Über Momence
Mit Ribbon kannst du dein Lehrgeschäft mit Ticketing, Terminplanung, Mitgliedschaften, Videobibliotheken und vielem mehr online führen.
Easy to use, integrated functionality with everything I need in one place, constantly improving, adapting and responding to and open to my recommendations and needs.
The memberships and appts and the boards are confusing to me. I have alot of different options and I have to do a "work-around" to get things to work.

Momence - A good health/wellness scheduling system!
Kommentare: Momence has been a fairly simple platform to use with quite a bit of functionality - scheduling , livestreaming, payment processing - for our health/wellness arm of the business
Vorteile:
Extremely easy to use from the administrative side
Nachteile:
Clients occasionally report glitches in payment processing as well as receiving links to class signups at the beginning of their payment cycle - this has been an ongoing issue and has always been resolved, but sometimes it has taken up to 5 days to resolve
In Betracht gezogene Alternativen:
Great system appointment and health based features have some ways to go, and data migration approach needs significant improvement
Kommentare: I think Momence is a great tool, I think the team is great overall, and they are very attentive to customers needs and take on feedback. I think there is a higher focus on gyms and other event based businesses than appointment based businesses and a higher focus on fitness and "wellness" over health (e.g physios and medial massage) so something to consider. A couple of my leaves are 1) the payment processor fees are very high 2) the limited options for payment integrations and 3) no HIPCAS or HealthPoint health fund claims integration 4) subscription fees are in US so you are paying extra for that from concession fees 5) which I think has been the biggest let down by far was the migration. It's left a very bitter taste in my mouth, and I think the worse part is the lack of genuine care shown for how the gaps in the migration processes affects business owners, the lack of ownership of the gaping holes in the process and what seems like no desire to even consider reviewing the process for improvement.
Vorteile:
I love the simplicity, the elegance of the app, the richness of features and the pace at which they make changes. I also love the availability of support both chat and phone. I love that the product and dev teams act on feedback quickly. I think its fairly well priced for the feature set and if they keep improving at the pace that they are then I'm looking forward to the future.
Nachteile:
The biggest draw back for me was the data migration. I'm utterly disappointed that 1) they did not disclose how limited there import approach was, in fact it was the opposite 2) it seemed like they let me put a tonne of instructions to gather to placate me, then they promptly ignored a lot of it 3) decision were made on my behalf (e.g. they imported my appointments as events, they showed the appointments payment as taken by the person that imported them on the date of the import rather that the original data) 4) the team didn't think to look at anomalies or confirm anything with me or do any data checks or reviews before committing the data it's been 2 months and my data is still useless. The thing the migration team did really well which I thank them for is consolidating duplicates and importing our gift cards.
BETTER options don't choose momence
Kommentare: Seems like customer service has no idea what to do. Has no idea how their system works. Until you get higher up or work with people who are on the manger side of things, good luck getting anything figured out through chat or email. Talk to a supervisor to get somewhere.
Vorteile:
I like the texting and in app features. That is about all.
Nachteile:
We moved to momence because they "SOLD" us on we are so much better than wellness living. That won't happen here. Don't worry you will love this softeware more because its newer. Ever since we became customers it has been Thanks for your business, talk to you later. Billing issues, App issues, Software outages, Clients not being billed properly. Reports not working. Wish we would have stayed with Wellness living! At least the issues would have been the same and we would have been in the boat we are in without paying more for a system and software that we were told was better than WL. Don't recommend them. You get what you pay for and there are far better options than momence.

Lots of features, great service
Vorteile:
I chose momence because their features include sliding scale pricing, payment plans, and integrations with all our studio partners. Their customer service has been really great and responsive.
Nachteile:
It's a bit pricier than some other options, but for our 20 person studio it offers the perfect amount of features which have made our students stickier.

Seamless Business Enhancement with Momence
Kommentare: I can't speak highly enough about Momence and the transformative impact it has had on our business operations. The leads functionality has streamlined our lead management process, providing an intuitive and efficient way to capture, organise, and convert leads seamlessly. The integration of Momence Sequences has been a game-changer in our customer experience strategy. It has allowed us to create and implement personalised, automated campaigns that have significantly enhanced our engagement with clients. The ability to create visually appealing email campaigns from a single platform has had significant cost and time savings. The support from the Momence team has been exceptional. Their responsiveness and commitment to customer success make them a standout partner. Sometimes it feels like they are reading our minds - we often think of a feature/enhancement only to have it realised the next day! Momence has become an indispensable tool in our business toolkit, and we're excited about the continued growth and innovation it brings to our operations.
