In Club Review
Overall I am quite happy with the experience permitted with the software bar a few tweaks I would have carried out. Especially if looking to be integrated with a number of clubs and allow for the smooth running of the membership process.
PROSDD integration with the club software management is great and easy to communicate directly with Clubwise. There support centre is also extremely efficient, professional and polite. Also very helpful.
CONSClass timetable application; Once the features have been figured out the system can be used quite well but the process for copying and pasting the same set of classes on a given week to follow through to weeks ahead (if the class timetable will remain the same) is rather tricky as you can only repeat and schedule a single class at a time in stead of an entire week which would minimise a lot of unnecessary administration work. In addition, the process for adding staff members to each individual class is also quite long winded.
Reason for choosing ClubWise
In house DD management was a key feature alongside the coupled software.

Great software to help manage a health club with a wide variety of facilities
Clubwise has allowed us to take a step back from manually logging all of our membership data. We are now nearly paperless and do not have stores of membership documents in a cupboard. The automation of the system has enhanced our business and was a god send over covid times.
PROSClubwise has a vast array of features that allows us to manage bookings of all of our facilities from the gym through to the swimming pool and toning tables. The direct debit collection is seamless and the dashboard allow you to analyse all parts of your membership in one place. The support team is always on hand to assist via phone or email and will solve most of the problems you face.
CONSA few features are a bit clunky, however the development team do seem to be ironing these out with time.
Reason for choosing ClubWise
Their extensive list of features meant it was the only product that could cover the necessities of a large, multi facility health club.

Not recommended
If the processes in securing a system were not as intense that it is in University College Dublin, I would definitely have closed our account. I am the main user and find this system absolutely frustrating as we cannot do what we want it to do. I even have requested new development which we are more than happy to pay for, only to hear that it has been escalated but never heard back after that. A couple of departments in UCD has contacted me before to ask if I would recommend ClubWise but unfortunately, I had to give them the red light as I do not recommend this software to anyone.
PROSIt stores data The customer support team has been more helpful but restricted to what the software can do. The communication platform builder is easy to use.
CONSNot flexible in functionality Cannot do retention online Cannot amend the application Cannot add a custom payment method Cannot delete unwanted data Does not have a "Cancelled" status and cannot create it The retention process on the system is non existent Not flexible on several other functionalities like adding more characters to the promotion code (not all words are less than 10 characters), not able to add staff numbers or student numbers etc. Cannot integrate with other systems
Reason for choosing ClubWise
The check in service ClubWise provide
Reasons for switching to ClubWise
Wanted more flexibility and now it came with a range more issues.

Fairmont St. Andrews / Clubwise
Overall, a positive experience.
PROSThe integration process from our previous software was easy, with continuous support provided throughout. The thing I like most about Clubwise, is the features that put you in control of managing the club (in particular DD and annual membership management such as freezes and rate changes).
CONSI think a premium package option could be introduced. This would include automatic reminder emails to members who are due to expire, and also an online sign up for new members as well as an online renewal feature for existing members. This would make a huge improvement if Clubwise could introduce this without including a third party.
Reasons for switching to ClubWise
Outdated software that lacked many membership specific features.

Complicated software from the start up point and still being developed but improves each year
With regards to DD payments is great. Also would like to integrate payments online for non direct memberships like day or month pass. I don't think this is possible, or maybe it is but we have found the other way round for now. Product names cannot be renamed, so we have to create a new product if a slight change. If members that decide to join us again online, we end up with duplicate entries. It would be great if existing entry was updated. We currently rename duplicate with "duplicate".
PROSSupport during the pandemic was great. Usually quick to respond to support tickets.
CONSI bought the business with Clubwise and was trying to learn from scratch without any help just tutorials online. It was a nightmare. We're still learning as we go along but getting better. There are still many areas we're struggling but it does the job. I'm 3 years owning the business and still don't understand how some areas work. Very complex database. Have no other to compare with, but wouldn't switch to another software as if other is as complicated as Clubwise, just can't face those struggles I've been through.
Reason for choosing ClubWise
I don't know. I didn't choose it. Came with a business.
Reasons for switching to ClubWise
I don't know as it was previous owners decision.
