Gymdesk

Avantages

this is easy application to use because it can help me to manage the teacher's schedule of workout!!

Inconvénients

there are no problems inside the application and i use it well

Avantages

We were looking for a software to manage our small personal training gym that supported the features we needed without the bloat of larger softwares. We also wanted to more easily see our sales, scheduled payments, missed payments, and attendance at a glance.

We also LOVE being able to integrate emails and texts within gymdesk so all communication is visible to all staff. The tasks and automations are also crucial for helping us stay organized.

Inconvénients

So far nothing has been a dealbreaker at all! A few features we wish could be implemented (better recurring appointments, slightly more easy to view calendar, etc) but nothing that overshadows the simplicity and ease of use.

Avantages

It's super easy to use and most importantly if I have any questions, I shoot the team an email and I get an extremely helpful response within 24 hours.

Inconvénients

Only stripe can take bank transfer payments

Avantages

Nice looking interface, easy to use dashboard. Very easy initial set up compared to a competitor service I was also using. Many things just work. Staff responds to problems quickly enough for what I imagine is a small company, but the company doesnt have the resources to continue development to deal with what I feel are obvious issues.

Inconvénients

Very few customization options. No integrated parent/guardian option on sign up forms and waivers (has to be done custom), which for software catering to martial arts businesses is a little ridiculous. Cumbersome to set up document and membership options and difficult to individualize membership options outside of the template you've created (although you can discount or add signup fees, etc). Students uploading profile pictures from all webcams come out with wrong aspect ratio and make my business look unprofessional. Cannot disable capchas on signup forms (among other elements that cannot be customized). Essential membership documents are not required to be signed right away and add an extra step for staff that can easily be missed when I feel the software should be able to automate this task.

Avantages

member profile management is thorough, rank and program management is great, contract setup is really simple, and the interface is easy to navigate. Customer Service is friendly and has good response time.

Inconvénients

Reporting is extremely limited and not entirely clear with the information it presents. Event management is poor.

We love everything about it other than the website builder. Managing leads, students, emails, waivers, pretty much whatever has been super easy..

Inconvénients

Our only issue with website builder is that it downgrades our quality of photos and images don’t fit properly and are not scale able to fit.

Avantages

Easy to use, logical UI, helpful staff. It's very enjoyable, and leagues ahead of the others I tried.

Inconvénients

Checking in history isn't saved.. I guess if you use the front desk app it might, but that's a whole load of overhead for us.

Also seem to have 2 waivers being signed sometimes somehow, dunno how or why there are two 😄

Avantages

The program is simple and easy work with.

Inconvénients

There is no cons about this software its amazing.

Avantages

Gymdesk took me 2 days to fully set up for my new gym. As I grew and needed to change and adapt certain aspects, I could do it on the computer or from the app in a matter of minutes. When I had a question about merging clients, they were super responsive and gave easy instructions.

Inconvénients

I like it all. I have not had any issues.

Avantages

Very simple to operate and easy to understand.

Inconvénients

The pricing is a bit high for the Asian market.

I absolutely love this software. The customer service, how user friendly the software is, the troubleshooting support, and all of the different functions that the software offers is amazing. Based on all of the things each software pricing level offers, Gymdesk sets itself MUCH higher over other software programs available. I would recommend to anyone.

Inconvénients

There are some features i wish there would be more options for customization.

Avantages

The ease of use is what I like most. Everything is easy to use, even our members have mentioned how much easier it is for them to use.

Inconvénients

Would be great if you had an App version for members also. Also an Event section, i.e putting on an internal comp or grading and our members could register for the event through this program.

Avantages

I really enjoy the simplicity of setting my academy up on the software, the positive feedback from my students who use this for class reservations, and how easy it is to navigate day to day operations.

I really wish I discovered this sooner so I could've saved myself from the headaches I experienced using other software platforms.

Customer service is great and very responsive which helps for troubleshooting on the fly.

Inconvénients

I think it would be great if there was a feature within the software to interact with members where they would be notified if an admin user posted something under the content section or even a community board where we can also post updates.

Avantages

I like the customer service the most. [SENSITIVE CONTENT] has been most helpful and promptly responded to any questions or concern that I have had. Beyond that, the breadth of capabilities of the software is really great and I discover new functionality of the software almost weekly.

Inconvénients

There are very few cons with this software. There are little things that have come up here and there, but [SENSITIVE CONTENT] has resolved them quickly or helped us find a workaround.

Avantages

This software is very easy to set up and manage. Our members can quickly and easily sign up and update their information at anytime. What’s even better is that there were no annoying sales calls from people trying to sell us of features we didn’t need.

Inconvénients

The options to manage each membership and edit the clients details accurately.

Keeping pricing continuously updated and getting reminders on if we need to update.

Inconvénients

I very much love this service, however we did need to update our wifi to have the best and easiest running time

Avantages

It's fairly easy to use, and it has a lot of good information.

Inconvénients

It does not interact very well with websites and facebook and instagram interlinking.

Avantages

Coustomer service has been a big help when questions arrive

Inconvénients

Not very intuitive to set things up.

Avantages

The ease of use and ability to adapt to my gyms needs is amazing. With the added bonus of communication portals to my clients, text and email this is a powerful tool!

Inconvénients

I wish the content page had more of a social media feel and less old web 1.0 feel.

Avantages

Effortless and easy for management of your school as a manager. Easy process for your students to sign up .

Inconvénients

I would like to have an application (App) on my mobile via Google Play, or AppStore. No complaints.

Avantages

I really enjoy how easy it is to set up memberships, schedules, personal training and other sales using Martial Arts on Rails. Loads of flexibility for payments and how you choose tot run your business. We're a small, not for profit boxing gym so flexibility was absolute key.

Inconvénients

I would like if there were a way to track athletes progress more a long with coaching plans so I could keep everything in one place more efficiently. Also, I know its not in the cards and it's not a huge deal- but would be amazing if there were an app.

Avantages

Aside from the ability to customize this software to meet our school's needs, the team is very responsive and always willing to answer any questions we have! They have even been able to implement some small new features within a few weeks to make our experience that much better!

Inconvénients

There aren't many things negative about this software; the only thing may be integration with more apps. However as fast as they are improving, I wouldn't be surprised if that happened soon!

Avantages

-Student/Attendance Tracking
-Billing/Invoicing
-Memberships
-Easy to set up and import data
-Affordable pricing for the software
-Amazing customer service
-Interactive portal for students/parents
-Highly customizable
+ So much more

Inconvénients

There are little to no cons to Martial Arts on Rails. Even if there are bugs or questions contacting them will you get you a response very quickly and you'll be guided to a resolution.

Avantages

Attendance tracking:
- Pros: you track everyone on the class that they belongs

Punch Card:
- Pros: We found a way to create a membership as "Punch Card" and it's working the remaining class pretty well.

Check In Report:
-We can see every student that checked in and their dates.

Inconvénients

Attendance tracking:
- Cons: Some teenagers are attending adults class and there's no way to track their attendance on adults class counting attendance for new stripe or promotion on their belts.

Punch Card:
- Cons: We can't take the expiration date for future charges. We have to select a date for the next payment even if the remaining classes are not done.

Avantages

I chose this software because of the ease of implementation. Other companies wanted weekly conference calls to train me on the software. MA on Rails was very intuitive. I had no problems setting up my school. Any issue I have has been resolved immediately. Eran offers fantastic customer service. Customer service really sets them apart from larger companies.

Inconvénients

I'd like some added features. You have everything you need to run your business, but there are a couple of things that would be nice to have. Expanded reporting and an app would be top of the list. The positives vastly outweigh any negatives.