Vorteile:
I love the simplicity of Momence. There are no complicated interfaces - everything makes sense and is easy to set up and use. Momence has thought of almost everything you need to run a successful studio and has brought it together in one platform. This means there is no need for complicated 3rd party links to CRM tools or leads management software or a seperate video hosting platform for on-demand classes/courses. Momence puts you in total control of your client journey from prospect to member.
Nachteile:
I think Momence can do better in terms of client education. While I can find most of what I am looking for, sometimes the explanations are not overly detailed or don't have a business use case. This could be because they are continually innovating and improving their product. I can envision a "Momence Academy" with step by step guides of all the features and how they can benefit your business. I'm sure it's on the roadmap!

Good app but very slow and uninformed customer service lets them down
Kommentare: Customer service makes the whole experience deeply frustrating. They could introduce tiers of priorities for queries. And have at least one actual developer to hand. They could have extra VIP support for a fee... So much that could be done.
Vorteile:
Easy-ish to set up and manage. Easy to embed on website. Basic immediate support for the easier questions. Regular features. Economical compared to most booking systems. Momence are constantly improving and changing things.
Nachteile:
Customer service are polite but they use a script and it is infuriating. They also have almost no understanding of the app or how it works. The answers they can give are very very limited. After spending a long time going round in circles explaining to them their own app, they then escalate it to the developers/. The developers usually take a week, or more to reply. This is of course of no use if you are running a class that day or have an event which needs marketing. Losing a week is a long time. The developers respond by email and if not resolved will take anything from a day to two weeks to respond. After a year I am being driven quite mad with this. The limitations on embedding on a website are problematic, You can only embed one type of class/ event per web page. So I am having to design my site around that. Momence are constantly improving and changing things, but this can often affect the price - hugely. Especially for smaller businesses like mine. So I have to keep an eye on this and find ways around some of their higher fees. They are catering less and less for roaming businesses, that don't have a permanent home.

Yoga Studio Booking Software
Kommentare: Our overall experience has been postitive and I am looking forward to using even more of the features and functionality.
Vorteile:
I love all the features and fucntionality! Especially the integrated CRM that includes texting, email and staff reminders. The ability to create automated marketing sequences. The On Demand Video Library and easy livestream Zoom integration. The customized permissions that you can assign to teachers and staff. The review management funtion, leads integration, live chat support, marketing support and their mobile app. Momence was one of the only studio software that had everything we needed!
Nachteile:
The on boarding was a bit of a challenge. We had some issues with the transferring of data from our previous software and a couple bumps in the road on transition day. The software takes awhile to learn and is not as intuitive or user friendly as I would like for set-up and ease of use, but now that I'm more familiar and comfortable using it, I am very happy we made the switch.
Extremely happy and impressed with Momence
Vorteile:
First and foremost, our customers prefer it over other software we have used. We spend far less time trouble-shooting client booking issues with Momence than with previous software. On the back end, we find Momence to be very user-friendly. Set-up was pretty easy; it took a lot of time because of the size of our operation, but we were fully supported every step of the way. The software is very intuitive so we really didn't need much support. We love the flexibility available in programming classes, events, appointments, retreats and semesters (series), and the options for how far out to display classes to the public separate from what displays to us on the back end. Momence combines in-person and virtual classes into one for payroll purposes, saving me a lot of time compared to WL. Analytics and Reports meet my business needs and they've been very responsive about suggestions for new reports. The marketing suite is great with tons of templates to use and options to build custom campaigns too. Support is super responsive and the techs all seem really knowledgable. I love this software.
Nachteile:
There's not much that we don't like, which is why I'm writing this review after 6 months of use. I suppose I'd prefer it to cost less but I've learned that one gets what one pays for!
In Betracht gezogene Alternativen:
I have time.
Kommentare: See above. Amazing to think of how much money I save each month (minimum $200/mo in savings) plus how much time I have to create content instead of uploading, downloading and sharing.
Vorteile:
Momence has taken me from 4 platforms to one. I used to have to record on zoom, upload to vimeo, send to clients and use the payment processing and booking through another platform. Momence does this all automatically, reducing my work hours and my expenses by a substantial amount. It is affordable. The help desk is unbelievable for me and also for my clients -- timely and they always solve the issues. This is a company that is always improving itself and is starting from an already impressive base. I truly would recommend them to anyone! Oh and I have used both MindBody and Wellness Living previously. I have been in this industry and a studio owner for over 25 years....
