Members notice the floor first

A prospective member walks in, looks around, and decides within minutes whether your gym feels worth the dues. Worn cardio machines, a single crowded squat rack or a spin room with half the bikes out of order all send the wrong message. Equipment financing lets you upgrade the floor and pay for it over time as the gear helps you sign and keep members.

What gyms and studios finance

Repairing gear you already own is a different need; see fitness equipment repair funding. Outfitting a new space is covered on fitness expansion funding.

Our process

Apply

The application takes about 5 minutes and starts with a soft credit pull. Include a quote from your equipment supplier if you have one.

Review

We look at about three months of business bank statements. No tax returns are required, FICO 500+ is considered, and sole proprietors can apply.

Offer

Funding ranges from $25,000 to $5,000,000, depending mainly on your deposits, existing obligations and the equipment. Your offer lists the full repayment amount and schedule before you accept.

Will the gear pay its way?

Before you finance a full row of new machines, ask a few blunt questions. Will this help you add members, keep the ones you have, or sell a new class format? Can you sell or trade in older equipment? Would a smaller first phase make more sense? If your need is broader than equipment, compare working capital for fitness or a business line of credit for fitness.

Time the upgrade

Many owners refresh the floor ahead of the January rush so the new gear is in place when sign-ups peak. Build in delivery and installation time with your supplier, and plan where members will train while older machines are removed and the new floor goes in. When your quote is ready, apply here.
