MINDBODY: Unleashing the Power for Your Spa, Yoga Studio, or Fitness Centre

Having worked as a front desk employee at various businesses that use the MINDBODY system, including yoga studios, spas, and massage centers, I can attest to its efficiency and effectiveness. The software is designed specifically to meet the unique needs of these types of businesses and provides a comprehensive set of features for managing appointments, scheduling, and payment processing. What I appreciated most about the system was its user-friendly interface, which made it easy for me to quickly look up class schedules, book customers into classes, and process payments with minimal delays. Overall, I highly recommend the MINDBODY system to anyone looking for a powerful and reliable business management solution for their wellness business.

Pros

As someone who has been using MINDBODY for some time now, I can confidently attest to the numerous benefits that come with this program. One of the standout features is the all-in-one solution it provides for businesses seeking point-of-sale, scheduling, and online booking capabilities. This not only saves time but also money, making it a cost-effective solution for businesses of all sizes.Another major advantage of using MINDBODY is the quality of customer service provided. Their team is always responsive, helpful, and efficient in addressing any concerns or issues that may arise. And with the software's accessibility from anywhere, thanks to their user-friendly mobile platform, you can easily manage your business on the go without any inconvenience.

Cons

As someone who uses MINDBODY, I want to mention some of the downsides that I've experienced. One significant disadvantage is the software's complexity and lack of user-friendliness. Navigating the program can be a daunting task, and the layout is not at all intuitive. As a result, training new employees can be a significant challenge and a time-consuming process that can cause frustration.

MindBody for Small Gym

Scheduling calendar is simple, intuitive and the drag & drop feature is priceless!
MindBody is a One Stop Shop for a small, service oriented business and it can easily be expanded as the company grows.

Pros

Easy to use, very intuitive. Set up took almost no time at all.
MindBody allows me to schedule Personal Training Sessions and Group Training Sessions, deal with Point of Sale transactions and even track inventory.
The software is flexible enough to handle multiple users and expand when needed.
The software will also take into account independent contractors.
Most functions are very user friendly and mistakes are easy to correct.

Cons

I use MindBody to process my merchant services and processing transactions over a weekend, especially a holiday weekend, can result in a longer than expected delay before the bank receives the funds.
It can take time to put together information for sales tax, most of my business, 95%, is service related.
All transactions are recorded, it's just a matter of remembering which questions to ask to get the correct answer.

Alternatives Considered

Zen Planner and Zendesk Suite

Reasons for Choosing Mindbody

RhinoFit didn't have the flexibility I needed and wasn't as intuitive

Stay away from MindBody Online

While the software design is lovely. Everything about the company, getting your own data from the company, how they run, and how they operate are absolutely horrendous and unethical.

Pros

I appreciate client accounts and organizational setup

Cons

Their lack of ethics, stealing from their clients by advertising their own products to your client base, the u reliability of the app and scheduler, the unreliability of payment processing, the additional fees from payment processing, the costs, the customer service, gaslighting customers and [sensitive content hidden] to avoid taking responsibility for their failures, etc

Using Mindbody at New York Pilates

They are not the most inexpensive booking platform out there, but all my staff are very familiar with using the app which is really helpful.
I believe that they are currently very good value for money. I see other studios switching over to cheaper alternatives, and have been hearing horror stories after they've changed.
I prefer to keep calm waters and continue using Mindbody. It does everything I need and the customer service is totally worth it.

Pros

GREAT customer service. Whenever I have a problem, I can call and the problem is usually sorted out straight away.

Cons

I've been with them since 2008, and in the last 4-5 years the price went up considerably. They offered me a deal to re-sign and I was very happy with it!

Response from Mindbody

Thanks for your review, Daphne! We're so grateful to have you as a customer.
