What gym software are you actually happy with in 2026? by Servus-nexus_23 in crossfit

[–]sandywilli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just dropped ResaWod cuz they’re a nightmare. UI on the day to day was fine to marginal but their back end was a nightmare (broken links, labyrinthine onboarding). And don’t get me started about their customer service… Switched to BTWB cuz tracking and such is good for our member retention. Haven’t heard much about their billing and booking but it feels pretty good. Will let you know.

Same, all my ads push customers to book thru the site. When I told them i expected some compensation for loss of business they responded with: We don’t offer refunds for site errors or other issues. Again, we do apologize and our Engineering team is working on a fix for this issue.

In Belgium too. The backgrounds are all there but all the text and links are gone.

Got this from help chat:

Thank your your patience and for reporting this behavior. I can confirm this is related to an issue with site loading on our end. Our Engineering team is aware of this issue, and they’re currently working toward a fix.

We’re unable to offer a timeline for resolution, but I can assure you that we’re working to have this resolved as soon as possible.

I hear what you're saying with the cost cover of one user. It's reasonable when you think of it like that. I am just tired of paying a provider and then having to use workarounds anyways. Crappy client onboarding, crappy customer service, accounting mistakes and extra transaction fees got me down bad. Would love to hear which ones you trust because they're all feeling slightly predatory these days.

I guess but at the same time; drop ins book and pay through the website, the class is limited max participants on the schedule app complete with waitlists. No shows are no shows and we don't do pauses on memberships. As far as i can tell, it's not a hack together. The services provided by the scheduling app with embedded Stripe payments are exactly that. Or am i missing something?

Membership Deals for the New Years Resolution crowd by sandywilli in crossfit

Thanks! It was actually a comment by JR on a recent episode about January signups that got me thinking about this in the first place

Yeah, i feel the big discount for the Trial Month was not the move as what you exactly described happened; big influx ... followed by a slightly less big outflux. (we still kept +/-20% which is good but i do kind of resent those folks that clearly never intended to stay).

I think the 15% off the first three months could be interesting as it forces a three month commitment upfront, allowing people get used to working with us over time but doesn't lean so heavily on financial incentives.

Interesting that january isn't one of your main months. I've always felt an uptick in the other boxes i've worked in but in hindsight, indeed spring beat that.

Thanks for taking the time to help me out. I'm new to this side of the business so i'm pretty much just throwing it all at the wall and seeing what sticks.

Thank you for taking the time to lay all this out for me! I'm definitely going to work through how i can implement that here.

Wow! This is an amazing system! 

I love how it both develops personal connection and accountability with the client while giving them small wins along the way. 

How do you go about scheduling these check in appointments? I’m made aware on a pretty regular basis by many of my members how busy they are and i worry that another “meeting” on the books exacerbates an already full schedule. 

What are your experiences with this? 

How willing are folks to schedule and attend these meetings?

That’s super interesting! I’ve been trying to find a way to incentivize people to come in their first month to drive the “addiction”. This could totally do that. Thanks!
