    Mindbody
    Mindbody excels in areas that rely on the "bread and butter" of its design: scheduling, member management, and payment processing. Overall as a fitness center management solution, Mindbody is by far the best product we have used and they have evolved their capabilities in good alignment with our needs as well.

    The automation is available for nearly everything that we were or are doing manually, that can be offloaded to a system, including automated referral outreach and filling last-minute schedule holes

    Pros
    Mindbody
    • Mindbody does a great job of sending out reminder emails to clients so they do not miss a class.
    • Mindbody does a great job at giving instructors a fast and easy way to check in clients and to see who is all signed up for their classes for the week.
    • Mindbody has a great payroll feature. All you have to do is set the dates and it generates a nicely laid out PDF of all the classes you taught during that time period and what you have made from them.

    Cons
    Mindbody
    • There is so much functionality and not enough accountability. I wish there were more tracking of all transactions done on the clients or operations end to be able to review history and learn from mistakes.
    • The Mindbody branded app connection needs more attention.
    • Please add a covid vaccination checker to the application (not just to use in the web browser). It has taken way too long to get this feature.

    • It's a upfront sticker shock, but the ROI is visible even after just the 1st quarter.

    Usability
    Mindbody
    Settings are often buried, user interface rules vary depending on whether it's a newer feature or an older one. From daily usage, people learn how it works and get used to it, but it's not something someone could just pick up without any training or hand-holding.

    Mindbody
    Mindbody support takes forever to get back to you via email in my experience. The process is not as simple as it was back when they had the chat feature. I really wish they would bring that back! Most items are normally some weird glitch that they can fix in minutes but you have to wait days now.

    Alternatives Considered
    Mindbody
    Mindbody is really the only system of its kind that is widely used by fitness and yoga studios. Its app is the industry standard for looking up and signing up for classes, so most students rely on it exclusively. If there were another viable alternative it would have to promise more ease of use and intuitive backend.

    Return on Investment
    Mindbody
    • I've had agents help me set something up that ended up costing time and money because it was done wrong. [In my experience], less senior agents need to stop guessing or going with "I think so" and talk to a senior agent to make sure what they are telling the client is correct.
    • The app is good exposure.

    • 1-2% decrease in no show rate in initial 90 days of using VI.
    • 2-week ROI, 21% success rate in reactivations (annual, canceled not rescheduled, no show not rescheduled)
