### "New Studio Owner"

March 23, 2026

5.0

I opened my own Boutique Fitness Studio in May 2025 and was looking for easy-to-use software. I was previously using Wellness Living (at the studio I was teaching before), but didn't need all the bells and whistles that make things much more complicated and glitchy. I was used to Trainerize, so using Glofox made sense. It's been really great so far and I haven't had any issues and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a software.

Pros

I had a great introductory call and signed up on the spot. I love the easy-to-use software; there hasn't been any service interruption since using it. The software runs smoothly and doesn't really need any explanation. I wish there were a few features that I was used to before, but overall, for any small studios, this is a great service for a very great price that does everything, including billing, marketing, sales, etc.

Cons

I wish there was a way for monthly members to book more than 30 days in advance to prevent waitlists and frustration.

### "Very Happy"

February 6, 2026

5.0

I switched from Virtuagym and the experience with glofox is night and day compared to virtuagym. If you are outgrowing you current CRM then Glowfox is the platform for you.

Pros

Easy onboarding, feature rich platform at affordable price. Very scalable solution for multiple locations. Branded app is a must have, it solves all of my scheduling and appointment management! Automation and organization of leads and clients is excellent.

Cons

Live customer service comes after a few different AI Q&A exchanges. I dont think glowfox is any different than any other company nowadays moving to automation

Overall, ABC Glofox has been a valuable tool for managing our studio and streamlining administrative tasks.

Pros

I liked how user friendly and reliable the platform is. It makes day to day operations much easier and saves our team a lot of time.

Cons

Some advanced features took a little time to get used to, but overall the platform has worked well for us.

### "6 Months waiting for a fix re: scheduling issues"

February 12, 2025

1.0

I started a new spa and infrared Hot Yoga business in July 2024. The sales team tells you everything you want to hear boasting support, ease and profitability. My onboarding rep was not knowledgeable and frequently responded to my questions with “I’ll find out” and then to never provide a straight answer- for this I didn’t complain just muddled through to get open in time. Then out of the blue, I was given a new rep who after I shared my concerns, apologized for the inconvenience but did no better besides offering up excuses why the answers are hard to come by. The leading answer was due to the people who build this app are located in Ireland and the time change provides difficulty for getting answers timely. That’s a Glo fox issue not the problem of the business people trusting the company we are paying to do the job. I was sold at the start about the pre-sales ability within the system. Odd that the salesmen could speak so highly about it but the on-boarders didn’t have a clue how to make that happen. I paid for several months before opening in hopes to have a solidified app to open my new business with and to conduct pre-sales to provide a huge opening month. This did not occur! I should have backed out prior to opening but I’m always leaning toward hopefulness. A few months go by clients do love the app and it does keep track of my unlimited clients packages which is very nice and yes even easy for yogis and spa clients. October arrived and I’m not sure if the app had an update or what occurred but all the sudden without any change to the schedule/availability on my end and (in fact the back end shows my correct hours), clients can all the sudden book appointments well into the night all the way to 2 am. I have had to call several clients to reschedule which doesn’t look good on a new business. I reported it right away in October. Multiple reports through multiple reps even the sales rep who sold me the package. No one has been able to fix this creating more desk work for me which is why I went with Glo fox in the first place to reduce my desk time. Finally in December I was connected with a rep I can reach out to for follow up regarding my concerns with the scheduling/availability times. Even after she heard my concerns no one has been able to fix the issue. She was able to provide me with a very tiny discount for the month of January and February. I followed up today and she does respond within the same day thankfully, but the answer is completely unacceptable. Her response: “The fix is still in the works by our engineering team. I currently do not have an exact ETA, but it is prioritized for this quarter.“ The quarter ends in March, that is 6 months of non answers and no fixes and last week a new issue has arrived. I can no longer adjust the price at check out. I haven’t heard any response on this new thing that is happening. I’m posting to help people make better choices- read reviews don’t make the mistake I did by attempting to stay hopeful.

Pros

The app is great for the clients and not having other business advertising to my clients on my businesses app.

Cons

Customer service is terrible. 6 months asking for assistance. Misrepresentation at sales level.

### "Great fit for flexible, high-volume kids’ programming"

April 1, 2026

4.0

Overall, we’ve had a very positive experience with Glofox. It has allowed us to run a more complex and flexible business model than most platforms support, while keeping things relatively smooth for both staff and families. The onboarding process was excellent, and once set up, the system has been reliable and efficient. Despite a few minor glitches, it has been a strong solution for our needs and has made managing our programs much easier.

