What do you dislike about Gymdesk?

I'd like to see continued development in the email messaging capabilities. Currently, you can send basic and automated messages to your members. I'd like to see improved graphic design options for these emails. Similar to what you might see in mailchimp. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Gymdesk solving and how is that benefiting you?

I appreciate the recent update the schedule options. You can now make unlimited schedule options for various class/lesson configurations. This is useful for gyms that need to adjust their schedule regularly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Product Description

Manager-friendly software that simplifies and automates your gym operations.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

Gymdesk is a software designed to solve gym owners’ biggest pain points with a modern, user-friendly and intuitive twist.

Unnecessary administrative load, too much paperwork, time wasted on manual processes that could have been automated, lack of control and poor use of data are just some of the challenges that many gym owners encounter. Top that with an outdated software with a steep learning curve that frustrates more than helps, and the struggle is real.

Gymdesk addresses these issues by giving you a powerful, feature-packed platform that’s incredibly easy to learn and use. It will become your one-stop shop for member signups, online booking, attendance tracking, billing, retail sales, marketing and more. Managing your gym doesn’t have to be a complicated process - and we are ready to prove it.

What do you like best about Gymdesk?

GymDesk has everything I could ever need to manage my wrestling club. However, the thing that sets GymDesk above the competition is their customer service. They are only just an email away and reply back within hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gymdesk?

I wish I had more control over website options (outside of using CSS). Something as simple as choosing different color schemes or being able to modify the grouping of menu items. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Gymdesk solving and how is that benefiting you?

GymDesk allows me to control every aspect of my wrestling club and member management. It is constantly evolving to help manage both of those items (i.e. the addition of Rosters). The evolution of the product coupled with the owner being in the combat gym functional area make GymDesk the no nonsense solution we needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gymdesk?

Some features are still in the works, like the belt test event that you can not modify once you start it. You need to delete it and create a new one. You can not add or delete members for the event. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Gymdesk solving and how is that benefiting you?

An easy solution to manage my client's info, check-in to the classes, communication and marketing, sending text messages in one click and follow-up leads. It takes me less time now to manage my clients and communicate with them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Gymdesk?

Gymdesk was literally the first thing we got before starting our gym, the very act of purchasing and setting it up made everything we needed to do to get started so much clearer. It's very versatile and you can use as many or as few features as you need. We integrate with stripe and have never had an issue with payments in 2 years. Well done GymDesk Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

not as many integrations as i would like. The template website needs updating. text message and email functionality could be better, especially for international customers i.e australia Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Payments, Scheduling, Website. Basically everything you need to start a gym (IT wise at least). The most beneficial thing for us has been integration with stripe Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
