Running a gym isn’t just about helping members crush their goals — it’s also about keeping memberships consistent, paying your team on time, and making sure the IRS doesn’t surprise you mid-year. And honestly? Payroll, taxes, and cash flow can feel like the toughest workout in the building.

That’s where Straight Talk CPAs come in.

We help gym owners untangle the numbers, shrink their tax stress, and build financial systems that actually support growth — not hold it back. Whether you run a boutique studio or a multi-location fitness brand, we get the business side of fitness.

CPA Services for Gyms & Fitness Studios

Why Gym Owners Need a CPA

Owning a gym comes with challenges that don’t always show up on the balance sheet:

Membership Ups And Downs

January feels like a gold rush, but summer often slows revenue.

Overhead Without Pause

Rent, insurance, utilities — they don’t care if your classes are full or not.

Payroll Puzzles

Trainers, part-timers, and staff schedules rarely line up—but payroll still has to.

Expansion Decisions

Opening a second location or adding classes sounds great—until you crunch the numbers.
