Does an AI receptionist really work? Check it yourself.

Talk to it in a minute

Paste your website below. In under a minute your receptionist is built from your own pages and you can call it in your browser, before you give us an email address.

Read every rule it follows

Nothing is hidden. In your dashboard every rule is written in plain English, and you can change any of them and hear the difference on the next call.

Watch the message land

Ring your own number after it's live. Seconds after you hang up, the summary, the caller's details and the full transcript are in your inbox, and the message is texted to your mobile.

A phone showing the receptionist ringing back after the line dropped

Try this on the demo call

Hang up on it. It rings you back.

Lose signal mid-call, or hang up by accident, and it rings you straight back and carries on where it was. No answer? It leaves a short message. Humans forget to ring back. This doesn't.

The voice

Press play. Would you know it wasn't a person?

It listens while it talks, lets callers interrupt, and answers in the time a person would. Callers can't tell the difference. Press play and hear for yourself.

What does hiring a gym receptionist really cost?

Front desk swamped, phone unanswered

Members queuing to check in, the phone ringing with a new-joiner enquiry, one person at the desk. The enquiry goes to the gym up the road.

Gym reception turns over every few months

It is a first job at a low wage with early starts and late finishes. Every leaver means retraining someone on the membership system and the class list.

The 6pm rush hits the desk and the phone

Members queue to check in and the phone rings with a joiner. The person at the desk picks one, and it is never the caller.

Cancellation calls are awkward and take ages

Someone wants to freeze or cancel. The receptionist has to find the terms, explain the notice period and take the complaints. Meanwhile the phone rings.

What changes with an AI receptionist instead of hiring

Enquiries become tours and tours become members

It explains memberships and prices, books a tour or trial, and texts the details.

Joiners booked on a tour or a trial

It explains the memberships and prices from your website, books a tour or a free trial session, and texts the details and what to bring.

Classes booked by name and time

Spin at 6.30, Pilates on Thursday morning. It checks the class list, books the space in the connected calendar, or sends the request to the team.

Freeze and cancel requests as clean messages

It takes the member's name and what they want, explains your notice terms as written, and sends the request to the membership team.

It happens to be AI. That is why it never calls in sick, never needs cover, and answers several callers at once. You do not need to know anything about AI to use it: paste your website, pick a voice, connect a number.

Three calls a gym receptionist takes every week

What the caller says, what SiVoice does, and what lands with you.

New year joiner at 7pm

“What are your membership prices and can I have a look round this week?”

It reads the memberships and prices from your site, asks what the caller wants from the gym, and books a tour on Thursday at 6pm with the duty manager. It texts the address, parking and what to bring.

A tour booked during the evening rush without the desk looking up.

Freeze for a broken ankle

“I have broken my ankle and I will be out for eight weeks. Can I pause my membership?”

It takes the member's name and the dates, explains your freeze terms exactly as written, and sends the request to the membership team. It tells the caller when to expect confirmation.

A freeze request logged properly with no argument at the desk.

Is the pool open on Sunday

“Is the pool open this Sunday and are there lane swimming times?”

It gives the pool hours and lane times from your website, and if the caller wants it books a Sunday swim or a class. If the timetable has changed and the site does not say, it takes a message.

A question answered in seconds that would have cost the desk a minute at its busiest.

Gym receptionist salary against an AI receptionist: the numbers

Median full-time pay from the national statistics office, before employer taxes, pension, holiday and sick cover, recruitment and training. Team is the best plan: three numbers, an AI receptionist per location, deposits on the call, ring-backs, several callers at once. Solo is the one-person option.

A receptionist, a yearA receptionist, a monthSiVoice Team plan, a month BestSiVoice Solo plan, a month
United Kingdom£24,678£2,057£354 · excl. tax£150
United StatesYou$37,230$3,103$449 · excl. tax$199
Deutschland€33,636€2,803€419 · excl. tax€179

Nothing against them. They're people, and people have lives. The phone doesn't.

The fee before the salary

A recruitment agency typically charges a percentage of the first year's salary, commonly 15 to 25 percent, or a daily margin on a temp.

The salary is the start

Add employer's National Insurance or payroll tax, pension, training, and the cost of covering the desk when they're away.

Off sick

UK workers lost an average of 4.4 days each to sickness in 2024, says the ONS. The phone does not get the memo.

On holiday

28 days a year in the UK, and you pay for every one of them. Who answers while they're on the beach?

At lunch

One o'clock sharp, which is when the phone is busiest.

Evenings and weekends

Not on the rota. That is when customers finally have a minute to ring.

Monday morning, the text

Can't make it today. The desk is empty and the week starts on the back foot.

Two calls at once

One person answers one call. The second one is voicemail, however good they are.

Hands in their notice

Just as they finally know the job. Back to the advert, the gap and the training.

SiVoice: none of the above. Every call answered, day and night, from $449 a month on the Team plan.

Why not voicemail, an answering service or another receptionist?

Each of them answers part of the problem. Only one answers every call, knows your business and costs less than a day of a receptionist's time.

Gym receptionist questions, answered

Updated November 2026

Can it sign people up?

It books the tour or trial and takes their details, and can take a joining deposit by text on the Team plan. Signing the membership itself happens with your team or online.

Is this instead of a receptionist, or as well as one?

Either. Some businesses use SiVoice instead of hiring, some use it to take the phone off a receptionist who is already run off their feet, and some use it to cover the gap while they recruit. It answers the phone; a person still greets whoever walks in.

How quickly can it start?

Paste your website and it is built in 30 seconds. You can talk to it in your browser straight away, before you give us an email address. Connecting a phone number takes a few more minutes, and it is answering the same day.
