Join It vs PushPress Comparison

The service and the fact that they never stop improving! They are always adding features to make it easier for us as a box owner. We get compliments from athletes when they first join us on how easy they make it sign in or purchase items. When it's easy to buy from the store, your members will spend more money!

There is some back-end tracking things that aren't in place yet, but they are always adding new things as owners ask. So it's a con, but not one they do not try to make better for the user.

The App is user friendly and easy to use

The website integration failed to link my website to google, which had a massive impact on our gym launch. Payments are unreliable and have often failed, meaning unable to process payments. Waivers were not added or duplicated causing member frustration or members to not have waivers at point of joining and classes disappeared, making bookings initially unreliable.

I LOVE that it is simple. Point of sale, checking in, putting out the WOD data, etc. I HATE other software like WODify and Zenplanner where people enter their daily "scores" and "numbers", because it leads to elitism, dishonesty, and friction in EVERY gym I've coached at prior to my own.

Not much, it can be glitchy at times but that is to be expected when a business is new. It's always resolved.

I've been using PushPress for over two years now and have been consistently surprised by PushPress. The company is constantly evolving, adding new products, services and integrations that empower me to spend less time on running a business and more on what I'm in business for. Exceptional customer service is just the icing on the cake.

Interface is slightly "rigid," but it does everything it needs to do, so it's not really a problem as much as it is an opportunity.

Thanks for the review Skyler! I love your mindset in that it's more of an opportunity! We're actually redoing the whole frontend right now :)

They are true professionals and actually care about the users. Pushpress is super easy to use, and has all of the essentials, but the customer service is second to none.

If it had workout tracking I would give it 10/10, other than that, its top notch.

We appreciate the review, Raymond! Our customer success team is full of people who truly care about you and your success. I'll pass along the kind words. Thank you!

Everything about Push Press is amazing! It’s easy for anyone to use. It has helped keep my finances in order, my schedule clear and my members up to date!

Nothing about Push Press is hard. T first it was overwhelming, but after practice it was easy.

We love hearing this, Jamie! We know how stressful running a fitness facility can be and our goal is always to make your life just a little bit easier. Stay healthy!

It is pretty simple to use and they are always working to make it better and easier.

As I grew it was difficult to understand how much more I could get out of it. But they always scheduled a meeting or two to make sure I could take advantage of everything at no extra cost.

Able to zoom in on Workout Able to set up 2 week notification if client hasn't been in

Ive been using it for the past 6 months with Calibrate Sports and it has been super easy to understand!

Serves as a decent base for a Crossfit gym.

The reporting is terrible. Hard to run a business using the built in reports. They are seldom correct or useful.

I love how easy to use this software is to use and the customer service is top notch!! We utilize it for events, product sales, besides the overall membership management!

No true cons that we have come across! Early on, it didn’t have as many integrations as it does now.

We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review, Sarah! Our goal is to make the lives of gym owners a little bit easier, so to hear that we've been a game changer for you is beyond exciting. Thanks for being on the team!

I love how simple it is to set up and run smoothly. It is easy to handle day to day for simple changes when needed, and it is really easy for our members to use.

I'd like there to be better reporting and alerts. That said, there has been many updates to this and I am excited about them so far (and what is coming down the pipe in the future)!

I like the drop down menu that you are first greeted with upon launching the app. It makes going where you need to go easy and quick.

I don’t like the app logo. I wish we could customize with our company’s logo. It gets lost because I don’t recognize it.

I like how simple it is to use this software product. Very intuitive and training coaches how to use it takes little time.

Eventually it would be nice to deliver workouts though the platform, but there is something said for doing one thing and doing it well, that’s what PushPress offers that other companies do not.

The simplicity of it. There's no extra bells and whistles, just what is important for a boutique studio to function. And doing it very well.

Every now and then, there will be some bugs. Although the development team rectify it really quick, but at times, there's just inconvenience. For their website builder, it looks very amateur. So I'd rather they not have it totally.

Thank you for the review! We're always working hard, not only in enhancing the product, but in fixing any issues and helping our clients as well!

We have been with Push Press for our gym management software since it was in beta. It does absolutely everything I need it to do and makes running the gym much easier. Every year the software has added new features. The company is very responsive to the needs of the gyms that use it and the customer service is amazing. Highly recommend

Nothing that I can think of right now

Aimee, thanks for being a PushPress OG! We couldn't be happier that you've stuck with us and we're excited to see how far we can go. Thanks for your support!

It does everything I need it to do, is super clear and easy to use, and the pricing is unbeatable for the value delivered.

There's no time clock feature and payroll is in beta. We have a small staff and use a spreadsheet to track time, so it's not a big deal. It is 100% worth it to use PushPress and keep track of time with other methods.

I love that if I have a question, I can chat with someone quickly and get it answered. It has been a huge selling point.

So far just the fact that I can’t toggle back and forth between customers paying with CC and ACH. I wish they could choose when signing up for a membership with me.

Allison, thank you so much for your review and feedback! Our goal is to make the simplest, most "automagic" system for gym owners to help them save time and headaches (and make more money focusing on their clients!) I think what you're looking for is the ability to have a online self-serviced signup and have the client choose ACH or CC. We built it as a hard switch (one or the other) because most gyms who want to use ACH want all their customers on ACH. I think this is something we can revisit when we rebuilt our landing pages.

Very customizable, easy to learn, reports are easy to read

Wish it had programming software like Sugarwod built in.

Thank you for the review, Jake! We appreciate your feedback. We do have our Track system, which allows you to easily program workouts - but we do not do workout tracking. The reason is twofold: 1. Currently, there's 2 philosophies around workout tracking. Tracking performance & Building community. It's pretty hard to build a system that can do both well. SugarWOD is focused on building community. Depending...

This is easy to use absolutely love it.!!

Some of the phone features are a little difficult but it is also understandable

We appreciate you, Christina! Your recommendation means a lot...thanks for joining the team!

I’ve really like how user friendly it is

Still needs a few upgraded features like inputting large amounts of leads and the pairing to iPad always messes up and has to be repaired

recommend to any and all gym owners!! totally awesome software!

nothing at all. it works every time and they keep up with updates. at first the check in app was not good but they have fixed it

I love that the team are constantly listening to the issues and need of the gym owners that use the product. They change functionality of to make life easier.

Initially it took some time getting used to reading the reports to make sense, but after using it for a few weeks its easy as pie.

It keeps track of everything and makes it extremely easy to post available products for purchase and charge for them. Checking people in for classes is a breeze.

Sometimes i can get lost in the software but still great and when we have issues the push press customer service is wonderful.

Ease of use! And I need user friendly technology.

Nothing really. It meets my needs, which is awesome.

Nadine, your kind words are really appreciated (and helps fuel us, we live for making gym owners happy!) We put a ton of time and energy into making the simplest, most streamlined system. One thing we learned doing this, is it's 100x harder to make a complex idea simple. But we're trying! =)

This is such an awesome product to manage clients. You can create tons of plans, keep track of attendance, sell products/merchandise and easily keep track of it all.

I don't like the way it says "edit" at the bottom of the "edit" page. I wish it would say "save changes?" or something to that effect.

Tiffany - we love our Stroller Strong Moms! Thank you for the feedback! Really happy our customer success team is providing great value for you - it's one of our core tenants to make sure your team is well super well supported.
