The Best Gym Management Software Package - Hands Down! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Demetrios G. | Owner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 20, 2022 **What do you like best about Gymdesk?** GymDesk has everything I could ever need to manage my wrestling club. However, the thing that sets GymDesk above the competition is their customer service. They are only just an email away and reply back within hours. **What do you dislike about Gymdesk?** I wish I had more control over website options (outside of using CSS). Something as simple as choosing different color schemes or being able to modify the grouping of menu items. **What problems is Gymdesk solving and how is that benefiting you?** GymDesk allows me to control every aspect of my wrestling club and member management. It is constantly evolving to help manage both of those items (i.e. the addition of Rosters). The evolution of the product coupled with the owner being in the combat gym functional area make GymDesk the no nonsense solution we needed. ### 2.
