Basic Fit - Fitbuddies

Basic-Fit, Europe’s largest fitness chain, approached us with a fundamental industry problem: retention. Data indicates a critical drop-off point for new gym members between the fourth and sixth week of training.

The challenge was not a lack of equipment or facilities, but a lack of motivation. The resistance to fitness is often mental rather than physical. Basic-Fit needed a digital solution to make sports lower-threshold and more accessible, ensuring members feel supported rather than judged.

The Solution: AI Agents with Empathy

In collaboration with our technical partner A.I.O., we conceptualized and realized The Fitbuddies: a suite of digital AI agents integrated directly into the Basic-Fit app.

Moving beyond standard chatbots, we designed these agents to function as genuine sports companions. They analyze user data and interaction history to offer personalized schedules, tips, and motivational nudges at the exact moments a user is likely to quit.

Dutch members embraced them fast: 42.5% of active app users tried the Fitbuddies, and 56% of them came back for more.

Creative Strategy: 5 Personalities, 1 Goal

To ensure every user feels understood, we moved away from a "one-size-fits-all" approach. We developed five distinct AI personalities, allowing users to choose the coach that aligns with their specific emotional and physical needs.

The Impact: Inclusive Innovation

A core pillar of this project was inclusivity. Technology should open doors, not close them. Through the "Strive" persona and the underlying AI architecture, the Fitbuddies offer adapted training plans for people with disabilities, keeping Basic-Fit accessible to everyone, regardless of physical ability.

And it works: Fitbuddy users show 42.2% lower churn, previously inactive members got moving again at nearly four times the rate of non-users, and repeat users open the app 35% more often and track their progress 27% more. On the back of these results, Basic-Fit is taking the Fitbuddies international.

Lisa TUI - Holidayhelper

Travel retail faces a unique bottleneck: high-complexity consultations that take time. During peak hours, customers face wait times, and highly skilled travel advisors spend the first portion of every meeting collecting basic data rather than crafting experiences.

TUI Netherlands challenged us to elevate the service level in their physical shops. The goal was to support advisors during busy moments and modernize the intake process without losing the personal touch that defines their brand.

SPAR - AI Workflow

SPAR faced a growing issue with the scalability of their visual marketing. The traditional reliance on physical photoshoots was proving to be a drain on both time and budget. Organizing shoot days involved expensive logistics, from hiring models to managing crews, and the results were often limited by uncontrollable factors like weather and daylight. They needed a more efficient way to produce high-quality imagery on demand without the substantial overhead of traditional production.
