Digital Marketing Manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A good, cost effective choice" September 25, 2018 5.0 It provided a way for our clients to schedule their own appointments, which saved us time. It also served as a point of sale for retail products in store. Those two services where very useful. Pros I liked how versatile this software was. It allowed us to track and schedule appointments yes, but it also served as a POS as well. That functionality really saved us. Cons It is a large piece of software that can be complicated and intimidating at first. It required some significant training for new hires to operate it accuratley.

I hava MBA in Management Information Systems. I practically never write reviews but I am so fed up with the issues and lack of integration with a normal workflow setup just to book a client appointment. It does not allow you to block out a range of time on the schedule. Your only option is a 'business closed' configuration item for the entire day. You have to manually enter in every single compensation rate for your staff for each item and service provided. You have to update each staff everytime you add a new service. Any change requires several updates. It doesn't allow you have multiple sessions treatments without a range for the pricing for that service. This is not client friendly as clients want to know that for a 3 session Microdermabrasion treatment, what is the fixed price, not a range of pricing. If your business closes at 7pm, appointments cannot be booked at 7pm by the client unless you extend your business hours. They do not fix any issues for you, it is against company policy so the client can never say that they did something wrong. What a ridiculous response. They make you do all of the configuration and they cannot solve an issue. You have to manually enter in every service and price unless you pay additional money for another vendor to do an upload for you. The prices do not show automatically for each service online. It only shows the service. Customers want to see the price of the service at the time they are booking online. If you rebook, reschedule, modify a client appointment, they may or may not get a notification. It is sporadic as far as the function working properly. You cannot send out a confirmation manually. You have to cut and paste the clients email and send out your own email. Or write down the appointment, do an early cancel for the appointment and then rebook the appointment. You cannot select the option to send a new client sms or email notifications until after the first appointment is booked and their profile is completely set up and saved. This should be an option to activate at the same time you are scheduling a new client. Don't let me start on the janky app. Pllleeaassee.. I have decided to cancel my account and move on. Do not bother with this software. Some blockhead who has never run a Day Spa has created this. Spend money on a different software. Do not sign up with Mind Body. They are out of their Mind. Review Source FC Frances C. Owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Limited & Expensive" March 22, 2024 2.0 Pros Originally, I really liked all of the gadgets they had to help streamline the check in and check out process, but the equipment they sent was slow and worked poorly after a short time of use. Cons They were VERY expensive. All of the upgrades that were really desired for the business were too expensive to be cost effective. Reason for choosing Mindbody We we new and it seemed like a great option when I spoke with the sales rep. Review Source BB Brad B. trainer Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Mindful of the features" November 3, 2023 4.0 Pros Easy management of client information in dealing Cons the payment processing can be somewhat lacking in functionality Review Source CM Christie M. Owner Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Small Businesses Beware" February 25, 2021 4.0 For the first couple of years it was fine. It was easy. It took a little bit of time for my students to get use to the program, but then it became very easy. Once we had the massive price increase it was REALLY hard for my business because not only did I have to find a new platform, but MINDBODY also housed all of my packages, package counts .... it was a horrible mess for MONTHS. I would not recommend this company to any small business company OR anyone who wants or expects quality or even GOOD customer service. Pros The software was very easy to use, loved that I had my own ap. Made booking for my clients very easy and made the appearance of my company look and feel welcoming, inviting and legit. Cons I was with MindBody for over 3 years and then they restructured their company. The sent a letter out about a price increase that was "coming". When I received my letter of price increase .... it was not a PRICE INCREASE it was a gauge into a small business. It was a price increase of 300%. Not a type-o ... 300%!!!!! I called them multiple times and asked, begged them to adjust the pricing to help a small business. Their response .... "sorry its our new policy". The big issue was that I wanted to keep my existing app that was already created, already hosted and they wanted to charge me a ridiculous price to also keep my app active and online. Review Source JW Jackie W. Owner Automotive Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Winning back lost customers!" July 13, 2016 5.0 We are in the Automotive business and we have been using Frederick for over a year. Once you get it all set up, it just does it's thing. Someone else said, "set it and forget it" and it is really true. Also, if we want to send out something like a mid-week special at the last minute, it takes me about 5 minutes to get it done. Very easy to use. More importantly, in the last 6 months, we have had 5 customers return to see us from a Frederick "lost customer" email and the average ticket is $964.40! Not only is the customer spending money, but we also have another opportunity to WOW that customer and keep them coming back. Pros You can use the parts of the program that work for you and turn off items that you don't want to use. The lost customer portion of the program is really working for us. The reporting section has lots of information. Cons Frederick won't allow you to send out an email to everyone at once, like if you had a big announcement that you wanted all your customers to