Fitness & Gyms Business Loan FAQs

Can I get a loan to open a new gym?
Yes. We can help finance the costs of opening a gym including fitout, equipment, signage, and initial marketing. Lenders will assess your industry experience, business plan, location lease, and financial position before approval.
What gym equipment can be financed?
All commercial gym equipment qualifies including treadmills, bikes, rowers, weight machines, free weights, functional rigs, group fitness equipment, flooring, and technology systems. New and quality used equipment can be financed.
How do lenders view fitness businesses?
Lenders assess membership numbers, recurring revenue from direct debits, location quality, lease terms, equipment value, and your experience. Established gyms with stable membership bases and strong direct debit income are viewed favourably.
Can I finance a gym franchise?
Yes. Gym franchise finance covers the franchise fee, fitout, equipment, and working capital. Well-known franchise brands often have established lending programs that can streamline the approval process.
What if my gym is seasonal?
Many gyms experience seasonal membership fluctuations. Lenders can structure repayments to account for this, with higher payments during peak membership periods and lower payments during quieter months.
