CEO Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "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. Alternatives considered [WellnessLiving](https://www.capterra.com/p/145039/WellnessLiving/) Reason for choosing ABC Glofox Cost and easy-to use interface. Wellness Living was a little too much for what i was looking for. Review Source TM Tara M. Owner Recreational Facilities and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "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. Alternatives considered [Mindbody](https://www.capterra.com/p/40229/MINDBODY/) 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.

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.

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. Review Source Diego Alberto R. Owner Sports Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "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 Alternatives considered [Mindbody](https://www.capterra.com/p/40229/MINDBODY/)[Fitco](https://www.capterra.com/p/182579/Fitco/)[Fitune](https://www.capterra.com/p/208500/Fitune/) Reason for choosing ABC Glofox The platform is intuitive for both the admin and the members Review Source VR Verified Reviewer CEO Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "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 Switched from [Virtuagym](https://www.capterra.com/p/132191/Virtuagym/) Virtuagym did not offer all of the features I needed Review Source BI Bilyana I. Director Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "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. Switched from [Meetup Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/238689/Meetup-Pro/) MEetup was lacking a lot of the features that I needed to automate my tasks and it didn´t give me access to my clients emails.

Owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "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. Switched from [ShapeNet](https://www.capterra.com/p/77428/ShapeNet/) ShapeNet closed down. We have to looking for a new one. Review Source TC Toby C. Owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Glofox changed my business" February 7, 2026 5.0 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. Alternatives considered [GymMaster](https://www.capterra.com/p/57469/GymMaster/) Reason for choosing ABC Glofox Better pricing, onboarding, and better features Switched from [Square Payments](https://www.capterra.com/p/170278/Square-Payments-Processing/) Need of automation and website/app integration Review Source KW Kate W. Yoga and Pilates instructor Sports Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "The Loft Studio " March 29, 2025 5.0 Very good ! \[sensitive content hidden\] Was fantastic!! Responded fast and was super informative and patient with my constant requests. Pros How easy it is client facing. Just a few clicks and you’re booked. Cons The workload - I was lead to believe the migration would be done for me stress free but it was a lot of going back and forth. All sorted fast but time consuming. I have one complaint. If there’s 2 studios in the same area using the Glofox system clients have complained they have to keep signing in and out. Would be good if they could have two accounts on my profile to access different studios as and when. Switched from [Acuity Scheduling](https://www.capterra.com/p/191978/Acuity-Scheduling/) Acuity was problematic and the support wasn’t very good so lots of things went wrong. Review Source KJ Katie J. owner/studio manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great product and new improvements however some very frustrating features" June 2, 2020 4.0 I have definitely seen improvements with communication over the past 4 -6 months. Their customer service has improved greatly. Overall the staff are very supportive and friendly to work with. We have been really well supported during the COVID-19 challenges and very much appreciated Glofox seeing what customers needed and added some great features during this time. The one downfall is communication - especially when things change eg. booking only into your next booking period - this was not communicated to us that the previous 'glitch' (as explained to me), where you could book in as far in advance as the studio allowed if you were on an unrestricted membership, had now changed. We could not communicate and or prepare our members returning to in studio classes (after COVID) for the changes - and hence created a lot of stress that could have been avoided. Pros Easy to schedule classes, dashboard is well designed and easy to navigate, great user app, new features that were added during COVID-19 - zoom integration to live classes, on demand feature for members. Cons The current set up to memberships allowing subscription members to only book ahead into their next booking period. This does not provide flexibility for our business and creates a lot of confusion for our members. I can understand how monthly billed memberships can work on this system however ours are weekly (see below). So members can only book a max of 2 weeks/min of 1 week in advance. It then creates confusion amongst members as to why some members can book further ahead (ie credit pass users) and if members have different payment dates its a bit like a yoyo effect. Explaining how it works to members is very confusing. This feature has only come into being in our studio. Prior to COVID-19 closures members were able to book 4 weeks in advance (booking window set by us) but now it has changed has caused great havoc. It has taken away a lot of value in our product and flexibility in the way our members book and become very frustrating for members as well as staff now managing the queries. If I knew this feature would come into play before we signed up to glofox I actually would strongly reconsider my decision. We are a small boutique fitness studio (we provide reformer class - max of 10 per class) our membership costs are expensive ($40-$55 per week) hence all of our members are on weekly subscriptions. We also provide credit packs for client who want to pay per class. Reason for choosing ABC Glofox as above Switched from [Mindbody](https://www.capterra.com/p/40229/MINDBODY/) Glofox is better value for money. Own app feature. Easier to use for multiple studios. (We went from 1 to 2 studios just after changing to glofox). Better reporting features.

