I switched to GymDesk and could not be any happier - it does exactly what I was looking for in a school management software at a very reasonable price\! ----- ### "Fairly priced and full of features that we need" — 5.0/5 > **Alec** | *15 September 2023* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Managing capacities per class is crucial. I want to places can do auto billing but to be able to reserve the amount of spots per class and be able to see how many are taken incentivize users to book their class is ahead of time. One thing I would like to see them implement is allowing me too cut off the window. 15 minutes out. They allow intervals of hours or days, I would like to see them add minutes so that I can close the window. 15 minutes before class starts so that people can’t register or cancel in that timeframe. > > **Cons**: Would like to be able to cancel sign in/cancellation 15 minutes out > > Very satisfied with the amount of features and customer support when I do run into issues ----- ### "TERRIBLE customer service and support--simply terrible." — 2.0/5 > **Mark** | *10 October 2022* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is an OKAY membership management platform. > > **Cons**: Gymdesk's customer service and support is TERRIBLE. For one, they do not provide a phone number at ALL. After several emails asking for a callback, someone responded back that they do NOT do CALLBACKS but that they would SCHEDULE a customer service call. Really? Okay, yes, let's do that. What a pain. Especially because I am calling about the 3 THREE charges a month that my $75 a month service is supposed to cost. > > Terrible. I am cancelling and going with the company's competitor. At least they provide a customer service phone number. ----- ### "Gymdesk nailed it" — 5.0/5 > **Joey** | *08 February 2024* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very easy to use Lots of built in features No upsell No sales team/sales pitches Excellent customer service. You email, they get back to you quickly. Simple as that. Tons of online content: youtube videos, articles, podcasts, etc. > > **Cons**: It does not pair super well with Square. There are some limitations to how you can use the physical POS with it. I hear stripe is the better option in this case. > > Excellent. I would highly recommend any gym owner give gymdesk a shot. Even if it wasn't for you (and I'd be surprised if it wasn't), you lose nothing by trying. ----- ### "Excellent\! Highly Effective Gym Management Tool\!\!" — 5.0/5 > **Paul** | *21 July 2023* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We struggled to find an effective tool for tracking our members, memberships, and leads within a single tool. The ability to input leads and walk through the onboarding process with them and follow them through to membership and renewals has been a game-changer for our administrative functions. Additionally, the ease with which we were able to integrate our existing payment processing systems has been nice (since we don't need to get multiple processors). The website templating is also a nice tool. We are not particularly skilled at making and managing websites, so having this template has been super nice. Well done\! > > **Cons**: There are only a couple of tools that don't have quite the robustness that I would like. Specifically, the skills tracking tool is a great idea, but I would like to be able to customize it a little bit more that I can now. > > Overall, I am VERY happy with the decision to begin using GymDesk for our membership management. It is easy for us and our members, the price is very reasonable, and the value is DEFINITELY there\! ----- Page: 1 / 7\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/108981/martial-arts-on-rails?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/108981/martial-arts-on-rails) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
