Inefficient and costly financial tools

Owner

The way they do financials is a bit frustrating.

This is a huge waste of our resources and becoming very expensive.

64% of reviewers feel negative about Financial Management, mentioning high costs, inefficient processes, and lost revenue. Users report that managing finances within the platform is cumbersome, with frequent errors requiring manual corrections. Reviewers indicate that the expense of the software does not match its value, and unexpected charges or contract terms further strain budgets. Some users say that the financial reporting and reconciliation features are inadequate, leading to wasted resources and dissatisfaction.

Difficult cancellation and refund process

Owner Operation

So I was charged my early cancellation fee of $1000 plus $500 for my own data transfer plus and extra month out of nowhere that they said they would return but have not done so.

They wouldn't cancel the subscription and kept making me get on calls and gave me nothing during the calls, it was a very strange process, and then eventually said they wouldn't be cancelling as they had enacted a hidden renewal and would be holding me to it

88% of reviewers feel negative about Cancellation and Refunds, highlighting challenges with ending subscriptions and obtaining refunds. Users report that canceling services often requires multiple calls and is delayed by unresponsive support. Reviewers indicate that hidden fees, auto-renewals, and complicated contract terms make leaving the platform costly and stressful. Some users say they continued to be charged after cancellation requests, and resolving billing errors or securing refunds is a lengthy, frustrating process.

Slow and unresponsive platform performance

Coach

It is slow to load, over complicated app navigation, poorly streamlined.

Personal Trainer

When wifi is slow the app can freeze up or start responding very slowly and may need to be closed and opened again to work properly.

63% of reviewers feel negative about Performance and Speed, noting slow load times, frequent freezing, and laggy navigation. Users report that the software’s sluggishness impacts their ability to serve clients efficiently, especially during busy periods. Reviewers indicate that both the web and mobile apps can be unresponsive, requiring restarts or causing delays in completing tasks. Some users say that server issues and poor optimization lead to a frustrating experience and wasted time.

Complicated and costly payment handling

Office Manager

Membership / one-off payments keep failing apparently due to the merchant processor PaySafe.

64% of reviewers feel negative about Payment Processing, citing hidden fees, confusing billing, and unreliable transaction handling. Users report that payment processors charge unexpected costs and that reconciling accounts is time-consuming. Reviewers indicate that payment failures, delays in deposits, and lack of transparency in statements disrupt business operations. Some users say the system’s limitations make managing payments and billing for multiple services or clients difficult, leading to frustration and additional administrative work.

Frequent glitches and unresolved errors

Owner, CEO, Founder

It was a waste of time even submitting issues to their customer support team as it would take days for a response and the response NEVER solved the problem.

Owner/CEO

Meanwhile, we had customer service issues every day because of the glitches in just the normal scheduling system.

74% of reviewers feel negative about Bugs and Issues, describing recurring technical problems that disrupt daily operations. Users report that glitches affect scheduling, reporting, and client management, often requiring manual workarounds. Reviewers indicate that customer support is slow to respond and sometimes fails to resolve issues, leading to repeated troubleshooting. Some users say new features can introduce additional bugs, and inconsistent support makes problem-solving frustrating and time-consuming.

Seamless third-party integrations

I love how WL seamlessly integrates with Mailchimp and zoom and our website.

owner

so it was important that the system was able to integrate all of this in one place The system does a great job with these aspects and more and we're very grateful for that!

92% of reviewers feel positive about Integrations, highlighting the platform’s ability to connect with key tools like Zoom, Mailchimp, and website platforms. Users say integrations streamline their workflows and centralize business operations. Reviewers appreciate the ease of connecting with external services, which enhances client experience and administrative efficiency. They indicate that integrations with marketing, scheduling, and communication tools are particularly valuable. Some users report that recent additions, such as Zapier, further expand the platform’s capabilities and adaptability.

Continuous software enhancement

OWNER

It's been always very stable and I see day by day they keep improving the software, that make us feel comfortable that we can keep working with WellnessLiving.

93% of reviewers feel positive about Improvements, emphasizing the company’s commitment to ongoing updates and enhancements.

Comprehensive studio operations tools

WellnessLiving has helped my yoga studio function and grow for years now.