Nachteile:
In creating online courses, I do find it confusing to get all of the necessary pieces to work together -- subscription vs on demand course etc. I am learning to use the community tier feature and think it could have more but I am still learning so unsure....

Solid system, quite happy so far
Kommentare: Overall Im quite pleased. There were a few occasions that it took quite a long time to get a response and repeated emails from our end were needed to find answers. The helpdesk chat usually response quickly and is helpful, but to talk with someone on the phone an appointment needs to be scheduled far out in advance. We are still figuring out a few things, not everything is straight forward. I cannot always find the help info/videos, unless a hepldesk person sends me a link. There are still functionalities that I need to explore. We are a bit surprised how long it takes for funds to show up in our account after running it in the system. This is longer than what we are used to with different processors. We also hope that the international component of our business can be figured out.
Vorteile:
We are very happy with the online video library options. Also live streaming had a few more options that we were looking for that others didnt have. In general also happy with most other features of the software.
Nachteile:
There some components that require extra steps to connect together, When a mistake was made or when we were trying to figure the best way to set things up for our use, it wasnt easy to just delete parts.

Monumental Waste of Time
Kommentare: One month after launch I requested to cancel my 12 month subscription which I paid up front - I was told I could request a refund at any time - and while they agreed to refund me, it's been nearly 7 weeks and while I continue to have issues with the software I have had no funds at all returned to me. I have had more issues in less than 3 months than I ever did in 4 years with my previous software. The product did not perform or provide as I was told it would and it's been a huge waste of my time and energy. Particularly disappointed with the lack of customer service.
Vorteile:
The only positive was the ease of SMS usage. I have nothing positive to say otherwise.
Nachteile:
I was sold this software as an all in one solution, and while we had demos and I had access to a limited free version in the lead up to launch, it was only when we went live I was able to see the limited functionality of the on-demand and course library - which was essentially a step down from the previous product I used. Additionally, the transition was anything but smooth, all of our memberships were moved over, however these all had issues such as being cancelled for no reason but still allowing bookings for classes or double charging members. As an administrator and business owner I have been locked out TWICE in the space of 6 weeks - both times for a period of more than 72 hours. I had to escalate the issue myself to get it resolved.
Poor software
Kommentare:
Momence support is poor. Their staff are not well trained to resolve issues when they arise.
We also frequently get charged more than what is stipulated in our contract and have to contact them for refunds.
Vorteile:
Momence is a rudimentary software for fitness businesses. They present themselves well and is simple to use if you don't have many clients or classes scheduled.
Nachteile:
over time there have been multiple issues and glitches in the software. They can take months to respond and with our latest issue, it has been 2 months with no follow up even though they have said it's been escalated and put on high priority. I hate to think how slow low priority is. With other software we have used, a late cancellation would usually mean a lost credit however, we have noted multiple clients who have been able to rebook with their credit after a late cancellation. We were also overcharged by over $10000 once which was another mess. I could go on and on with all the issues we have faced. Any pros are most definitely outweighed by the cons.
New Momence - Pilates Studio User of 5 studios
Kommentare:
We have been with Mindbody for more than 8 years, I hated mind body however thought it would be too hard to transition to another provider plus they would all be the same.
I was absolutely wrong!
The transition was tough, I wont deny.
However the benefits outweigh the transition. The ease of customer contacts via in-app messaging, contacting all clients on a class list, sms, emails and marketing contacts are amazing!
Then their customer service is fabulous, they are always there to help and also take your feedback on board and actually action feedback also.
Mindbody would NEVER do that, even when I have 5 studios!
If your thinking of finding a system that will help reduce admin hours and enable you to contact via one point of contact all retained in the Momence inbox, I highly recommend them.
Vorteile:
Service and customer support of real people
Nachteile:
Our data transition was a little rough moving from Mindbody to Momence, which I think is to be expected with 5 studios and large membership bases. Momence support team really did do their best and were always contactable through the period.
Momence = innovation & excellent customer service
Kommentare: We offer fitness classes that bring joy & freedom for our clients bodies. Our booking system needs to mimic that, the steps a client needs to take to do this should be simple, seamless & just as joyful! Momence in just a short time, 1 mth in whilst the change from MB to momence for our clients was big for them & for us, the positive feedback so far has helped reaffirm our decision to change over. Not to mention that Momence is happy to learn from its clients and customers just as much as we are. To learn from what isn’t working & proactively and quickly remedy what needs to change. Today - that is appreciated and so valued - thank you.
