I hope they go bankrupt. This is the absolute worst company I've ever worked with

Pros

absolutely nothing. I hate this company with the fire of a billion white hot burning suns

Cons

I can't hit just one thing. It's the entire program. Constantly screwing up our memberships, not turning off fobs, I have had to completely redo accounts, call center isn't even in the United States...you get an Asian lady named "\[sensitive content hidden\] ".....yeah right, \[sensitive content hidden\] ......members are left outside due to fobs not working on current accounts, call center tells them they don't exist.

Billing fees are much higher than similar software packages and more inline with large corporation with multiple facilities. There are certainly better options available for single facilities that make training, onboarding and usability much simpler.

Pros

Capabilities to manage across multiple locations with ease and deploy packages and memberships broadly as well.

Cons

Outdated technology requiring extensive training. Cumbersome navigation. For a single facility with a fairly simple membership model, the complexity of the software was a drain on time and required significant training to gain comfort in.

Mediocre to say the least. Software needs to be updated in various ways to match the needs for fitness staff and facilities who are using it.

Pros

The area that is most impactful would be the reports section and the different reports that we can build.

Cons

It is not user friendly for our staff and the numerous steps without being able to open and view various pages and the time it takes to locate abs do anything in the software is not ideal. Sometimes I am able to troubleshoot things faster than the Tech support department.

their software is definitely capable - and we haven't seen the new Ignite face lift that modernizes it and would likely make ease of use. however this doesn't matter when I have horrible assistance in creating new reports I need, adjusting many accounts over into new membership types, changing out contracts for me, and just about everything I request that I'm not able to do myself.

Pros

Once learning their software I was able to do a lot capacity wise comapred to other software companies I've seen.

Cons

The customer service when needing big changes is terrible. my assigned agent was new, and I quickly passed him in knowing about their software only having used it a few months more than him. Many of their higher ups wouldn't even respond to me via email at all until a third email with a bit of attitude about needing a response or what is going on. To this day we are shopping for a new company as we are going one over a month since my initial request to implement a new "additional services" contract to be signed for our new kid zone. I have members signing paper copies currently because i couldn't wait any longer to open up the space.

Overall they were a B+. Stable software, great up-time and availability, good reporting. For our single gym the price was pretty steep and when we renewed they did not have any options. Ultimately we found a system that met our needs at a much lower cost for the software and CC fees.

Pros

It is a very stable platform with great reporting capabilities. It manages members and payments seamlessly. Although it should since it is the bread and butter of the software. Customer support was 24-7 and fantastic. Very quick to respond and very knowledgeable.

Cons

The stable platform is based on an older technology so customizations or changes are very difficult. Upgrades were promised based on a new browser based system but they were delayed endlessly. The browser is just a "skin" over the legacy system. It worked for our small 24-7 so this is not really a criticism, just a fact if you are looking for cutting edge technology. The monthly fees were high and they had add on fees for processing and "system maintenance" fees

ABC was with us for a long time, so clearly we liked using ABC and found it useful. However, there are several ways to improve the look of it and make it easier for us to use.

Pros

I like that ABC can integrate with CRM systems since we did not have one with ABC included and had a member portal option available.

Cons

ABC was not super easy on the eyes or user friendly. ABC did also not make it easy to switch primaries or run clean reports

Awful! Losing members because no one is ever available to help in situations! EVER!! Unless you want to talk to someone in India that has no flipping idea about the software!!!!

Pros

I can’t think of anything positive! It’s been a nightmare!! We’ve lost members because of the lack of help! Now they’ve outsourced to India! When there’s a problem, you will never get a quick solution if you get a solution at all!!!

Cons

EVERYTHING! Client services. Tech support. The fact that if you email about an issue there is no help immediately. EVER

Reasons for choosing ABC Ignite

They talked a great game. They know what a pain it is to switch once they “got ya”

They are doing billing and access control at an acceptable level. However, tech support, reports, point of sale, data entry, member portal, and retention are all below standard performance or nonexistant.

Pros

Captures membership data Access control Billing daily

Cons

Poor/no support for gym owners Lack of response from management team Poor data reports Cumbersome and not user friendly Poor tech support Long hold time no solutions to ongoing problems

Overall, this is a great experience esp if you're needing something to sync everything together. Just be ready for it to lag at times.

Pros

You can easily navigate this system even if you don't consider yourself an expert with programming. It's user friendly. A lot of options are available with this software.

Cons

It can be very slow and sluggish at times. It can crash when you least need it too and might freeze at times when you're working on things.
