Key benefits of Club Automation
Access all your membership information with a single click—from anywhere you can surf the Internet. Contact information, billing information, membership type, waivers, e-signatures, and contracts are all stored in member profiles that can be easily accessed with customized member and staff permissions.
Make sure the right messages find the right members with list building for email and SMS messaging. Create targeted communication lists based on member information like age, gender, past class registrations, purchasing history, membership type, and more. Automate confirmations, reminders, and marketing messages for easier than ever communication.
Add leads directly to your member management database as “nonmembers,” then create a custom task-based sales process to help your sales staff turn them into the loyal members they’re just waiting to be.
Instant account notifications at check-in give your team insight into a member’s class schedule updates, and special offers upon check-in. Make every week Member Appreciation Week with a custom loyalty program that identifies repeat customers and issues points based on a tailored system.
Offer members 24-7 facility access with a traditional key card or via a barcode on their mobile app. Not only does this add value to existing members, the increased flexibility could lead to more member sign-ups and more revenue for your club.
Allow members to make purchases and payments through a point-of-sale system that’s available on any Internet-enabled device. With an integrated solution, inventory and revenue are added directly to your club’s overall reporting.
Create and organize class and program scheduling in one master calendar that can be viewed and edited with custom permissions.

The staff at Club Automation is second to none!
Reviewed on 2018-01-23
Pros
Club Automation has helped us advance in so many ways. Our fitness facility has nearly 10,000 members and this provides a fast, effective way to not only sign-up new members, but create a good environment for current members to utilize. We enjoy many features such as online sign-ups, electronic guest passes, automatic billing, and certain tracking features/reliable reports.
This has helped our staff tremendously by helping them to cut their time spent on projects down. It allows them too have more time to spend on other areas of their work duties. Another huge benefit is the fact we can log in from any computer any time, any where without having to install actual software only available on a certain number of computers!
I just asked some of my staff to tell me their favorite feature in five seconds. Here were their responses:
1. Capabilities of reports for many different circumstances whether it be corporate partners, payroll deductions, retention etc.
2. Ease of sign-ups for new members.
3. Family check ins. (When one family member scans his/her card, the rest of the family pops up on the screen and all you have to do is check the box next to their names to sign them all in!)
Members love being able to log into their account online and update their billing information, sign up for classes, swim lessons etc. and print out payment history for work reimbursement plans.
Club Automation has truly helped us take a step into the modern world of fitness software!
Cons
Club Automation is working on ways to incorporate certain features and making more customizable forms, such as additional required fields like t-shirt sizes and expediting certain updates such as reoccurring transaction features and showing certain details at check-in. Pro Rating billing is not optional with Club Automation, so that was new to us. Certain reports have great sorting features where others do not have the same capabilities. We are looking forward to these improvements being made and have confidence Club Automation will only continue to provide great service and excel in all of these areas just like they do in ALL other aspects of the software program.

Pros
Truly an all in one club management system that is easy for members and staff to use. I love that it automatically bills and withdraws payments and the booking feature for members is very helpful.
Cons
I wish there was online camp registration where we can choose what information we want to collect, what questions to ask and have parents complete it online while registration for a program (special needs, medications, allergies, ect)

It took 6 month to on-board (which compared to Shapenet or ABC or Mind body is 3 x's as long) with several team re-shuffles. I spent 1000's of dollars having my team sit through redundant trainings only to run into obvious software break downs while the presenter was demonstrating how to use it. If you are even considering this software please give me a call and let me go into greater detail [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
Pros
They present a well rounded package with fluid tools and robust reporting. The exact opposite is true; the software is challenging to use, the reporting is confusing and incomplete with misleading data. the customer support is lost half the time and don't answer the phone the other half. Please don't use this software.
Cons
They lock you in to a 5 year contract so no matter how bad they perform you are on the hook. They have dozens of "known bugs" that you just have to deal with. thier PT and membership contracts are inflexible, they will randomly bill your members the wrong amount for no apparent reason. They will bill historically cancelled members that were dormant in your previous data but for some reason were reactivated by CA. DO NOT USE THIS SOFTWARE

Paramount AcceptanceReasons for Choosing Club Automation
Because ABC decided to stop billing our members during Covid without our consent. We continued billing our (very well informed) members who were happy to pay if it meant keeping us in business. ABC decided that they knew better than us and halted billing. We had to jump through several hoops to get it turned back on.Switched From

Overall CA has been a good change at our business. We are still getting used to it here and we definitely have some suggestions on how to make it better, but we really loving the look of it and the user friendly aspect. I would recommend checking it out if you are looking to switch software's.
Pros
First of all, the look of it caught my eye and the fact that it is very user friendly! Our old system was outdated and was not very easy on the eyes. We also love that there is a CRM system built into the software that connects to the actual Club side. That makes it very appealing to us as a business. It is also great to be able to generate PDFs super easily!
Cons
This software could use some updates on a few things that we have had a hard time working through. CA would benefit from a texting feature for the CRM, better view of the schedule of each employee for the CRM, notifications when a new online form submission comes through for a new membership, way better ease of changing forms within the system (ex: Emailing Membership Link) , Being able to add a credit that does not just apply to dues, Better ease of sending mass emails to leads who have not yet joined for the CRM, Being able to easily separate and organize non-members / guests from current members. The CRM is not the best, so we would recommend ease of connecting an outside CRM system with CA.

If a half star was available, I've give 4.5 to quality, ease and functionality. We have looked at a lot of platforms and Club Automation is clearly the best available. No question! Even in the places that I would like to see improvement, the customer service and support more than overcomes. They are fast to respond, work diligently to solve problems and don't just pay lip service to get back with answer. They do it!
Pros
It's a seamless product. From first check-in to billing and accounting, it's all right there. The customer service is above any vendor I've ever dealt with. The people behind Club Automation are what make the company so great!
Cons
The Communications Center is still a place that could be better. At least in the way we wish to use it. It is so close to being a total game changer in our business, but it is getting better. There have been some enhancements over the years and it's improving all the time.