Vorteile:
Zoom integration is just part of the platform. Video On demand library easy to set up, filter and manage videos 5 stars, scheduling multiple classes, hybrid classes, message clients through the software many of the features are just part of your subscription and not an expensive add on. Not to mention customer service, support team and [SENSITIVE CONTENT] incredibly easy to work with and communicate. Support is responsive and timely and it’s a real person who is genuinely interested in solving answering your queries. I would recommend Momence for absolutely any fitness, wellness studio, events business Well done team - thank you for creating and developing the software & being malleable towards continuous improvement that comes from listening to customer both business & its clients.
Nachteile:
Notifications of New Client's offered expiring Lead management tools Website integration is ok but leads to Momence website - be great if it interfaces seamlessly into studios website.
Beyond terrible experience
Kommentare: As others have noted, there are serious glitches and Momence “support” is entirely lacking. I have awhile left on my contract but will switch the MOMENT I finish demos and researching new options. Dealing with Momence is a small business owner’s worst nightmare. I reported an issue a week and a half ago and they refuse to help me. First they said it was resolved, second they lied and said it was my fault and third they said I had to fix the problem myself. They will respond to your inquiry after a few days, but they won’t help you. I felt like pulling my hair out and banging my head against the wall with the nonsensical responses I received. In all that time, they could have just fixed the issue! In addition to my waivers and membership contracts being lost with “signature outdated” (a feature they added without my knowledge or consent), I have had confirmation emails go out with the WRONG time (I mean, come on! That’s basic!) and I’ve had students show up to the studio for classes that happened on the past because they displayed incorrectly. Save yourself the headache and choose a competent company! Facebook groups in my field are filled with other users who have had similar and even worse issues with Momence. I can’t wait to be done with them.
Vorteile:
It used to be good 2+ years ago. Something drastic has changed and it’s very disappointing.
Nachteile:
Customer service and support is beyond a joke.
Momence Is Helping My Business Grow
Kommentare: Having the options of courses, classes and semesters has been valuable. Having all the different payment options has been great. The more I get to know the program, the more I realize all the information I can access and manipulate. As things are smoothing out, it is becoming a time saver for me. The customer support has been very appreciated by a few of my customers. For me the Q & A is awesome!! Thanks for all the time an effort you have put into this feature. Having a zoom link right on the class listing and Momence taking care of adding all the links has been amazing.
Vorteile:
The calendar on my website where people can buy right from the website or jump to their account, is a great feature. I think this feature has brought in a few more folks. Many of my loyal customers have commented that this platform is very user friendly. I have tried a couple of different platforms and there is always a learning curve but switching to Momence seems to have presented less difficulty.
Nachteile:
My bugaboo at first was setting the time of a class and realizing I had to hit return to set the time or it would revert to a default by the time I got down to hit the save button or finish putting in the other class parameters. The time zone thing also got a few of my customers who live in Fairbanks but have phone numbers from other time zones. I did figure out how to change that so any information that went out went out reflecting our time zone.
Forward Thinking Software
Kommentare: Although we had a few hiccups during the onboarding experience, we appreciated the immediate support and answers to questions, as well as timely resolution to support issues during start up. We still have a lot to learn and hoping to maximize the customer success contact to help with this.
Vorteile:
Momence is forward thinking in its features and open to feedback to support future updates. Their support center is very quick in their responses and work to resolve any issues as fast as possible. In addition to an onboarding team, a customer success contact is also assigned to provide ongoing training on the software to increase confidence in the system. Having the opportunity to demo the system and have personal hands-on experience also helped solidify our decision with moving to Momence.
Nachteile:
Would like to see calendar integrations in the future, as well as future scheduling for recurring classes to be able to update ahead of time versus waiting for the minimum 5 classes ahead. Need the ability to restrict classes by age as well as an overall calendar that shows all classes, appointments etc. for entire staff with the public view being able to add closing days. Otherwise, the software has much more than previous software used.
Momence is on my winning team.
Kommentare: I have had a very positive experience with Momence. It took a bit to retrain my senior members to work the new platform when I switched from another product, but most people just coming into the experience say it is very straightforward and easy to navigate.
Vorteile:
They are pro active at keeping the software updated and adding new features that enhance the customer experience and the admin experience.
Nachteile:
Sometimes I have to do a workaround if an instructor wants something that the software just isn't set up for. But I have always been able to find a workaround.
