Number of Seats/Users: Virtuagym offers discounts based on the number of users or seats. A higher volume typically leads to a better discount structure, especially for enterprise-level usage.

Commitment to a Long-Term Contract: Discounts are often provided to companies that commit to using the service for a longer period (e.g., 1-year or 3-year contracts). A longer commitment shows Virtuagym that the company is serious and willing to invest in the platform long-term.

No Active Discounts: Companies that are not already receiving other active discounts may have a better chance of qualifying for additional discounts from Virtuagym. Virtuagym reserves discounts for new customers or those not currently under promotional pricing.

Volume or Usage Commitment: Virtuagym offers discounts if you agree to a minimum amount of usage or transaction volume. This could be based on data storage, transactions, or other metrics tied to how much you will use the platform.

Enterprise-Level Negotiation: Companies that qualify as “enterprise” due to their size or complexity (e.g., having large teams, multiple departments, or geographical presence) may be eligible for additional discounts from Virtuagym. Such companies are often in a position to negotiate for better pricing.

Early Renewal or Prepayment: Virtuagym often offers discounts if you renew early or prepay for the entire contract period. This is a common approach to securing a lower price.

Here at Spendbase, our internal data shows that Virtuagym has a mixed track record among our clients, with a couple of clear strengths and some important weaknesses.

From the feedback we gathered, here are the top insights:

Strengths:
– User-Friendly Interface: Spendbase clients consistently report that Virtuagym is easy for both staff and gym members to use, requiring minimal training for new users.
– Workout Builder & Exercise Library: The extensive and clear exercise library is a major plus. Many clients love the visuals and note that it’s particularly helpful for client engagement and fitness programming.
– Automation & Business Features: Automation of membership billing, scheduling, and point-of-sale processes saves significant time for both solo coaches and larger businesses.
– Customization & Branding: The app allows for branded experiences and customization, which is great for standing out in competitive markets.
– Communication Tools: Community notice boards and group messaging make it easier to keep members informed and motivated.
– Versatility: Clients use Virtuagym for a range of business models—from boutique studios to group fitness and personal training.

Weaknesses:
– Customer Support: Many Spendbase clients are disappointed with support quality and speed. Some report long resolution times, ticket closures without fixes, or unhelpful responses.
– Payment and Financial Tools: Integrations with popular payment services (like Stripe or Square) are preferred, as the in-built system is described as clunky or unreliable.
– Feature Gaps & Bugs: Requests for improvements are common, including better integration with wearables, recipe creation, more flexible scheduling options, and a smoother member credit system. Some clients faced major business disruptions due to bugs or updates.
– Steep Learning Curve: For those new to fitness software or with less tech-savvy staff, onboarding can be a bit overwhelming despite training resources.
– Not Suited for All Markets: Some features are built for gyms rather than niche training studios or martial arts schools, making it less compatible for certain types of businesses.

What Spendbase Clients Like Best:
– Simple setup processes
– Extensive customization of workouts and programs
– Automated billing, scheduling, and notifications

– Engaging community and communication tools

Where Clients Asked for Improvements:

In summary, our Spendbase clients find Virtuagym a solid option for managing fitness businesses—especially for those focused on automation and program customization—but warn that support and financial tool reliability can be major pain points. For those considering Virtuagym, a Spendbase discount can help balance out any frustrations experienced with support or setup time.
