The Problem

Fitness breaks generic bookkeeping.

A fitness business’s books fail differently. Membership billing that churns daily. Franchise royalties and platform fees skimmed before revenue ever lands. Instructor payroll that flexes with the schedule while rent never does. One studio thriving while another quietly drains it.

Generic bookkeeping deposits the payouts. To run a fitness business you need membership revenue reconciled to the platform, labor cost per class hour, per-location truth, and a cash plan that survives January’s surge and June’s slump.

  • — Platform payouts booked as revenue — fees & churn buried
  • — Franchise royalties & fees untracked against the P&L
  • — Instructor labor cost per class unknown
  • — No per-studio P&L
  • — Seasonal cash swings unplanned

FAQ

Straight answers.

Do you work with franchise locations?

Yes. We track royalties, brand fees, and franchisor reporting requirements — and keep per-location books that satisfy both you and the franchisor.

Can you see labor cost per class?

Yes. Instructor and staff cost measured against the schedule and the revenue it produces — so you know which classes, times, and formats actually earn.

We have multiple studios. Can you report by location?

Yes. Per-studio P&Ls are standard — so you know which locations earn, which bleed, and what a blended statement was hiding.

What does it cost?

Value-based and transparent — built from a published service catalog, not hourly billing. Build your own estimate in about two minutes. No contact info required.

When does a fitness business need a controller or CFO?

A controller, once locations or volume make the close and cost reporting too complex for a bookkeeper. A CFO, for buildouts, leases, franchise economics, and an eventual sale.