Pros

Glofox is incredibly flexible and has been able to support our drop-in third space model for a children’s learning center, which includes a wide variety of offerings like hourly bookings, classes, camps, and events. Most children-specific platforms couldn’t handle the volume and flexibility we need, but even though Glofox is designed for gyms, it works really well for our business. It’s easy for parents to use, keeps everything organized, and has significantly streamlined our operations.

Cons

There are occasional glitches, especially when parents try to add multiple children to bookings, which can cause some confusion. We’ve also noticed that appointments don’t show up under bookings, which requires an extra email to parents or our end if the email confirmation that they’ve booked isn’t enough. These issues aren’t constant, but they do come up from time to time.

Reason for choosing ABC Glofox

We chose Glofox over alternatives like Mindbody because of its ease of use, dependability, and flexibility for our business model. Mindbody also required a much more restrictive and lengthy contract, which didn’t align with what we were looking for. Glofox felt more straightforward to set up and better suited for our needs.

### "A great platform for a fitness studio"

May 5, 2026

5.0

Exactly what a studio needs. The platform is intuitive for both the admin and the members. Setting up classes, memberships and payments was straightforward. Recommended for any boutique fitness studio.

Pros

Solid platform for managing a Pilates studio Scheduling and membership management work smoothly. The onboarding process was simple and the team was helpful whenever I had questions.

Cons

Their integration with Wellhub is not fully completed. So I have some troubles with some of our customers that come from that platform

### "10 months wit Glofox and organizing many of my tasks at the yoga school"

April 1, 2026

4.0

I have started using the app about 10 months ago. It has a lot of functions that I needed to run everything more centralized at my yoga studio, so it has helped a lot, especially in managing the booking, keeping track of all customers, transactions and communication. It has helped me the overall running of the studio as it has saved me some time of the tasks I used to do manually. ;)

Pros

The booking system and managing classes has become much easier for me. having all clients information in one place, including bookings, payments helps me manage my client database easier.

Cons

No Urban sport integration. Workshops and events is not so well, I wish it´s easier to publish them and they can still show in the calendar with classes but managing them in a slightly different way as some of them are one off events.

### "Glofox Review: Simple, Efficient, and Reliable"

April 23, 2026

5.0

Simple and easy to use, with a clean interface that makes daily management straightforward. It’s reliable and helps keep everything organized without complications. Customer service is also good and responsive when support is needed.

Pros

Simple, reliable, and efficient. It makes managing payments easy, and the support team is always helpful. Highly recommended!

Cons

It doesn’t offer a grace period after a client misses a payment, as access is blocked immediately. Other than that, I really like it.

Fantastic. Great onboarding and support team. Seamless migration. The website and app turned out great.

Pros

Seamless onboarding and migration from.my old gym membership management system. Great staff and product. My website and app came out great!

Cons

That they don't have their own access control. They do integrate with Kisi, but having to have members go to a separate app is not my favorite.

### "Do not use Glofox!"

January 15, 2024

1.0

Awful! I would 100% stay away and save your money. Mindbody is criminally expensive and I would rather go there because their customer service was miles better.

Pros

Surface level, it looks pretty, easy to use and has a good customer user interface.

Cons

Their customer service is awful. I was told "I don't know, here's a YouTube video." They deactivated my entire business by accident, deleting all of my memberships and billing cycles. They were unable to fix it other than reopening the account to everything being deleted. Then refused to help or compensate us for lost revenue.

### "Great affordable software program"

February 16, 2024

4.0

The customer service is phenomenal. They absolutely go out of their way to resolve issues and help you. The system is easy to use and does everything I need it too!

Pros

I love that I can use one system to have my client list, book classes, take payments and manage memberships easily. I love that is easily connects to KISI so that my members get emailed access to the door as soon as they sign up!

Cons

I wish it would show a better detailed list for when a client uses punches for classes or if they cancel it shows they get a credit back. I also wish that the mobile app would allow me to manage memberships a bit better. I currently cant hold /pause a membership from my mobile app or I am unable to manually charge a client for a membership that is past due. When a member is past due and they pay the amount by etransfer or cash i wish they had an option to select paid by other method but instead you have to write it off to get the membership back on track.

### "Robust software and excellent support"

September 16, 2022

5.0

I use Glofox to manage bookings, payments, databases and communication with my clients. The platform is comprehensive and reliable. The customer's service goes out of its way to help, and it is genuine support, be it software-related or financially related when my business was not so good for personal reasons. They also seem to value long-term relationships with their customers, they never increased my membership and never downgraded my software, even though Glofox kept improving and adding functionalities over the past years.

Pros

I've been using Glofox for years and always liked their approach to booking. Unlike in other companies, once my client has logged in to the system, they only have access to my studio, not an entire marketplace and competitors. And I don't have to pay extra for that, it is a built-in feature.

