Gym Assistant vs Gymdesk: Which is a better fit?

Katie R.: Hello, my name is Katie. I'm an owner of a gym. I would rate Gym Assistant as a five out of five. For more reviews like this, click below. So I was actually very fortunate that Gym Assistant was the first company that I had ever used. I did research tons of different ones trying to figure out what would be the easiest. And we really just hands down thought Gym Assistant looked the best and most cost-effective over everything we had researched. So we ultimately opened up our gym using Gym Assistant. And we've been using it for about, I would say, eight years now I think we are going on, eight years now, and it's been nothing but great. We chose Gym Assistant just because it was simplistic. We could easily just skim the manual and just get up and running. And that's really what we needed. We didn't have a lot of time for everything that we were doing because we had so many different business endeavors at one time, but the gym was one of our priorities, and we found Gym Assistant. Just with their tech support, they walked us through getting it all installed, and actually, even hooking up our gym doors so that it connects to the gym door. And so people can scan a fob and it links to the software. And they just were fantastic all around. And it just made it super easy. We could walk right up to the software. We loaded our first person in and we were up and running just as simple as that. It was really simple to onboard and incorporate it into our business. I mean, it really makes our business what it is, just all the simplistic features in it. I shouldn't say there's simplistic features. It's simplistic in use, but the features really go in depth. And I feel like every year I think, "Oh, I wish maybe the software did this," and I'll call them and they'd be like, "Well, we actually just added that." And they're continually upgrading, and there's even a ton of features that we haven't even started using yet just because we're not there yet, but it's very in depth in what you actually can use it for. I would definitely recommend you use Gym Assistant. I mean, you could do all your research on all the other companies just to feel as secure in what you're choosing, but hands down, Gym Assistant's going to be your software for your member management, for tracking all the funds, for running all your funds for all your gym members. It runs the gym. Without that our gym would not be running. I say chuckling that our gym is self-run and it's really because of Gym Assistant. It eases my life so much.

Estefan J.: My name is Estefan. I'm actually the owner of my academy and I give Martial Arts on Rails five stars. If you want to see more reviews like this, click the link below. So I actually never used a different software before. I mean, there were different options out there, like Zen Planner and different sort of yoga studio ones, but to be honest, I came across it on an ad, saw the interface, and I was pretty much just hooked right away. So to be honest, I was a bit familiar with Zen Planner before because it was using at the last academy I was working at, but the problem I found was it was just so bulky and clunky and it didn't really move. It wasn't optimized right. And so once I went to Martial Arts on Rails, I found that the interface was really nice. It looked very modern, up to date, and it was very fast and very responsive, which was a big deal for us. To be honest, it was really... It was very nice and easy. So we pretty much put it on all our devices. I have it on my phone, on our laptop, and our tablet. And in terms of actually getting the whole thing going, it really was super smooth. I mean, every time we emailed, we had a very quick response. I'm talking within half an hour and it was... We asked a lot of questions, but it was within half an hour we'd get something back. Oh, how does this work? How does that work? It was smooth sailing. Well, to be honest, I would just say if you've had a different one before, give this one a try. Believe me, it is a lot more simple and it just gets a lot of details done right. And with it being smooth and optimized, less headaches, it's just... It's a... Just give it a try. You got nothing to lose.
