Glofox Reviews Recently Reviewed!
Happy i made the switch to Glofox!
Pros: I like the visual appeal and layout of the software and how easy it makes it for people to book in online but also how easy it makes it for me to be able to allow clients to buy online courses and workshops as well as classes. (Senior account executive) contacted me initially when i was setting up in business but at that stage i had signed up with MBO and I wasn't going to change but fast forward a year and I actually got in touch with rep to talk about their software as my online sales weren't as strong as I wanted them to be. The changeover was made as painless as it could be, a lot of the credit for this has to go to my account manager and his customer support team, who are very good at what they do and I speak with rep on a regular basis which helps greatly when like me you're trying to grow your business. The partnership between Glofox and Yoga Alliance Professionals is also a big plus for me but in relation to growing my business, nothing tops having our own custom studio app which i am delighted to say is now starting to perform really well ( not much use having an app if you don't know how to utilise it or promote it and for this i have to thank account manager for showing me the way). i now feel like i have software that matches my ambitions for my business. It hasn't all been plain sailing but what is!. I really believe in Glofox and can see them going from strength to strength in the future.
Cons: The cons that i have experienced are simple, sometimes the software suffers from bugs but i know that Glofox work hard to eradicate this and in my experience the customer support team always have a solution to help you navigate around this until they find the problem so for me it's something i can live with as the updates and new additions to the software plus the fact that i can see through their reports, exactly where my business is growing.

Hi Stephen! Great to hear that you're delighted with your decision to switch from Mindbody. It's been an absolute pleasure working with you and there's nothing better than watching your business grow and succeed! Yours in wellness, The Glofox Team
Watch out MindbodyOnline, there's a new kid on the block!
Comments: 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!

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for writing a review. We appreciate the kind words!
It's been an absolute pleasure to work with you and the team at Personal Health. Also, very exciting to see the results you've achieved in such a short space of time!

Outstanding Product, Excellent Customer Service
Likely Extremely
Pros: I like pretty much everything. My members get a really modern app with a ton of features that allow them to manage their own schedule and not have to constantly contact me for bookings or payments. I get a lot of easy to use features that automate a lot of the repetitive tasks I have been doing, plus its really easy to see how your business is doing with the reporting tool. It also auto charges clients on a monthly basis so I don't have to chase payments. And their support team basically did all the setup for me walking me through everything. they are super helpful!
Cons: I like everything about it. I can't think of how they could improve it.
Overall: I could not be happier. I have set up software for Fitness studios and gyms I have worked at and have used in my own studio when I setup, so I have experience with a lot of software in the fitness market. But Glofox has it all, and the customer service is brilliant. They offer apps for your clients to check-in and update their info, they offer engagement tools and detailed reports for me to run my business. It has everything we could ever want. The best part of the software is the regular and constant updates they are putting into it. They are ahead of the curve with what is needed to help grow my business and give me the tools I need to do that. Big thumbs up, great job team Glofox
Recommendations to other buyers: I love it and highly recommend it. Its tailored to help my business grow and improve my members experience. All my members love it, they love how it's so useful to them and how professional and easy to use it is.

Very happy with our experience and decision to utilize Glofox as our fitness studio software.
Likely Extremely
Pros: From the very start the experience has been better than expected. The sales department immediately returned our call when initially inquiring about the software. They provided the answers to all our questions and scheduled a demo as soon as possible since we were on an aggressive timeline of trying to open our studio within 6 weeks of contacting Glofox. From onboarding, to setting things up, to getting us rolling within that timeframe was very impressive. Our questions while implementing were answered in a timely fashion and the online knowledge based articles they have on the product are very helpful and provided recorded steps of a lot of the task which make it even easy to implement. The smartphone app that comes with the package has been a blessing in disguise as it saves time and man hours allowing the members to see and schedule classes, pay for memberships, purchase merchandise, see studio news and updates right from the palm of their hands! Our members love the ease and use of the app not to mention us as small business owners. Last but not lease our post sales have been very impressive at this point and we believe the Glofox application has played a big role since it puts our business right in the hands of the potential and now members of our fitness studio. In the first week, we already have 31 members signed up for one our various packages via the app. As of this writing another 17 potential members have downloaded the app. Not to bad for the first week in business
Cons: There should be a way of modifying or even copying and pasting certain things within the dashboard like memberships, classes, etc...
Overall: Saved time, effort,man-hours on administrative task.

Hi Carlos,
Thanks for taking the time to write a fantastic review of Glofox! Your feedback is really important to us, so thanks for sharing.
Yours in fitness,
The Glofox Team
Terrific service and support. Overall, extremely worth the investment!
Likely Extremely
Pros: Glofox won me over and from here on out, the support has been terrific - so accommodating to the needs of my business and eager to answer questions and solve problems.
I've managed to cut out a lot of tedious tasks that were eating up my time like membership management and keeping track of bookings etc. It's great to finally have these automations in place that keep my business running smoothly each day and be able to track the growth we're making. Not to mention, my members are delighted to have the option to book into a class through the app. Such a simple change that makes everyone's life easier.
Cons: Not really a con, but for any business owners questioning if Glofox is worth the cost, the answer is yes. It's worth it. The Glofox team will care for your business on your journey to success and won't toss you aside once the sale is over. The quality of their software, their continued support and the simplicity of their service for me and my members is more than I could have asked for.
Overall: Having come from no previous management system, Glofox was a God send for us! To begin with, the sales rep I spoke with was very helpful, he asked me what my problems were, what I wanted to achieve and worked with me on figuring out the best way to accomplish them as opposed to pushing a software in my face.
Once we jumped into the demo, ease of use was the key reason I went with Glofox. I demoed quite a few softwares before finding Glofox and I couldn't believe how difficult they seemed to grasp. I needed to get rid of the headache of managing bookings and it just seemed like these other softwares were going to add to that headache.
Recommendations to other buyers: Take advantage of the unlimited free training sessions!

