About WellnessLiving
WellnessLiving is an all-in-one online booking, resource scheduling, lead generation, and reporting solution for health and wellness focused businesses. Designed for wellness establishments including yoga studios, spas, salons, personal training, fitness gyms, pilates studios, and dance clubs, WellnessLiving provides the tools users need to manage day-to-day business tasks, employees, memberships, sales, marketing, and more.
The frontend customer experience allows clients to book classes or treatments online via the Android and iOS native mobile apps, Facebook, or directly through the automatically generated WellnessLiving.com directory listing. Customers can use the WellnessLiving mobile app to book appointments, pay for services, and write reviews, as well as share their experiences on Facebook. Once bookings are made, notifications and confirmations are automatically sent to customers and staff through SMS or email, and post-booking communication is facilitated with the SMS feature.
From the WellnessLiving backend, employees and management can manage class or event schedules by synchronizing data across all platforms so that schedules are always up-to-date. Users can build their online store using the WellnessLiving wizard and start selling online instantly with a POS feature which facilitates credit card processing, recurring payments, and automatic membership withdrawals. Employers can also use staff management tools to schedule shifts, manage payrolls, track staff performance, calculate pay, and more.

While excited about the capabilities of the system, honestly, I was scared to transition.
Reviewed on 2017-12-02
Pros
Wellness Living incorporates all of the same functionality from my old system in an innovative, visual, intuitive way AND includes the functionality I had to pay extra for! I love the ease of managing schedules, adding clients, enrolling clients in classes and maintaining client information. The integrated rewards program and review process are fantastic. My staff required very little training because of the ease of use and visual nature of the system.
My clients also find the system as well as the app intuitive and easy to use. Booking classes is quick and straightforward and they can manage their own account data. They love the integrated rewards program.
Each Wellness Living team member I encounter always answers my questions and works diligently to resolve any issues I have. I love that pictures of the team are posted on the website . I like being able to put a face with a name when I speak with someone on the phone.
Since converting to Wellness Living I have cut costs, reduced the time spent maintaining the backend system, improved customer experience and increased the number of walk-in clients to classes. I am happy to be a Wellness Living Partner and highly recommend the Wellness Living Business Management Solution and the team. It has been over 6 months since I cut the cord from MindBody and I couldn't be happier with the Wellness Living business management system.
Cons
While there were some glitches in the move, I was supported by the On-Boarding support team through the migration and well after while we resolved issues. Every part of the transition and data migration was manageable. The support staff from On-Boarding calmed my fears -
he was with me from start to finish and personally made sure that any and all errors were immediately corrected.
Further, as I continue using Wellness Living, problem reports are addressed as a priority. Requests for enhancements are taken seriously and documented so that I can see the progress. If I have questions regarding functionality, I am never merely directed to documentation. A technical specialist often sends a video of the process along with a description of the process.

Hi Jennifer! Thank you so much for your kind review and for deciding to switch to WellnessLiving. We know how intimidating the process of changing software can be, which is why our team works so hard to make that transition easy on you. We also put a lot into ensuring that everything you need to run a fitness studio like yours is available in the program, so we are delighted to hear that you, your staff, and your clients have found such success with our features after only six months. Cheers to a great first year together!

The whole experience from first introductions, to knowledge sharing, sales, on-boarding, training, data transitioning, implementation and now active usage has been a positive experience. Expectations exceeded with this company and their technology, customer services, communication and we would 1000% highly recommend Wellnessliving.
Pros
Wellnessliving delivered on their intentions for the technology and some. The website for the business end is easy to use, intuitive and the Wellnessliving team do a fantastic job of monthly tech updates and communicating these updates through various channels including videos. We love the Wellnessliving Business Elevate App. It’s easy for staff to use with little or no training. Our Breathe Fitness client app, that the Wellnessliving team helped to develop, is our most favourite and effective technology. We love having happy, returning clients who can manage their own personal accounts, profiles, purchases, bookings & cancellations in advance of coming to the studio. Easy to use and keeping the technology current with the economic climate is key for us.
Cons
I honestly cannot find any fault with this technology. Easy to use and great people to work with. Very good communication.

