> 
> **Pros**: I love the ease when first setting it up both as a business and a client.  My clients also love how they can book or cancel easily. I luuvvve the options to set up class times,  personal training sessions with clients and you have the option to put which instructor you want the session with.  I also love the help and support from the creators of the App. They are so quick to fix any problem you may come across. And they don't mind at all when you have done something not quite right and can't figure out why it's not working properly 🤣🤣🤣 . This App really is great .
> 
> **Cons**: Can't think of anything at the moment.  So far have been really impressed.