Cons

I wish the option to have a dedicated app personalised to my studio was more accessible. But that is a broad issue caused by Apple and Google stores.

### "Constant New Features While Core Tools Are Broken"

June 14, 2020

3.0

New features are constantly added while existing features are broken. There’s no way include or track sales tax in the store, but instead they’re planning to add payroll processing. If it can’t handle USA sales tax, would I trust that my state payroll taxes have been properly filed? Features seem half finished while others outside the core business are instead being focused on. The new product announcements usually don’t seem relevant. I’ve reported bugs like dates jumping when editing/saving a Course description, and told by Support that I’m wrong. I’ve occasionally had a good experience with customer service, telling me where a feature is located, but typically their answers are irrelevant or tell me a workaround, with no date on when a broken feature will be fixed. I work with a different person each time, and there’s no consistency in the Support.

Pros

The graphics of the software are minimal and well designed. It processes monthly and pro-rated memberships very well. I mostly teach multi-week courses, which competitor softwares couldn’t handle. It saves credit cards on file and allows custom charges (which I use in lieu of the nonfunctional merchandise store.)

Cons

I loved the software during my demo, but have been constantly disappointed since then. They began charging me before the platform was set up for my studio, which took two weeks and missed my grand opening date. In my demo I was shown how easily the bookings integrate into Squarespace, but later learned that’s true only if you upgrade to Squarespace Premium. I loved the ‘Book a Buddy’ feature, but it broke 9 months ago and still hasn’t been fixed. I found out that it was broken because students had +1’s registered but the payment on the extra spots hadn’t gone through. I reported it to Glofox and was told that they were already aware. I lost out on dozens of unpaid bookings and Glofox never let its customers know or removed the feature. It took three emails to Support for them to successfully turn it off on my platform. After the initial demo and signup there is no transparency on pricing or product tiers. I had been planning to change from semi-annual to yearly payment, but my credit card was automatically billed before I had the chance (and without my consent.) I’m a Platinum customer, but I can’t compare tiers of pricing or features.

Reason for choosing ABC Glofox

The sales person and demo instructor were great. I knew that many features were still in development but I was happy with the core functionality. The product has not lived up to the initial, very thoughtful demos and the support has not matched their level of knowledge or attention to detail.

### "Build a Partnership"

August 23, 2021

5.0

So far - so good. Glofox has a huge impact on the way I look at my business right now. The glofox time is always ready to help and teach us how to use the app - whic made my time realize how we could become more professional and trained. It had a good impact on us in so many ways . Our comunication with our students are much more clear and we can see the great results of it. When we are talking about online servive sometimes it is easy to become just like roobots, and glofox showed us that there is a way to make it more human. It made my life easy and closer to my future dreams.

Pros

For me, as a owner of a really small business, it was really hard to work during pandemic time. Our reality was too much work and not enough clients, not because we were not good enough to sell, but because we did not have the people to deal and give the propper service for all our new customers. We were always struggling with delay of communication - and not enough time to respond all the clients doubts. With glofox, some questions are alredy answered by email and by the app itself. Now we have more time to focus and train our time, so we can have a high standarts customer service.\[ We were afraid to make the full transaction to an online system because the prices were really higher for us. But in three months of the system we managed to have more than 3 times more students now. it´s gave us the opportunity to sell ir large scale and to delivery our work for people all over the globe. Me and my time are happy with the results. Thanks a lot.

Cons

There is nothing I would say, I would like least. But from my experience - all my students don´t realize they have access to recorded classes in the app. I would make this botton more easy to notice - because it is important for us that all the people do benefit from the classes we are leaving ther eofr them.

### "Glofox Review"

July 13, 2023

5.0

\[sensitive content hidden\] has been excellent! He goes above and beyond and he really wants the best for the client which I extremely value and he has made my experience very enjoyable.

Pros

Glofox is very easy to use both as a client and an owner. As a client what I liked the most is you can easily book without signing too many forms. As an owner it has great reports, lead management and marketing.

Cons

There are a few features which need to be included. The late fee is something which is very important for pilates studios. I understand this can be done manually however when you have lots of admin work to do this is tiresome. I recommend this process be automated and the studio owner can select the amount the client will be charged if they do not show to class or cancel within the cancellation period. I also recommend Glofox included more functions in the cancellation window. For early morning classes I would like to have an eight hour cancellation period so people understand if they get into the class or not before going to sleep. Whilst for daytime and night classes the cancellation period can be 2-4 hours or whatever the owner deems suitable. This gives the owner more flexibility and something I would like to see in the future.