Hi Jarrah,
Thanks for taking the time to right a review!
We're glad that you found the demo really helpful and It's great to hear that you're finding the software really simple to use - we consider 'ease of use' as one of our greatest strengths against alternatives in the market, so it's great to hear you reinforce it!
Yours in fitness,

Happy we made the switch!
Likely Extremely
Comments: We spent a long time researching different studio software options and Glofox has definitely helped us make big technological strides forward from the app to check in kiosk capabilities. Though the retail aspects are second tier, these aren't our top priorities either at the moment. Would definitely recommend trying the demo and exploring Glofox to other yoga studios.
Pros: The interface for both our staff and students has been far more intuitive and easy to use than our last program. The reporting is clear and the app has inspired more online bookings for classes. Check in is starting to run more smoothly giving our teachers more time to focus on class and less time dealing with frustrations with a clunky system at the desk. The way the system is set up also allows individuals to navigate it in different ways that make the most personal sense to them rather than forcing everyone to learn the exact same steps. Customer service has been very attentive and responsive as we've made the transition to Glofox which is much appreciated. We have felt supported through the whole process so far. The more we learn about the program the more customized we've made it to our needs which has been great.
Cons: The only cons so far are minor tech capabilities we're hoping to see evolve soon. You can only sell one retail item at a time, though there are some work arounds. We would also like to be able to check our teachers and staff into class and sell them retail items without creating separate student profiles. In the grand scheme of operations these are small details that haven't derailed us and we look forward to seeing upcoming changes with the program.
Glofox for the Win! The perfect solution for our fitness studio.
Likely Extremely
Pros: -The dashboard is a life saver when it comes to managing my business. I don't have to spend countless hours on admin! I couldn't even imagine going back to tracking bookings, attendances and payments manually.
-Glofox designed an app completely tailored to my brand - so professional looking. A great way to make our studio stand out from the crowd.
-They also designed a booking and payment portal that connects with my website and Facebook page, so members can decide where and when they want to book their next class or make their next purchase. A great user experience!
-The reporting tool has most certainly helped me to make better decisions for the business as I can generate reports on our performance in the click of a button. Even if you're not tech savvy, it's super easy to navigate and understand. If I ever did have a question on some aspect of the product the support team are always available to answer questions.
Cons: Nothing!
Overall: Glofox makes it really easy for me to manage my business day in, day out! The dashboard is straightforward and simple to use, yet powerful enough to do everything I need it to. A great service and a great team of people behind it too!
Recommendations to other buyers: Honestly, well worth the price for their service. It was definitely the right decision for our business. Thanks for everything Glofox!

Hi Nancy,
Thanks for taking the time to write a review of Glofox! We really appreciate it.
It's great to hear such fantastic feedback. Be sure to get in touch if you have any questions whatsoever :)
All the best,
Glofox Support
Committed to helping your business succeed. 10/10 Glofox!
Likely Extremely
Comments: My experience with Glofox has been fantastic. The training was very easy to follow and their support team made sure I had everything I needed to get up and running - very understanding and always happy to help out with any queries.
Pros: The admin dashboard makes it really easy to keep track of my class schedule, memberships, payments and overall member activity. If you want to spend more time than ever before with your clients helping them achieve their goals, you need a system like this! The reporting section of the dashboard makes it effortless to monitor our performance: sales (by class, membership, course or even trainer), first time visits, bookings and attendances etc. This is great for identifying areas of the business that have room for growth. The app itself is so simple for our members to use. They can easily book their class or course and even pay for it straight through the app. If there's an update or news that I need to circulate fast, I can do it with the app, minus the hassle of calling up clients or wondering if they opened the email or not. These push notifications through the app are a great way to promote new classes or courses too. People see our messages on the home screen of their phone almost as soon as we send them and they can book in on the exact same platform. The perfect way to increase bookings and keep the momentum going! Not to mention, a great way to generate new leads. We can promote the app and encourage potential members to download it and get a taste of what we have to offer.
Cons: It would have been great if we found Glofox sooner!
Recommendations to other buyers: Don't overlook a software like this and what it could mean for your business. The team at Glofox are committed to helping you stay ahead of the competition. The value of that alone is so much more than what their competitors have to offer. 10/10 Glofox!
Great!!! Friendly and unstressed. Gave me the confidence to follow my true path.
Likely Extremely
Pros: How easy it really is. Structured so well, that all you have to do is fill in the blanks. I was actually surprised on some of the features because I would have never thought I would need certain things. So it added to my business plan and gave me more knowledge.
The customer service is really great! I believe that is why I went with Glofox. I understand (like everything) that products will evolve and change. Glofox is aware that there may be things that will change, they know the product is great but not perfect. But they are always searching, learning from their clients, they listen and empower clients to have a forward and back dynamic so that they can make this software great and most importantly help people like me to focus on what I do best. Kudos to the support staff, working with you guys made life easy for me, all of you are sincere and genuine which made it easy for me to express and share my aspirations and philosophy with you guys, making this process very seamless and easy. Thank you and I look forward to continue working with you all.
Overall: Less Stress really. You can focus on your strengths and on your clients. Do not have to worry about transactions or being at two places at once. You get more than what you pay for. It helps you to also grow your business and expand in various ways all while keeping stress levels low.

