Running a gym feels amazing when your members crush their goals. But behind the energy and motivation, there’s often another workout happening — juggling cash flow dips, payroll stress, and unpredictable memberships. Add new classes or a second location into the mix, and suddenly the pressure doubles. The truth is, you don’t need a full-time CFO to keep your numbers in shape.

To help you smooth out the financial chaos, protect your margins, and plan your next phase of growth — so you can focus on what you do best: helping clients move, train, and thrive. Think of us as your gym’s financial coach.

We guide, challenge, and keep you accountable — with insights and strategies that actually move the needle.

Thinking about adding a location, more classes, or even an online coaching platform? We’ll break down the numbers so you can expand with confidence instead of guesswork.

Maximize Profits

Some classes are packed; others barely break even. We identify where your profit actually comes from and help you scale what works.
