What do you like best about WellnessLiving?

I’m happy I found WellnessLiving for my client management system for my business. The leadership team is super friendly (Canadians duh!) and helpful. Matt, my sales rep is always willing to help out, reach out to the support team and offer a helping Hand. I have lots of questions and they are always happy to help.

PROs:

Lots of great appointment types with various options for pricing and how they show up

I love the reports feature where i can pull up weekly sales reports and staff pay outs

Seamless payment processing through a 3rd party vendor, but I love working with them too. Payments come through fast and secure. Lots of payment options as well.

Staff and client notifications are great!

Having the app included is a great feature where the teachers can see client info, leave notes after sessions etc

Love seeing all the client info, history, payments they made, sessions they had all in one place. It’s a huge time saver!

The system itself is not as perfect as I want it to be for the type of mobile yoga business that I have but there are SOME workarounds that I’m willing to cope with. There is a HUGE learning curve and it’s not as intuitive as I hoped it would be. I had to do a LOT of trial and error and work with support.

Bottom line, it’s a nice system with lots of improvement still to be made. But they are willing to make them and they listen to the feedback and slowly adding features, which is a plus. Overall I’m happy with the seamless way the portal works for client management and am grateful to have them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WellnessLiving?

CONs

They have additional services within the portal, but you have to pay for each separately. For example, if you want to have zoom streaming directly from the portal, that’s an additional $20/month. New feature FORMS is also an additional cost. I think it should be a part of the software. Especially as something as basic as forms

The emailing system is lacking in options and it’s hard to set up

If you want to add a photo into your email, you need to go to an external site to add that photo. It’s just cumbersome with all these “work-arounds”.

The google calendar integration is glitchy and is not a 2-way integration and doesn’t work in the way I want it to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

One place for all client info and staff managements Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Please see our Community Forum, we build out enhancements and new features into the software based on customer feedback and we'd love to hear your thoughts on how we can improve: https://community.wellnessliving.com/page/home/

Response from The WellnessLiving Team of WellnessLiving

Hey Bob,

Thanks for the great review! We support thousands of businesses in so many different industries and our job is to make sure that your software is consistently easy for you and your clients to use. We're sorry to hear about some of the issues you've encountered lately. Unfortunately the last update release wasn't as smooth as we'd like and we're taking important measures to ensure the disruption doesn't occur again. Please also know that we are going full throttle to build feature requests coming from users such as yourself. Over these past few years alone we've added literally hundreds of individual features and enhancements, almost entirely coming from the customer request system with big examples such as Power Search, Message Center, auto-updating Client Groups among many, many others. We're continuing to move as fast as we can to build the amazing solutions being requested and I think you'll love to see what's in our coming updates!

What do you like best about WellnessLiving?

Hand down the best CRM for my studio! I I highly recommend the branded app ! My favorite part about using Wellness Living is having our branded app. It gives character to our brand and brings value to our members. I looked into other apps and I wasn't quite convinced until I. sat down with Wellness Living for a demo. Every question I had was answered with a "yes- our system can provide that and yes to that too." I'm very happy with the service provided, specifically by Matt Barnes. He's quick to follow up and gives a detailed summary of what to expect while being onboarded. The onboarding team was great too - made the learning pretty easy and provided the links to our recorded onboarding meetings just incase we needed to go back an re visit a topic. The process in general was seamless-hassle free. I also love how the company is constantly looking to improve and provide the best features to its clients. Thank you for giving us the tool to make our studio be hassle free! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WellnessLiving?

The only downside is the elevate app does not allow for management of our studio directly from the app. I have to log into our web account and it'd be nice to have it on the go on an app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It saves us a lot of time! It allows us to focus on the important stuff like our members. It also keeps the member's questions at a minimum because everything they need is on our branded app. It allows us to manage the studio more effectively and efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from The WellnessLiving Team of WellnessLiving

Hey Sarai,

Thank you for sharing that! WellnessLiving integrates everything from CRM to scheduling, online payments and more into one robust business management platform. In 2022 it’s crazy *not* to have an app and we love helping our customers take their business to the next level with their own custom branded apps! Having your clients download your app and see your studio brand on their phones is a really powerful way of building that connection to your clients so it’s like wherever they go, they’re taking a piece of your studio along with them. Features like push notifications, scheduling, and rewards increase engagement and help improve the client experience.

As a company, we’re just completely focused on our customers and to that end, we’re totally dependent on our passionate team members to deliver an amazing experience to everyone we work with. Matt is a shining bright example of that whole energy that runs through our team and we’re really glad you enjoyed working with him.

We're regularly adding new enhancements onto the app with our updates and our guiding voice is the feedback we receive from real businesses using our platform every day! We'd love to hear your thoughts on what we could do better and our Community Forum is the perfect place to do it, here's the link: https://community.wellnessliving.com/page/home/

We appreciate your kind words and we’re looking forward to helping your business grow, together! Thank you for choosing WellnessLiving.