receive at the same time. I do hear that they are working on incorporating this feature into the program. Review Source Response from Mindbody September 20, 2016 Hi Jackie, Wow - thank you for the incredible review! It makes us so happy to hear that Frederick is helping Precision Auto with customer retention and ROI. And yes you are right, regarding sending an email to all clients at one time - this feature will be released very shortly! Stay tuned :) Thank you, Aly JD Jasmine D. Used the software for: ### "DONT DO IT!!" April 17, 2017 1.0 I absolutely do not recommend Mindbody! First off their system is complex and not user friendly and if you're a small business owner, time is not something you have a lot of. The "training sessions" you're required to do are time consuming. The sales team will do anything to get a sale! Even if it means lying to you about their product and services. Not to mention, they charge a large upfront cost and once you finish the "training sessions" and you learn that the product is not for your business, they will give you the run around and will refuse to refund you! Their left hand doesn't know what their right hand is doing. For instance, they purchased the company HealCode that constructs the branded web tools for Mindbody. So inorder to get a widget on your website you have to go through their HealCode Web Tools. HealCode has all of these beautiful widget layouts that they advertise but they don't offer them (false advertising). I spoke to atleast 4 different technical support agents and all of them state that all widgets need CSS coding to make the layout beautiful. But if you specifically asked the sales team this, and they say CSS is not needed for customizations, then they are lying! I cancelled my subscription exactly 2 weeks after establishing the account. I've been going through hell to get my companies money back. I even submitted a complaint through the BBB. Mindbody keeps trying to offer a discount or a credit. And to believe I was so excited to do business with them is a disgrace. They have too many point of contact representatives, too many emails, too many steps, it's just not user friendly. Instead I've decided to go with Schedulicity, and it's the best decision for my company and employees. I will leave my review on every site possible. Pros Nothing Cons Everything Review Source Response from Mindbody April 21, 2017 Hi Jasmine, Thank you for sharing your experience with MINDBODY. Our Terms of Service do state that all services must be paid for in advance and are non-refundable. In regards to your concerns about needing to code your own widget, our branded web tools do require CSS coding, but our team is equipped and able to do that coding for our subscribers. We do see that you were able to cancel your account with us on March 30 and we understand that you have many options for business management software. We wish you and your business success, and if there is anyway we can help you in the future, please send us an email at reviews@mindbodyonline.com. GAC Gillian Alexandria C. Owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Keeps Improving" August 26, 2019 5.0 18 years and I'm still using the product. That's a good track record. Pros MindBody keeps improving its software, increasing functionality continually over the years. I've been a customer for 18 years (since it was OmSoft) and before cloud computing existed to consumers. As a database, MindBody makes it easy for customers and staff to interface with it. Mindbody's simplicity on the front end is user-friendly. On the back end, the phone support has been helpful for hundreds of calls. Cons MindBody needs to improve it's auto-generated emails--the look (which needs to incorporate more unique preference options) as well as up-sell functionality, so that studio owners like me can more simply funnel new clients into buckets that distinguish them and their purchses so that new specified auto-generated emails can reach them at the right time. Reason for choosing Mindbody Price. Increased functionality. Review Source CM Christian M. Mental Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Not that great" July 26, 2015 2.0 I used MindBody online for a small yoga and meditation school in Paris, France. Since the client facing site turned out not be fully translatable (something that we were promised several times over before singing up) we ended up only using the software back-office. MindBody online has been capable of doing most of what we expected it to do. However it is slow and unnecessarily complicated. It is an ageing platform that gives the impression of a patchwork rather than a coherent whole. In my opinion, the product MindBody delivers does note quite live up to the the image they market. I advice anyone considering MindBody to first have a look at their competitors and only opt for MindBody if this software has a crucial feature that the others do not have. I believe that MindBody was one of the first in this segment, but nowadays there are many modern alternatives. We used MindBody for more than three years and have now switched to Front Desk, a choice that we do not regret. Pros \- Versatile with a lot of features - MindBody Online as a company has an excellent self confidence and a well funded marketing department - Reasonable pricing Cons \- Slow to work with unintuitive - Ageing architecture, incoherent and partially outdated layout - Poor and unresponsive customer service - The software is not well suited to be translated to other languages Review Source Response from Mindbody September 10, 2015 Thank you for your review. We're sorry that your time with us did not meet your expectations. We would love to talk to you more about your experience to determine how we can improve our services. Please email reviews@mindbodyonline.com with your contact information and we will have a representative reach out to you as soon as possible. VR Verified Reviewer Student Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Useful app" July 29, 2019 5.0 Pros I like how I can incorporate all of the workouts I like into one app. I can view all the schedules at the same time and even look for new workouts to try. Cons The app occasionally quits and closes out out of nowhere, but is usually fine once I go back in. Review Source SR Siddharth R. Senior ETL Developer Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very self intuitive app" November 2, 2023 4.0 Overall, I used it to