Glofox is a critical part of our daily operations and we couldn't operate without it
Likely Extremely
Pros: It's extremely user friendly and has been simplified to ensure minimum amount of steps required in all customer aspects from booking classes to purchasing memberships. It allows customers to book in at any time of the day or night & allows us to have full transparency of who's attending each and every class.
Cons: Amendments to memberships are cumbersome and require alot of manual input. The new dashboard has excellent features however there were some nice parts of the old dashboard that have been lost which were very useful for our daily management information
Overall: Customer convenience is the biggest advantage. They can view, book and cancel without a messages or calls, back & forth ensuring our administration team don't end up spending their time with bookings and customer queries

Pros: The App
Cons: The web integration
Overall: At the start of using Glofox I was a little apprehensive. There is a fair amount of effort to populate the data. The support I received at the start and ongoing has been exceptional. I feel fully supported by the Glofox team. In particular Stephen, who is absolutely amazing.
The feedback we have been getting from our members has been amazing. Our members have completely embraced Glofox, it's intuitive and allows them to be self sufficient and not dependent on the gym for payments and bookings.
Our team can spend time building relationships with our members instead of having to worry about paperwork, Par-Qs (all fully integrated), payment details, monthly subscriptions etc.
The user experience on the App is great. The back end system for the gym has helped us understand our business and look at opportunities for growth. We can run quick and easy reports, and email all our registered members (over 1000 now!) in one click. It's saved so much time and effort.
Glofox is an investment for your current business and future growth. I would strongly recommend Glofox for your gym.

I love Glofox and can't live without it anymore.
Likely Extremely
Pros: It's beautiful and save me a lot of time. I don't have enough words to describe how much it changed my life and my mental health.
I used to live with Excel sheets and spend a lot of time booking students.
Now I have more time free to talk with possible customers and to work on my studio marketing.
The app is great and easy to use and there's a lot of great things.
I love the push up notifications, the waiting list, the store.
Definately a great choice.
Cons: The app is great but we know how technology works, and yes there's some glitches.
The desktop version very ugly what surprises me after their beautiful app.
And no admin app, using your own app with your admin account you'll have access to some admin functions, a few.
Overall: I have more free time to spend with actual important things instead of spending my life managing my studio.
My sales are improving and my students love the Glofox.

A newer company that has the ability to dominate this industry.
Likely Extremely
Pros: The customer service is beyond what I have ever experienced with any company before. Ever. The software itself looks very clean and professional, moreso than the competition, and that professional image is extremely important to me. Ease of use for my clientele is paramount and they have nailed that. The app that we received is our own branding. It's not a Glofox app, it's a Vernon Yoga app. I like that. And it does more than the industry standard. I like being innovative and Glofox allows me to be ahead of my competition.
Cons: Glofox doesn't yet have a system designed for families to all be one one Member account (but their competition doesn't either). Also, Glofox doesn't yet have employee management capabilities or loyalty programs, but I believe it's on their to-do list. They are well worth the wait.
Overall: My book keeping was on pen and paper before I implemented Glofox. Therefore, we had a huge honour system as far as client payment. Our revenue has increased by a substantial amount simply by having Glofox remind staff and clients when their next payment is due. In addition, Glofox has literally shaved about 2-hours off of my workday. Saving time and money is enough of a benefit for me!

One of the best studio investments I've made!
Likely Extremely
Pros: It organises members, keeps them in constant contact, promotes the studio, sells products, is highly efficient and easy to use. Not only that, there is a great help service which has been available to answer all sorts of mundane questions from me! At all sorts of hours might I add. I'm not the best on computers so this in itself was super helpful. It didn't take me long at all to get the hang of working the system. It is by far one of the best studio investments I've made to date.
Cons: None!
Overall: Glofox is a wonderful system that has helped me in a number of ways to run my studio in an easy, organised fashion. I was hesitant at the start to change my ways, but a year in, it only gets better.
Recommendations to other buyers: The return of saving both time and energy alone is priceless.

More WODs, Less Admin! A++
Pros: Crossfit is all about community and making our athletes feel welcome. Having to ask athletes for their due payments at every session was completely ruining our vibe. The payments aspect of Glofox not only saves me so much time, but I'm no longer losing money because I want to avoid an awkward conversation. Everything is automated. Athletes book in for their WOD through the app, pay through the app and I can easily track all of these details in my Glofox dashboard. Recurring memberships mean I don't have to do anything - ANYTHING. It's so simple, makes such a huge difference to our revenue each month and gives me back a bit of sanity!
Before Glofox my box was run on pen and paper. Not organised and definitely not scalable. If I ever wanted to expand the business I'd need to get my processes together. And that's what I did. When I realized how much money I was actually losing from my pen and paper approach, my decision was made.
The support team were superstars getting me up and running! So happy to help. They have an online knowledge base too that has quick how to articles and videos - so helpful!

How complicated became simple, finally we have a system that helps us generate business!
Pros: This software is customer friendly. It's layout is simple to use and once you understand the functions it's super fast which has meant staff training time is reduced as well as client training also.
I have all the key information I need to hand and when reconciling month end figures and performance it has over halved the time taken and improved the accuracy of reporting 100%.
The staff at Glofox have been fantastic from start all the way to support once we have launched. Marko was our project coordinator and his help and guidance has made the whole transfer feel seemless. The support staff are fast and really great at helping sort any queries we may have. The connection with stripe is working really well and has actually massively helped our cash flow as opposed to confusing direct debit charges and payment frequency's.
I'm yet to establish something wrong with this system and if we identify any areas that need adjusting the team at Glofox already seem ahead of the game.
The web integration is the easiest I've seen, having used mindbody previously I was astounded as to how simple this is, we can share direct links, you tube videos etc.
Cons: We are nearly and Month an Half into our full launch and as of yet I can't find anything I don't like about it.
Looks great - Easy to use - great value
Likely Extremely
Pros: From a yoga studio owner perspective I love...
1. The customer service - having an actual human I can contact in case I need support who can respond quickly. A revelation!!!
2. Ease of use for my clients - the system is super intuitive and 98% of clients just started using it without any further queries or issues.
3. Ease of use as a manager - quick and easy to update, it is very straightforward compared to similar yoga studio management software out there. No hidden boxes or options - it just does what I need it to do!
4. Coming from a pen and paper system Glofox has saved me so far on average 5 hours of admin time a week.
5. Price - WAY better value for money compared to its competitors. Depending on subscription level it is much cheaper OR includes much more functionality than the leading yoga studio CRM.
Cons: As it has not been around THAT long compared to other yoga studio CRM software there are some functionalities that still need to be added but there are always workarounds and I have 100% faith in the Glofox team that they will catch up in the next months (they are pretty ace!).

