Pros
Dashboard - quick view of the most important information as a gym owner and coaches on a daily basis. Class schedule, At-Risk Member, Leads Report, and check-ins / class reservations.

Nnamdi! Thank you for the review! We appreciate all feedback and are working really hard to make this as perfect system as possible.
Customizable sign up forms is a huge product enhancement we'd love to tackle. We do integrate with Google Forms and such via Zapier for now - but we absolutely recognize the need to be able to build in app questionnaires and forms!
I've done zen calendar, wodify, etc.
Pros
Lots of features outside of client billing (revenue tracking / check in tracking / etc) 3.
Cons
Honestly, nothing that hasn't really been fixed as soon as they've been notified of it.

Pros
I was looking for a software that: -integrated with our existing website -that had a user facing place to check in for class -that the users entered/updated card info without me having to touch it -that had class scheduling included -could integrate with a variety of banks/payment systems for us to get our money
Cons
Sometimes the scheduling feature can be a bit clunky and repetitive to do.

Overall, PushPress makes running a gym significantly easier. Automated memberships alone are worth the time saved to run memberships.
Pros
-automation -customer service -cyber security This software allows for quick charges on items, event setup, attendance tracking, and member communication among other things.
Cons
-membership cancellations -could use a point of sale device -cost per transaction Memberships cancelling is tough to navigate at times. It would be convenient to have a device for sales similar to the Square System. Personally looking forward to a less expensive option for transactions.

It really makes backend business matters easy.
Pros
It makes everything from client management to billing to payroll.

Hey Justin, we're glad that you find the system easy to use! Our developers are working on some additional reporting features that will be released in the future, including more customization. Thank you for the feedback!
Overall it's taken a huge stress and burden off my mind because I don't have to stress and worry about managing members, memberships, scheduling classes, managing class check-ins, retail sales, etc.
Pros
It includes EVERYTHING we need to be able to manage our members, class times, coaches, retail sales, and everything in between.
Cons
There are some elements I wish it had - applying a credit to a member's account and punchcards with retail sales.

We are doing our damndest to automate and keep track of purchases, billings, schedule, client information, etc in one place.
Pros
I love how user-friendly the software is, the customer service is, how clear the team was during our trial and how helpful they've been on issues big and small.
Cons
There are longer roll-out times for some intuitive things me (or more likely my clients) recommend which surprise me, but it could be a function of how our gym is uniquely set up.

I am particularly impressed with how responsive they are to customer suggestions.
Pros
I am able to see attendance history for my athletes, and even receive a heads-up when someone has been away from the gym for a while.
Cons
The navigation can be a little clunky. On occasion I find that I need to download a CSS file of my data to be able to find the exact info I'm looking for.

Hey Rene, we're glad to hear that PushPress has made your life easier! Tracking attendance can be a huge burden (although vital) so making that process even just a little bit easier is why we do what we do. Also, if you're ever having trouble with data or need helping finding information, don't hesitate to reach out to our support team. They'll be happy to help!
I've been able to remove myself from most of the day-to-day admin, since members can self-manage most of their issues through the apps. This has freed up hours from my day to devote to growing the business.
Pros
These apps make it easy for members to self manage scheduling, checking in to classes, and purchase.
Cons
I would like to be able to customize the messages on automated emails.

Sommer - thank you so much for the feedback!
Make sure to drop some suggestions to our Success team - so we can try to understand where we're lacking for reporting and invoicing. Our mission is to nail it across the board and would love to understand.
I love that I can use 1 app to manage my clients, classes, invoicing, sales and also appointments it makes things a lot easier then having to use multiple apps.
Pros
I love the features available with the application, the ability to not only manage members but also their invoicing, payments, ability to self serve as well as the add on features such as check in app, sales app and the class screens app.
Cons
Most of the time the team has been great to work on them and resolve only a couple outstanding items but I wouldn't completely blame Pushpress, part of it is integration with Google calendar.

This is great to hear! We're constantly working to make the app the best it can be, so we always appreciate feedback. Thank you, Jerry!
I imagine as we grow, we will grow into some of the other features this program has to offer. Billing, scheduling, website, member app, have all been fantastic for us so far.
Pros
Handles all the functions that I need it to for our small fitness studio. Interface is clean, easy to navigate.
Cons
Nothing so far, still consider myself a newish user:)

Overall, the software is great and does everything we need it to do. The support staff is amazingly helpful and friendly. If I could change one thing, it would be giving businesses control over the emailing to its members.
Pros
The apps and additional features are simple enough that we started taking advantage of them soon after we set up our membership billing side of things.
Cons
I'm not a fan of the auto-emailing and how we don't have control over what goes to who and when. Especially during migration (but even after), members get tons of unnecessary emails and it's pretty obnoxious. We've also run into other miscellaneous bugs and they often take awhile to hunt down and fix. Seems like the software is very popular and with all of the new apps being tested, issues don't get resolved for several days, maybe even weeks. Maybe just a shortage of manpower?

Thanks for taking the time to give us your honest feedback! We appreciate every review.
We agree with you about the emails - when we started we thought "less is more" and felt it was one less thing an owner had to spend time configuring. We still believe setting up all the emails is a lot of burden on an owner, but we've identified a better way to do this.
It's on the project board, and will be done soon, but we have some really big works in progress now that have to be completed as a prerequisite to this.
From our early days of just using it to collect membership fees to now when we are far more involved with its capabilities, the customer service and integrations have bee phenomenal.
Pros
We utilize it for events, product sales, besides the overall membership management!
Cons
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!
The experience has been great overall. As with all systems, they're not perfect, but they're the system I chose (over 4 others), and I happily recommend them to newer gym owners that I mentor.
Pros
The ability to create landing pages, assign personal training to coaches, and the ease of creating plans/products. Also it just LOOKS beautiful.
Cons
Clients cannot buy/schedule personal training options on their own; customer service sometimes takes days to respond (although quality answers are almost always eventually reached); reports are not customize-able at all (although they're updating that as we speak)

The guys/gals behind the scenes really love what they do so they are more than helpful to help you help your clients. I couldn't have asked for a better support system or cheer team.
Pros
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.
Cons
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.
