Fitness Gym Owner Workout

The simplest way for gym owners to hire, employ and stay compliant.

Our platform converts your independent contractors to employees and handles the administrative burdens of being an employer so you don't have to.

Club & Studio Owners

For Club & Studio Owners

When you offload the burdens of being an employer, you can focus on crushing your business.

Avoid getting hit with fines.

Compliance is essential. Easily switch 1099 individuals to W-2.

Employment laws are complex. 15 states and counting are cracking down on 1099s. If you're classifying your fitness professionals as independent contractors (as opposed to employees), you'll be hit with potential legal and financial consequences, such as unpaid wages and benefits, fines, penalties, and in extreme cases, being shut down.

​

With Band of Hands, it's simple. We switch 1099 contract workers to W-2 employees, so you're fully protected.