Viable but slightly an incomplete product.
Likely Extremely
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...
Glofox's software is easy to use and their customer service is second to none.
Likely Extremely
Pros: When we were in the exploratory stage trying to find the right software for our gym, we sought to find a product that was cost effective, user-friendly, adaptable, and came with responsive support. We couldn't be more pleased with the ways that Glofox has delivered on those categories and exceeded our expectations.
Cons: I'm not sure we have had enough time with it to find any faults for the applications that we'd like to use it for. The only drawbacks I could foresee would have to do with adapting a service within the app to meet a unique need we have as a Recreation Ministry. I'm confident that we would receive support to assist us in meeting that need though.
Overall: The Glofox app has taken our gym to the next level. We really needed a way to connect with our members in an effective way as well as concentrate our information into an easy to access forum. Glofox has enabled us to do that in a far more cost effective way than having a custom-designed app from a non-specialized software company. Since they focus on gym owners and operators, they offer you solutions that you might not even realize that you have yet and walk with you through each step of the process. I would recommend their services to anyone who wants to grow their client base, have less overhead and automate their administrative and scheduling processes.

Hi Jacob,
Thanks for sharing your experience! It's been a pleasure working with you and the team at Dawson Recreation Ministry.
Yours in fitness,
The Glofox Team
Partnering with Glofox has been the single best decision we have made in our business.
Likely Extremely
Pros: We made the mistake of trying to manage our own CRM when we launched our gym. Within 4 weeks of opening we realized this was a huge mistake. We considered many platforms and software company partners to improve our efficiency. The Glofox integrated platform for booking, communication, CRM and payments has given our customers a fantastic experience, interface and reliability when booking and paying. For us it saves us countless hours each week, works efficiently on the go, in the gym and literally on the studio floor whilst coaching. Every technology has an occasion gremlin but if so any problem is quickly remedied by their great team, who work as hard for you, as you do for your own customers.
Cons: Our own company branded Glofox app, the most expensive solution, did take slightly longer than we hoped to get finished, only a few days late, mainly because of Apple app store slowness but it was worth the wait in the end.
Fantastic software and support team!
Likely Extremely
Pros: The ease of the booking system as well as the integrations!
Cons: I wouldn't say there's anything I dislike, but would love to see some sort of forum/group that our members can comment/post onto!
Overall: When my business partner and I decided to open up our own fitness studio last month we knew that we would need some sort of booking software/client management system. After trying a few trials/demo periods from different companies, we came across glofox and decided to give it a try.
Honestly after 10 mins of trying out the software, I loved it straight away! I booked onto a demonstration call with Richard and got set up very easily!
We did run into a couple of issues where there was an issue with the crossover from trial account to the premium version. This caused issues for us as the whole system was down for a few days.
Credit where it's due, the guys were in contact with us daily to update us on the problem and how to fix it. We were booked onto a 'call' where the support team identified and fixed the problem immediately, turning out to be something minor.
Since then, we've had no problems! Our clients are loving the app and we are too! Highly recommend!
Oh, and the price? Definite value for money!
Recommendations to other buyers: As mentioned above, I'd like to see the forum feature added so that we can engage with clients through the app in a community/group setting as opposed to using Facebook!

Great to hear of your positive experience with Glofox! Could you say it was.. love at first sight?
We appreciate the product feedback too - we'll pass this on to our development team!

Fantastic service. Extremely happy with the product and my entire experience with the Glofox team.
Likely Extremely
Pros: From the moment I applied for the demo call, I was sure Glofox was the right option for me. The sales rep I spoke with was Ed, who asked me what my current problems were while running my business. Once I'd outlined them, he showed me how Glofox was able to help me manage everything, take the stress out of the admin end of things and help me free up more time to do what I do...train people.
Once I chose to go ahead with the product, the customer success team were a great help in showing me how to use to app and dashboard to get the most out of it. They were always on hand to help with any questions that I had.
My biggest barrier to going with a management software earlier was cost, and this was one of the big questions I had but once I started the process, it was a no-brainer. The software has already paid for itself by helping me keep track of memberships and reducing lost revenue.

We've really enjoyed learning about your business and we're excited to help you take it to the next level! Yours in fitness, Marko | Customer Success Manager
Looks fantastic. So simple to navigate and use. The customer service/design team are exceptional
Likely Extremely
Pros: I love the reports/statistics, monitoring performance and engaging with our members as a group or 121. The App is so simple to use and so effective from answering an inquiry to booking somebody into a class or taking out a membership. All the icons give you an opportunity to promote your Gym and why you should train at the Fitness Centre. From selling merchandise, protein, PT's, courses and booking classes has saved me so much time. In fact revolutionary. The biggest asset of Glofox is their team. The 121 interaction has been amazing. My customer support has listened to all my challenges, and sorted out solutions on our calls. If not able to sort out the problem he always comes back within 24 hours. Awesome Customer Service. Many companies need to learn from Glofox customer care. Thank You
Cons: Few issues with News /Courses Icon. In a number of occasions it took over 96 hours to remedy. I would like this to be reduced dramatically. Otherwise all positive,