Clean, concise, and evolving software perfect for my needs.
Kommentare: Momence has made class registration easier for our clients. There are less questions for me to handle and manage as an owner. Other elements that have made our business better: website integration, SMS, simple ways to customize the program, clean reports, easy ways to market your classes, and overall it was easy for us to learn and implement.
Vorteile:
Momence offers everything we need in a simple and fluid format. It is easy for our staff to use as well as our clients. I save many hours each week on administrative tasks.
Nachteile:
I haven't really found an issue with the software. My only wish is that I had more training time on the software. I'm a hands on learner, so I need a bit more time understanding how Momence works for my specific set up.
march 2022 leela yoga
Kommentare: Overall its a good experience. I like that y'all are making changes frequently and are pretty flexible! It would be cool to have a user council call with other Momence users and discuss best practices.
Vorteile:
I think it's pretty intuitive and you're able to easily make changes to the schedule. I think the sms texting is awesome - I also think adding a customized sms texting group would be amazing! I love the staff they are very helpful! I also love the tagging feature an saving of static vs dynamic "lists". It would be nice to have a feature to auto email a student that has only been to the studio one time in 3 months or set a time frame automatically.
Nachteile:
I think reporting needs to improve and the way to download reports. For example pulling a teachers classes you should be able to do in one download all classes and individual students and info in one file. Not individual files for each class. Also, I think it would be helpful to distinguish between membership and class passes for example drop-in or a 5 or 10 class pass should not fall under the category of membership - membership should be revenue committed for a continual basis by contract. Also it would be nice on the user profile to separate out the buying/purchases from the attendance
Great idea but poor implementaion
Kommentare: I was hoping for a better experience with custormer service in setting up my software and making sure things run smoothly. The chat help is only useful at showing what video to look at but they don't seem to have the knowledge to be more help with specific issues. Emails to support don't even get a response that the message was received and that is the same with billing.
Vorteile:
I love the CRM and ability to better interact with my clients from my scheduling software.
Nachteile:
It is very hard to see what the clients are being charged when using discounts and special offers, sometimes I void a charge but it leaves the visit as "paid". The reports are off.
still figuring it out
Kommentare: help is available but can be passive agresive, especially when you are just learning their system. Help to a degree then they just send you to a video that doesn't always answer your specific question.
Vorteile:
their chat support, but they do not have screen share option. So when you have an issue you can't just show them in a screen share. Video database, and zoom integration although this is a huge part of my dislike because it is glitching.
Nachteile:
cannot setup a class multiple days a week. If you offer the same type of class two or more days a week instead of being able to select M, W, F you have to set that class up three time's instead of once. Setting up a class takes forever! With so many options, that should just be a template... which they are finally coming out with. Duplicating recurring classes i ran into glitch's, we haven't even fully launched.
Adaptable to studio needs
Kommentare: In the beginning a lot of our packages and memberships were inputted wrong which was a big headache and stress for me and handeling with clients. Since then has been fixed and everyone is so nice and helpful at problem solving.
Vorteile:
It's great that it's a new company willing to grow WITH your needs. They were able to adjust things to suit our needs and the clients, by how they book to our different studio spaces. Our clients found the software easier to use then MINDBODY it was a short transition to get use to the new system.
Nachteile:
I think there's room for improvement looking ahead to which classes in the future to edit or cancel for holidays. Someties our clients book ahead before I've had time to adjust.
In Betracht gezogene Alternativen:
Great Experience, would highly recommend!
Kommentare: Its been great and couldn't have asked for more.
Vorteile:
The support that was given through the change over from one booking software to this one. They have a quick response team that made my feel super supported through the transition and afterwards. I also love how i can have an unlimited amount of video content on here and the app is a great feature.
Nachteile:
Customers would love it if they could click onto multiple classes and then go through to payment rather than clicking to book and then pay for each individual class.
A Diamond In the Rough of Software Options!
Kommentare: Momence is more up-to-date software with all the features I need for more than half of what I was spending before. I am so pleased with with Momence and all that is has to offer for me, my teachers and my students!
Vorteile:
Momence is extremely easy to learn, implement and use on a regular basis. It's also very customer friendly! My clients are very happy with the improvement from our old software to book and purchase online.
Nachteile:
The marketing tools are amazing and can also be improved to add more than one variable when determining who should receive a campaign. But I know they are always upgrading and adding features, so I look forward to seeing this option soon!