92% of reviewers feel positive about Studio Management, noting that the software covers all essential aspects of running fitness and wellness studios. Users say it supports scheduling, billing, and client management for various offerings like classes, events, and appointments. Reviewers indicate that the platform adapts well to different studio sizes and business models, making daily operations more efficient. They appreciate features that simplify check-ins, manage multiple locations, and handle retail sales. Some users report that the software’s flexibility and robust options help their studios grow and thrive.

This Canadian scheduling and accounting app is interactive, highly supportive, and expertly tailored to meet the unique needs of small fitness studios like mine.

Membership Coordinator

When setting up our membership model, we had aimed to create membership options with a constant, repeating duration of exactly 30 days, but were unable to do, as "days" was not a unit of measurement that we could select for Membership Durations.

Business Administrator

It is convenient being able to make payments through the app as needed, users can be put on a wait list, and it is great for marketing.

General Manager

Typically when you submit an issue ticket it goes nowhere, had to learn a loop hole and submit a ticket a different way for it to work but most times they don't have solutions.

Our clients find it easy to book classes, make payments, and manage their schedules, while on the owner side, the system provides robust tools for managing our studio operations efficiently.

I think the main complaint is that when our staff uses the elevate staff app sometimes changes are a little slow to show up on the schedule or the staff needs to refresh the app to get the change to show up.

Facilitator

This crew is available and personable and are committed to providing the tools we need to organize our services and provide a great experience for our members.

Manager

One of my favorite features is that you can message clients directly from within the platform- this has been huge for us in keeping communication organized and consistent!!!

Fitness trainer

What I like most about the WellnessLiving app is the simplicity, speed and convenience when booking fitness classes.

Wellness Living also does not have APIs that integrate with much of the popular software that allows you to market to clients (e.g. Class Pass) and it does not integrate with systems like Netgym which allow scheduling support. If money is an option, try them. But they are a short term solution.

Studio Founder and Owner

We offer 1:1 appointments, small group classes, and workshops and this robust software meets all of these scheduling needs.

We have a large number of offerings from Yoga, Pilates & Fitness classes on weekly direct debit, to national and international retreats and Yoga & Pilates Teacher Trainings.

Founder

It's great to have so many different ways for my students to book classes, rentals, and other services.  

Enabling 30-day membership durations would not have necessarily fixed this aspect, but it likely would've guaranteed the same amount of training opportunities (days) for every one of clients on a monthly basis

CEO, Service Practitioner

On top of that, the support team is extremely responsive. If there is a problem or a feature you'd like to see, there is a whole community of businesses and tech support to reach out to, ask questions and, if needed, get help from (and yes, they will hold your hand through whatever issue you need resolved, if need be). Whenever there is an update, they send out videos and virtual workshops to help familiarize you with changes as well as tips on optimizing your experience!

Owner CEO

Wellness Living does it all and helped me automate many parts of my business so I can spend more time with my staff and students all while providing quality customer service.

I met once with an onboarding specialist and she told me to log into my account with the login info given to me in an email and gave me her contact info, did a short demo and gave me some homework to do to set up the system on the back end in my account before our next session.

Yoga Teacher

Even if it's not the most lightweight or modern-feeling system, it offers strong functionality once you’re set up properly.

The customer service team is incredibly helpful and responsive. When we changed our business model at Ekstasis Strength and Conditioning earlier this year, I spent hours on the phone and in virtual meetings with different customer service reps (particularly our guy [sensitice content hidden]!) and they always very gracious and generous with their time.

Studio Owner

The review integration has never worked properly to connect to your marketing pages.

Studio Manager

Wellness Living includes features like book-a-spot, class wait-list, and so many helpful features we needed but were going to have to pay extra to have with other software.

Wellness Coordinator Fitness Center Manager

We also wish there were an option to have a waitlist without putting in credit card info.   Although we are a free gym and there would be no charge, we do not wish to accept credit card info for liability and privacy concerns.

The user-friendly interface and comprehensive features have streamlined my operations, allowing me to focus on what truly matters: providing exceptional client experiences.

You can message client groups, classes, etc. Can integrate with other platforms such as Zapier.

President

Wellness Living continues to invest in their platform, largely based on business feedback, and has expanded their functionality along with streamlining key processes to make day-to-day studio management simple.  