Love that the software is easy to navigate, the help bar is actually helpful, customer support is available when you need it, they are friendly, efficient and always looking for ways to improve. So many awesome resources! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WellnessLiving?

Before I met with a business advisor, I felt like there were so many tools I just didn't know I had or how to use them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I wouldn't say they have any problems but they are always looking to make the system better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from The WellnessLiving Team of WellnessLiving

Thanks for the amazing review! We believe in the power of positive reinforcement and when we focus on your success as a business, it helps us succeed too. Continuous learning and improvement is a never-ending process that allows us to build our software into a more robust product with every update and we've only been able to do it with the help of amazing customers such as yourself. It's easy to get lost in the specifics of individual features, but the overarching goal for us has always been to make business management software easier to use. That tends to make things more efficient, it eliminates headaches and it gives you more of your time back every day to focus on doing what you love and running your business. We're looking forward to much more continued growth, together!

What do you like best about WellnessLiving?

I use WellnessLiving daily to run my virtual group fitness business. It's easy for myself, and my coaches, to use, start classes, sign clients up, and manage attendance. Our clients are also able to download the Achieve App and VERY easily purchase a membership, book a class, redeem loyalty points and write reviews. I also have a booking widget on my website that looks great and enables easy booking on desktop. One of the best things about WellnessLiving is the customer service - from day 1. The onboarding was fun and customized for my specific needs and any questions I've had since joining have been answered by the support team extremely fast. As a business owner, this is very important! Highly recommend this software! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WellnessLiving?

I think there is some room for improvement with the email customization. You are able to customize a template, but I do feel it could be improved. I still use emails and do find it very easy to choose who I want to email from my client list. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering WellnessLiving:

Do it. It's a no-brainer. I switched from Mindbody, and it was the best decision I made back in 2020. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I am able to manage my clients, view reports, see forecasted revenue, manage memberships, loyalty points, and online store.

My clients can easily make purchases online, book classes, cancel classes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from The WellnessLiving Team of WellnessLiving

Hi Jane,

Thank you for the amazing review! At WellnessLiving we want to give you a 5-star experience from onboarding, to ease-of-use, to customer support - everything! Everything you need to run your business virtually is there when you sign in online or log into the app on your phone. The one thing you can count on in 2022 is that practically everyone's got a phone and we built a dedicated app to make it easier than ever for your clients to book classes, make purchases, receive notifications and stay connected to your business no matter where they are! Companies like Mindbody like to charge an arm and a leg for comparable software because they're used to being the only shop in town, so they keep upping their rates while acting like they're doing you a favor! WellnessLiving is here to give you an alternative solution at a far better value and with a support team passionate about what they do. Thank you for being part of the WellnessLiving family!

What do you like best about WellnessLiving?

When I was first starting out, what attracted me was how simply wonderful and efficient the layout looks, the features like appointment booking, calendar, appointment reminders via email (and later we got SMS - which is amazing), I liked that I can still manage my gym members and training clients. There was LOTs of options to customize which made everything so much easier for me once I got in and started to play around with it. I LOVE that at a glance I can easily see how many sessions are left in training package which IS HUGE for us as we used to track attendance by paper! This played a large part in choosing WL! Our staff can also track their working hours at an ease and trainers can see their schedule on their own devices! My favorite thing about this software is the customer service is always great. They answer, guide you through any questions, and if you request a feature they will get it done within a few months!!! It's so interactive like if we're building the software together to our liking. I've added a ton of requests and they've completed almost all of them (some are more complex/take longer to create). Overall I've had a great experience with WL and I'm excited about how the software will look in a few years. It's ONE of a kind Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WellnessLiving?

I wish I can input data from before we integrated (as far as sessions attended / packages purchased like manually add a transaction that was dated in the past. As of right now, you can only do that during the onboarding process but it's limited to the client's most recent purchase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Our old software -MIS- had all the gym management components but lacked hugely in tracking personal training sessions, creating appointments, and setting reminders. We wanted an all-in-one solution and we got exactly that with Wellness Living. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from The WellnessLiving Team of WellnessLiving

Hey Mairien,

Thank you for your kind words. WellnessLiving is a software for businesses who want an all-in-one business management solution with one login, an elegant interface, and ease-of-use! All you need for full scheduling services is available to you, along with the ability to customize it to match your specific business needs! Everything from client management, online appointment booking, staff scheduling, automated reminders, reporting, and the list goes on! We've grown to where we are today thanks to our customers (yourself included), who have passionately guided us to adding the features that businesses need the most for their day-to-day and that enable them to get the most value out of our software. At WellnessLiving we put our heart into everything we do, and we're looking forward to our future working with your business, from software development to your next support call! Thanks again for the amazing review!

What do you like best about WellnessLiving?

