Why businesses switch from Mindbody

Mindbody is a powerful, long-established platform for large gyms, studios and wellness chains. It is feature-rich and connects to a consumer fitness marketplace, but it is expensive and takes weeks to set up. For solo trainers and small studios it is usually overkill - and overpriced.

A fraction of the price - flat, not enterprise

BookAndGo's Professional plan is NZ$59/mo flat - the sweet spot for personal trainers. Mindbody prices per location on tiered plans that climb steeply as you grow, and its contract terms depend on the plan. Check their current pricing directly, because it moves. The structural difference is the point: ours is one flat fee for the whole business, theirs scales with locations and tier.

Your data, your invoices

Your documents are stored in Sydney, Australia. Sign-in, payments and some other services run overseas, and our privacy policy lists them. BookAndGo issues proper tax invoices with your GST number and NZBN out of the box, so your books stay clean from day one.

Native SMS + no-show protection

No-show protection automatically blocks repeat no-shows so empty slots stop costing you money - without the enterprise price tag.

Live in 5 minutes, not 8 weeks

Mindbody's onboarding can take around eight weeks before you're taking bookings. BookAndGo is self-serve: sign up, add your services, and your booking page is live in about five minutes. Start your 14-day free trial today - no credit card, no sales call.

No contract, no lock-in

Mindbody's contract terms depend on the plan, and cancelling may need advance notice. BookAndGo is month-to-month - stay because it works, not because you're locked in. Cancel anytime, no penalties.

Built for solo PTs and small studios

Mindbody is genuinely strong for large chains and its consumer marketplace can drive discovery. But that power comes with complexity most solo trainers never need. BookAndGo is purpose-built for one-to-twenty-provider businesses - everything you need, nothing you don't.
