Training guidance
People can discuss goals, experience, available equipment and preferred routines, then continue refining the answer instead of accepting a generic plan designed for everyone.
Retoba case study · Fitness conversational AI
The gym never closes. Neither does the conversation. Now at the heart of the GYM24 website, this 24/7 digital fitness ambassador helps people instantly, relieves the team and turns every exchange into insight the club can act on.
Project overview
GYM24 is built around permanent access: a fitness centre open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Retoba extended that promise beyond the gym floor by creating an AI trainer and digital ambassador that is ready whenever a question, goal or excuse appears.
GYM24 AI Trainer helps people explore training, nutrition, recovery, motivation and the club's services through natural conversation. It does not speak like an instruction manual. It combines useful guidance with a quick, humorous personality designed to feel unmistakably GYM24.
At the same time, it answers recurring questions about memberships, prices, access, opening hours and services. That reduces repetitive work for GYM24 staff and gives the team more time to focus on members, coaching and the experience inside the club.
Central website experience
GYM24 AI Trainer has become one of the central elements of the GYM24 website. Instead of waiting behind a small support icon, the ambassador appears as a prominent, welcoming conversational experience: visible, approachable and ready to help from the moment a visitor arrives.
The integration turns the website from a place people browse into a place that responds. Visitors can immediately ask what matters to them, while GYM24 can serve more people at once without placing every repeated question on its team.
The experience
People can discuss goals, experience, available equipment and preferred routines, then continue refining the answer instead of accepting a generic plan designed for everyone.
Weight loss, strength, mobility, consistency and motivation become practical conversations shaped around what the user wants to achieve next.
Questions about prices, memberships, opening hours, group classes and personal training are answered in context, with direct routes to relevant GYM24 information.
Humour makes the experience approachable, but the character has a job to do: keep the conversation useful, motivating and connected to the GYM24 brand.
That practical use is now visible at scale: GYM24 AI Trainer has generated more than 10,000 personalised workouts shaped around individual goals, experience and preferences.
Retoba approach
Retoba combined GYM24's proprietary content, service information and brand character with advanced prompt engineering and conversational safeguards. The system is designed to ask relevant questions as the conversation develops, stay focused on fitness and healthy living, and connect the user with professional help when a request moves beyond appropriate AI guidance.
The result is more than an automated FAQ. It is a recognisable conversational character: part coach, part motivator, part club expert and part comedian. GYM24's energy is carried into every interaction without losing the purpose behind it.
Conversation intelligence
Retoba PulseDialog analysis turns thousands of natural conversations into a live map of user needs. People ask for workout programmes, exercise guidance, support with weight loss, nutrition and motivation. They also ask about prices, memberships, personal training, classes and access. The same interface supports the fitness journey and the customer journey.
These conversations create valuable data gathered directly from customers: unfiltered signals about interests, questions, barriers and intent. GYM24 can use those insights to improve its offer, services, communication and the overall club experience.
Recurring goals and interests show which memberships, programmes and training services deserve greater attention or development.
Repeated questions and friction points reveal where the customer journey, information and staff support can become clearer and faster.
Every voluntary question adds context that anonymous traffic statistics cannot provide: what people want, why it matters and what may stop them.
Documented impact
With 73% of questions developing into a discussion, the AI ambassador is more than a service channel. It is a continuous source of intelligence gathered directly from customers that helps GYM24 make its offer, services and communication more relevant while reducing the volume of routine questions handled by staff.

Industry signal
Independent media presented GYM24 AI Trainer as Slovenia's first personal fitness trainer powered by artificial intelligence. The project demonstrated a new model for fitness communication: expertise that is always available, a brand personality people remember and a conversation that can continue long after the first question.