Business owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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.

Switched from [Mindbody](https://www.capterra.com/p/40229/MINDBODY/) Outdated and overpriced product. Review Source MS Marnie S. Strength & Nutrition Coach Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Do NOT sign any renewal contract before you try" January 21, 2023 2.0 I spent a decent chunk of money (~$650) to simply try out the program for 3 months; 1 week in I knew it wouldn't work for my needs, but gave it the ol' college try to see if it would grow on me. They didn't have recurring appointments, so I would need to log in daily to add in my recurring clients in advance so those slots didn't fill. Fair enough, it just doesn't suit my needs at the moment.Since I've decided that this program didn't suit my needs/wants, I've been trying to cancel my renewal for over 2 weeks now with no one from customer service getting back to me. There is no way to cancel for myself online, so I've been reaching out to customer service with phone calls & emails, as well as the people who helped me through onboarding (who were wonderful along the way btw) but no one is getting back to me with a solution. The one response I got from my onboarding person was not the answer to my question, but rather a link to book an appointment with her, with her only availability being after my renewal date. Not impressed with the follow through on this! Kinda feels like they do the work to get you into a subscription, but none of the work to keep you happy once you're past onboarding!If the cancelling hasn't been such a hassle, I wouldn't have a negative thing to say about this assuming it meets your needs for your business, it's decent looking, has billing and scheduling etc, but it should NOT be this difficult to talk to someone. Pros It looked nice (branding etc) it appeared to encompass all aspects of a what a gym would need to operate. Onboarding people were very nice and helpful. Cons Layout of customer app wasn't great, had less tech-savvy customers have issues booking an appointment because it wasn't a super smooth process. Didn't have recurring appointments when I signed on (it's currently in beta), didn't have different location booking for separate training areas when multiple clients need booking for the same timeslot.

The team are great and get to solving any problems relatively quickly. Pros Ease of use from back end and for members to access app and make payment and bookings Cons \-member progress tracking with dates of when the data was obtained, metrics like weight, BMI, visceral fat %, body fat % etc. Alternatives considered [Vagaro](https://www.capterra.com/p/153752/Vagaro/)[Mindbody](https://www.capterra.com/p/40229/MINDBODY/) Reason for choosing ABC Glofox Seemed to have good reviews and good customer support and branded app feature which was user friendly.

Director Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Amazing!" March 10, 2020 5.0 Love it!!!! :) Pros A perfect solution for my business. I was a MBO user for several years, but unfortunately the branded mobile app was dated and had limited functionality, it was also super expensive and costs increasing year on year was just not affordable for my business. I started off on the standard plan, but as I like things branded to me and my business I had to upgrade, and this just ended up costing the business hefty sums which we could not afford. Glofox were pretty easy to set up and get started with and they even helped me migrate my clients over. It's been pretty much smooth sailing and the customer support team have been EXTREMELY HELPFUL. You can have calls with the very happy and efficient team and they are willing to help and follow up on your requests. What I like the most and most looking forward in the future to is new features. They are constantly updating the software and adding new features in which makes it a great piece of software to work with and it's great for my clients too. Everything is branded to me, I like that we have a News section in the app and a store where I can sell my merchandise. We can create events as we put on workshops and masterclasses throughout the year. Looking forward to working with these guys more to take my business to new levels. Thanks guys, I'm soo happy I joined you! :) Highly recommended! Cons A few scheduling problems on the app - being looked at now, and reporting features, however new reports are being added.

So far pretty good, I am still getting the hang of using the system with customers as it does seem like you have to allow them to run into issues before everything works smoothly. Pros I found my onboarding coach incredibly helpful and really available to email for help and schedule meetings with. She really helped me to understand the system and be able to use it in a way that will work for my business as I was quite overwhelmed by it all and would have been lost without her help. Cons I feel like there are some costs and features that aren't well explained in order to possible get extra add ons purchased. Some features seem a bit overcomplicated.

