About Hapana
Next generation software for multi site boutique fitness businesses designed to elevate engagement and fuel growth.
The ease of use and the functionality that enables our brand to run the business. We have 20 Listen To Your Body studios and the software meets our needs and some.
The one con I find a little frustrating is when searching for a customer you must have the exact details - it doesn't auto suggest from just a few letters.

From rebrand to growth: Hapana's unmatched support
Comments: Overall, our experience with Hapana has been very positive. The platform has made our operations more efficient, allowing us to focus more on delivering a high-quality experience for our clients. The customer support team has been responsive and helpful whenever we had questions or needed assistance. Hapana has become an essential tool in our day-to-day operations, and we look forward to continuing to leverage its capabilities to enhance our business. Additionally, Hapana played a crucial role in making our recent rebrand seamless, providing exceptional customer service throughout the process. Their team's responsiveness and attention to detail ensured that every aspect of our transition was smooth and efficient, allowing us to focus on delivering an outstanding experience to our clients!
Pros:
As a growing business, VAURA has greatly benefited from Hapana's support and dedication to continuous improvement. Their team has been with us every step of the way, providing exceptional customer service and ensuring we have the tools we need to succeed. Hapana actively engages with brands like ours to gather feedback and make updates that enhance their product. This commitment to evolution ensures that the platform adapts to our changing needs, helping us stay ahead in the industry. Additionally, the integrated reporting and analytics in Hapana provide valuable insights into our business performance, helping us make informed decisions.
Cons:
One challenge with Hapana is that, unlike larger competitors like Mindbody, it can be difficult to get people to recognise its full potential. Because Hapana is not as widely known, clearly outlining its unique advantages and innovative features is crucial for its future success. Highlighting the ways Hapana excels—such as its personalised customer support, commitment to evolving its platform based on user feedback, and innovative solutions tailored for growing businesses like ours—will help distinguish it in a competitive market.

Hapana review
Comments: Overall a great experience since all the issues have been sorted and great ongoing support. [sensitive content hidden] has been great with helping us!
Pros:
The user friendly app is great and there is great support. [sensitive content hidden] has been really great at helping me with any questions I have and really helped me understand how to use Hapana
Cons:
At the start our app kept getting delayed and we had some issues with accounts from the web version of Hapana
Alternatives Considered: ABC Glofox, Momence and Mindbody
Reasons for Switching to Hapana: User friendly and own app was included I have also used it before at BFT
Best Studio Management and Member App
Comments: The team at Hapana are dedicated and supportive in providing the best technology for managing our studios.
Pros:
The backend system allows for you to manage multiple studios seemlessly. The front end app is user friendly and our members love using it. The support you receive is second to none.
Cons:
There is definitely some room for improvement with the layout and cross functionality between the platforms. However, the team are continously rolling out updates.

Thank you for sharing your feedback on our platform and team Amrieh! Our team work hard to create a great partner relationship, so its amazing to hear you appreciate their work and support.
Please do not use this platform
Comments: Terrible ever
Pros:
Nothing. please when you are considering this platform, please use the other option
Cons:
1. Slow CS 2. Very low capacity for IT development => Most IT guys are outsourcing in India3. Booldy expansive then product quality4. Only care about expansion even platform has lots of problems5. If extra requests, you have to yourself. They do not care about your request.
HIGHLY recommend [sensitive content hidden] as your Account Manager!
Comments: It's overall been excellent. Almost 3 years underway with our partnership with Hapana and it's been quite a tricky road to learn the system needless to say, given both our business and Hapana themselves are always adapting to the current market demands. But having the dedicated/allocated account manager, [sensitive content hidden] recently assigned to us, it's made my 'getting up to speed' way way faster, allowing the business as a whole, tighten areas of Hapana that I don't believe we were utilising to the fullest, but now we are. Thanks again [sensitive content hidden]! Your wealth of knowledge has been wonderful! You really know you stuff, it's impressive how quick you can get me an answer - not just any answer, but an answer that is a solution.
Pros:
My account manager [sensitive content hidden] has been absolutely amazing. Couldn't praise her enough. I'm not tech savvy, so this platform has been quite a challenge for me, but [sensitive content hidden] has been able to address every one of my questions and been able to provide a timely answer or workaround. The platform itself doesn't seem as complicated to navigate once I learned what I'm doing, but I'd have been very stuck if it weren't for [sensitive content hidden] -so well done.
Cons:
Without a dedicated accounts manager, like mine - [sensitive content hidden] - raising service tickets can be quite lengthy. Whilst all the team work tirelessly to address all the questions directed at them, raising service tickets loses the more personalised aspect, as tickets generally get addressed by another staff, different to the one you might have previously used/received a response for - more often than not, I'm needing to explain my situation over again so they understand what it is that i'm asking, as our company is a little unique to the mainstream client accounts.

