Automate Your Studio Operations and Reclaim 15+ Hours Every Week
We build custom automation layers between tools like Mindbody, Trainerize, and PTminder so you can focus on client results instead of administrative spreadsheets.
In the personal training industry, administrative friction is the primary barrier to scaling. Studio owners often find themselves trapped in a cycle of manual lead follow-up, session rescheduling, and package tracking. With the average client lifetime value (LTV) ranging from $5,000 to $10,000, a single missed inquiry or a botched rescheduling experience represents a significant revenue leak. Most studios rely on a fragmented stack—using Mindbody for billing, Trainerize for programming, and manual emails for progress updates—creating data silos that lead to churn.
Read Laboratories specializes in connecting these platforms to create a seamless client journey. We automate the 'boring' parts: from the moment a lead hits your Facebook ad to the automated 'low-session' alert when a client’s 10-pack is about to expire. By implementing intelligent triggers, we ensure that no lead is left cold and every trainer's schedule is optimized without manual intervention. This isn't just about saving time; it's about professionalizing the client experience to justify premium $150/hour rates.
Problems We Solve
Lead Leakage and Ghosting
Automate instant SMS and email responses for new inquiries. We ensure every lead is contacted within 2 minutes, preventing them from calling the next studio down the street.
Manual Package Tracking
Eliminate the 'how many sessions do I have left?' conversation. We sync billing data from PTminder or My PT Hub to trigger automated renewal reminders and invoices.
Cancellation and No-Show Chaos
Implement smart 24-hour reminder sequences and automated late-fee billing. Our workflows handle the awkwardness of enforcing policies so you don't have to.
Disconnected Progress Reporting
Automatically aggregate data from wearable tech and Trainerize into monthly progress reports that demonstrate ROI to your clients, increasing retention rates.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you integrate with Mindbody and Trainerize simultaneously?
Yes. We specialize in cross-platform integration, ensuring that when a client buys a package in Mindbody, their profile and training program are automatically updated in Trainerize.
How do you handle late cancellation policies?
We build automated logic that checks the timestamp of a cancellation. If it's within your 24-hour window, the system automatically deducts a session or applies a fee without manual input.
Will this help with trainer retention?
Absolutely. By automating the scheduling and admin tasks for your trainers, they can focus purely on coaching, which reduces burnout and increases their earning potential.
Does this work for studios with multiple locations?
Yes, we build centralized dashboards that allow you to monitor lead conversion, trainer utilization, and revenue across all locations from a single view.
How long does the setup take?
A typical studio automation build-out takes 3 to 5 weeks from initial audit to go-live, including staff training on the new workflows.
