Gym business loans demand more than generic term sheets because lenders scrutinize recurring-revenue models, lease terms, and equipment depreciation schedules. Denton's fitness market stretches from University Drive near UNT campus micro-studios to larger 10,000-square-foot facilities along Loop 288, each with distinct cash-flow profiles. A yoga studio in Corinth leasing 2,500 square feet faces different underwriting than a powerlifting gym purchasing a standalone building in Krum. Falconridge Financial matches your revenue model, collateral mix, and growth timeline to lenders who understand membership churn, seasonal enrollment dips, and the residual value of Rogue racks or Precor cardio lines.
Loan programs
We also arrange working capital lines to smooth seasonal dips and invoice factoring for corporate-wellness contracts paid on net-60 terms.
cover up to $5 million for gym startups, owner-occupied real estate purchases, or franchise fees (Anytime Fitness, Orangetheory). Terms stretch to 25 years for real estate and 10 years for equipment, smoothing payments during the ramp-up phase when your Argyle location is still building a member base.
isolates treadmills, cable machines, free weights, and flooring into a separate loan secured by the gear itself, preserving working capital for marketing and payroll. Lenders advance 80-100 percent of invoice value with 3-7 year amortizations.
let gym owners in Sanger or Aubrey purchase their building outright, locking occupancy costs and building equity while membership dues cover the mortgage. Falconridge brokers these through banks that value the specialized HVAC, locker-room plumbing, and reinforced flooring that standard appraisals overlook.
We start every engagement by mapping your current lease (or purchase intent), equipment manifest, and 12-month cash-flow projection. If you're opening a new Pilates studio near Hickory Creek or adding a second location in Lake Dallas, we identify which lenders will credit your existing membership contracts as proof of concept. We prepare the business plan, collateral summary, and personal financial statement package that SBA underwriters require, then submit to multiple capital sources in parallel. Throughout underwriting we translate lender questions about your retention rate, average revenue per member, and Class-pass partnerships into the documentation that closes loans. You receive one point of contact and transparent progress updates, not a black-box portal.

A husband-and-wife team wanted to convert a 6,000-square-foot former dance studio on Scripture Street into a functional-fitness gym. They had $40,000 in savings, a signed three-year lease, and quotes totaling $110,000 for turf, rigs, bumper plates, and a check-in kiosk. Falconridge brokered an SBA 7(a) loan that covered equipment, three months of lease deposits, and initial marketing to UNT students and young families in Shady Shores. The 10-year term kept monthly debt service below $1,200, manageable once they hit 150 members. Within 18 months they were exploring a second site in Ponder.
