The system wouldn't allow me to give ZP 0 points. Please save yourself time and money. Do not use ZP. Their customer service terrible. Their prices increase every year with no additional benefit. Thei... See more

Nobody should ever have to deal with this company. I asked to cancel my package, they sent me the cancelation form and then continued charging me for half the package. Now, I've had to block my credit... See more

A truly ridiculous company. Don't waste your time or money. They don't care about their customers, operations are a joke and customer service is the absolute worst I have ever experienced.

Zen Planner is great

Zen Planner is great! It is pretty in depth and has A LOT of features. Which also means it can be pretty complicated. However, their call support team is fantastic. So nice and very helpful, and I call once a week! The more I learn and get comfortable with ZP the more features I am able to use to serve my business better.

Customer service is great

Customer service is great. The software itself is clunky and not very intuitive. Often hard to access during high peak class times. Limited staff app, though they have made many improvements in the last year.

Great for Yoga Studios

Zen Planner is the best option out there for yoga studio software. I did the research over many months. Zen Planner is powerful, affordable, easy to use, and run by kind and knowledgable people with our studio's best interests in mind.

Decent software

Decent software. Fair price. UX is cumbersome. Reporting is powerful but again... just not designed well.

There have been technical difficulties that have hurt our business, administration, and customer service. We have been waiting for MONTHS now to get one of the glitches fixed, with no indication as to when it will be resolved, which is really unacceptable.

Not absurdly unhappy, but miss the great customer service.

As Zen Planner has grown the customer service has taken a toll. With ZP only because it is too big of a pain to switch.

Been doing business with ZP for 2 years now. Their customer service is extremely professional and helpful. The software communicates well with my Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and fitness facility's needs. They listen to customer's needs. It's been a pleasure doing business with them.

Get your time back

Great software for getting your martial arts school up and running. One of the best aspects of this software is the reports that are set up for you. Another is the automatic email features. My favorite is the bill and payment tracker.

Customer service is way too slow when you are an overseas customer.
Also, customer service respond in a lazy manner. They don't look to see who is writing the email, they always address everyone sending an email as "Ken" (The person registered as the owner of the business) and Instead of replying with a thorough email to ask for more information should they need It, the response is often a 1 or 2 sentence and ALWAYS requires back and forth emailing for them to gather enough information.

Hey Addie, we're sorry to hear that our customer support has not been adequate when it comes to our overseas customers. Our customer advocates may need to find out more information about your specific issue, which may require some back and forth, but we apologize that it has seemed as though these conversations have been prolonged. Please know that we'll be looking into these specific communications to see how they can be improved.

Great Software

Easy to use, and includes many features that our previous scheduling software did not have. The staff were very helpful during our onboarding sessions as well.

I have been with Zen Planner for over two years and have been very pleased with the functionality on the back end for reports, and for the member experience on the athlete side. Best of all I appreciate the price. As a small business, every little bit counts.

Easy to use and modern!

I love how user friendly and affordable Zen Planner is! It is easy to use and navigate through. Zen Planner integrates with your website and social medial. There are tons of pre-made automations that can easily be edited to perfectly fit your business. Zen Planner provides free webinars on a regular basis to help teach you how to use the software. The list just goes on and on!

What I like most is that Zen Planner is MODERN!!! I love that I can have my members fill out all of their information on an iPad and then just email it to them. NO PAPER necessary!

I would (and do) recommend Zen Planner to anyone!
