The AI phone receptionist for yoga & Pilates studios.

You are teaching, and a phone ringing through the final relaxation helps nobody. Ringmere answers, tells the caller how many places are left in the class they want, books them in, and asks the questions a teacher needs before a first class.

The missed-call problem

Sound familiar?

  • Back-to-back classes with nobody on the desk
  • Beginners who ring to ask if they are ready and never hear back
  • A full reformer class and a half-empty mat class on the same evening

Every one of those is a booking walking to a competitor. Ringmere answers before it does.

How Ringmere helps yoga & pilates studios

Answer, book, and hand you the rest.

Answers your calls, 24/7

First-ring pickup, evenings and weekends included, so callers get a real answer instead of voicemail.

Books class places and private sessions

Offers your class times, says how many places are left, and books private sessions into the right teacher’s diary.

Escalates what matters

Urgent, clinical or unhappy callers go to your team immediately, with full context.

It answers messages too: on Growth and Pro, customers can WhatsApp or text your business and the same receptionist replies, books and takes orders.

Call by call

Every call a yoga or Pilates studio gets.

A studio sells places in a room, a few at a time, and most of its calls arrive while a teacher is teaching. This is what Ringmere does with them.

The callWhat Ringmere does
“Is there space in Saturday’s reformer class?”Checks the places left in that class, books one, and says how many remain. If it is full, it offers the next class with room.
A complete beginner who is nervous about joiningExplains your beginners’ options from what you write, asks their experience level, and books the right class or workshop.
A pregnant caller, or someone with a bad backNoted for the teacher, never assessed. Your policy is read out as you wrote it, and anything else goes to a person.
Class pass prices, mat hire and what to bringAnswered from what you approve. Payment stays with you.
A private one-to-one, or a small group who want their own classBooked into the teacher’s diary as a private session, or taken as an enquiry if you price groups individually.
Cancelling a class placeHandled on the call within your cancellation rules, which frees the place for someone else.

An example call

Written to show how a call goes, using sample services and prices; not a recording.

Caller: Hi, is there any room in the reformer class on Saturday morning?

Ringmere: Yes, the 9:30am reformer Pilates class has two places left. It’s 50 minutes and £18. Have you done reformer before?

Caller: A little, at another studio. I’m about four months pregnant, is that okay?

Ringmere: Thanks for telling me. The studio asks pregnant clients to speak to a teacher before their first reformer class, so I’ll book your place with a note and pass your number to the teacher. Is that okay?

Caller: Yes, please.

Ringmere: Lovely. Can I take your name?

Caller: Anna Webb.

Ringmere: Thanks, Anna. You’re booked into reformer Pilates on Saturday at 9:30am, and the teacher has your message.

Questions from yoga & Pilates studios

Good to know.

Does it know how many reformers or mats are free?
If you tell it how many places each class has. Give a class its places per slot and its weekly class times, and Ringmere offers those times only, says how many places remain, and stops offering a class once it is full. A caller can book a place for a friend on the same call.
What does it ask a beginner?
Which class they want, their experience level, and whether they are pregnant or recently injured, saved with the booking for the teacher. It does not judge whether a class is right for them; if your policy is that pregnant clients join a pregnancy class, it says exactly that.
Can it sell class passes or memberships?
No. It explains your passes and memberships as you have written them and takes the details for your team, because Ringmere does not take payment on the phone. If clients pay at the door or online, it tells them so.
We already use a class booking app. Does it connect?
Not directly. Ringmere books into its own built-in diary, Google Calendar or Outlook, not into a studio booking app. Studios whose classes live in an app use it to answer questions, point callers to the app and take messages, and bookings can be sent to your own system by webhook.
Can a client book a private session with a particular teacher?
Yes, within that teacher’s hours. Diaries for more than one teacher are on Growth and Pro.
What does an AI receptionist cost for a yoga or Pilates studio?
Ringmere is £49 a month on Starter, with 150 call minutes and a UK number included, £99 on Growth and £249 on Pro, each with a 7-day free trial. For scale, a studio missing five calls a week, two of which would have turned into a £90 class pack, has over £700 a month at stake. Your own numbers will differ.
What should a studio’s AI receptionist never do?
Tell a caller a class is safe during pregnancy or with an injury, suggest how to modify a pose, or take payment. Those questions go to your teachers with the caller’s details.
Is Ringmere an answering service for yoga & Pilates studios?
Yes, and a virtual receptionist too. Like an answering service, it picks up your calls 24/7 under your business name. Like a virtual receptionist, it answers questions, takes messages and books appointments straight into your diary. Because it is an AI receptionist it costs from £49 a month, never puts a caller on hold, and on Growth and Pro replies on WhatsApp and text as well.