After a thorough assessment of platforms for managing our studio services, staff and a broad-based set of CRM-related functionality, we landed on Wellness Living and made the switch in 2021.  

Some of the transactions or reports can be a bit clunky.  

There are occasional bugs and glitches, and the platform speed can be inconsistent at times. While these issues don’t happen often, they can be frustrating when they do.

I have found the application can be glitchy at times, which I have found to be an annoyance.

Certain functions take longer than expected to set up, and the learning curve is steep if you’re not tech-savvy.

I compared many software companies when I opened up my yoga studio and WellnessLiving by far had the best customer service.

In the beginning, it was great I have now terminated my contract due to a lot of issues and loss of income and clients.

Lately it seems the company has been expanding and support requests can experience temporary back ups.

Owner, Chief Instructor

The cost of using the standard package is already meeting all the needs for my school.

Consultant

The least likable feature would be the misrepresentation of websites sometime is confusing because the name of WellnessLiving would pop up instead of the actual host.

Even now, I cannot get ahold of anyone in customer service to provide my 30 day notice not to renew.  

Director of Operations

Fixes and alterations to the system can sometimes take longer than ideal, but there's always a follow up.

The intuitive design and robust features truly elevate the client experience.

Co-Owner

WellnessLiving makes it easy for our customers to book classes, purchase gear and swag, and receive messages all in one place.  

There is so much functionality in this software and we have benefitted from the use of SMS, push, email, forms and so many of the other features.

all inclusive functions such as email, mobile app, financial reports, POS and scheduling.

Owner, Director, Personal trainer

I like the scheduling features in the calendar view.

The apps also work really well and make client check-in a breeze, even when the internet is out or an instructor (who is relatively unfamiliar with the software) has to use it.

In Wellness Living it can be difficult to contact someone directly about solving issues.

There do seem to be frequent bugs and issues that are hard to get resolved.

Between my software, merchant processing, and branded app, it's a little difficult to follow the dollars.

The level of support is phenomenon, all my request for help are replied almost immediately.

Matt reaches out frequently to make sure things are going well for you and your clients.

They used to have fantastic tech support, but if I could rate them a “0” for support I would.

Payment Processing

Users report WellnessLiving’s payment processing is efficient, allowing them to receive payments, generate reports, and set up recurring billing with ease. Reviewers indicate the integration with credit card processors like NUVEI and support for multiple payment methods are valuable. They say WellnessLiving automates transactions and provides next-day deposits, but some feel the processing fees are high and mention occasional delays or onboarding issues with payment processing. Of the 37 WellnessLiving users who gave detailed accounts of their use of Payment Processing, 100% rated this feature as important or highly important.

There are still minor workflows or services that do not seem to work correctly. And customer service is not able to figure out what is going on.

Did a trial and felt it was easy to use, combined all my gym needs into one space making business management seamless.

Learning to use this by using chat AI and customer service took no time at all.

I really liked push press, but felt the sales part was too pushy.

Coming from another software there were a few small issues with the same name but different function.

Further, the test user has signed up for and taken the last spot in a waitlisted class blocking someone from else from training.

It is simple to use and easy to train others on how to use, their support is great - fast and knowledgeable.

Director

The system cannot adjust a start date and payments to the future, something that should be a simple, so is unusable for pre sales of gyms.

The website integration failed to link my website to google, which had a massive impact on our gym launch.

You can tell they're also gym owners and understand our problems.

Payments are unreliable and have often failed, meaning unable to process payments.

We don't use all the features, but what we use works great and connects seamlessly to each module.

There are certain features missing like the ability for clients to book 1 to 1 sessions.

The customer support experience to resolve my issue has been exceptionally poor.

This software is perfect for small gyms that run fitness classes.

As a new strength and conditioning studio, I needed a low cost gym management software that was familiar with the fitness segment I'm a part of.

There are a couple little things with billing I would like to see different Before we ran all personal training on monthly billing, and only have the option to bill per session

Personal trainer/Business Owner

The Push Press free model of revenue sharing was exactly what I needed and they even told me how much I should make a month before it fiscally made sense to switch to their paid version.

This software is so intuitive we were able to set up everything before we even had the onboarding call.

The easy to use app is very user friendly and makes booking classes very simple for clients.
