About Mindbody

Mindbody is an all-in-one software solution for businesses within the fitness and wellness industry. The platform offers tools for client scheduling, employee management, marketing, payment processing, online booking, and more. Businesses such as fitness clubs, yoga studios, salons, and spas can manage availability, accept online bookings, check-in clients, and more from the Mindbody app. The platform helps businesses keep track of each employees' schedule and plan days accordingly.

New clients can find businesses using the Mindbody Connect app, and book services online through the app. Once a new client becomes a loyal regular, businesses can set up recurring billing and even have them join automated referral programs, to give them an incentive to invite friends.

Businesses can review and track key metrics within the Mindbody software, including revenue, sales, attendance, and client retention. This data can then be used to plan and execute marketing campaigns, bringing inactive clients back in with automated emails and text messages.

In order to aid with branding, businesses can even create a completely tailored mobile app with custom branding, so that clients receive the same familiar experience on their phones.


Key benefits of Mindbody

• Online booking: Give clients a way to sign up for their next visit on their own. Clients can see availability and choose what works best for them.

• Point of sale: Process every purchase easily, including retail, classes or appointments, workshops or memberships, gift cards and more. Every purchase is logged on the client’s profile for easy reference later.

• Staff management: Get the whole schedule into one place, and give every staff member a login so it’s always accessible from their laptop or phone. Take care of payroll in minutes, too.

• Reports: Analyze the numbers that matter most, from attendance and revenue to retention and membership growth. Every interaction with clients adds to historical data, so users get a comprehensive picture of their business as time goes on.

• Client tools: Store everything in a simple client profile, and refer back to it quickly whenever that client comes in. Users can save notes, check their purchase and visit history, and see their payment status.

• Marketing tools: Get the word out easily with automated promotion tools. Pull lists from client profiles, set up promo codes, combine services into discount packages, and track the success of everything.

Have to use it, but would like to use something better

Reviewed on 27/09/2023

Pros

Mindbody gets the job done. My gyms require me to schedule through it so I'm kind of forced to use it.I do like that I have a few gyms on it which makes it easier to book a few classes at different spots at the same time.

Cons

I wish the booking could go right into my Google Calender just like a Calendly appointment do or Eventbrite events. When I book in Calendly and Eventbrite, I do not need to click "add to calendar" because it just goes into my calendar automatically upon booking.My pilates studio just switched from Mindbody to Momence and I'm really liking the feel of the new platform. It feels like the platform was built more recently and it's meant for mobile. Whereas Mindbody feels like it was built desktop first and the mobile doesn't have unique sizing or layout. Momence also has a messaging area for my gym to message us with deals and such.Would be ideal if all gyms used Mindbody but instead I have to toggle between apps to book my classes.

Mindbody delivers for music school

Reviewed on 07/11/2023

Pros

I liked the ability to create multiple classes and the easy student enrollment. They also have great technical support.

Cons

The software was slightly pricey, however, it is a good all-in-one platform for managing students and classes.

Mindbody is not for Small Studios - Don't waste your money.

Mindbody was great when I first opened my business over 10 years ago. However, I would not recommend it now to any small business. Mindbody pulled fees out of my account for a studio in Texas that I did not own that had a similar name. Thousands of dollars were taken out and it took months for the money to be received back into my account after their error. I had to call daily to get updates on my overcharged account.

Pros

It was easy for my clients to book classes on the APP.

Cons

Small businesses were quickly at a disadvantage to franchises. They had the ability to pay for ads and promos. The APP was continually full of competitors offering big deals. Many small studios including mine eventually left Mindbody to software companies that included an APP for individual studios only. It created customer loyalty.

Support was great and very patient. Not meant for a single therapist to run. Would be better for a bigger company.

Pros

Booking was easy after the initial set up was figured out.

Cons

Designed to set up your individual business. Just a lot to learn and many different alternatives to run your business.

Poor, very poor. In fact how this company is handling Client cancellation is so bad I question if it is even legal.

Pros

Biggest name. Expensive with huge amount of functions one does not know what to do with.

Cons

Over Pericles, 3-3.5 times the price of competition.
Poor admin support, you get everyone answering your questions without reading into any previous email exchange.
Extensive function but don’t offer the most basic one like sending an automatic payment receipt (invoice) to clients. “Sorry you need to do this manually” not for $470/month, I won’t be.
Impossible to cancel omg, they make you run around like crazy just for a cancellation. If you need to give 30 days notice to cancel, you will need another 30 days on top at least to get through the number of useless emails they keep sending you and the number of security questions they ask is more than a bank would.
