ShapeNet Review
I run my entire business through shape. I absolutely love it!
PROSFrom 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.
CONSThere is nothing I don't like. Everything is always taken care of.

Best I've found
The [SENSITIVE CONTENT] is one phone call away. I've worked with a lot of companies for various services and the defining factor in quality and performance across the board is: How involved is the [SENSITIVE CONTENT]. [SENSITIVE CONTENT] Is very involved in the daily decision making and development of Shapenet and it shows. The customer service is great! the staff knows my name and is happy to interact with me about any issue. They are always improving, developing new ways to engage customers. I'm very impressed
CONSThere are a few (very few) functions that aren't ironed out completely. I have a unique business model where all staff acts as managers (sale, PT, group X, customer management, etc.) in different ways depending on projects they are working on. So building that functionality in the system takes a few extra steps. I also have a large service menu associated with membership and sometimes adding those services onto each membership is labor intensive. However all of these things are totally manageable and I would recommend this service to anyone.
Reasons for switching to ShapeNet
CA is an absolute nightmare. They have way to many cooks in the kitchen and it ends up being a carnival of mistakes and delays. I lost dozens of members because of thier mis handling of my account. STAY AWAY

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.
CONSPromises of features that were never installed.
Vendor Response
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.

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.
PROSSystem features, data capture and reporting functions are excellent. System downtime is minimal. The financial data and downloads are a great feature excellent.
CONSNeeds 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.

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 !
PROSFlexibility 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.
CONSWe 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.

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.
PROSThe 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.
CONSThe 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.

PROSWeb-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.
CONSDoesn'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

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.

CONSAppearance 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.

Shapenet provides a great value
The Shapenet reports have been vital to our business. We use financial reports on a daily basis
PROSThe 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.
CONSShapenet takes some time to get used to. Front desk employees coming from other gyms complain that it is not user friendly.

Shapenet has been very helpful in our different requests and customer support.
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.
CONSThe 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.

Great Software
Our over all experience with ShapeNet has been great. They promoted customer service and they have delivered on that whenever we have a question or need assistance.
PROSI love the fact that the software is married to our door system. Being able to see who is actually utilizing the gym has helped us with our member engagement. We also love the texting system.
CONSI do wish the software would create a report a list of memberships who are not utilizing the gym ( or using the door code system). I would also like the declined payments to auto process the next day.
Reasons for switching to ShapeNet
I was not happy with the increasing pricing of Mindbody and the lack of customer support.
