If your bookings, packages, and payments run through PTminder, you\u2019ve probably heard the news and wondered: Is PTminder closing? Small business owners are reporting that it is, and that can feel unsettling, especially when your software holds so much of your business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The good news is that you have time, and a clear plan turns this into an upgrade rather than a scramble. Here are straight answers to the questions owners are asking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fitness business owners are reporting that PTminder will retire on December 31, 2027. Sign-ups also appear to be paused. Because we can\u2019t speak for PTminder, confirm the exact date and your data export options with them directly. Ask in writing, and save the reply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Either way, the sensible move is the same. Plan your switch now, while you can still choose calmly. Waiting means choosing in a hurry, probably during your busiest season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t assume your information will follow you automatically. Ask PTminder what you can export and how long that option stays open. At a minimum, save these items:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Package balances are the item owners forget most often, and clients never do. A test export now will show you what\u2019s missing while there\u2019s still time to ask questions.

When a company is closing things like customer service lines and software functionality may become unreliable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n More than it sounds like, but less than it feels. A proper switch includes demos, setup, staff training, and a stretch of running two systems side by side. Add the January rush and a few busy months, and the calendar fills quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The timeline below breaks the move into six stages and a countdown of how much time you have left.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow Much Time Do You Really Have?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
