Built on the sales you already run

Most gyms and studios take payment by card: monthly dues, class packs, personal training sessions, smoothie bar sales. A merchant cash advance gives you a lump sum now in exchange for a portion of those future sales. Because it is based on sales activity, it can fit an owner whose numbers are strong at the front desk but whose credit or tax returns do not tell the full story.

How an advance works for a gym

  1. You apply in about 5 minutes and we start with a soft credit pull.
  2. We review about three months of business bank statements to see your sales pattern, including the January rush and the summer lull.
  3. Your offer shows the advance amount, the full repayment amount and how collection works before you accept.
  4. Funding can arrive in as little as 24 hours for qualified businesses.

No tax returns are required, FICO 500+ is considered, and sole proprietors, such as a trainer who owns a private studio, can apply.

Where fitness owners put the money

Is an advance the right tool?

An advance is fast and simple, but it is not the only option. If you want to draw only when costs come up, compare a business line of credit for fitness, and read line of credit vs. merchant cash advance for fitness. For a large equipment purchase, equipment financing for fitness may fit better.

Size it to your slow month

Membership revenue swings with the calendar. When you review your offer, look at the total repayment and ask whether collections still feel comfortable in July or August, not just in January. Amounts range from $25,000 to $5,000,000 and depend mainly on your deposits and existing obligations. When you are ready, start the application.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a merchant cash advance work for a membership gym?

Yes, if most of your revenue flows through card payments or recurring billing into your business account. We review about three months of deposits.

What about studios that bill members by ACH?

We look at what lands in your business bank account. Recurring ACH dues show up there just like card settlements do.

How much can my gym get?

Advances fall within our $25,000 to $5,000,000 range. The amount depends mainly on your deposits and existing obligations.

Will my credit score rule me out?

FICO 500+ is considered. We start with a soft pull, and steady sales carry real weight in the review.

How do I know what I will repay?

Your offer shows the full repayment amount before you accept. There are no surprise costs after you sign.

Can a personal trainer with a private studio apply?

Yes. Sole proprietors can apply as long as the business runs steady deposits through a business bank account.
