Running a gym—or a studio, or even a local sports program—already feels like three jobs in one. You’re juggling members, keeping trainers happy, shuffling schedules around when someone calls in sick, and somehow still trying to keep the energy high on the floor. And then the numbers hit you—fees coming in, payroll going out, taxes lurking in the background, equipment bills popping up at the worst time. It stacks up fast.

That’s where we step in.



At Straight Talk CPAs, we handle the financial side so you can stay focused on coaching, training, and keeping your clients moving.

FAQs

  • Can I deduct equipment, facility upgrades, or training supplies?

    Absolutely. From mats and treadmills to major renovations, a lot qualifies. We’ll help you separate what’s deductible and what’s not—so more revenue stays in your business.

  • How do I pay trainers and part-time staff correctly?

    It depends on whether they’re employees or contractors. Misclassify them, and the IRS will be on your back. We’ll set it up cleanly from the start.


  • My gym’s busy in summer but quiet in winter. How do I keep cash flow steady?

    Seasonal swings are normal—we’ll help build systems so rent, payroll, and bills don’t become a headache when things slow down.


  • Do I need to collect sales tax on classes or merchandise?

     It depends on your state. Gear and supplements? Usually taxable. Classes and memberships? Rules vary. We’ll make sure you’re compliant without paying extra.

  • I’m planning to expand—what should I do first?

    Before you sign that lease or hire new coaches, we’ll forecast your numbers and help structure things so growth is smart, not stressful.
