Benvo vs Mindbody

A Mindbody alternative for clubs and hotels with fitness

Mindbody is a well known choice for independent studios, and its consumer marketplace can bring new clients. Benvo suits venues where fitness is one amenity among several, so classes, the spa and the restaurant share one guest record and one member account.

Why venues move from Mindbody

Waitlists that fill themselves

Classes charged to the member

Benvo posts class fees to the member's house account statement, where Mindbody works with a client account balance.

Fitness next to dining and spa

Pick your spot classes, credits and packs sit on the same profile as dinner and treatments, so a member's whole visit is in one place.

Questions

Still curious? Talk to someone who has run a venue.

A members club usually needs classes to sit alongside dining, the spa and courts, and to charge to a member account. Benvo does both, with pick your spot classes, packs and credits, waitlists that move automatically and charges posted to the house account statement. Mindbody is stronger for studios that rely on marketplace discovery.
