How PayPerFit Came To Be
"A company that handles all of this busy work for the instructor so they can do what they do best."
"I was working really hard between performing well at my day job as a senior procurement analyst, going to school, and providing fitness classes during my off hours. I was providing fitness services to businesses and clients outside of being an employed instructor of a Gym. I began creating invoices and keeping track of payments and expenses. All this stuff came so easy to me because of all the billing I was exposed to in my day job then I realized, what about my fellow fitness friends that don’t have these skills and don’t want to devote the time to learn these skills. So I came up with this idea of a company that handles all of this busy work for the instructor so they can do what they do best. I brought this up to my esteemed colleague Pete one day as I was trying to work out the structure of a company like this and we ended up talking for hours. Hours turned to days, days turned to weeks, then eventually we decided to partner up and take this bull by the horns. Between his brains and my crazy ideas we were bound to make a beautiful fitness billing love-child."
