What the phone looks like for a Portsmouth gym
Portsmouth and the wider Hampshire has a population of around 550,000, built on defence, maritime and a dense terraced housing stock. That produces a lot of phone calls, and for a gym working across Southsea, Fratton and Cosham most of them arrive at the exact moment nobody can pick up.
A membership enquiry is worth hundreds a year and the caller joins whichever gym answered and booked them a look round.
Callwise answers on your own 023 number. Customers ring the number they already have, it is answered on the first ring by something that sounds like a person, and the job is booked into your diary before the caller has thought about trying anybody else.

Portsmouth gyms ask us
Do we keep our 023 number?
Yes. Your existing 023 number stays exactly as it is and keeps ringing your phones. Calls only reach the assistant when nobody picks up, or at the hours you choose, so nothing about how Portsmouth customers reach you changes.
Do you work with gyms outside Portsmouth?
Yes. There is nothing local about how it works, so Portsmouth and everywhere across Hampshire is covered the same way, along with the rest of the UK. The local part is your number and your customers, and both stay yours.
What happens in January?
Enquiries can triple for three weeks. Missing them is the difference between a good year and an ordinary one, because a member joining in January stays all year.
Can it book a tour?
Yes, straight into the diary, which converts far better than a call back two days later.
Will it handle cancellation calls?
It logs them to your process. Most gyms route those to a person, and it can do that too.

Hear it answer, then decide
Ring it and ask what a Portsmouth customer would ask. It is the same assistant your callers would get, so if it does not convince you on the phone it will not convince them either.