Glofox has helped me automate tasks and free up precious time I need to coach and manage my gym
Likely Extremely
Pros: Customer service is personal and prompt. I feel that my issues are taken seriously and dealt with promptly. I also see that the service continues endlessly to improve
Cons: I would like to be able to force clients to update the App at each new build as this causes issues with Log ins
Overall: Precious time saved and increase in revenues. Clients love the independence from their computers they get from the App. I can get some basic info on class size while away from my computer

Good product with set up help
Likely Extremely
Pros: I like how they offer you the support on set up for 1.5 hours.. It makes my job easier for my clients that I refer over to get their POS software. Easily get your store up and running with some awesome features USA hours and 24/7 customer service which I have not had to use yet..
Cons: Just my personal opinion I just hate to pay a monthly fee but for what you are getting in this package compared to others.. Must say the value is there
Glitch after glitch after glitch after glitch
Likely Extremely
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.
Overall: It taught me what I want and what I do not want, and for that I am appreciative.
Great team poor product
Likely Extremely
Pros: It is visually appealing
Cons: Doesn't work the dysfunctionality just keeps changing ..goes from problem to the next
Overall: Quite mix feelings as we been using Glofox software for 6months during which they had a change in dashboard software. Whist using the previous dashboard we had numerous non functional issues. Such as unable to erase/ change classes , the software would sometime have a mind of its own as we would see the start or finish times of class being altered to nonspecific time therefore we realised it wasn't human error. Then we have the new dashboard 2017 and unfortunately we experience a malfunction every one to two day. These have included historic classes being displayed on the app, all this continues despite the Glofox service team promising resolve the issues. Further problem have been experience with our clients unable to access the credits they paid for against the classes. other clients have had the money automatically taken for courses without authorisation. The Glofox team are very courteous but slow to respond apart rom an auto email stating that they acknowledge the message and will deal in due course. All in all a frustrating experience.
Recommendations to other buyers: When it works properly its great but this is seldom and the Time taken to chase up the team and get it resolved is exhausting

Many thanks for the honest and constructive feedback.
We are aware that the transition to our new dashboard was not as smooth as we would have liked and I am sorry for the inconvenience this caused you.
It was great to speak with you on the phone last week and I am glad that things are going much better for you now.
We will continue to work really hard to deliver for our clients and to continually improve the product. I look forward to getting more feedback from you again in the future.

Excellent support and customized app- they overdelivered and with a very tight timeline
Likely Extremely
Pros: Turn-key, intuitive to work with, And, the team then customized when I need it for the software to align better with our club terminology. You can have great software and then bad support and the whole thing goes south- glopfox is exactly the opposite. The software platform is great but then add a team that executes under a tight timeline- big win and valuable software/partner! Thanks to the customer service team, thank you design team, and the app team you're the best !!! I highly recommend you to anyone!
Cons: No cons really...enhancements? Maybe develope a Quickbooks interface so all sales can import into Quickbooks. Also, maybe add an auto crop feature for picture imports.
Overall: Club membership booking and billing/organization and app

Glofox for Gym Users
Likely Extremely
Pros: Easy to use
Easy to set up classes, courses etc
Easy to see all members in one place
Communicate to all users
Cons: would like to see better reports
For maybe there be an option to have like a clock in key ring or card for members to use when enter the gym
and option to have this on tablet for members to check themselves into class, as a lot of time is wasted on this manually
Zappy the way forward in digital marketing
Comments: We have been with Zappy now just over seven months and our results have been amazing. Up to date software which is so easy to use. From the development stage to the ongoing support has been amazing and i can't recommend them enough if you ever considered availing of Zappy's services. They know exactly what each customer wants and designed our app to our specific needs. Their customer service is some of the best i have ever come across and i have had them returning my calls late on Saturday afternoons before. I can now reach nearly 700 of our members within seconds thanks to Zappy and our well designed app. Keep up the good work!!

Hi Val,
Delighted to hear you're getting on so well with the software and app! It's fantastic to see you reaching your entire member base from the click of a button.
We have new features in development for release in 2016 which we know you'll love:
A new Dashboard with weekly and monthly calendar views, enhanced point of sale, quicker loading time, improved ease of use and enhanced reporting configurations.
Enhanced push notification filters including the ability to target by class attendance, activity and membership type. Also, the launch of a 'community' feature enabling members and or trainers to message each other via your Glofox App. Workout tracking is also in the pipeline.
The development of an Admin and Trainer app so that you can manage your business directly from your mobile phone.
Via a "Check in Kiosk" or an "In App barcode" or key tag.
We'll keep you updated on the launch!
Perfect fit for my classed based fitness business!
Likely Extremely
Pros: Easy for customers to use and pay
Easy for me to set up
Great new leads management feature just launched
Great in app marketing features
Easy website integration
I have recommended this software to a friend and they are switching their entire plaform to Glofox.
Cons: There are a few reports I'm after that I've heard are on the way.
Overall: The platform enabled to grow my business from zero to profitable in under 6 months. While there were some bugs on the legacy app/software these have been ironed out and I have not had an issue in several months.
It's Engaging and Easy to Use

Comments: Since opening my Yoga business 4 years ago, I found keeping my students engaged and keeping on top of my cash-flow was challenging. From working in some yoga studios I was using their online booking systems to check in students and payments. I found other systems cumbersome to do the most simplest task. One studio I hold yoga classes was (and still is) using Glofox and thought this was so much easier to do book, check in and receive payments, all online! I contacted Anthony from Glofox and showed me how easy it is to set up, and share with my clients.
Pros: Payments are processed by another Irish company called Stripe. This is an additional module to the Glofox suite but it is coupled with the simplicity and seamless completion. This gives me and my clients an Excellent Customer Experience.
Cons: If I do encounter issues with memberships and sometimes issues with students not able to book a class, support is only an email away or on their website, with a very quick response it is sorted. No delay and supporting the above mentioned, Excellent Customer Experience.
Recommendations to other buyers: I would be happy to recommend Glofox to Freelance Yoga and Pilates teachers as well as existing Yoga studios.
So easy to use for both myself and my clients , thumbs up
Likely Extremely
Pros: Easy use
Cons: Payments don't reach my bank until the following week but I don't think that's Glofox fault
Overall: I'm not very good with technical stuff so didn't think an app would be good for me , might give more stress than it's worth
I was wrong , its fool proof ( example ME )
All my clients tell me how good and easy it is to use , is be lost without it now , 90% of my customers use it to book with me and I can see how classes are doing for the week ahead
Payments go through very speedy from customers .
Can't fault it , wouldn't have a business without it now

