Melanie E.: Hi, my name is Melanie. I am the owner. My business is small, and I give Mindbody a four out of five. Prior to Mindbody, the software that I was using took a lot more time. It was tedious, and, to be honest, it was quite manual. I chose Mindbody because I've heard a lot about it, and a lot of people told me it was a good software to use. So word-of-mouth is everything. Using Mindbody was a little difficult at first, but I was able to manage and power through by looking up different ways that I could find the information without being stuck and alone finding it myself. If you are considering getting Mindbody, just make sure you do your research, so that you know exactly what you're looking for, and you know exactly what you're going to get. If you do not know what features you want, then it's going to be really hard to narrow down the benefits of a new software.
