ABC Fitness, the leading technology provider for fitness businesses globally, has acquired Replify, an agentic artificial intelligence platform designed to automate member and prospect communications through virtual AI agents. This strategic move advances the intelligence layer of ABC's existing operating system for gyms, studios, and health clubs.
ABC Fitness' acquisition integrates Replify's capabilities — which include AI reception, lead capture and qualification, tour booking, class scheduling support, missed-call follow-up, and outbound engagement across voice, text, email, and chat — directly into the workflows fitness operators already use daily. The development is expected to enable ABC Fitness clients to transition from reactive workflows to proactive, always-on member engagement.
By deploying virtual AI agents that work around the clock, fitness businesses can capture leads in real time, qualify interest, support booking, and maintain consistent follow-up without burdening their teams with manual administrative work.