Reason for choosing ABC Glofox

I liked how easy it was to use Glofox. Both are very similar in prices as Glofox has a higher transaction rate however what got me over the line was I was not pestered while I was making my decision and \[sensitive content hidden\] was very helpful.

### "Viable but slightly an incomplete product."

July 3, 2017

3.0

Pros

I liked the idea of using an app and an easy system of payment, but it heavily depends on your consumer age group. Reports were great indicators of revenue and made it easy to pay instructors. Customer support is very friendly and helpful in fixing issues and many features we complained about were fixed in the end. A large directory is available to help use the program. Able to check how many people booked into a class before hand (although rarely did people book long in advance). Refunds were easy.

Cons

The issue with Glofox is that it is completely filled with glitches. Everyday people would come and complain that they couldn't pay, their account showed credits but they didn't actually have any, or they bought 4 membership packs because it was too easy to pay with the system. Other issues: No family functionality, to sign in a family doing a class they need individual accounts and to log in separately. There is no rule for mass deletion/creation of classes and has to be done manually. Most annoying problem: After the class starts people cannot pay. This means I have to sign them into the class causing me admin. Other annoying things: Glofox announcements don't notify the customers unless they check the news, meaning important info is ignored. Report filters are NOT ORGANISED, meaning I have to scroll through 340 classes to find 1 class. Very annoying. At the start there were many app issues such as random closings, missing classes, and general payment issues. If someone wanted to join another class 10 minutes before the end of their class it would not allow it as it "overruns". Basically stopping me from making more money. If someone couldn't use technology then I would have to use a 'Guest' account, but if you can't book it in to lessons going on the same time, you end up being unable to get correct numbers for your classes...

### "Putting off Potential Clients"

May 15, 2024

1.0

Appalling. This system is actively turning away potential clients of mine during what should be my busiest time of year.

Pros

Easy to see leads, bookings and revenue.

Cons

The first interaction customers have with Glofox is very off-putting for them. It is very awkward and rather than giving suitable direction it tells potential clients that they are "Inelligible" to attend classes, which kills off the relationship before they have paid for a class or turned up

### "Currently switching away from glofox"

October 22, 2019

3.0

Pros

definitely user friendly. was easy to setup, and is easy for our members to use. i like that memberships can be adjusted and like the reporting feature.

Cons

quite a few options have been changed recently making it not everything I signed up for. I don't like that they only offer quarterly billing, and is a bit pricey for what you get out of it given other prices I have been shopping around . customer service has been horrible the last 6 months. I cannot ever get through to anyone, and when I do leave messages or send emails, I rarely hear back unless I harass over and over and over again. then when I do finally hear back it is usually a couple weeks later. this is the primary reason ihave chosen to switch away from glofox . I also don't like that they don't have an app feature for admin, and that you have to use a desktop computer to run the software. you should be able to make sales from your phone or tablet.

### "I'm delighted I chose Glofox... For lots of reasons "

April 11, 2016

5.0

I was just about to sign up to Mindbody when a friend pointed Glofox out to me. After carrying out a demo of the software I was very happy with how easy it was to navigate and my decision was made instantly. Since joining our bookings are up 40%, we're saving heaps of time which was previously spent doing admin and our client base is growing at an incredible rate! If you're looking for a great alternative to Mindbody, these are the reasons why I went with Glofox and made one of my best business decisions to date: On one hand I had Mindbody. If you're looking for software and a custom branded app just as I was (was adamant to make it as simple as possible for people to pay me so wanted an app), you would have to go for their most expensive package at 195 a month. Mindbody also increase your monthly subscription fee when you hit a certain number of members or trainers using the app. My intentions were to use a software package to help us really get a handle on our admin and free time to grow my business. With this growth in mind, expected costs could almost double in the next few months, leaving me with a pricing package I could no longer afford. On the other hand, I had Glofox. Their pricing packages range from 80-140 a month and each package comes with a custom branded app completely matching your business's brand. Not only this, they don't charge you for adding more members or users. As the sales rep I spoke to put it, they want to see your business grow and for this reason, they're not going to penalize you for doing just that. A breath of fresh air if you ask me! Our custom branded app from Glofox gives our members a really simple means of booking and paying for our services. On the backend, I needed a system that would help me minimize admin with as few clicks possible without overcomplicating things. I've found the Glofox Dashboard really clear and simple to use. I tend to set my Dashboard to show weekly bookings, payments due and revenue for ease. I can create and update my schedule, manage memberships including payments, renewals and automated billing in my Dashboard too- really great having everything in one place! Overall, there's nothing better than working with a team of people who really want to see your business grow stronger every day. With such a quick response time to any of our queries, it's safe to say choosing Glofox has been the best business decision I've made. Mindbody won't know what hit them!
