Glofox Gym Software vs. Timely booking & payments system

Glofox is best suited for all types of gyms, be it small or medium, or large-scale gyms; for all, this is very good software. Customer management with their payments and gym membership and everything is very easy to manage here. It is also having a very good and smooth mobile application for the end users. It is a bit of an issue to use and configure for the gym admin if they are not at all good technically, so UX for admins can be improved a bit.

I've researched a lot of salon software, and Timely was the top-of-the-line software that does it all compared to competitors. It has a friendly interface, offers easy ways to communicate with clients via text and emails, and provides insights and reports, so it indeed does everything you need for booking software. On top of that, it's cloud-based, so say goodbye to only accessing your appointment book through your computer at the salon.

Timely is by far the most user-friendly and fun to use. It's got a great interface, works on iPads, and training is super easy for the team. Other software is clunky and takes too long to set up and train the team to use.

• Bragging rights, yes. Always cool to tell how automated your business is.
• ROI, no. In our case, it wasn't worth the time spent in integration into the website, system setup, plus subscription fee. However, take into account, that High-Value Professional Services is a wrong industry for this product.
• Convenience and confidence that there will be no double booking across G Suite and Timely was tested and were really handy at the times.
• No ability to use our own SMTP. If your server has Anti-Spoofing DKIM and etc., setting it up with Timely was a nightmare as support had no idea. So a lot of emails were going to Spam on the client's side.
