Pros

“We are barely thousandaires and we are not able to decrease the delivery of our process when the program wants us to reduce our prices. When I go to the store, I see the price and I pay it, but for some reason, Pilates, Fitness, Yoga, we are all asked to reduce our prices when we pay thousands and put in hundreds hours of training to provide a high-quality service to people.”

“You can manage your staff & clients, collect member data, sell packages, track metrics, and even take payment in one tab on your browser.”

“I entered into a service agreement with Mindbody Inc. after being represented that their platform would provide a seamless, all-in-one booking and business management solution for my business.”

Pros

“I also appreciate the integrated communication tools, such as email and text messaging, which help me stay connected with clients and manage reminders effectively. While I am still learning all the features, the system already feels like a valuable tool for improving workflow and saving time.”

Owner

“They allow me to stay connected with clients through reminders, promotions, and personalized messages, which helps improve client retention and reduce no-shows.”

“Even during our busiest days, the system keeps everything flowing seamlessly, giving us the ability to focus on what matters most which is our clients and the quality of service we provide.”

Cons

“It can be a bit slow or glitchy at times, and some features feel limited depending on the studio or service you’re using.”
FE

Fatemeh E.

Data Analyst

“You'll talk to a nice, professional person during your first phone call who (at least in my case) will tell you what you want to hear in order to sign the contract. Once I started getting into the set up, I started to realize that it was an extremely long process (onboarding can take up to 8 weeks) and that I wasn't going to get what I thought I would and that it takes a painfully long time to get answers.”

Owner and Teacher

“So, we are seriously considering stopping our partnership with Classpass. Despite the volume we have to consider, we can't take a price decrease; we have to not accept that we have to decrease our prices to accommodate a program run by billionaires.”
JB

Julie B.

Owner

Cons

“I constantly experience issues with my cc flex machine not completing the transaction, which in turn for my clients that relay in using credit to pay for their services are not able cause of me to loose revenue for that day because now I have to wait to run the card or they pay in their next visit!”

“They also do not have a way to track back bar usage (business use of products) and it would randomly change our inventory and tickets.”

Owner

“That I dont get notification when someone cancels via txt and the appointment disappeared so I cant see who was booked there”