Dog House Loves Hapana!
Comments: In one word: easy! Love our app, love Micky & the team at Hapana. 5 stars!
Pros:
The support staff have helped me through any question I’ve ever had in a timely manner. My rep has been supportive during any studio transition we have had and helped develop a personalized app for my studio. The reports are functional and provide all the data I’ve ever needed or wanted to find. Booking has always been a breeze for clients!
Cons:
The price point is a bit higher than I would love but you get what you pay for!

Hapana meets a complicated business model and nails it.
Comments: My overall experience has been great. I came from Mindbody and have researched a number of other scheduling platforms. There has not been am issue Hapana won't tackle and I have had amazing response to any concerns I have had. My clients experience is even more important to me and they love the app and the website integration.
Pros:
The custom app for client side interaction, my personal customer service rep, the growth in features over the past few years, the ability to accommodate my complicated pay structure, multiple studios and new WIX platform integration for a seamless client experience.
Cons:
I would like to have one place to enter a new teacher, class type, client, promotion, etc and then be able to associate that new teacher etc with the studio locations they will be working from - rather than having to enter that new teacher at all three locations. Also, everyone is paying with Apple Pay and we cannot accept it. This is becoming a bigger issue in my area. We would also prefer to have an in studio CC swiper to save so much time inputting card info at the front desk.
Alternatives Considered: HubSpot Marketing Hub, Vagaro, ZENOTI, Mariana Tek and WellnessLiving
Reasons for Choosing Hapana: Bad customer service and too many widgets to get the job done. The last straw was a 36 hour hold time to speak to someone.
Switched From: Mindbody
Reasons for Switching to Hapana: The app option and customer service. Also it felt more prepared for my industry rather than spa.

Extremely Satisfied
Pros:
As a gym owner who's implemented One Hapana into our daily operations, I couldn't be more pleased with the impact it's had on our business. The platform is a game-changer, streamlining client management, scheduling, and financials—all in one user-friendly interface. Its features have significantly reduced administrative workload, allowing us to focus more on client interaction and service quality. The integration capabilities with other fitness apps and wearables have also enhanced our ability to provide personalized fitness plans. Overall, Hapana has not only improved our operational efficiency but also elevated our client satisfaction. Highly recommend it to any fitness business looking to upgrade their management system.
Cons:
While Hapana has been a fantastic tool for our gym, a few cons are worth mentioning. The initial setup and customization can be time-consuming, requiring a significant upfront investment of time to tailor the platform to specific business needs. Additionally, for those less tech-savvy, there might be a slight learning curve. Lastly, while the integration with other apps is generally strong, there are a few key fitness and wellness apps that it doesn't yet support, which can limit the comprehensiveness of client data. Despite these points, the overall value and efficiency gained still make it a top choice for us.
Alternatives Considered: Exercise.com and Mindbody
Reasons for Choosing Hapana: Feedback and reviews about hapana. Zenbly’s functionality was terrible.
Reasons for Switching to Hapana: Reviews and custmwr support as well as referal.