log in my work out days and help me track the same. Pros I used this app as part of my crossfit routine. It's pretty self intuitive and I used it to keep track of how many days i went to the gym in a particular month. Cons I can't think of any functionality that was missing(based on my usage) Review Source MK Mariana K. Spa manager/esthetician Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Switched back" August 26, 2019 5.0 All in one software. It was important to me that I could run reports, do payroll, credit card processing, scheduling, e-commerce, and marketing all in one place. Pros Scheduling made easy but my favorite part is how much faster it is for me to do payroll. Has all the features we could want and more. Cons There are a lot of steps to do certain things and it really takes someone who knows the software to set things up and update things. I know the program pretty well now and can navigate through but some of my employees still fumble around. This could also be due to them not taking othe time to do the trainings included. Reason for choosing Mindbody Needed HIPAA compliant software and all in one platform. Switched from [Phorest](https://www.capterra.com/p/113530/Phorest-Salon-Software/) frëckle had Mindbody years ago and it didn’t have all the features it has now. Then we had Booker and switched to Phorest because Booker didn’t have ease of use. Phorest was even worse. Switched to Mindbody because we are now a medical spa and needed a HIPAA compliant software. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Manufacturing Engineer Defense & Space Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Has made booking classes extremely easy" October 23, 2018 5.0 Pros I used mindbody online all the time to book classes at my local pole dancing studio and it makes booking classes extremely easy. I just pull up the studio off of my favorites, and it has all of the information that I need: class descriptions, times, instructor name, and how many slots are available. I can also sign up for a waitlist if a class is full. Cons It'd be nice if mindbody online also showed classes that I signed up for but did a late cancel on. Since most local fitness studios around here (in SLC, UT) charge you a fee for late cancellations or no-shows, it'd be helpful to see which classes I got charged for. Review Source NM Nicholas M. Utilities Supervisor Utilities Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Review of Mindbody" January 20, 2023 3.0 Pretty good. The bugs are annoying and slow us down but the idea of it is perfect. Pros the scheduling works great and makes it really easy to schedule our appointments. Cons It can be a bit slow at times and has several bugs. Review Source CB Cheryl B. OWNER OPERATOR Alternative Medicine Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Been with them since the beginning" October 21, 2021 2.0 Back in 2016, they had amazing support. You could call and reach someone anytime day or night. By 2018 support diminished and became challenging. NOW in 2021, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO REACH ANYONE. I get it that covid affected everyone. But to continue to pay VERY high subscription fees with little to NO SUPPORT is ridiculous. At this point, I feel trapped. I have so many records in this software I can't leave so here I am stuck in HELL. WITH NO SUPPORT WHATSOEVER. I cant even get payment processing support?!?!?! HOW CAN THIS BE. I literally HATE mindbody. Pros I liked all parts of this software. It helps me schedule, process payments and do payroll. Cons SUPPORT. Glitches in software function EVERY.SINGLE.DAY. Reason for choosing Mindbody AT THE TIME they had great support Review Source SS Savi S. Manager Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great potential but no sense of progression. " January 20, 2019 2.0 Pros This computer version of the software has the basic necessities of booking appointments on the schedule and tracking employee data. The web version of the software seems easy to navigate and use. I think that the package and membership functions are solid for retaining clients. Cons Overall, our company is not satisfied with MindBody's service because they did not provide a solution to minor tweaks that should have already been implemented in the past. We are paying for their top-level package that includes the branded app which has many design flaws. One of the main flaws includes the fact that clients cannot book multiple services within the app. They have to go back and schedule each service one by one on the appointment scheduler. Second flaw is that our client base is confused about which one of our locations they have selected. When you first download the app, the initial screen prompts you to set your default branch. Afterwards, the default location must be changed manually which is confusing for our clients. I requested MindBody to make the small change that prompts user which branch they want to select every single time that the clients open the app so our clients are clear where they are booking. I wish it was clarified in the beginning about the lack of functionality options the app would have. If you have salon businesses, please beware of certain design and workflow flaws that may present themselves using MindBody. We are in the service industry and just want what's best for our clients. If a software/app like this is going to hinder growth and customer satisfaction, then I'd be a fool to continue to pay for sub-par and regressive business solution. Review Source Yvonne S. Yoga Studio Owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Mindbody" August 30, 2018 4.0 I have had incredible service with MB management. They are quick to resolve problems. Pros I love the intuitive function of the MB software and that it is constantly evolving to meet the needs of their customers and changing technology. Cons It seems like the software has glitches, reboots, or down time on a semi-regular basis. I also wish that there was a way to prevent clients from creating duplicate accounts. I know we can merge them and we get a notification but it's kind of a pain. Review Source HF Hillary F. Administrative Assistant Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to Use, Streamlines Communication" July 7, 2022 5.0 Overall, mindbody has been a really great tool for scheduling and client communication! Pros I like how streamlined the communication between the client and the service provider