What switches on the moment someone comments

Why switch

From missed DMs to booked results.

The problem

Interest is high. Conversions are low.

Your class video goes viral. Dozens of comments ask "what's the schedule?" or "how much?". But you're teaching a class, not glued to your phone.

By the time you reply, they've Googled a closer gym or signed up elsewhere. Every slow reply is a member you lost to a competitor.

  • Interested people wait hours for a reply
  • Trial leads go cold before booking
  • Front desk can't keep up with DMs
The fix

IGMsg is your always-on front desk.

Set it up once: "Comment TRIAL" - instant DM with a 7-day free pass link. "Comment SCHEDULE" - class times. "Comment PT" - personal training intake form.

  • Reply in 3 seconds, 24/7
  • Hand-off hot leads to your team
  • Never lose a prospective member

FAQ

Fitness-specific questions

Does this work for small gyms with 500 followers?
Absolutely - smaller local gyms often see the best conversion rates because their audiences are already warm. One member paying $89/month makes IGMsg pay for itself for years.
Does it work for group classes and 1:1 training?
Both. Use different keywords for each - "CLASS" sends the group schedule, "PT" opens a 1:1 intake form. You can run several keywords on the same post.
Will the tone feel personal or corporate?
You write every word. Whether you want hype-bro energy or calm, spa-like messaging, the DMs sound exactly how you sound. Use emojis or plain text.
Can I use it for online coaching programs?
Yes. Online fitness coaches are some of our biggest power users - sending app download links, Whoop codes, Trainerize invites, and program checkouts via DM.
Does it integrate with my gym management software?
IGMsg DMs links - so any system with a public URL (Mindbody, Mariana Tek, Zen Planner, Glofox) works out of the box. No custom integration needed.
How long does setup actually take?
About 5 minutes for your first flow. Connect Instagram, pick a post, set a keyword, write the DM, go live. The whole process is designed for gym owners - not developers.