As someone who has never had any business experience before, this whole process was overwhelming however \[sensitive content hidden\] managed to make every situation simple, he was always there to answer any questions straight away and never left me waiting. he gave me great advice and i cant thank him enough!

Owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Run Away Fast" September 26, 2022 1.0 I went with GloFox after talking with \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] and seeing a demo, comparing to other products, and reading reviews. Once I signed on with the product- everything changed and what \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] promised from the start did not happen. Training was tedious, disjointed, and incorrect. We had to go back and rework things several times because the trainer did not take the time to understand my business before talking me through set up. Once operating, support does not respond, glitches in the system do not allow my processes to happen and I then need to take extra time to do things manually, I have been charged for things that i did not receive and no one one will refund me, web integrations make my website look archaic, they are dysfunctional, and GloFox will explore options to improve. Not sure where the good reviews came from so I feel obligated to help others to stay away from this product. I am so deeply embedded in GloFox right now, it is going to take me a lot of time to dig out of it, but i will be switching products. Stay away from GloFox. Pros the app works well and is easy for the user, everything else is a nightmare Cons I went with this product because the demo call was promising and GloFox had good reviews. Once I began using it, training was horrific, web integration is archaic, the systems management on the admin end is complicated and time consuming, GloFox is unable and unwilling to alter its system to fit the needs of its customer in any way, i end up doing most of the work manually because GloFox is not compatible and does not work Customer service is not supportive and will not respond, if they do the do not help. Once I signed my contract, I became a nuisance to the staff, communication is poor, and they would rather push me away than try to help.

Owner Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "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.

Studio Owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "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. Review Source DN Dominic N. Manager Sports Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "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...

Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "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!

Operations Manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Managing Studios Made Easy" August 29, 2019 5.0 About 80% of our payments are now through recurring subscriptions. This has helped us increase our retention rate. Another big plus has been the ability to measure our marking efforts through the Facebook Pixel. In a nutshell it has been easy to use, our customers are happy and the software has given us information on how to grow more consistently. When ever I have trouble it is really easy to contact the support team which has been very helpfull. Pros Their Facebook Pixel has allowed us to measure our acquisition cost and take better decisions on our digital marketing efforts. I love that it is easy to schedule classes, set up membership plans and visualize basic revenue data. This leaves me time study the numbers and work on improving my KPIs. As an extra point our customers love the our Glofox personalized App and it has been really easy to integrate the system into our webpage. Cons Although I get basic information, I could use more detailed reports. They still have a way to go in allowing customers to book a specific spot in a class and other minor plug ins... but I don’t have any mayor complaints.

Yoga Studio Owner/Manager Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Glitch after glitch after glitch after glitch" August 31, 2017 2.0 It taught me what I want and what I do not want, and for that I am appreciative. Pros It is visually appealing. It has many options from the administrative side that, if they worked, would be great, such as applying memberships to different kinds of classes and doing custom charges to people's accounts. At first, we were in contact with their support team often...at first. Some of the initial glitches were removed when we began doing their new Beta but it didn't change much at all, honestly. Cons They make a ton of promises they can't keep. Mostly pertaining to "self sign-in". I have over 1000 clients at my yoga studio. Every single day at least 10 of them (the ones that haven't given up trying) tell me they couldn't book a class, couldn't apply their membership to a class, etc. Quite annoying. Also, GloFox has double-charged MULTIPLE students with no evidence on our end. Students have come up to me and shown me bank statements that I had 2x charges that were invisible from my side of the world. Scary. Whoops, GloFox! I want to say their customer service is good but they make tons of promises they can't keep there either. "We'll fix it ASAP"...no call back, no fix. There is also no way of using an iPhone/iPad with this software from our administrative end. No admin app at all. Just a glitch-tastic (but visually appealing) app for users. Anyways, I could go on. Just don't go with GloFox if you're trying to be professional/successful. If you're just trying to save money, you'll get what you pay for with this one. Review Source Response from ABC Fitness February 8, 2022 Hi Maggie, Thank you for your feedback, and we apologize for not delivering the solutions you needed while you were with Glofox. Since that time, we have launched a Kiosk system that makes checking and booking in for members easy and efficient. We now have an admin app available for staff, and we have resolved the stability issues that you've reported.
