Case Study: Barry’s achieves faster onboarding, seamless transfers, and scalable HR operations with Rippling

How a scalable HR solution empowers a dynamic workforce at Barry’s

Barry’s, the high‑intensity fitness brand operating 50+ US locations and expanding rapidly, faced a fragmented HR tech stack that made onboarding, transfers, scheduling, payroll, and compliance cumbersome across multiple EINs. To support a mobile, hourly workforce and ambitious growth (8+ new studios in 2025), Barry’s selected Rippling to centralize HR, payroll, recruiting, time & attendance, scheduling, benefits administration, and related tools.

Rippling replaced disparate systems with one unified platform—connected ATS and onboarding flows, entity-aware employee records (no terminate-and-rehire), automated offboarding workflows, and Time & Attendance kiosks—giving managers real‑time visibility and employees a single mobile app for clock‑ins and time off. The change cut new‑hire setup from ~15 minutes to 3–5 minutes, reduced transfer processing from 10–15 minutes to about 3 minutes, improved retention reporting accuracy, and streamlined compliance and scheduling across studios. Rippling’s solution has saved the People & Culture team significant time and positioned Barry’s to scale.
