### 1/5 — WAC+

*2025-10-20*

This app is too complicated.  No more click, click and in.  Takes too long to check - in!  Even then you can’t be sure you are marked in.  Should have left well enough alone and save money that surely comes out of dues.  Don’t need any new increases either.

### 1/5 — New WAC app review

*2025-10-17, version 3.16.99*

*Account bar code not on home page. Can it be set in preferences? *Home page delayed by showing of images. *“Calendar” page should be omitted and  go directly to the page showing dates and listing of classes

### 1/5 — Worse than old app

*2025-10-14*

Much less user friendly compared to old app. Requires a lot of extra clicking to get around to classes. Cannot check in to classes without waiting for front desk to do it for you. Seems like a major downgrade overall.

### 1/5 — None

*2025-10-14, version 3.16.99*

Difficult to navigate.

### 1/5 — I miss the old app

*2025-10-13*

I haven’t been able to check into a class or the gym using the app since it switched over. Barcode won’t load. Unable to check into the class if it’s in the 10 min window, before the 10 min window I still couldn’t check into the class. Says “fetching location” and then nothing happens. I also loved the favorites page in the old app.

### 1/5 — Glitches

*2025-10-12*

I cannot check in to class. I am unable to cancel class. I’ve sought guidance from front desk and they were perplexed. New apps are often glitchy, but this changeover has been problematic and frustrating. I recommend not sending out emails if people aren’t checked in/cancelled. You may inflame frustrations.

### 1/5 — Negative on scheduling

*2025-10-10, version 3.16.99*

I don’t know how to see a Calendar by the week so I know if I have booked every day.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2025-10-10*

Why change a good thing? This app used to be user friendly now there are too many steps involved. If I’m too tired to come to class it was 2 clicks and I could unregister and go back to bed, now you have to wake up just to unregister because you have to look for the right family member. Whose stupid idea was this to change this app??? The font is too small for us old people as well. Even when you sort the classes, the font is too small!!  No one signs up for classes unless they are super popular because if they don’t show up we get penalized. We should not be penalized for the price we pay for this expensive membership!!! Needless to say I’m not happy with the app and it needs to be fixed by less clicks and bigger font. User friendly people!

### 1/5 — Not user friendly

*2025-10-10*

I am hoping there’s much more work happening on the backend because if the app is staying like this, it’s a major downgrade. The class times are tiny and hard to read. The way the classes are just in list form with no way to filter them is frustrating. It’s visually just way worse than the other app. It’s difficult to find what classes you are registered for. I am really surprised they didn’t just add the premium classes to the other app if this is how it was going to end up. It’s just a major downgrade from the previous app. Hoping many more changes are coming because this is not great.

### 1/5 — Terrible System - NOT USER FRIENDLY

*2025-10-09*

I go to water classes 6 times a week at 3 different locations. The new app does not allow me to identify my classes I usually attend & sign up easily. Thank goodness only one of my classes (on Saturday) fills up& I will need to register ahead for. Now I will no longer sign up for most of my classes. This new app is very cumbersome!

### 2/5 — Group fitness classes

*2025-10-09*

Not as easy to manage as old system

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Poor upgrade

*2026-07-16*

Old proprietary app was much better. The WAC is now using a subscription model app for “Gyms” which is very problematic, and many times does not function (errors out, “Department not loaded”, etc). Trying to “check in” or “Mark Attendance” as it is now called works about 50% of the time. I am guessing that is why every club now has a self-checkin kiosk. They didn’t need that with the old app.

### 1/5 — New system

*2025-12-07, version 4.0.4*

This new system is cumbersome!

### 1/5 — Worse than the old app, major downgrade

*2025-12-03*

1. Interface is clunky and difficult to navigate.
2. There doesn’t seem to be any way to view when or how many times I’ve visited, which is crucial information for me since my employer is paying for my membership and I get charged directly out of my paycheck if I don’t go at least 8 times every month.
3. App Store page claims this is compatible with Apple Wallet, but there doesn’t seem to be any way to actually add my barcode to the wallet.

Update: App has not materially improved since I left this review, but now I’m forced to use it because they got rid of the old one. Barcode takes forever to load every time I try to check in. Why does it have to load at all? It is static and doesn’t change. There is no reason it has to load every time.

### 1/5 — This is embarrassing

*2025-11-21*

I can’t believe that this is what the “new“ app looks like, I absolutely hate it!

I even find myself not wanting to go to classes because I hate dealing with how terrible this app is.

### 1/5 — Ummmm?

*2025-11-21, version 3.16.103*

Unsure as why they created this “new” app. Almost as worse as the first Wac App. The Wac+ is hard to navigate.

### 1/5 — Terrible Horrible ZERO stars

*2025-11-07, version 3.16.102*

Soooo annoying! Not user friendly.

### 1/5 — Slow

*2025-10-28, version 3.16.101*

Slowly badly and poor quality app

### 1/5 — I don’t like it

*2025-10-28*

Can’t tell which class I signed up for. Makes it difficult to manage as a user

### 1/5 — Not a Good App

*2025-10-24*

This app is MUCH less user friendly than the prior app.  For example, we used to be able to indicate our favorite classes and sign up without having to search.  Also, I can no longer sign in for classes and do not know why.  This is VERY basic functionality that should have been thoroughly tested, but does not appear to have been.  Communication and support for the roll out of the app has been terrible.  Perhaps they will be adding functionality as time moves forward, but how would we know?  NO communication!  
If I could rate this less than 1 star, I would.

### 5/5 — Gym

*2026-05-24, version 4.0.30*

Excellent gym!

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-04-20, version 4.0.25*

Amazing app

### 5/5 — Excellent staff, great facilities, and multiple locations

*2026-01-29*

The multiple locations make it easy to have my gym bag in the car when I’m traveling for work. The staff is always friendly and professional. The facilities are always clean and organized for use.

### 5/5 — Easy!

*2026-01-09*

I’m just starting at the WAC and this app actually works. Whoever created this, great job!

### 5/5 — WAC+

*2025-10-22, version 3.16.99*

Great job combining the two applications. Maybe you can go help Amazon fix their systems

### 5/5 — App

*2025-10-08*

The app is so small it’s hard to find it on the screen.   Can you make it larger??? Please

### 3/5 — Needs improvement

*2026-01-27*

I like the app, but it should be searchable by workout type. If I have 3-4 locations and want spin, or strength, or yoga, I should be able to search them all simultaneously. It's inconvenient having to swap location to location and I don't need one exclusive spot.

### 3/5 — Usage tracking

*2025-11-23*

It’s not tracking usage accurately. I’m still checking the old app for that.

### 2/5 — Hard to use

*2025-11-03*

App is hard to use. And there are two apps which makes it very confusing. I’m a tech savvy millennial and I can’t find any way to see the classes I’ve booked in one easy convenient spot. Hard to use. Needs improvement.

### 2/5 — New website

*2025-10-09*

Make it more user friendly and less convelooted.
