Both tools help gyms manage leads. But they take fundamentally different approaches. Here's an honest breakdown.
GymLeads is a traditional gym CRM — you capture leads, organize them in a pipeline, set up email/SMS templates, and manage follow-ups manually. It's been around since 2014 and serves 1,000+ gyms globally including brands like F45 and Gold's Gym.
Delprio takes a different approach. Instead of giving you a CRM to manage, it handles the outreach itself. AI reads what each lead wrote and sends a personalized email within 60 seconds — no templates to write, no sequences to build, no manual follow-ups. You get a dashboard to see what's happening, but the system does the work.
If you want a full-featured CRM with manual control over every message, GymLeads is solid. If you want the follow-up to happen automatically without you touching it, that's Delprio.

GymLeads gives you the tools to manage lead follow-up. Delprio does the follow-up for you.
With GymLeads, you write email templates, set up automation rules, assign leads to staff, and manage the pipeline. It's a powerful CRM, but it requires your time and attention to set up and maintain.
With Delprio, you tell the AI how your gym sounds, and it handles the rest. A lead fills out your form, the AI reads what they wrote, and sends a personalized email within 60 seconds. If they don't book, follow-ups go out automatically. You don't write templates, you don't build sequences, you don't manage a pipeline — you just check your dashboard to see what's working.
For gym owners who want total control over every message, GymLeads is the right choice. For gym owners who want the follow-up to just happen while they focus on training clients, that's where Delprio fits.
You're the trainer, the marketer, and the admin. You don't have time to write templates or check a CRM between sessions. Delprio handles it all.
No dedicated sales staff means leads slip through the cracks. Delprio is the sales team you can't afford to hire.
If you have someone whose job is to manage leads and call prospects, GymLeads' full CRM gives them more control over the process.
If you need MindBody/PerfectGym integration, Facebook Lead Ads, SMS campaigns, and staff KPI tracking, GymLeads' feature set is broader.
