For the past 15 years I had used the same computer scheduling program on an antique computer. I have never had a problem with the program or the computer, but I knew that I had to investigate my options, so towards the end of year I started shopping around. I was very lucky that Appointments Plus was one of the first websites that I visited.
I signed up for a trial period at the end of 2009 and have been using Appointments Plus' scheduling program ever since. For about 2 months I ran my schedule on both programs to ensure that I was totally familiar with how the program worked, and making the switch was seamless. And after having limited access to my old scheduling program, it's been incredibly liberating to be able to access everyone's schedule from any location, even by using my smart phone.
The learning curve was not steep at all, as our entire personal training staff made the switch to the Appointments Plus program after just a few very brief training sessions. The web-based nature of the program allowed our staff members to practice using it at home and this has made it extremely easy for our staff to make the change after 15 years.
The Appointments Plus software confirms all of your appointments via email when they are booked and sends a reminder email the day before the appointment, as well. This is a great feature and my clients appreciate the reminders. The appointment entry field gives trainers the option to include a note to their client and other internal notes that only staff can access.
The convenience of use extends beyond a simple scheduling program, as Appointments Plus allows me to track clients' sessions for billing purposes and process payments via credit cards as well.
There are more features than I could possibly mention here so I highly recommend anyone who is interested in a new and improved scheduling program to check out the free trial.