Nightmare of an app! Nothing works peorperly. Issues daily
Pros: The marketing campaign was nice. The discounted prices were nice. The app looked clean. What the app and glofox claimed to do seems very useful. However, the reality is quite different.
Cons: The issues are far too many and far too frequent, but here is a summary: 1. Customers are still unable to book some classes 2.All the reports are completely wrong. From revenue generation, to members, to leads, to no shows, literally nothing works. 3. We have a huge discrepancy in our revenue. 2/3 of the revenue reported by glofox is wrong. 3. Memberships don't work 4. Promos don't work 5. Clients have been wrongly charged 6. We aren't able to call customer support for help because they almost never answer 7. It takes forever for glofox to finally fix very urgent issues that are hurting our operations. We still have some issues that are not solved yet. You are far better off not having an app than having glofox.

Firstly, thank you for the very honest review and feedback. It goes without staying that we have clearly not delivered on what was promised to you when you signed up with Glofox. I am sorry that you seem to have had such a bad experience with the platform.
Usually in cases like this, something has gone wrong with the implementation of the software. There should be no valid reason why Members can¿t book or buy a membership. This is the core functionality of the platform. Also our reporting only reflects the transactions in the software so it could not be the case that a proportion of the revenue report is wrong.
We are very keen to work with you to resolve these issues but unfortunately, you did not leave your name with the review and we are unable to identify your account from the description. If you do read this response, please contact us on firstname.lastname@example.com and reference this review and a member of the team will contact you immediately to help resolve the issues

App and Website for Leisure Facility,
Comments: I have found the App exceptionally easy to administrate and even more importantly it is simple to download and function from our members point of view which is key, we have integrated this into the website now and can drive traffic and sales through these platforms 24/7 which is something that we previously could not offer.
Of course we want to keep kicking on from here so we look forward to updates as they happen.

We look forward to giving you a continued excellent experience with Glofox and the best of luck with your yoga studio. We hope to be a great driving force behind its sure success!!
Some stumbles to begin with but now they meet and exceed expectations
Pros: Ease of use for members and administrators. Members can intuitively and comfortably figure out how to use the app. It provides our members with an equitable way to sign-up for free classes while also cancelling. The app continues to improve with each passing month
Cons: More data review options for administrators to analyze . Unable to build as many profiles around who is attending the classes. More filter options needed.
Very easy to use. Extremely helpful customer support.
Pros: Easy to use.
Great back up and support
Friendly staff
Colourful app
Easy dashboard to use
Great instructions if anything goes wrong
Quick feedback on any issues or problems
Quick enough to learn how to use
Members learned how to use quickly
Ease of payment methods
Takes pressure off us having to remind members of renewals
It has generated us more members
Greater flexibility for members for class booking and visibility to class spaces
Takes pressure off us to control and manage bookings
Easy access to members details
No revenue lost on delayed renewals
Cons: Can sometimes be slow but it is improving
Took my members a week to transition to change but all good now

Getting on board with Glofox, great move
Likely Extremely
Pros: IT WORKS....
Cons: a bit confusing starting out,
Overall: Have been in the fitness industry for 10 years now, have often gone with cheaper class booking options as thought these 'high tec' ones were out of reach, so very surprised when I came across Glofox, great value for money, was very impressed with there knowledge of the industry, they knew all my issues and had solutions, I signed up immediately,
About to go live and the support both in terms manner and response times has been brilliant,
Thank you for making this such a pleasant experience, and I have no doubt you guys are heading to the top, Keep it up....
Please feel free to place my contact details on review if anyone would like to directly ask me anything,

It's made my life easier and my clients love it!
Likely Extremely
Comments: After doing a whole lot of research I came across Glofox. I have been signed up with them for a year now and to be honest I've not looked back.The software does everything I need and more. Customer support is 100% and that has been consistent throughout the year. They have always been friendly, patience and very helpful, for that alone I would recommend them. I love using the software but what is better is my clients love the app. I was redesigning my website and thought it was a novelty, but actually it has been much more than that. I am very happy with Glofox and would highly recommended them.
Pros: It's easy to use, clients are really impressed with the app. Its cuts down on admin so saves me time. I can now reach everyone with push notifications and clients can be responsible for their own classes which again saves me a number of emails and calls.
Cons: I would use the shop if there was a shipping option. To allow therapists to be able to access their part of the app to adjust their personal schedule.
Recommendations to other buyers: Go for it!
So far we have had a very easy and efficient transition for our last provider to Glofox
Likely Extremely
Pros: I like that the system is very easy to use from both our management side of things, to our customer experience. Clear visual display makes the app. that bit more user friendly and attractive to use.
Cons: The system can be a little glitchy, as is the same with most computer system but Glofox have vowed to deal with these issues as they arise and this far have held up to their side of the bargin.
Overall: We receive and system that is easy for our clients to manage and also provided a media that we can jeep in contact with our clients more readily.
Push notifications are very help full and although we have not used it yet but the in app thread wI'll be brilliant for us for feed our client info on a more regular basis. Information that we believe will create a stronger trainer client relationship which we believe is very important.