Thank you Chris for such a detailed and thoughtful review, we really appreciate the feedback. We will definitely take on your constructive comments regarding our integrations and initial set up and hopefully get this streamlined further in the future.
Hapana wasn't the first software we used but it will be the last!
Pros:
- The wide variety of products allows us to keep all of our operations in one place! - The people! All Hapana Staff interactions we have had over the last 4 years have been enjoyable. You can tell the staff enjoy working for Hapana. - When we started with Hapana the company was very new and as such had a lot of features we wanted but were not available at the time. The team have been very good at taking feedback and ideas onboard to continually improve the offering available.
Cons:
We would love to see more communication around new feature releases. This year we have noticed more and more knowledge base articles being released which is great but would love to receive these in our inbox so we don't miss any.
Alternatives Considered: ABC Glofox, Mariana Tek and bsport
Reasons for Choosing Hapana: We switched due to value for money with the number of features and products available. We wanted a system that was truly all in one and with the use of Core, Grow, Cast and Link products we were able to achieve this. We also didn't like that MindBody advertises our competitors on their MindBody App.
Switched From: Mindbody
Reasons for Switching to Hapana: We love that Hapana is an Aussie founded company. We found that the system functionality and ease of use was much smoother with the Hapana products. We also liked that we had the ability to have an online offering of videos and content through the CAST product especially during the COVID period.

Thanks for your review Mikaela! We will certainly look into providing clearer and more frequent comms on our product releases. We are thrilled you're loving Hapana!
Love it!!!
Comments: Migration to Hapana was mostly seamless - any small hiccups (which are expected) were quickly addressed. The best transition we have made! Ample support, an amazing app for clients, great backend. I've used multiple platforms for running our business (MindBody & Zingfit) and Hapana is by far the best overall.
Pros:
Ease of use from a backend and front end. Amazing support from the team (in particular [sensitive content hidden] !) Also like to see the platform evolving and releasing new features!
Cons:
Small con! Scheduling classes is timely (need to have an option to repeat for up to 7 days in order for the repeat option to be effective).
Alternatives Considered: Mindbody
Reasons for Choosing Hapana: No support, no app, company was behind the times
Switched From: ZingFit
Reasons for Switching to Hapana: Wanted to steer away from Mindbody as we used them before and preferred a brand that was more niche. Preferred how the platform appeared (widgets, app etc).

Hi Jess, thank you for taking the time to review our platform, we really appreciate all your feedback. We pride ourselves on innovating our offering and enabling our clients and partners to heighten client engagement & grow your business
Client and Lead Management in one place
Pros:
I like the workflows in Grow which give us the ability to streamline all our leads in one place and automatically follow through with a highly customizable process. Most member platforms I have worked with claim to have a built in CRM, but in order to maintain our follow through systems, we always had to use a separate platform before using Hapana
Cons:
There are limitations with the member platform that make it inconvenient to set anything up with a past start/invoice date.
Alternatives Considered: ABC Glofox
Reasons for Choosing Hapana: We were looking for a member management platform that had actual CRM capabilities.
Switched From: EZFacility
Reasons for Switching to Hapana: because of a direct business referral, but also because of the features

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review Lissa, we really appreciate the feedback, especially pleased to hear about your positive experiences with GROW.
Happy Customer
Comments: I made the switch from MindBody around 2019 due to seeing competitors apps look alot flashier than ours and it is something I am very glad I did. We have been very happy with the product and service Hapana provide our business.
Pros:
Fairly user friendly considering the depth of features on offer, good support team
Cons:
No customer support via phone, but that's clutching at straws as email support is very responsive - just sometimes if you're in the zone and need an answer there and then it can slow things down.

ATÓRA Training Review
Comments: I've dealt with [sensitive content hidden] for my whole time with Hapana, and I can happily say that he has made the experience very enjoyable and helped us with all questions or concerns.
Pros:
The functionality to be able to create your own packages and memberships. Gives us the control to grow our businesses effectively.
Cons:
The reporting can be hard to find and very time consuming. A accurate dashboard would make this incredible.
