What do you like best about Mindbody?

The functionality is like none other. Everything you need is in one place. From analytics to email marketing, you can do it all from one platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mindbody?

The price. As a small business owner, it can be hard to keep up with the increase in pricing. If I were just starting out, I would probably choose a cheaper platform until I could build up the business to afford Mindbody. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It has everything in one platform, so I don't have to use multiple programs to run my business. I use to use an email platform separate from MB and now use Mindbody's marketing suite, which is so much easier to use. It's the industry standard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Mindbody?

The help desk employees are often kind and patient even when they don't know much about the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mindbody?

I signed up with Mindbody several years ago for my martial arts business, mainly because they promised a functional belt tracking module. Unfortunately, that feature never worked properly. When they attempted to replace it with a progress tracking system, it only made things worse. Both modules were full of programming errors and consistently failed to perform as advertised. Despite spending countless hours of my time, my staff's efforts, and thousands of dollars, nothing was ever resolved.

Mindbody repeatedly assured me that they would fix the issues, but those promises were never fulfilled. Ultimately, I had to find an alternative to manage student progress effectively. They string you along, making you believe they will solve the problems, but they never do—while continuing to bill you. In my opinion, it’s a dishonest company that sells you the dream without delivering on the work.

Now, after years of frustration, Mindbody refuses to acknowledge the issues or let me cancel my contract. Instead, they have become increasingly aggressive in preventing me from terminating the service. Their support team is highly skilled at handling objections, making it appear as though they are actively trying to resolve the bugs, but there seems to be no real intention to fix the problems.

After nearly five years of waiting for critical bugs to be addressed—bugs that have a significant impact on my business—I am left with nothing but frustration. They now focus on enforcing the terms of our contract despite their failure to deliver on their promises. My experience with Mindbody has been incredibly disappointing, and I strongly advise caution to anyone considering their software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

They have not solved my issues, particularly with regards to progress tracking and belt tracking. They have put these things on the backburners for years and continue to charge for these services. In addition to that:

-they increased their fees

-they moved to a more expensive payment processor in Canada

-You cannot batch process membership confirmations/purchases without using their payment processor

-they moved their help desk overseas and I literally was teaching them about their own software for more than one occasion

-The customer service reps are completely tuned out to the technical issues of the program. Totally disconnected.

-They need to start over from a technical standpoint as they have been repairing bugs with poor technological "responses" for years. They don't want to invest in an overhaul of the program so it is littered with issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Mindbody?

After years of pain, the moment that we successfully migrated to another platform and said goodbye. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mindbody?

This company makes sales promises that are never delivered on. In three years of using this software every day it was buggy and unreliable. Support is non-existant. Its is difficult for your clients use. It has features you will never use, and is missing the features you want.

An awful experience that nearly killed my business in its inception phase. I'm sure all the positive reviews are paid or unethically incentivised. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Mindbody?

Nothing, stay away. You will be severely disappointed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mindbody?

I have been with Mindbody for over 10 years. At first they were a great solution for my gym. Over the past 2 years they have gotten progressively worse. Their customer service is a joke ans non existent. Their payment processing company that they force you to use continues to randomly take chargebacks out, even when not requested by clients. They recently took $1600 out of my account for a chargeback, and the customer didn't request it and even fought with me against the charges. They called their bank, mindbody and the payment processor, and essentially was told "too bad". $800 of the $1600 was returned to my client (who then paid me back), and then took another $800, but it was never paid back to the customer. So basically they just took money out for their own benefit.

And good luck getting Mindbody to respond or even care about your problems. Previous problems have taken over 2 weeks to resolve, which included over 10 phone calls and countless emails that are NEVER responded to.

For the love of God and your business, never use Mindbody. We are in the process of switching, which is a nightmare in itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

They solve no problems, and just send you surveys to try and show they care. This is smoke and mirrors. When you try to schedule a call with them to discuss problems, you can't make an appointment for at least 7-10 days. Stay away and find a company who cares. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