I can't imagine why this is so highly rated!
Pros: I like the idea of it. Their staff is very nice.
Cons: Nothing works as promised.
Overall: I chose this option based on the reviews on this site but I can't imagine how it is so highly rated. I've had nothing but trouble with it--and I'm not a novice with this sort of thing. My very first credit card payment received was charged in Euros rather than dollars. The app and the desktop is glitchy at best and feels more like a beta version than a product ready for the masses. My clients have had terrible luck signing up or canceling their classes--the app consistently tells them the class has already passed even though it may be hours before the class time. My clients have lost confidence in the app and all but one have given up trying so I'm back to never knowing who is coming and having to be at my desk to check them in rather than on the floor overseeing their warm-ups with my assistant. The gym owner side of the app is useless. It crashes with every use--either on opening or when I try to navigate to any of the other pages. Last night, one of my clients purchased a package from the app for which they ended up with FOUR packages charged FOUR times to their credit card. I can't get out of this program fast enough!!
Recommendations to other buyers: Don't do it. It sounds great but I've got nothing good to say other than their sales staff is awesome.

Hi Dina
Thank you for your review and your very honest feedback.
I¿m really sorry about the experience you received as a Glofox customer. At the time you joined us, we had a complication with a server update, which unfortunately negatively impacted some of our clients.
However, the successful update has now vastly improved our service speed and reliability for the future. We really wish you could have stuck around to see the improvement thereafter.
I would like to assure you that this is not stereotypical of the Glofox experience and I am genuinely sorry that this occurred.
Kind regards

Easy to use and support is very helpful!
Likely Extremely
Comments: I would recommend Glofox because they are working to fix the things that are missing and are making improvements to the software. Plus it is so easy to use!!!
Pros: User friendly, Support is prompt and helpful, clients with membership find it easy to book class, check in kiosk is great, very easy to use and set up.I am not a tech person and I had no trouble. I had a glofox specialist help me with any questions and set up for the first month. I can still contact him now if I need anything
Cons: missing some features that would be helpful when holding free events, app tells new clients that they are not eligible for a class instead of redirecting them to membership or package options so clients have to go to memberships first before they can book a class, needs to be all one step. no good way to have childcare schedule so have to set it up as a class and clients get confused.
Would highly recommemd

Pros: Easy to use, friendly staff available to talk to you on the phone. Professional looking app.

very happy!
Likely Extremely
Pros: Easy to use, great customer service and support, great design throughout the app
Cons: none
Overall: I recently switched from another well known membership software that is sold as the one of the leading membership and payment processing companies out there. They were expensive, poor technical support, poor customer usability and overall not a great product. I luckily stumbled upon Glofox and our Gym is all round happy and excited to use Glofox. Their support and customer service is second to none, the app is getting great feedback from our clients, our staff find it simple and functionality is great.
Gym operations is a lot easier under Glofox now. It was a great business decision switching over to Glofox. Switch over was painless as well with great support along the way.

Very impressed and so are my clients!
Likely Extremely
Pros: Takes away the stress away from dealing with payments and class bookings, gives me much more time to do other things.
Cons: Could do with booking and taking payments for Sports Therapy treatments.
Overall: Very impressed with the ease of use. I'm normally hopeless with anything technical and Glofox have been a blessing. From the beginning we were in contact as often as I needed and had the app and dashboard set up before I knew it. Any questions that I had about making changes to classes or members were quickly answered which has made everything so straight forward that I have more time to focus on delivering sessions and working on client retention. Can't rate these guys highly enough. Thank you

Finally the support team is amazing and always there to help
Cons: I would like to be able to limit the number of memberships that can be purchased. Other than that I have not found anything to complain about!

5 Trends Shaping The Health Insurance Market
5 Trends Shaping The Health Insurance Market – As the first month of the new year moves along and the United States government has not given us any hope of the healthcare issues we face, we once again must make the hard choices.
Insurance companies are reporting, that they expect 2018 to be a profitable year for them. States that have passed their open enrollment date and some who are growing very near to it, have shown insurance increases to American's. Some are well over 50%.
We face the same problem as we did before the Trump administration took over. Middle-class Americans are faced with premiums, copays, and deductibles that are double and triple what they were before the Obamacare plan went into action. We are forced by law to have medical insurance, but many cannot afford to even use the policies due to the high out-of-pocket expense.
People who qualify for assistance from the government often cannot pay what is required of them and with those requirements increasing, we do not have any options other than not going to a doctor and using an emergency room when issues become threatening.
Trends that are shaping up as we move forward
- Customers taking control
We can no longer be assured that our employers will have the power or the desire to provide the best quality health insurance policies. They are facing the same giants that we are. Only very large corporations have the weight to make the insurance companies give them a better than average deal. Even in the heath job industry the structure for picking the right insurance option is under the big question mark.
If a business has less than 50 full-time employees, he does not have to pay for any of their insurance. For millions of people, that meant the companies reduced their number of employees or reduced hours of their workers so they were not considered full-time.
In 2018, people are taking control and using the advantage of the internet to shop for the best insurance deal they can find. Many online insurance companies will help design a plan that fits their needs.
Customers who are over 65 or disabled use Medicare. They are taking advantage of Medicare Advantage (part c) to consolidate their needs and having agents help them select plans. This often means you can consolidate your coverage with a Medicare Part C Plan.
- Customers who use Medicare Part C are paying attention to their star rating.
Many people do not know that the higher the star rating, the better the insurance company is rewarded. Using a company with a 4-star or 5-star rating means they get better coverage prices and you get better coverage prices.

- Technology and Cloud storage
The government fought it for years, but finally, technology has made its way to the government offices. Cloud storage means millions of files easily shared and accessed. It means fewer mistakes. Instant information to a provider. It is better for the patient. It is better for the planet. It is much more effective and efficient.

