Michigan has a 4.25% flat income tax. Flat 4.25% income tax. Detroit and Grand Rapids are primary markets. Auto industry decline created transition economy. Low cost of living outside metro areas.
When evaluating software costs, factor in your effective tax rate. A $636/year software expense is partially deductible — but Nexa at $279 once is a one-time deduction that eliminates the recurring expense entirely.
Whether you call it invoicing, a solution for jobs, or a invoicing system — most hiit instructors in Ann Arbor string together Acuity Scheduling, Vagaro, Square, Calendly along with other platforms. That's $636/year in monthly software fees. In half a decade at today's prices, that stack costs $3,180.
Switching to Nexa lets you break free from monthly fees. Your CRM, invoicing, booking, jobs, time tracking, and financial tools — wrapped into one solution. A single action books a client. A single action generates an invoice. No copying between apps. No third-party glue. No sync fees. It's a lifetime license — save money starting today. For hiit instructors in Ann Arbor weighing the switch, the 30-day money-back guarantee covers the migration window — you can run Nexa in parallel with your existing subscriptions, verify the workflow handles your real client load, and only cancel the monthly tools once you are confident the data and processes have settled in.
My first class is 6 a.m. and the studio's still cold, so I'm setting the interval clock, dragging out plyo boxes, and chalking the station rotation on the board before anyone walks in. Twelve people, six stations, 40 seconds on and 20 off — I'm calling the changeovers, correcting a sloppy box jump, and pushing the one person who's coasting while telling the newcomer to drop the weight. The class is a blur of slam balls and burpees and me watching the clock so we finish the rounds on time, because there's a 7 a.m. waiting outside the door. I barely get the floor wiped and the dumbbells re-racked before round two. Late morning I'm building tomorrow's workout, picking the work-to-rest ratios and which exercises pair without a logjam at the rack. I check who booked the noon express class and notice two regulars haven't reserved a spot all week. Afternoon is a private interval session for a client training for an event, then I'm reconciling who used a class off their pack versus who's still on a free trial. Evening classes are my fullest — the after-work crowd packs every station, and the waitlist is real, so a single no-show stings the person who got bumped. I close the studio, set the clock for the morning, and remember I still haven't followed up with the trial members who came once and vanished.
That is the work Nexa is built around: the job, the client, the hours and the invoice live in one place, so the paperwork side of the day doesn't need a second shift.
Every one of those was bought once and earns its keep for years. Nexa is priced the same way: $279 once, and it keeps working whether business is busy or slow.

We build a hiit instructor's guide the same way every time, and we'd rather you trust it than take it on faith. Nexa is our product, so the test we hold ourselves to is simple: a tool only "wins" a job here when it genuinely does that job better for a hiit instructor — and where something free, open-source, or buy-once does it better, we say so and link you to it. Where Nexa falls short (payroll is the honest example), we name the alternative outright.
Found something out of date? Prices change and we don't catch every move the day it happens. This guide is published and maintained by the Nexa team; if a figure here is wrong, tell us and we'll fix it — getting it right matters more to us than the sale.
