"We previously handled all of our members, monthly payments, POS, leads, etc. with multiple spreadsheets and several different products. Gymdesk saves us so much time and give us peace of mind to know that almost everything we need is in one place!"

Mariana Tek
"You're forced to manage leads in small batches - of course, they provided a CSV import feature, but no CSV export feature (probably because they want to make it as difficult as possible for customers to leave). Due to the limitations of their CRM today, their support suggested the only way I can get to that data is to manually export it."
Matt R.
GYMDESK
“Amazing customer service. Great software for members and administration. Ease of use for myself and members. The trial was incredible. The setup was easy and fun. Great member feedback. Switched from another solution initially because of cost. Gymdesk was recommended.”
Andre G.
Momence
“Momence oversold and underdelivered. in the 6-7 months we've been a customer its actually gotten worse for us bc they no longer offer phone support - so getting ahold of someone who can actually help usually means emailing the co-founder, who will reply with brief non-answers that basically translate to: yes we hear you, no we don't care."
Matt R.
GYMDESK
“Gymdesk saved my life…and business. Such a simple, clear user interface (staff AND students) with incredibly robust tools that are consistently updated and added upon. Every few weeks, they add on new features and make existing ones more streamlined. [Gymdesk is helping me] managing students, payments, recruiting, communication, planning and keeping me and my staff sane!”
Joe R.
Mariana Tek
"I can't set up a class multiple days a week. If you offer the same type of class two or more days a week, you have to set that class up three times instead of once. Setting up a class takes forever! With so many options, that should just be a template... which they are finally coming out with. Duplicating recurring classes, I ran into glitches; we haven't even fully launched."