- Voluntary Global Workforces
Recent years have shown us that we are a global world. People travel easily now and illnesses and viruses can cause global pandemics. We can no longer work as single countries and expect illnesses to respect our boundaries. More and more, governments, health experts, and even international travel companies are working together to ensure the health of all people. This cooperation will continue to grow and as more and better medications are found, insurance companies will have to face the issue of servicing any person.
The year is just beginning. As trends evolve and sometimes resolution is put into effect. We all remain hopeful that the issues facing America now will soon be solved.

Discovering ValueBy Dennis McCafferty | Posted 2009-05-18 Print
A growing number of companies are discovering the benefits of unified communications: improved productivity and convenience, decreased operating costs, enhanced collaboration and reduced travel.
Discovering Value
More and more IT decision makers at large enterprises are discovering the same benefits, tapping into the concept of unified communications—commonly dubbed UC. Essentially, UC moves land-line and mobile phones, voice mail, e-mail, Web-based interactions, instant messaging, audio/video conferencing and other communications applications onto a single platform. Employee "presence" tools, which allow members of the same work team to know whether their co-workers are at their computers or on the phone, are also closely tied to UC solutions.
The transition to UC requires a complete mind-set makeover from the CEO on down—a cultural shift that is expected to sharply increase the demand for unified communications technology.
In a CDW poll of more than 750 IT professionals, 53 percent said they were either actively implementing or planning to implement UC solutions. Despite the weak economy, 70 percent of those in the planning and implementation stages said they will complete their UC projects within two years.
Increasing productivity and decreasing operating costs were cited by the survey participants as the prime motivating factors for the push toward UC. Media conferencing (cited by 39 percent of respondents) emerged as the most in-demand UC need, followed by telephone-based improvements (32 percent), e-mail (18 percent) and IM/employee presence upgrades (11 percent).
In North America, Europe and Asia Pacific, the overall unified communications market segment will grow from about $1.2 billion this year to $14.5 billion by 2015, according to Forrester Research, a Cambridge, Mass.-based research company. However, even though 86 percent of IT managers surveyed said they could make a strong case for implementing UC, 55 percent said there was confusion about the concept within their companies. Much of the problem stems from vendors' complex pricing structures and the lack of clear dollar-based benefits.
"Other challenges include the interoperability of these solutions on one platform," says Henry Dewing, a principal analyst for Forrester. "It gives decision makers pause when they question whether this audio-video product from Microsoft will work with this system from Cisco.
"Also, when it comes to training, you'll find IT managers getting very high on unified communications systems and deploying it, but the employees don't use it because they don't know how it works and how it's supposed to fit in with what they do. Managers need to take a close look at what employees do and how unified communications can help them work better. Then they have to build the system around employees' needs—and train them on it properly."
There are also some barriers at the front end. Though UC is high on the radar of enterprise managers who understand the benefits of operating so many applications within one platform, says Mark Cortner, a senior analyst at Burton Group, a Midvale, Utah-based research company, some organizations are reluctant to invest heavily in a relatively new concept—especially in this economic climate.
"Large enterprises are most often still set up to manage applications on a silo basis," Cortner explains, "and now they're being told to look at a unified communications platform. This is the kind of ambitious undertaking that requires a lot of expertise. Plus, who oversees it? The telephony team? The desktop team? The conferencing team? All this causes the decision-making process to get more drawn out, because there are many people within the company who need to buy in."
For companies that do buy in to the UC concept, the benefits include eliminating inefficiencies, improving productivity, increasing potential sales and reducing costs. "Reduced travel is just one outcome," Forrester's Dewing says. "And when more workers are mobile or working remotely, you can use unified communications tools to enhance your e-mail, voice, Web and video to make it seem more like the remote employee is right there in the office."
Langdon & Emison senior executives are discovering many bottom-line advantages. For one thing, switching the phone system has resulted in a conversion from analog to digital lines, so the firm is saving thousands of dollars on long-distance costs.
"Also, we can track every call that goes out and comes in," Bender explains. "This means that when we have three lawyers on a conference call with a client, we can bill all that time and provide the proper documentation to support that bill."
Many companies prefer to adapt only certain aspects of UC technologies. Take the case of Scottsdale, Ariz.-based HelmsBriscoe, which employs more than 1,000 associates in 38 countries who negotiate the best deals for corporate clients booking an event at a conference center, hotel, resort or other venue. Working with IT solution provider StreetSmarts, HelmsBriscoe has migrated e-mail, company blogs, RSS feeds, video and archival corporate research onto one portal-like platform for all associates—and even clients—to access.
"This has replaced our intranet," says Greg Malark, chief operating officer of HelmsBriscoe. "Our greatest asset is the collective knowledge of our agents. Previously, if two agents were working on one venue, they'd have numerous phone conversations and e-mails about various venue details and prior negotiations. Now, they simply go to this resource and any e-mail, PowerPoint, archival and related file on the venue is right there, so the dialogue continues from that point."
Government agencies are also investing in UC tools. NASA is partnering with Verizon Business to launch the federal Networx program, which will integrate audio, video and Web conferencing services. The total effort, which could amount to more than $108 million in IT spending, will allow the agency to provide high-definition, Internet-based video conferencing capabilities to its employees. Today, participants at NASA's bases nationwide can take part in a call.
"Our teams need to coordinate on a regular basis," says Kathy Hatley, the NASA conferencing service manager overseeing the agency's Networx launch. "Before a shuttle launch, for example, we'll have a walk-through via conference to review flight readiness with respect to designs and engineering. We can have up to 20 people at each of our 10 bases taking part in this call. This technology allows us to have as many people as a room will fit sitting in on a call, as well as people who call in remotely."
