Pros

Customer support really is top notch. The on boarding team is fantastic and truly went out of their way to ensure we had every available resource for success.
I do not use it for my business, but have used it as an avid fitness enthusiast for over 2 years. It is nice when gyms all over the country use this software.
Great! client account alerts are super helpful to make sure we are getting paid any money owed.

Pros

Definitely would recommend giving it a try. Great customer service, great website and amazing tool to keep ranks, dates, payments, attendance and schedules organized.
Like the family account feature, belt ranks are easy to create, add, and modify. Customer Service is fantastic, quick answers and always willing to help.
It like that it comes with its own webpage that can later be integrated with your own. It suits my gym perfectly accounting for all of my needs.

Cons

No real way for instructors to leave notes for students, why not. Never use the mass email or text because its just too complicated-these things can be fixed if they gave it some attention.
It was very overwhelming when I started using it. The app is also pretty bad, although they do update it with new features.
Not only were we not satisfied with the software, we were being charged more than double to keep it.

Cons

Overall there wasn't anything that I can say was bad.
The attendance check-in is a bit confusing when you have multiple classes running.
Prior to using Martial Arts On Rails we operated a manual system and as a consequence we were losing track of payments, grading, etc.
