Dance Studio Software

On the automation side:

With my current plan, I only have two automations available, which is really not enough.

There aren’t many trainings on this topic yet.

On the email management tool:

I would love to see the number of people who click on the links.

I would love to embed a mini form in my emails so subscribers can respond directly within the email.

On the store side:

When you have a membership and you want it to be visible and searchable, you have to upload one video per item. Then your students have to purchase each item individually to access the videos. That’s not a very good user experience.

I’m a French user, and there is a lot of information in English that I can’t change. That’s a BIG constraint for my customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

OfferingTree helps me manage all aspects of my business in one place, and for that, the tool is amazing.

The problem I was trying to solve when I first started using OT was finding an easy way to share my online classes with both members and one-time clients.

That's great because I can promote my membeship with the live class and accept students that don't want to be members but want to practive live with me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very little to be honest! We have been impressed by everything so far! Maybe the only thing we noticed is whenever you open a client account within the reporting section, if it just opened it in a smaller window instead of taking you out of the report, that would be handy. As at the moment we sometimes have two legitfit windows open at the same time- but this is something very minimal and only needed the odd time when trying to figure out particular members invoice queries Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use LegitFit to manage clients, and provide better gym access. It's easier for clients with QR codes and helps me find out who owes money and who's paid much quicker and simpler than our previous system. It also lets me export and manage reports more efficiently and have a clearer picture of the business operations eg monthly revenue, failed payments. We also are much happier now that members have to sign their ts and cs and have a better understanding of our in house rules and terms of their contract handy to them. We have now introduced a par q thanks to the app which again is so important to us as a gym. Another big benefit is prior I would have had to meet potential members at the gym in order to sign up, now they can do it themselves via the app- this is hugely beneficial, not just in regards to my time but also for members who want to get started asap or struggle to find a time to meet at the gym first to get added to the system. Eventually we will like to add day passes too, which wasn’t an option to us before with our old system. The benefits have been huge already and we are only in our initial stages with it.

Having to have conversations via email when sometimes a phone call is all I really need. It would be nice to have a live person to talk to whenever there's an issue that comes up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Wodify helps me with scheduling, keeps my classes full, handles payroll, and allows real-time synchronization with students and team, enhancing communication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In the beginning, the platform was a little hard to understand. There are also some areas for technological improvement and colors that could be better. I think the merchant teams could be a bit more advanced in terms of their admin capabilities. Even though they get back to us quickly, there's always room to grow in making the platform easier to understand. They send a lot of emails, which could be streamlined.

WellnessLiving keeps everything organized, simplifies scheduling, and makes admin work and taxes easy. The platform has a helpful private app, enhancing studio operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One area I wish was improved within Mindbody is the visibility of internal client notes. As a studio, we like to keep all member-related communication and operational notes in one centralized place for efficiency and team communication. However, at times these notes may include sensitive operational details such as billing issues, account concerns, or internal follow-up items that are not intended for client viewing prior to us addressing them directly in person or over the phone.

Having the ability to separate internal staff notes from client-visible notes would create a more professional experience for both staff and members while still allowing teams to stay organized within one system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

None to report at the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

theres alot of solution that I want that are in the higher tier. I believe that some of them are basic functions at that point of time and it can be managed by limited usage instead of a hard cap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use.

Easy to use from both admin and user perspective. there are no unnecessary automated functions that make editing frustrating≥

Ease of implementation

the implementation part was made easy as the team was there to support even after the product went live. This made it easy to resolve issues as I had the ease to deal with it as the problems come. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there was an easy way to show reporting on attendance class numbers and being able to display this in a graph would be REALLY helpful; the same also for revenue so I can see attendance/revenue trends over a 12 month period.

If I'm honest, I don't use all the functionality and the size of my business doesn't really support the price. I would be so happy if there was a way to reduce the quantity of features available to use, and also reduce the cost of the subscription. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We wish smart lock access was native with Gymflow and didn't have to use an integration, however the integration aspect has been seamless so far so we can't complain either way! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Gymflow helps collect our recurring expenses, integrates with KISI to make our lives easier with smart lock access saving us countless hours of admin work and billing invoices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Push Press GROW has been a net negative for my business.

The default workflows are poorly designed and have caused me repeated headaches and damaged my brand. I have lost sales because I trusted their default workflows. You can't trust their "out of the box" workflows.

Since the default workflows aren't very good you are better off making your own workflows from scratch and saving yourself some money.

