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.”

“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.”
ML

Marisa L.

Owner

“Prior to signing the agreement, I specifically communicated that I was leaving my previous booking platform because of scheduling difficulties experienced by my clients, and I needed a platform that would improve and simplify the booking experience.”

Pros

“Zen Planner is a great tool for fitness studios/business to manage their companies and promote their services.”

“Also, we have been using zenplanner for a really long time and have been able to grow our customer base and revenue exponentially.”

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.”

Jonathon S.

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

“The platform is not as intuitive as advertised, and simple tasks like issuing refunds or managing memberships require excessive steps. If you want reliable customer support and transparent billing, avoid Zen Planner at all costs.”
KE

Kieran E.

Owner

“Sometimes it's hard to find reports I want. When I'd look for a report sometimes the description of the report was what I was looking for but the content of the report wasn't.”
DT

Dan T.

Owner

“The system is slow, crashes often, and critical components (like online registration) are constantly breaking down.”
