Ask Dojo & Dojo Master AI
Ask Dojo answers questions about your school by voice, and Dojo Master acts as an AI business coach that reads your real numbers and tells you what to fix next. WellnessLiving has nothing like it.
Churn Analysis & Prevention
Dojo Champ scores every student for churn risk and triggers automated win-back workflows before they quit. WellnessLiving offers no predictive retention engine.
Websites, Landing Pages & Auto Lead Capture
Your homepage, event pages, class registration pages and promotion certificates are built in, and every form automatically creates a scored lead in your CRM. WellnessLiving makes you bolt this on.
Martial Arts Focus
Dojo Champ is built for martial arts schools, not general fitness. Belt tracking, rank progression, and tournament management are native features.
AI Churn Prevention
Our AI identifies at-risk students before they quit. WellnessLiving has no predictive retention tools - you only find out when it's too late.
Belt & Rank Tracking
Complete progression tracking, testing schedules, and rank history. WellnessLiving doesn't offer martial arts-specific rank management.
Marketing Automation
Full marketing workflows for trials, conversions, and retention. WellnessLiving's automation is basic and limited.
Simpler Pricing
WellnessLiving gates staff seats and features behind tiers, with unlimited staff only from Business upward. Dojo Champ gives every staff member a login at $199/month flat.
Martial Arts Support
Our team understands martial arts schools. WellnessLiving's generalist support doesn't specialize in dojo operations.
