Running a gym is rewarding — you’re literally changing lives every day. But taxes? That part can feel like a whole different kind of workout. Between seasonal membership spikes, quieter summers, part-time trainers, and constant equipment upgrades, your numbers never seem to sit still.

That’s exactly where Straight Talk CPAs steps in.

We specialize in tax planning built for gym owners. We get that your world runs differently — and so should your tax strategy. Our mission is simple: help you pay less, stay compliant, and keep your energy where it matters most — your members, not your spreadsheets.

Tax Planning for Gyms & Fitness Studios

Why Tax Planning Isn’t One-Size-Fits-All

Gyms aren’t like typical businesses. January feels like a rush hour, midsummer, not so much. Classes fluctuate, expenses shift, and cash flow dances to its own beat. Generic tax advice just doesn’t cut it. You need a plan that flexes with your reality — not one that fights it.

Here’s where most gym owners find money hiding in plain sight:

Claim Every Deduction That Counts

From treadmills to training apps, if it helps run your gym, it could be deductible. We make sure you don’t leave a single eligible expense behind.

Choose the Structure That Fits You

Sole proprietor, LLC, or S-Corp — pick wrong, and you’re leaving thousands on the table. We’ll help you choose the setup that works today and scales as you grow.

Keep Cash Flow Steady

Revenue highs and lows are part of the game. Through smarter expense timing and quarterly planning, we help keep your bank balance from feeling like a rollercoaster.