becomes using this app. It makes life easier for both parties by making is simple to change your appointment/reservation, cancel with the push of a button, send confirmations and reminders! Cons Not everyone has the app, and that sometimes causes a lag in communications - but it's not often that this is a problem. Review Source JF Julian F. Principal and CEO Performing Arts Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Review of MindBody online" June 23, 2022 5.0 Very good! It’s a great all round package. Pros It solved nearly all our problems. It does payroll , billing and scheduling very will Cons The mobile app has limited functionality. The statements are sometimes complicated for reasons that I cannot understand. There is a learning curve for non administrative users. Reason for choosing Mindbody I had a consultant help me with my choice Review Source JN Jessica N. SLP E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Frequent User" February 15, 2022 5.0 Overall I have had a really pleasant experience with Mindbody and will continue using it. Pros I really enjoy how Mindbody simplifies the tedious task of scheduling appointments over the phone or in person by eliminating that need completely. In this day and age, many people prefer looking at the whole schedule or options online and schedule them in that way, and Mindbody really achieves that goal. They also send reminders and can facilitate payment and cancellations through the website as well. Cons The only drawback is that if there is a discrepancy, one would have to contact the business directly as Mindbody is a third party and cannot reverse incorrect charges or waivers. Review Source EH Emily H. Massage therapy Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "So relaxing, knowing, its all set. " August 4, 2022 5.0 I love it and would highly recommend it. It made everything easy, including tax time, so I could be with the customers and not to fumble around in software issues. Pros I found the deeply functional, from appointment to check out, service of this software to be something I could not live without. I found adding items on from the product line easy and the customer loved the ease of the screen, from appointments, purchases, and tips, private and secure, and fast. Cons It took a while to set up each clinician's account but then flew. Review Source VB Vivian B. owner Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Not for Children's Programs" September 26, 2019 2.0 Terrible experience. We had explained to the sales rep that we were opening a children's playspace, at which point they should have told us that this software would be incompatible with our needs, due to the fact that an individual email address is required for each child and those young children do not have email addresses! Our company paid to onboard for a few months, in addition to purchasing the hardware needed to run MINDBODY. We paid monthly service fees but were never able to use the program. When we finally came to realize that it was incompatible with our business needs, we were forced to pay for one additional month of service (based on the contract we had signed in good faith that this was a good fit for our company). In addition, we had to return the hardware we had purchased in order to use the Mindbody software and lost money on that transaction as well. Mindbody claims to "display integrity in word and action and hold ourselves and our teams accountable ", however, in our case, this most certainly did not happen. Mindbody never apologized, refused to let us out of our contract graciously sticking to their 1-month notice plolicy" even though they knew that, based on our specific needs, that the software was a terrible match. Pros We don't know because we were never told that this software is not capable of registering children for classes without having to create fake emails and passwords for each child. The support team member who was onboarding us kept leading us on, saying that there were ways to work around that problem, but in the end, there was not. It cost us weeks of lost time and money. Cons The software did not have the ability to register children for classes without having to create fake emails and passwords for them. Review Source BR Bridgett R. Owner Consumer Goods Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A Whole New Experience " December 10, 2022 5.0 Pros This software is truly one of a kind. They offer so many different features that it would take a while to check them all out but I don't believe anyone would be disappointed here. They offer fitness, business management, support for managers and workers alike to collaborate with people just like from all over to talk to about different aspects of their jobs. Cons There is nothing that I dislike about this software. Review Source LO Lainey O. Manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Mindbody makes running and operating a multi-revenue​ business easy!" May 8, 2019 5.0 Pros Mindbody makes running and operating a multi-revenue​ business easy. Especially when it comes to client management, personal trainers and their appointments​, classes schedules and roster, and our POS system. The software is able to generate many different reports to keep track of KPIs, clients, marketing/promotions, and more! We also love they have an additional platform for clients to explore other businesses using this software because​ it allows us exposure to a demographic with interests​ that align with our business​. Cons Since there is so much opportunity to customize to your needs as a business there are a ton of different buttons and pathways to understand the settings and make changes; however, thankfully we have a consultant we work with that is always available via a quick phone call to help us walk through it all. Review Source Anthony F. F. President and CEO Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Our company's main daily software for everything we do." February 15, 2018 5.0 Organization and ease of day-to-day business operations. Pros Everything. It's almost an all-in-one. We use it for scheduling, inventory, cashier, and online store services. Love it and whenever there's an issue, call their customer service- they are extremely helpful! Cons There are some bugs (very minor and rare occurrences) that happen. We report them but they're not always fixed, most likely because they don't come up often- but they should still be addressed.
