out of 5"It is pretty easy to use, I like that I can use it from anywhere which is nice with a 24 hour gym because I dont need to be there all the time and can use it from home."
"The reports are great and I love that it works well with the Brivo door system. I like the scheduling section as well."
"It helped when I went live. I knew if I had questions, I would get help and answers quickly."
"Frequently new updates cause problems with current functions."
"The only downside to ShapeNet is that the only way for payment integration is to go through their third-party merchant."
"No app, at least when i used it. For trainers, having an app is important for scheduling conflicts etc."

ShapeNet Review
I run my entire business through shape. I absolutely love it!
Pros
From the very beginning I was incredibly impressed with all the functionality. It does everything! It's easy to use, and the customer service is the very best across the board. They respond immediately and are so incredibly smart and know how to fix anything I mess up.
Cons
There is nothing I don't like. Everything is always taken care of.

Great experience using the system and customer support. Some issues with reports and functions.
Financial data capture, integration of schedule and facility use,trainer and customer data detail for measuring efficiency and productivity.
Pros
System features, data capture and reporting functions are excellent. System downtime is minimal. The financial data and downloads are a great feature excellent.
Cons
Needs better integration of features to allow easier and quicker data input during busy hours. Too many features require replicating data entry such as; adding subsequent members of the same family requires , setting up rentals and closing multiple stations,closing adding members and closing out classes and members in them requires screen refresh on every attendee,payroll download is confusing. Field names and services do not match between system and system fields, Would like to set our own thank you letter. Frequently new updates cause problems with current functions. Needs better Beta testing. Downloading data supposed to go to Excel but instead always defaults to Unicode drives me nuts because I download a lot of reports and have to convert everyone. Payroll summary picks up field that I don't want and have to reconfigure for every employee. Example the date field is always off by one cell. There is another field that has no purpose at all plus the classes pick up the class itself as if it were a person in attendance. In the financial data the income categories should show number counts when applied to multiple categories. You can only get number # count data by looking at one category at a time. When closing stations we should be able to close multiple stations on the matrix versus having to close each one then wait for the screen to update close the next one etc etc ad nausea. The process of submitting a support ticket could be streamed lined.

Horrible Experience and BIG mistake (Owner, couldn't care less)
Horrible Experience with this company. I'm shocked that they have any clients with an experience like this. I had elected to use this company for all of our . After not meeting the conversion deadlines, as promised ,we decided to not use their services and gave notice. It should be noted that they promised many features on the software that we required but found at the time of conversion that they were available but in the future. To make a long story short, they continued to bill our companies credit card even after notice was given not to. When we emailed the company's Owner regarding our dissatisfaction regarding the service from Shapenet and the unauthorized payments, he basically replied too bad but we never promised. So we were basically was charged for software which was never converted or even used. I would definitely do my research with software companies before you buy because this was a big mistake. The last software we had was great (Aphellion) and used for almost 20 years. Very disappointed.
Cons
Promises of features that were never installed.

Response from ShapeNet
As the owner of ShapeNet, let me take the time to respond and clarify some points. I'm disappointed you had a bad experience with us, but you did demo the product several times and liked it. for the conversion, we clearly stated that we needed info from your team AND your team needed to verify data before you went live. your team refused to do that. after spending over 2 months on the conversion with minimal help from your team, you wanted your money back. I explained what we all agreed to. We all tried to work with you to provide what you needed. I even suggested a compromise where we would split the money you owed us. Based on your specific needs, we had good solutions for you. we wish you the best moving forward. as a reminder, I kept myself available to work thru any issues you wanted to discuss with me.

Support from rep is OUTSTANDiNG !
Shapenet software is outstanding. Even better is the support we have received and most recently the support from reps. Rep has worked tirelessly to help us set up our payroll system and never ceases to amaze us with her responsiveness and involvement. She and the entire company make us feel like we are their only client. I would highly recommend Shapenet to anyone considering software for their fitness facility !
Pros
Flexibility to handle very large list of services, financial transactions and hstorical data. Most impressive however is their support staff. see comments below. The company's willingness to implement customer suggested changes is unique in this business.
Cons
We would like to see league application software and understand they are working on this now.
Reasons for switching to ShapeNet
As we have grown, our thought was to try software from a much larger company however after running parallel systems for a couple of months we scrapped the other system. and decided to stay with Shapenet Shapenet is the best in the market. for our needs.

Many times we deal with server issues and a slow system.
Pros
We like the customizable program. It works well for our business purposes. Has many great features, some we use, some we don't
Cons
so many options, can be overwhelming for a new user. Proper training from the begnning of the use of this product would be beneficial.

Response from ShapeNet
We appreciate the feedback Jason. we're very pleased that your are benefiting from our customizable software system. it looks like it is working well for your business. we agree with you when you mentioned that a new user can be overwhelmed because of all the great benefits that are available. we have re-structured our training for new and existing clients, which we feel is more effective. we are getting good feedback from our clients with our new approach. we have resolved the core system performance issues and your system should be running much better now.

