Is Club Right Missing What Your Fitness Business Actually Needs?
Club Right is a Gym & fitness software platform built for UK gyms & fitness clubs, offering Member management / booking / payments. For gyms, studios, and wellness centers, it covers the operational basics - class scheduling, memberships, and billing.
But member retention depends on engagement, and that's where most studio management tools fall short. Without WhatsApp automation, AI chatbots for instant responses, broadcast messaging for promotions, and a true omnichannel inbox, you're leaving revenue on the table. Whautomate combines studio operations with the communication tools that actually keep members showing up.
Here's how Whautomate and Club Right compare on the features that matter most for fitness and wellness businesses.

Packages & Membership Management

WhatsApp & Omnichannel Member Engagement
Reach members on WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, and Telegram from one inbox. Club Right typically relies on email and in-app notifications.
AI Chatbot for Class Inquiries
Answer questions about schedules, pricing, and availability instantly - even outside business hours - with an AI chatbot on WhatsApp or your website.
Targeted Broadcasts for Retention
Send WhatsApp campaigns to re-engage lapsed members, promote new classes, or announce schedule changes - with advanced segmentation.
Zero WhatsApp Markup

Common Frustrations That Lead Teams to Switch from Club Right
These are the issues that fitness & wellness businesses encounter most often when looking for an alternative.
"Members don't see our emails about class changes."
Schedule changes announced via email go unnoticed. WhatsApp notifications through Whautomate reach members within minutes.
"We can't reach inactive members effectively."
Email win-back campaigns get 15-20% open rates. WhatsApp broadcasts through Whautomate consistently achieve 90%+ open rates for re-engagement.
"Prospects DM us everywhere and we lose track."
Instagram, WhatsApp, and website inquiries scattered across platforms mean lost leads. Whautomate's unified inbox catches every message.
"Our software doesn't help with marketing."
Studio management tools handle operations but not client acquisition or retention marketing. Whautomate adds broadcast messaging, AI chatbot, and drip campaigns.
"We need a booking page that doesn't take a commission."
Marketplace platforms charge per booking or per active member. Whautomate's booking page is included in your subscription - no commissions.
Why Fitness & Wellness Businesses Move to Whautomate
Members Don't Open Emails
Email notifications about class changes, promotions, and renewals go unread. WhatsApp messages get opened within minutes. Whautomate lets you reach members where they actually pay attention.
No WhatsApp Automation for Studios
Club Right focuses on studio operations but doesn't offer WhatsApp-based engagement. Whautomate automates class reminders, membership renewals, and promotional campaigns via WhatsApp.
Can't Handle Client Conversations
Members DM on Instagram, message on WhatsApp, and email - all to the same studio. Without an omnichannel inbox, messages get lost. Whautomate unifies everything.
No AI Chatbot for After-Hours Inquiries
Prospects ask about class times and pricing outside business hours. An AI chatbot on WhatsApp and your website captures these leads automatically.
Marketplace Commissions Eating Margins
Some platforms take a cut of every booking or charge per active member. Whautomate charges a flat subscription with no per-booking or per-member fees.
