Membership
Tours and membership questions without tying up the front desk.
Gyms answer the same questions all day: tours, class times, freeze policy, personal-training intros. EXCEL handles the approved list and books a tour when the calendar allows. Discounts and hardship exceptions stay with people.
Book the tour even when the front desk is on the floor.

After-hours membership FAQs
Billing questions that need a person
Hypothetical: evening tour request
Illustrative. Not a membership contract.
Do you have childcare, and can I tour after work tomorrow?
I can share the approved childcare hours and request a tour. What time after 5, and have you visited before?
A freeze or cancel request follows policy wording you approve, or routes to a manager. The agent does not invent a promo.
Nights, weekends, and overflow
Website chatters calling after seeing class times Overflow and nights use the same knowledge as daytime — It should not invent an answer outside approved knowledge.

Questions for this industry
Will it negotiate dues?
No. It can quote approved published rates and book a tour.
How would it handle a “membership pricing” call?
Using your workflow: Prospect vs member → tour vs class vs billing. It should not invent an answer outside approved knowledge.
Can it answer after hours for a gym?
After-hours coverage is a typical build. Example from this trade: Website chatters calling after seeing class times. You decide what is urgent enough to page someone.
Can it help with tours?
It can always collect a complete request. Live booking happens when a calendar or scheduling system can be securely connected. Rules for tours and intro sessions are part of the build.
What does it ask before routing a gym lead?
You define the list. Typical fields in this catalog: Goal (optional), Preferred time for a tour. Unqualified work can still be treated politely.
Does this replace the people at a gym?
No. It covers overflow, after hours, and the questions you already answer the same way. Judgment, exceptions, and sensitive conversations stay with people.
Where do Gyms see pricing?
EXCEL publishes Essential, Professional, and Custom plans on the pricing page. Fit depends on workflows, usage, and integrations — scoped in a consultation, not guessed here.
The desk should be greeting members, not repeating class times into a phone.