I love shape net fornits functions once you have experience with it.
Allowing our staff to easily read the details and status of each member.
Pros
The checkin is easy and the display is clear for each individual once they are put in the system. The input is fairly easy and there are a lot of functions to use. Each individual to be implemented takes about 3 minutes which is nice.
Cons
The functions are relatively scattered and difficult. Especially the class calendar and scheduling and ease of use for packages purchased and user scheduling. Also, it's difficult to find the website for individuals since there is another ShapeNet company in the search. It would also be nice if when purchased someone would come on site to show how to use many of the functions, once someone ourchaees the software.

ShapeNet is the best software for anyone running a personal training business.
It's how I run my business.
Pros
The customization is awesome. I have been able to tailor the system to fit my business. It is also very easy to learn and use.
Cons
The customer service could be a lot better. The system is down or slow a lot more than it should be.

Response from ShapeNet
Hi Bo, We appreciate your kind words about our software system. we have learned alot from your feedback over the years and have applied some of your suggestions and needs to the system. looks like you are benefiting from them since you have opened up new locations successfully. we are upgrading our support and training methods, especially with new clients. we have also taken steps to resolve system performance issues and are confident the system should be running much better now. thank you for your business over the years.

Shapenet provides a great value
The Shapenet reports have been vital to our business. We use financial reports on a daily basis
Pros
The best thing about Shapenet is its customer support. The Shapenet support team is EXCELLENT and is responsive to all issues. This is something people underestimate when purchasing software, but it is extremely important. I would recommend Shapenet for this reason alone.
Cons
Shapenet takes some time to get used to. Front desk employees coming from other gyms complain that it is not user friendly.

An improvement from our old system, but still lacking in some areas.
Pros
It's internet based and accessible from anywhere. This has been a game changer for our department! I can work off-site, which has been wonderful! Customer support is light years better than our old system!
Cons
Appearance needs an update and ease of use is still lacking in some areas. While customer support does get back to us quickly, sometimes the answer is "sorry, there is nothing we can do about that problem." I wish the team would take more initiative on improving their product and listening to the customer's needs.

Response from ShapeNet
We appreciate your feedback !!! It's great that you are taking advantage of our cloud system, which lets you access the system anywhere. We are taking steps to upgrade the system appearance. We have a NEW MEMBER PORTAL UPGRADE that will be available on 5/17/2017. we are also upgrading some reports and introducing more graphs. our support team does provide feedback to us based on your comments and we are taking the steps to continually improve the system.

Shapenet has been very helpful in our different requests and customer support.
Pros
The software is user friendly with many different features depending on the needs of the business. We use the software within our gym for our member database, check-ins, payment history, recurring billing and the features allow us to adapt to our specific needs.
Cons
The system works well, not really any complaints. The only issue we have is sometimes the speed of the system, however, this could also be due to internet related issues and not the system.

We enjoy the team - they have always been very helpful. The software has a lot of functionality.
Great value - great functionality - open to feedback and lots of help.
Pros
It has a lot of features that I haven't even begun to explore. I also like that Shape is open to suggestions and very helpful with issues.
Cons
It is not very intuitive and we find it difficult to train new employees. It has a very large learning curve. Some processes are a little cumbersome and could use some quicker shortcuts etc.

I wouldn't be able to run my business without Shape
It makes my day to day so much easier.
Pros
The customer support team is amazing. I like that you can do so much with the billing and alal of the different functions that you can do within the software.
Cons
How many steps required to put members into system. Can be complex to train employees as some of the functions are just too complicated to train.

Customer tracking.

Features and the new app. I also like the reports that are available including all the financial reports, democratic reports and the marketing reports.
Cons
I can't call and get a person on the phone. I need to leave a message or put in a ticket. Takes too long.

Excellent product and a very personable staff.
Pros
Shapenet is always improving the software to needs of user. Customer service is very prompt and thorough on request.
Cons
That Shapenet was not yet in existence when I opened my first gym. If it had been open I would undoubtebly had my 2nd gym open much sooner.

ShapeNet software has saved me time while giving me the comfort of knowing memberships and services
Pros
The functionality of syncing services with trainer sessions and payroll all together. Saves time by not using all the excel spreadsheets I use to have in place...
Cons
Corporate account membership billing procedures need attention. When printing invoice for a company with services and monthly dues there is no way to post a partial payment or even print one page bill. The monthly invoice is 20 pages long...

Overall pretty good
The biggest benefit is that it Web-Base and our old system was not, but for the most part I think they all are now.
Pros
Web-based and the functions that are there are for the most part fairly easy to use. The more you use it, the more valuable it is.
Cons
Doesn't really give me a true picture of my overall profit now or compared to previous years. HTML emails are difficult We would like to be able to schedule Tanning minutes

Response from ShapeNet
We appreciate the feedback Scott. we're glad you're benefiting from a cloud/web system. regarding not being able to see financial info compared to different time periods, please look at the Financial Summary Comparison report. you should be able to get the info you need. We are working on an easier solution with the HTML rich emails. we will be pre-loading some ready to use emails. reach out to our support regarding the tanning minutes. our system should be able to manage that for you.
