a real conversation when a member asks to cancel.

Through the Keepme Score, a 0 to 100 score generated by Pulse from your member data. It updates as behaviour changes, so Ember can step in while a member is still deciding.

WhatsApp, in-app or at check-in. You choose which channels Ember uses at each Keepme Score band.

Only what you approve. That can include freezes, tier changes, club switches, discounts and concessions, all within limits you set.

Yes, always. If saving isn’t the right outcome, Ember processes the cancellation cleanly, following the rules you set.

No. Ember shares the same knowledge base, brand voice, policies and integrations as every other Antares agent.

Why members really leave, in their own words, which offers work, and whether a reason is a one-off or a pattern across your clubs.

Antares goes from setup to live in 20 days, with every journey tested before a member hears from Ember.

What Fitness Operators Are Saying About Antares

Hatim - Gymbox - great system

Had my first interactions with Keepme in Gymbox this week and I’m already impressed. Super easy to use, smooth to manage, and it really adds value for the gyms. Excited to explore it more - great system 👌

Hatim Al Abbadi
Senior General Manager - Gymbox
Inspire Kuwait - antares

Very impressed with the service as much as the system. The early metrics are incredibly promising...lead-to-tour at 68% already and almost 50% of tours booked out of hours. Things you love to see!

coral leisure - ciaran murtagh - sale day

We knew that on sale day, hesitation can build quickly if people don't get answers straight away. Pete helped by stepping in instantly, making things clear, and guiding customers straight to the app while their intent was still high.

It feels aligned with a shared goal: creating a frictionless, high-quality experience that ultimately strengthens real human connection. It is early, but the future with ‘Vicky’ looks very promising.
