I felt confident using the software and teaching it to my staff. I loved having an APP for my studio without sharing it with my competitors. > > **Cons**: It was expensive. The software was a little complicated on some settings. A few staff members needed extra time and support to use it. > > If Mariana Tek was more affordable I would have stayed with the company. I was very happy with the overall experience. ----- ### "Mariana Tek is the BEST fitness studio platform in the market\!" — 5.0/5 > **Marisol** | *1 April 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Mariana Tek’s user-friendly interface and automation features make it easy for both our team and clients to navigate. The reporting and analytics tools provide valuable insights, and the integration with other platforms helps streamline our workflow. Plus, the customer support team is always responsive and helpful. > > **Cons**: While the platform is robust, there are occasional customization options could be expanded to better fit unique studio needs like creating tags, adding multiple items into a membership/ product offerings, and additional gamification options. > > Overall, our experience with Mariana Tek has been fantastic. It has helped us grow and manage our studio more efficiently, allowing us to focus on delivering an exceptional client experience. The platform continues to evolve, and we appreciate the team's commitment to improving and supporting their partners. I would rate Mariana Tek highly for its intuitive design, reliability, and seamless integration with our studio operations. It has significantly improved our booking experience and backend management, making it an essential tool for our business. ----- ### "Very challenging software to get set up properly, support is tough" — 3.0/5 > **Jason** | *9 September 2024* | Individual & Family Services | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: The app is pretty good but generic and limited in customization. Essentials of the software works once you finally get implemented properly > > **Cons**: Bugs that go unfixed. Terrible implementation(ie setup) process. The customer Success team is a cohort system that is chat only, it takes forever to resolve almost anything. Upcharge for any new features. MT and Growth (former Brandbot) are run like two different companies and often send you in between them for support > > I tried to hold off on writing a bad review for MT but this past weekend where I was given bad information again by support prompted me to give others a warning of caution. We were a new studio and chose MT over Mind Body as it seemed more modern and a better user experience. From the start we had issues, our implementation manager was just condescending and frustrated because we did not completely understand what she was often phrasing in a way that was confusing and just flat-out mislead us on the waiver functionality of the product. Since then it has just been issue after issue that takes months to resolve. I could not edit my transactional messages for 6 months due to a bug and I am currently 30 days into a bug that prevents waitlist messaging. The Growth add-on is overpriced to start and should not be an add-on because MT is incomplete without it and any new feature they come out with is an overpriced upsell that is still beta quality with limitations and bugs. I went 3 stars because I can run my business on this software and do like some features and see the potential to be better. The cost of change for a new business will likely keep me fighting with it because we just don't have the time to go through that process again. My ask to MT is to just do better, stop forcing your customers to self-diagnose problems, and point at your sister company when it is an internal problem. You have some very capable people working for you but they seem hamstrung to help and your cohort system often exposes the weakness in your software and your staff. ----- ### "3rd vendor in 3 years - wish we had switched sooner" — 5.0/5 > **London** | *3 February 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The app features - ease of use for our employees. How quickly they were churning out improvements in the client-facing app (year in review was awesome), the business app and their transparency of their product roadmap and allowing clients (studios) to vote and give their opinion on the level of importance to items in the roadmap for their needs. > > **Cons**: Hmm... considering they were our 3rd vendor in 3 years - not a lot. The things we liked least would be pretty nitpicky and just wish list items from the other vendors we used or vetted. More customization in the emails - they are getting there. Sometimes it felt like we needed too many 3rd party API integrations for features that were standard with other vendors - but again they were working quickly to make those improvements and they delivered. Probably our biggest hang up was the store in the client facing app. We used it for our "potion bar" which is an adpatogenic-drink bar with smoothies, espresso and tea. That feature really isn't as f\&b industry friendly as it was sold to us. That whole section needs a customization revamp, same for in the client-facing app and how it appears. I assume most of their clients don't have a need for it to cater to food and beverage so an improvement is probably low on the totem pole, however that is one 3rd party API integration that we would welcome. Partnering with TOAST or SquareUp or some other f\&b based/friendly POS system so it is more friendly in regards to orders, food tickets for the cafe staff and reporting inventory and revenue would be great. Otherwise we were going to have to have two POS systems - one for the classes and one for the cafe - that took away the feature of clients having their card save on file and it being an easy order ahead or speedy in-studio transaction. Customization of reports cost you money - an ungodly amount and that sucked because our first vendor (a big one most people know) had a plethora of reports and would help you build what you wanted for free. The waitlist situation was a real an issue but that is because our clients got used to the waitlist feature in our previous vendor which was one of the good things about that software. > > We were really pleased with MT and wish we had switched sooner. It is beautiful, they're churning out new features and slowly eliminating the need for 3rd party API integration, transition from one vendor to the next was very smooth, most customization is easy (of course we always wanted more to stay in line with our branding but we know most studios may not be as techy savvy and that level of customization would overwhelm them) - we are just really pleased. No software is going to meet all of your needs. And the fact that we had 3 vendors in 3 years makes us more picky because we would miss a feature from one of our other vendors but most other studios are not going to have that experience. What you don't know - you don't know - so you can't miss it. ----- ### "From Mindbody to Mariana" — 4.0/5 > **Carly** | *24 July 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the user friendly nature\! It's easy for both my staff and myself to utilize. I like how easy it is to manage memberships as well. > > **Cons**: I don't like some of the functionality. I wish mass texting was available for announcements. I think its lacking in class package reminders, automations, and in the sometimes clunky nature of xplor connection. > > My overall experience has been positive. I much prefer MT to Mindbody, but I do wish some of the missing functions could be solved for. Its so much more user friendly than Mindbody but Mindbody provided opportunities for greater automations IMO. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/361403/mariana-tek?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/361403/mariana-tek) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
