Tax season shouldn’t feel like a marathon you never signed up for. If you run a gym, boutique studio, or growing fitness franchise, you’re already managing enough — membership surges in January, quieter summers, trainer payroll, and maybe even multi-state rules for online programs. Taxes? They just pile onto the chaos.

That’s where Straight Talk CPAs step in.

We handle tax preparation built specifically for gyms — clean filings, smart deductions, and strategies that help you hold on to more of what you earn. You focus on your clients, your community, and your classes. We’ll handle the numbers. Think of us as your financial spotter — we’ve got your back when things get heavy.

Tax Preparation for Gyms & Fitness Studios

Why Tax Preparation Actually Matters

Gyms don’t operate like standard businesses. Revenue swings, classes vary, and payroll can get messy when you’re balancing full-time staff with part-time trainers or contractors. Add retail sales and online memberships to the mix, and the complexity multiplies. Without a plan, tax season feels less like paperwork — and more like panic.

Here’s how we keep things under control:

Customized Tax Filings

We organize every income stream — memberships, personal training, online programs, and retail sales — to make sure it’s taxed right, every time.

Capture All the Write-Offs

From squat racks to scheduling software, if it helps you run your gym, it’s probably deductible. We’ll make sure nothing slips through.

Be Audit-Ready Without the Stress

Clean books, clear documentation, and proper categorization — you’ll be ready if the IRS ever calls, without breaking a sweat.
