Unfortunately, a couple of users reported negative experiences with ABC Fitness\u2019s support team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getapp.com\/recreation-wellness-software\/a\/datatrak\/reviews\/c81314014b\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Angi I., who has used ABC Fitness<\/a> daily for over a year, describes customer service as \u201cawful,\u201d suggesting a lack of knowledge and poor communication due to outsourcing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Angi claims customer service has even resulted in lost clients. \u201cIt\u2019s been a nightmare! We\u2019ve lost members because of the lack of help. Now they\u2019ve outsourced to India,\u201d Angi explains. \u201cWhen there\u2019s a problem, you will never get a quick solution if you get a solution at all!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getapp.com\/recreation-wellness-software\/a\/datatrak\/reviews\/d10e873376\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Another ABC Fitness user, Zeke S.<\/a>, claims he was assigned a new agent with little knowledge. Zeke also says he emailed higher-ups at ABC Fitness three times before getting a response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy assigned agent was new, and I quickly surpassed his knowledge. Many of the higher-ups wouldn&#8217;t even respond to me until a third email with a bit of attitude about needing a response,\u201d he confirms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getapp.com\/recreation-wellness-software\/a\/datatrak\/reviews\/d10e873376\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zeke says customer service was so unresponsive<\/a> that he could no longer wait for them to implement his request and had to use paper contracts, likely inconveniencing his clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been almost over a month since my request to implement an \u2018additional services\u2019 contract for our new kid zone. I have members signing paper copies because I couldn&#8217;t wait any longer to open the space,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-reports-of-technical-difficulties-with-abc-fitness-s-software\">Reports of Technical Difficulties with ABC Fitness\u2019s Software<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What types of issues might users need customer support for? According to reviews, technical issues range from fob malfunctions to confusing software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getapp.com\/recreation-wellness-software\/a\/datatrak\/reviews\/733609ccc4\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">A user named Sarah G. claims<\/a> she had issues with fobs and memberships not being activated and deactivated correctly. Customer service seemed unable to help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s constantly screwing up our memberships, not turning off fobs. I\u2019ve had to completely redo accounts. Members are left outside due to fobs not working on current accounts,\u201d she explains. \u201cThe call center tells them they don&#8217;t exist.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getapp.com\/recreation-wellness-software\/a\/datatrak\/reviews\/02d461c9ef\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Another user, Lexi K. claims<\/a> the software is overcomplicated and reports issues with DataTrak, a tool for centralizing financial data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere are way too many steps to perform one task that could be as simple as a click of a button,\u201d Lexi says. \u201cWith DataTrak, we are unable to delete repeated members because they won\u2019t allow us to. As a user for over a year and a half, I still am not able to understand this software completely.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-one-business-owner-reports-pricing-issues-with-abc-fitness\">One Business Owner Reports Pricing Issues with ABC Fitness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to easy-to-use software, you deserve a trustworthy provider.

Then, I found out they were nickel-and-diming me for all sorts of charges. I hear this is what they do,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the title of his online review, Sherman also mentions that ABC Fitness offers \u201cpoor value for money.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-wellnessliving-s-reliable-business-management-software\">WellnessLiving\u2019s Reliable Business Management Software<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At WellnessLiving, we\u2019re dedicated to transforming the way you interact with and serve your clients through trustworthy software and practices as well as unmatched customer service. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellnessliving.com\/blog\/wellnessliving-uplights-momentum-pilates-revenue-increase\/?utm_cat=465\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Peggy Cuthbert, owner of Momentum Pilates,<\/a> can attest to that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cThe shift to WellnessLiving not only saved us money and resolved operational challenges but also provided more value and ushered in a superior customer experience.
