Case Study: Quad City Barbell achieves faster payments and streamlined recurring billing with PaySimple

Strength Training Facility Employs PaySimple as Core Part of Financial Plan

Quad City Barbell is a small, private strength-training facility in Bettendorf, Iowa, founded by owner Grant McCaulley to serve clients focused primarily on fat loss and health promotion with a smaller athletic-performance cohort. As a lean startup with Grant handling programming and management, setting up reliable recurring billing and simple, accessible financial systems was a core challenge.

PaySimple provided a cloud-based recurring billing solution and centralized client data access, letting Grant collect payments from 50–70% of his clients and receive payments faster than by check. The predictable cash flow has become a central part of his financial plan and supports his growth plans to expand locations and hire additional trainers.
