Nexus Fitness: Getting payroll in shape

Chris Wade believes that the hour you spend at the gym should be the best hour of your day. When he opened Nexus Fitness, an 8,000-square foot CrossFit and X4 fitness center, he knew he needed to keep his employees happy so they would pass that positivity onto the members. Unfortunately, working with an unreliable payroll provider threatened to ruin the good vibes.

ADP has made things so much easier. I can do payroll now in 10 minutes. I just open the app and all the pay totals are preset. I just have to hit “go” and everyone gets paid the right amount on the right day. It’s helps out a lot with the employee-owner relationship. It’s just so much simpler. If you want to work on your business more … ADP is absolutely worth it. The software is seamless and user-friendly. It lets you focus on what’s important.
