AI-powered marketing and booking platform for independent fitness studios
Kenko builds an AI-driven platform that automates marketing and booking workflows for fitness studio owners. The tech stack—Snowflake, dbt, Airflow, BigQuery, plus React/Next.js frontend—reveals a data-intensive business model where member acquisition and retention drive unit economics. Active projects span payments automation, ETL pipeline work, and churn reduction, while stated pain points around query performance and platform scalability suggest the company is hitting growth walls in data infrastructure that typical fitness SaaS doesn't typically face.
Kenko is a SaaS platform serving independent fitness studio owners across the United States. The product automates two core workflows: marketing (member acquisition and engagement) and class booking logistics, reducing operational overhead so owners can focus on coaching and community. The company operates a 51–200 person team based in San Francisco, with engineering and data functions dominating the headcount; active hiring is concentrated in India. Customer success appears to be an emerging bottleneck, with support scaling and churn reduction listed as key challenges.