Hi Annalize,
Thank you for the amazing review! We love helping Canadian businesses grow and succeed using the latest in business management software (made easy-to-use)!
You shouldn't have to spend hours training your staff and the Elevate app adds a lot of simplicity in place of complexity.
When your clients are booking services, checking their accounts and signing waivers all on their own on the branded app, that takes your company brand to a whole new level. At the end of the day, it's not just about features but the way the platform supports your business and makes your life easier. That's why so many studios are making the leap from Mindbody every year: it's really complicated to use and there's just no support for your business! We're really pleased to hear that we were able to exceed your expectations in the migration and that means a lot to us because everything we do as a company revolves around the customer. Thank you for choosing WellnessLiving!

Clunky software, dishonesty - all they care about is making the sale.

Pros
Retention reporting feature is well thought out.If your business model aligns with the system, I am sure it would be great, if it doesn't, expect headaches.
Cons
Overall culture of dishonesty. Sales team told me the software had features it didn't have. I tried to work with the software and find a way around this. I couldn't. I then tried to leave the software, this was virtually impossible, the first customer retention team member I spoke to promised they would create a feature to fix the issue I had within the month & that they would get back to me, they did not get back to me and I had to follow up. This happened several times until finally I ended up being allocated to someone else. This person organised a 50% refund for me, which I am grateful for. They advised that all I had to do was re enter my card details into WL and then they would organise the refund. I did this in good faith. I was then advised that if I did not agree to continue with wellness living, I would not be given the 50% refund which had already been agreed upon! I was extremely angry about this. To receive the 50% refund, I have had to agree to stay with the software with no date to which the issue I raised would be fixed.
The software is slow and clunky (2021 Macbook Pro). It regularly has glitches. It takes our customers to our competitors booking form instead of ours, if they have previously logged in with them and not cleared their cache/cookies in between. Our customers find the booking workflow/process extremely confusing which has cost us sales & time. Creating emails is a clunky process.

Overall, I am extremely pleased with Wellness Living. They do a great job working with those that use their software. They know who is paying their bills. Our success means Wellness Living will be successful. They really look for ways to make me more successful and profitable.
Pros
As the owner of 3 Yoga Studios and used 4 different software packages to manage my businesses. Once I got use to the ways to use Wellness Living, I noticed all of the ways the designers have made moving between forms, client information, classes, and much more; I have to rate it the best that I've used.
The biggest value is the Tech Support. They are all friendly, patient, and well versed on the software. I have raised a couple of interesting questions and if they felt they did not have the correct answer, they asked for input from their team. I've called at a busy time, left a incomplete message, only to receive a call to insure that I was helped.
Lastly, each time an Update comes out, it DOES improve my ability to manage my businesses.
Cons
The only option that I have asked for was a tool / solution to manage Substitutes for Classes. I have only found one supplier do it well.
Wellness Living provides a easy system to send in requests for improvements. I have raised this with them. I sense that they will have a solution out soon.

Overall, WellnessLiving has been a great addition to our business. It allows us to have one platform to manage current members, schedule classes and events, and create a variety of purchase options for clients while also providing solid automated marketing options to continue to build our business.
Pros
This software has unlimited options and the ability to meet the needs of fitness studios. We use the class scheduling feature primarily. It is straightforward and easy to implement and maintain. If we need to change or cancel a class, the system walks you through a simple interface to cancel and sends notifications out to clients right away. Additionally, it can act as a CRM tool, allowing you to create and implement marketing campaigns, follow leads up, create visit and purchase campaigns, etc. The system makes marketing super simple and easy to implement.
Cons
The most challenging to work with is the learning curve. Because the system is so robust and has so many features, you need every minute of the three one-hour onboarding calls to set the system up. If you need to change anything in your scheduling, calendar, purchase options, etc. it can feel overwhelming as they all connect together. if you miss a piece in one area, your change does appear, or worse doesn't work the way you expect. The upside is their support team is awesome and responds quickly to requests.

Hey Colleen,
Thanks for the terrific review! It's so much simpler to manage and coordinate all the different areas of your business when you have it all under one login. Just set it up, and the built-in automations handle staff access permissions, reminder emails, marketing campaigns and countless other tasks. You can then use the valuable time saved for other things. Even just 30 min time savings per day, that's an extra 3.5 hours/week or about 15 hours/month you can spend running classes, or personal training sessions, which means more money in your pocket. We're also really big on support because we want to be sure you're fully equipped to make best use of our software for your business. Please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team any time you have a question or would like a walk-through on the software. Our specialists love answering questions and they're passionate about helping businesses succeed. Thank you for choosing WellnessLiving!
