WhatsApp appointment reminders for gyms: confirmation on every booking, a reminder before the session, from your number. No cost per message.

Confirmation on booking, a reminder before the session, from your number. You don't type a single message.

## One message. And a full session.

- Booked, and the confirmation is already out. As soon as someone has picked session, trainer and time through your link, the WhatsApp with service, date and time goes out. No account, no app, within seconds. The Thursday seven o'clock trial session is confirmed from the first minute.
- Deposit plus reminder. Doubly safe. On the trial session you take a deposit through Stripe, on the small-group class the reminder is enough. Both you set per service. Whoever has paid a deposit and been reminded is on the floor at seven, and the hour doesn't stay empty.
- Booked by phone. Reminded all the same. When the AI phone assistant books a session while you're at the bench, the reminder runs along exactly as it does for every online booking. Confirmation straight away, reminder beforehand, status on the appointment. No channel falls through.
- Your number. Your tone. Your timing. You connect your WhatsApp with a QR code. A week before, 24 hours before, 2 hours before or a time of your own, every message with its own text. Whoever can't make it writes back, straight into your chat. No cost per message.
- Status on every session. For every trainer. In the gym calendar every session shows whether the reminder is out: sent, scheduled, failed. Every trainer sees it on their own appointments. No checking, no rewriting, no sticky note at the front desk.
- Reminds you too. On the watch. If you want, your own phone reminds you before every session, even offline. The next appointment sits on the smartwatch, without hunting for your phone between sets. Web app, app, watch: one account, the same picture.

## Common questions

**Do the messages come from my number or from a stranger's?** From yours. You connect your WhatsApp in the app with a QR code, and your number stays your number. Clients see the gym they know, and whoever can't make it replies straight into your chat instead of calling the front desk.

**When should the reminder for a seven o'clock session go out?** The classic is 24 hours before, the most effective message against forgotten appointments. For the early slot you can add a week before, two hours before or a time of your own the evening before, every reminder switched on and off individually, each with its own text.

**Do I have to type for every session myself?** No. As soon as a session is in the calendar, whether online, through the phone assistant or entered by you, terminio writes. Name, date, time and service it fills in when sending, the rest you word once, the way you talk on the floor.

**What does a WhatsApp appointment reminder cost a gym?** Nothing per message. The Free plan includes five reminders a month, from Pro they are unlimited. No SMS fees, no credit to top up. Pro you can try free for seven days and cancel monthly.

**What happens when someone cancels after the reminder?** Clients cancel through the link in their WhatsApp confirmation. The session opens up again straight away, in a small-group class the place does, and the next person can book. How late cancelling stays free you decide, say 24 hours before, and the rule applies to the deposit too.

**Does this really help against no-shows in a gym?** Every empty session costs anyway: the trainer, the floor, the lost hour at seven. A short WhatsApp appointment reminder beforehand brings most of them back, and clients who are reminded keep turning up. You set it up once, and from then on terminio writes.
