AI setter for personal trainers
An AI setter for personal trainers replies to local DMs about sessions, checks area, schedule and goal, then books a consultation call with people who can actually train at your studio.

Where your leads start the conversation
Most personal trainers get buyers from three places. Each one deserves its own first question.
A keyword on a training Reel
They comment “START” on a client Reel. The flow sends the intro offer, the setter asks their area.
A Messenger ad for your intro pack
A Facebook ad for your intro pack opens Messenger. Ask their area before quoting anything.
A WhatsApp link in your bio
Your link in bio opens WhatsApp. People ask “do you have evening slots?”: ask which days suit them.
Chapter 02Qualify
Ask these before the call
A setter books calls only for people who pass your fit rule. These questions make the rule, one per message.

Not a fit when
Lives too far to train in person and won’t travel. Only wants online programming you don’t sell. Needs hours you’re fully booked in: offer a waitlist or a follow-up date.
Pain and injuries go to you
Recent surgery, ongoing pain, pregnancy or a doctor’s restriction: have the setter hand the conversation to you rather than suggest exercises.

Opener after the intro offer
Right after your flow sends the intro offer.
Sent! Before you pick a time: which part of town are you in? I want to make sure the studio is an easy trip for you.
- Next
- Wait for their area.
- Why it works
- Location decides fit for in-person training, so it comes first.
Days and times
When they’re close enough.
Great, that’s close. Which days and times could you usually train? Early mornings and evenings go first here.
- Next
- Compare their window with the hours you still have.
- Why it works
- A trainer’s calendar is the real limit, so ask before anyone gets excited.
Goal and fit
When their window matches your open hours.
That works. Most of my clients are Replace [ideal client], and my Replace [offer] is built around Replace [result]. Is that close to what you want?
- Next
- Yes: offer the consultation. Different goal: ask what they want instead.
- Why it works
- It checks their goal against your offer before money comes up.
Price and two times
After they say the goal fits.
Perfect. Packs start at Replace [price], and we begin with a short consultation call to plan your first weeks. Is Replace [day] at Replace [time] or Replace [day] at Replace [time] better for you?
- Next
- The setter books the slot they choose on Cal.com, Calendly or iClosed.
- Why it works
- The price is in the open, and two times beat a bare link.
A softer follow-up
When they don’t answer the times.
Hey Replace [first name], no rush on this. Would next week suit you better for a short consultation call? I can send two times.
- Next
- Two follow-ups, then leave the door open.
- Why it works
- A new week gives them an easy way back in.