The email marketing widget is weak. They don't even use it themselves for their email marketing. For example you can't embed more than one link into an email using the email marketing widget in GROW.

Lastly, while it's getting better CORE & GROW are not integrated particularly well.

In CORE my gross revenue figure shouldn't include sales tax collected. If you're in a jurisdiction that includes a sales tax their financial reports aren't as helpful since you need to go digging to find the "real" numbers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Automated billing, mobile app for clients to book themselves in, shared calendar/scheduling, they are working on some really cool/helpful AI features for CORE. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, none, have tried many club management systems before finding this one and it does the job the best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can organise my members into an easy to view schedule.

Page loads fast, and edits are easy. Viewable fine on desktop or on my phone.

Easy to share with others if needed.

Having the option of hiding people from the schedule is appreciated - my more tech savvy members view the timetable themselves to check when they are booked if they ever have any issues, whereas with most I just instruct / organise their timings and enter the details myself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like most everything about it. It would be nice if there was an automatic calendar invite sent to both the provider and the participant with the appointment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Acuity Scheduling automates scheduling and communication with clients, reducing manual upkeep. It's customizable and user-friendly, allowing our team to adjust schedules and send automated emails effortlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike about Omnify is that some customization options feel limited, especially when trying to tailor the booking pages or reports to specific needs. Occasionally, the system can be a bit slow or requires a few extra steps to complete certain tasks. However, these are minor issues compared to the overall convenience it provides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Omnify is solving the problem of managing bookings, schedules, and client communications in one place. Instead of juggling multiple spreadsheets or apps, everything—from class registrations to payments—is streamlined through a single platform. This has saved us time, reduced administrative errors, and improved our customers’ experience by making it easier for them to book and stay updated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think their lead management capabilities are still fairly new, and not necessarily covering the full scope of what I would want or need in the CRM and sales management software, but have already seen so much added to their product in the two years I’ve been a customer so am excited to see them keep evolving it! They really listen to their customer feedback, more so than any software company I’ve ever worked with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Walla is my all-in-one software for truly everything. It's invaluable to have everything under one hood to help me scale without having to hire extra people to own and oversee the different products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a heavy software that is hard to understand, and sometimes the features don't do what you would expect it to do based on what it says. It also doesn't seem to be built in a way that has minor athletes in mind. For example, there is no way to have a parent sign a waiver for the student in a way that ensures the parent is signing the waiver on behalf of the child. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We understand that they are working on solving a challenge where parents cannot see subscription info for a dependent, as well as billing info for the dependent. The latter only happens when the billing is all taking place inside of the defendant's profile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The personal training schedule- we came from using Mindbody for that portion of our business and Club Automation is pretty antiquated compared to Mindbody, however I have heard that a scheduling update is coming soon! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Prior to using Club Automation, we were using two different software companies to manage our business. Since switching to Club Automation, I have been able to decrease my overall workload and our business runs smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Scheduling emplyees and clients, taking attendance of clients and billing them Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Extra fees add up – Many features (text marketing, forms, add-ons) require additional paid upgrades, which can become expensive over time.

User interface can feel cluttered – There are so many features that sometimes it’s not very intuitive, especially for new staff.

Limited customization – Booking pages and forms don’t always allow full branding or flexibility for a medspa’s specific needs.

Customer support can be inconsistent – Response times and quality of help may vary.

Reporting limitations – Some reports are not as detailed or customizable as you might want for tracking performance or revenue.

Overall, it’s a powerful platform, but it can feel a bit rigid and costly when you want to fully tailor it to your business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Vagaro solving and how is that benefiting you?

Vagaro helps solve the challenge of managing multiple aspects of a business in one place, including scheduling, client communication, payments, and marketing. It reduces the need for manual booking and constant phone calls by allowing clients to book online, which saves time and improves efficiency. Automated reminders help minimize no-shows, and having client history and notes in one system enhances personalized care. Overall, it streamlines daily operations, improves organization, and allows me to focus more on delivering quality services and growing my business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a few parts of the system that could use an update. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Glofox is solving the challenge of managing a high volume of different programs in one place. We run a drop-in third space model for a children’s learning center with classes, camps, events, and hourly bookings, and most children’s class-specific platforms couldn’t handle that level of flexibility. Even though Glofox is designed for gyms, it works incredibly well for our needs.

It allows us to streamline scheduling, manage credits, and keep everything organized without confusion for parents or staff. This has saved us a significant amount of time on admin work and made the overall experience much smoother for our families. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
