Gym Assist Software
The product helps with obtaining all aspects of accounting regarding sales. It is in depth, clear to understand and help full for tax reports.
CONSThe help button could have more answers instead of using the manual.
Reason for choosing Gym Assistant
Reviewing all options as well as electronic entry, Gym Assistant seemed to be something we could afford and understand. It has helped with the accounting more than we could have imagined.

Gym assistant review
First 2 years were good. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] is amazing. I wouldn’t recommend using them in the future though.
PROSWhile you’re under the paid customer support things are good. Questions get answered and software issues get fixed.
CONSOnce it runs out you get treated horribly. They don’t call back or fix issues with their software. Not what I’d expect after paying over 6k for their software.
Reason for choosing Gym Assistant
I haven’t switched because the cost is so high. I’m A small business and can’t afford to spend another 6k on software.

Gym Assistant software is easy to use with integrated access control and POS!
Loved this software from the start and have continued to value it and the great customer support with each new year. It makes managing a gym with a vast array of retail and 24/7 access needs a snap. The access control works great and the integrated "Door Watcher" program has cut our surveillance hours in half. This is a great product and even greater people associated with it!!!
PROSI loved the simplify of the software from the beginning. We needed something with access control and POS and this offered it all without needed a lengthy training course to use it. The ability to customize membership settings to match our unique plans was essential.
CONSI believe we came into this company quite early and thus have been able to walk through some of the growing pains associated with growth and added features over the last 12 years. The reports had some glitches early on that had me concerned, but have been cleaned up nicely.
Reason for choosing Gym Assistant
We needed software for member management, POS, and access control. Many of the companies offered two of the three and/or wanted a substantial substantial payment up front with a monthly fee for use. The affordability of the software at the time played a major factor as we has just taken over a struggling business, so money was very tight to say the least. The simplicity of the software also played a major role as it gave us the ability to customize it to meet our needs without needing a lot of help to do so.

Gym Assistant meets all my needs
Overall the Gym Assistant system works great and customer service is very responsive. I should learn more about the new features. I am sure that I do not take advantage of all it has to offer.
PROSThe card swipe system manages the people who can get into the facility. It works great! Since purchasing Gym Assistant, I do not need to come back to the gym to lock up. As an add benefit, I know who has "checked in". If there were lights left on or a "mess" on the floor, I can get ahold of the members that were in the gym during that time. Our members also appreciate knowing that people who come into the gym are recorded members.
CONSI have had the system for many years, but setting up the door swipe system was not easy. I needed to be an electrician in to help with the wiring.
Reason for choosing Gym Assistant
I do not remember all the products that I originally looked into. I am sure the reason I chose Gym Assistant was a combination of customer satisfaction and price. We are a small gym and could not afford an expensive tracking system.

Gym Management software
Easy to use. Gym Assistant has everything you need to run a gym and fitness business. They thought of mostly everything with this product. Processing payments, sending invoices and overall ease to manage every single member with different memberships is what I like most with this product.
CONSI'd like to see gym assist have option of adding service charges for credit card transations. They have sales tax option for all sales, however not for just CC transactions.

Efficient and affordable Gym Software
Overall I am very satisfied with Gym Assistant and it has played a critical role in the success of my business.
PROSI like the simplicity of this software most. It is very straightforward and easy to find important data. The software tracks my most important factors such as revenue, membership renewals, and member records.
CONSI feel that the connectivity with other apps or software may be limited, but the capabilities are sufficient for my business's current needs.

Why I Love Gym Assistant
We opened Path to Peace Wellness Center in 2014, and began using Gym Assistant at that time. I don't know how we would have managed without it! We have to pull reports for grants and other reports and this system is great to get what we need. I highly recommend Gym Assistant!
PROSThe ease of use. It is very user friendly. Our organization has to do reports for yearly audits, we can easily pull the reports we need.
CONSIntegration was somewhat difficult, but the tech support was great.

Essential for Insurance Billing
Great!
PROSI like the ease of use of this software. It is quick and easy for me to create my monthly billing reports for all of those members who happen to be covered by insurance.
CONSAt times I struggle to figure out how to create different reports, but a quick call or message to tech support usually results in a timely resolution.

Horrible Customer Service
Very disappointed with the customer service. We could have gone with any system, and we chose the little guy with a great system... now we're wishing we chose otherwise.
PROSThe system is easy to use and has good functionalities.
CONSBetter personal training tracking system is needed. Secondly -- We opened a second location and the [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] himself sold us on the fact that we could link the 2 locations together. Just shy of 1 year later, the 2 gyms were linked, and we have had nothing but problems. We have called and emailed with no reply back. On numerous occasions we have called and emailed them and [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] said that [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] would need to answer that question... and sometimes weeks would go by with no response. Sometimes 2 and 3 follow ups would be required before we received a response. To date our 2 gyms aren't linked properly (since January 2019). Truly disappointed!

Gym Assistant Use
Overall we have had a good experience with Gym assistant and been using the software for 9 plus years. They are easy to work with and during Covid-19 came out with a mass bulk freeze option to hold all gym accounts while we closed.
PROSWe use the software daily for our 24/7 gym that we run out of our office. It is easy to use and we are able to train new employees on it quickly. The features it provides allow for fixing mistakes if made by displaying the actions of the users on the accounts.
CONSWhen entering in new payments for past due members if you are not careful it will not automatically put the due date a month (example) from the payment but from the last due date which would make them due sooner if not caught. It is easy to admin the due date if this happens.
Vendor Response
Thanks for your valuable feedback about Gym Assistant. We are glad you find our software easy to use as well as train new staff to use. We are also glad to hear our Bulk Freeze/Unfreeze functionality that our Development Team built for our customer base during this COVID-19 period was valuable. We appreciate your business these many years - thank you! - Gym Assistant

Gym Assistant Review
Overall it has been good over the years, the key cards look great and professional.
PROSOne time purchase, easy to use and train others on the software.
CONSWhen I submit the monthly ACH I have to go in and change the pull through file from lower case to uppercase manually. It should be automatic. For example, the file created states Theperfectworkout and I have to go in and change it to THEPERFECTWORKOUT for the bank to accept it. I would like the ability to write a newsletter each month and mail it to each member. There is not a no option to do this. When a member signs up I want the receipt to say Prorate and Last Month. I cannot get it to say that so I have to physically write it in every copy.
Reason for choosing Gym Assistant
One time pay,met and you own it.

Good Membership Program
We use Gym Assistant to keep track of our membership at the Fitness Center, what type of membership as well as linking them to certain members. We do use the check in feature as well as the camera. Overall I like this membership program and it is fairly easy to implement and very user friendly.
PROSEasy to put in new members, as well as keep membership up to date. File transfer worked smoothly on initial set up. The program works within our network of 3 computers. We like the photo option and checking in with the scanner.
CONSCan't look at a specific date to find certain data, for example how many total members. There are a few features that don't link all members of one family, ex. when terminating memberships, we have to do each member separately.
Reason for choosing Gym Assistant
Most of the other membership programs required a monthly fee, we could buy this program outright and just pay for tech support. Also the transferring from our old program to Gym Assistant was easy and they worked with us to get all data entered correctly.
Reasons for switching to Gym Assistant
The software we were using was out of date.
