Gyms don't fit traditional lending boxes.
Banks see high rent, seasonal cash flow, and equipment-heavy balance sheets. Our lender partners understand the fitness business and price for it.
New gym, no track record
Banks want 2–3 years of P&Ls. First-time owners often hit walls.
Seasonal or volatile cash flow
Gyms see dips in January post-holiday and summer peaks. Traditional lenders see red flags.
Asset-heavy, low margins
Equipment depreciates fast. Gyms run thin margins. Banks worry about collateral liquidation.