The best feature in our cloud-gym management is being able to list a future class, getting a dedicated link, and being able to promote it ahead of time. People can sign up in advance, so the instructor knows which clients will attend that day. APP development was not painful, as was my expectation based on past fitness technologies I have tried for two decades. WellnessLiving earned my trust when we were up and running with a customized fitness APP in 2 weeks. The most significant impact the APP has made to my fitness and certification business is to allow our 100+ instructors to promote and manage their classes without global management from me as the owner.

I like the name because it describes our brand well with the word, wellness and life.

A lot of customization was necessary for our very unique offerings. The workflow Matt designed through much thought turned out to be smooth and simple in actual practice and is working out great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WellnessLiving?

I liked least getting an Apple Developer account for the first time. However, Amy, my WellnessLiving Achieve APP representative, walked me through each step, and we got it done. The custom picture on the Apple phone APP did not fit correctly, but we are working on that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

1. The APP is so logical that instructors are now overcoming resistance to teaching online classes, some for the first time. Most instructors had lost their in-person group exercise classes during the Covid pandemic and were hesitant to learn new technologies for both online teaching and an APP too. But we are moving forward replacing in-person trainings with online tech.

2. The APP got rid of the struggle I have had in the past trying to track hundreds of group exercise classes on a spreadsheet that change regularly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from The WellnessLiving Team of WellnessLiving

Hi Laura,

Thank you for sharing your amazing experience. We are just so thankful to hear your because it is so central to our goal as a company, which is to make it easier to start, run and grow your business - even if that just means moving your business online! Our built -in automations handle so much of the day-to-day, and we added these specifically to save you time and make your life easier! What's great is that it's all on the cloud, so you know everything from attendance tracking, schedule updates - everything! - is kept synchronized in real-time, so there's no more need to spend time manually keeping track on a spreadsheet! Businesses often tell us their biggest surprise is how easy it was to set up their first online class, and our mobile app gives your instructors the power to easily run those virtual classes, on their own, no matter where they're located. We're super excited to be part of your story, and welcome to the WellnessLiving family!

What do you like best about WellnessLiving?

The initial data migration went seamlessly. The software is easy to use and easy for our members to understand. They love the ease of the app and are more inclined to use it, because of how easy it is. The reporting is exactly what we needed and there are so many different reports that we utilize. Finally, when we have had a question on issue, the support team has been fantastic at responding quickly and providing a resolution. Our club is so happy to have made the switch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WellnessLiving?

The only thing we didn't like was with one of the sales reports. We prefer to see the money that we actually receive, not everything that was billed. Once we realized we had to go under the advanced settings, to change the report from accrual to cash sales, we were able to see what we wanted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We haven't really encountered any issues with WellnessLiving. We are enjoying the product. The ease of the software makes things easier for sure. It is easier to complete reports that are important to our operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from The WellnessLiving Team of WellnessLiving

Hi Jill,

Thank you for the amazing review! We are thrilled your data migration was a success and that WellnessLiving is helping you boost engagement with your clients! Switching softwares can definitely seem like a huge ordeal to any business owner but our onboarding specialists are pros at what they do, they help make the whole process a breeze and very quickly you start seeing the benefits of making the switch! Ease-of-use helps make it really easy for your employees and your clients to become accustomed to the new interface, although our Customer Support Team is keen on making sure you have all the support you need to be totally comfortable with the software. Every question or issue you need help with, we'll be there for you every step of the way. Again, thanks for your amazing review, and we are so thrilled our software and Customer Support Team have been able to make your life easier. Thank you for choosing WellnessLiving!

Response from The WellnessLiving Team of WellnessLiving

Hey Lisa,

Thanks for the great review! WellnessLiving is the software you can depend on to run your business, day in, day out. A lot of the other platforms out there are much simpler and designed to do just one or two things well, so as you grow your business or run into different situations you begin to get into the work-arounds or even having to start looking at alternative platforms to do what you need. We know that as a studio owner you're going to be running into these situations all the time so we put a lot of development work into fleshing out our features and developing a true all-in-one solution to help save you time and headaches down the road. It costs us more to do things this way but in the long run it helps us and our customers succeed. We understand that learning to navigate a new software can be difficult at times, so please do not hesitate to contact our support team for any assistance. Thank you for choosing WellnessLiving!

Hey Leanne,

Thanks for the amazing review. I just want to start off by saying congratulations on nearing the 3 year mark and we're ecstatic to be the software provider of choice for your business. The pandemic was such an enormous hurdle for studios everywhere and as soon as we saw the writing on the wall we knew we had to act, so in the span of a few months we built out a full set of tools to take practically an entire studio from in-person to virtual. It's really great that you had your clients already making a habit of going into your branded app, which would've helped you seamlessly add FitVID on Demand to your service offerings with just a few clicks. You can't always control the world around you, but part of being a business owner is definitely that ability to adapt and continuously chase your vision through all of the obstacles that life throws at you. We feel lucky to be part of your vision and business, and we're always doing everything we can to give you the tools to get where you're aiming for. Thanks for choosing WellnessLiving!
