# Class-photo attendance on WhatsApp for academies \| FaceDojo URL: https://facedojo.net/en/ Data: 2026-10-31 For jiu-jitsu, judo, muay thai, crossfit and group fitness instructors # Students don’t tell you they’re quitting, **they just stop showing up.** The instructor takes a class photo and sends it to FaceDojo’s WhatsApp number; FaceDojo recognizes the students and records attendance. **When a student starts missing classes, FaceDojo alerts you on your phone while there’s still time to bring them back.** [Try free on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/555196278794?text=Hello!%20I%20want%20to%20try%20FaceDojo%20for%20free.%20%28%2Fen%2F%3Ahero%29) Free trial No commitment [Starting at **US$ 39/month**](https://facedojo.net/en/#precos) [**Bob’s Team (500+ students)**, RL Team, Mora Jiujitsu and over 300 academies already use it View case](https://facedojo.net/en/#case-bobs-team) ## WORKS WITH WHAT YOUR ACADEMY ALREADY USES **WhatsApp** Attendance recorded from your class photo. **Wellhub** Track student check-ins in the system. **Academy link** Students register themselves on their phones. A REAL PROBLEM ## Every instructor knows this story. - A student used to train three times a week. Then twice. Then once. You thought it was work, a trip, an injury. - By the time you noticed, they hadn’t shown up for a month. Neither had their membership payment. - The attendance you kept in your head because you left your notebook at home. - The payment reminder you put off because the student became a friend. - The Sunday nights spent checking bank statements to see who paid. - The student who disappeared, and you only noticed when the class looked smaller. **It’s not a lack of organization.** No one can teach and keep track of 50 students’ attendance in their head at the same time. [**How much does that cost each month?** Do the math.](https://facedojo.net/en/#calculadora) A real problem ## How much money walks off your mats? Enter two numbers. **We’ll do the math.** How many students do you have today? **46** students What is your monthly fee? $150 Every month, around: **2 students**stop training That’s $300 less in your pocket every month. If no new students join, in 12 months: **21 students**will have left. Your academy will earn $3,150 less per month than it does today. Illustrative estimate with 5% monthly student churn and no new enrollments. Student totals are rounded, and the amounts use those totals. The 12-month projection accounts for the shrinking student base. Students tend to miss classes gradually before leaving. FaceDojo helps you spot those signs and act in time.

RESULTS IN PRACTICE ## Here’s how it works. Your training stays the same. No computer at reception, no turnstile holding up the entrance, and no wasting 15 minutes of training taking attendance. 1. ![Martial arts instructor and students together on the mats](https://facedojo.net/assets/redesign/dca9f.webp) ### Teach your class as usual. Nothing changes on the mats. No software to open, no roll call. 2. ![A hand holding a phone to send a group photo from the mats](https://facedojo.net/assets/redesign/ed7c2.webp) **FaceDojo** Today’s class photo! 🥋 ### After training, send the class photo to FaceDojo on WhatsApp. FaceDojo records attendance for students identified in the photo. Review the result and add attendance manually when needed, including if you forget the photo. 3. ### Get the names of absent students on your phone. When a student starts missing classes, the app sends you a notification. On the same screen, see whose fees are up to date and whose are overdue. **The rest is up to you.** A personal message from you means more to a student than any automated reminder. FOR EVERY ACTIVITY ## It’s not just for the mats.**It works for any class.** Boxing, muay thai, youth soccer, ballet, studios and functional training. If your class takes a photo after training, FaceDojo works for you. - ![A jiu-jitsu instructor guides a class during training on the mats](https://facedojo.net/assets/refinements/bc680.png) 18 present ### Jiu-jitsu - ![Boxing class wearing training gloves in front of the ring](https://facedojo.net/assets/refinements/8d43b.png) 12 present ### Boxing - ![Muay Thai students wearing gloves in the gym ring](https://facedojo.net/assets/refinements/c1692.png) 13 present ### Muay Thai - ![Children in soccer uniforms with their coach on the field](https://facedojo.net/assets/refinements/14488.png) 15 present ### Youth Soccer School - ![Children’s ballet class with their teacher in the dance studio](https://facedojo.net/assets/refinements/82fa0.png) 16 present ### Ballet - ![Functional training class gathered beside the gym equipment](https://facedojo.net/assets/refinements/4848d.png) 11 present ### Functional Training A REAL PROBLEM ## Your notebook keeps records.

YOUR FIRST WEEK ## You don’t register anyone.**Your students do it themselves.** 1 Day 1 ### Share a link in the group. Create your account and share the signup link in the class group. Students sign up on their own phones, with their name and a photo of their face. 2 First class ### The first photo. At the end of class, send the class photo to FaceDojo on WhatsApp. Attendance is recorded for identified students. 3 Day 7 ### A week of attendance. See who attended and who missed class, group by group, without opening your notebook once. 4 Day 30 ### The first alert. After a month of attendance history, the app flags students missing more classes than usual. This is where FaceDojo starts paying for itself.

Share your academy’s registration link and students fill in their own details. FaceDojo organizes the information so you can follow your classes. ### What if the class photo is poorly lit or someone is facing sideways? Try to take a well-lit photo with faces visible.
