I switched to GymDesk and could not be any happier - it does exactly what I was looking for in a school management software at a very reasonable price\! ----- ### "'Martial Arts on Rails' is worth your attention. Try it out\!" — 5.0/5 > **Jason** | *30 September 2021* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: - Ease of use. - Ability to easily communicate via Text Message or Email in bulk to members/database without leaving the system or having to export to another system. - Member Portal very useful. - Overall features combined equals a great product. - Support has proven to be very responsive. > > **Cons**: - At time of writing, there are limited integration options e.g. No 'Zapier' integration. However, for most users I believe you won't need another system. That's one of the benefits of this software. - There are work arounds, however at time of writing there is no customised tagging system for member database. - Even though I believe they have an easy Family management feature. At time of writing there is no easy way to communicate directly with a parent/guardian of a child student. For example, currently the email would be addressed directly to the child, not the parent/guardian. > > Overall experience to date has been very good. I have received excellent customer service. Due to COVID-19 temporary shutdown of my gym/dojo, I had some time on my hands to do a detailed review and trial of this software. I have looked a several systems over the past couple of years in detail and used another system for 12 months prior to moving to Martial Arts on Rails. Although it doesn't do 100% of what I wanted, it is very close and improving all the time. Remember there is no such thing as a perfect system. This software does a good job of majoring on the majors and is growing and adding new features and feature improvements continually based on user feedback. Keep up the fantastic work Martial Arts on Rails\! ----- ### "TERRIBLE customer service and support--simply terrible." — 2.0/5 > **Mark** | *10 October 2022* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is an OKAY membership management platform. > > **Cons**: Gymdesk's customer service and support is TERRIBLE. For one, they do not provide a phone number at ALL. After several emails asking for a callback, someone responded back that they do NOT do CALLBACKS but that they would SCHEDULE a customer service call. Really? Okay, yes, let's do that. What a pain. Especially because I am calling about the 3 THREE charges a month that my $75 a month service is supposed to cost. > > Terrible. I am cancelling and going with the company's competitor. At least they provide a customer service phone number. ----- ### "Great Software For Martial Arts Schools" — 5.0/5 > **Luke** | *29 August 2021* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: There are so many great things about this software, the depth of features is fantastic and covers pretty much everything a martial arts school would need\! The technical assistance is another massive plus point, you always get a prompt polite response to your queries and everything is resolved super quick. Another plus point of this software is that is is super easy to use and navigate through, a lot of thought has gone into the layout and ensuring the most important features are right there at your fingertips. Another positive about this software is the developers are always updating it with new features, which is fantasict, they really are determined to provide the best possible software out there. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this software to any other Martial Arts Clubs based on my experience using it\! > > **Cons**: One of the biggest cons with this software, if there are any, is the lack of an app. I feel this would be the icing on the cake. > > Nothing but a positive experience with Martial Arts on Rails, highly recommend it ----- ### "Simplified our lives SO much\!" — 5.0/5 > **Meghan** | *19 July 2024* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We were looking for a software to manage our small personal training gym that supported the features we needed without the bloat of larger softwares. We also wanted to more easily see our sales, scheduled payments, missed payments, and attendance at a glance. We also LOVE being able to integrate emails and texts within gymdesk so all communication is visible to all staff. The tasks and automations are also crucial for helping us stay organized. > > **Cons**: So far nothing has been a dealbreaker at all\! A few features we wish could be implemented (better recurring appointments, slightly more easy to view calendar, etc) but nothing that overshadows the simplicity and ease of use. ----- Page: 1 / 7\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/108981/martial-arts-on-rails?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/108981/martial-arts-on-rails) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
