Eugene gym operators juggle high upfront equipment costs, multi-month tenant improvements in older commercial spaces along West 11th and River Road, and membership revenue that dips every summer when University of Oregon students leave town. Traditional banks often balk at funding businesses with membership churn or limited real-estate collateral, leaving owners to choose between maxing out personal credit cards or delaying expansion. Brokers compare programs side by side, isolating the option that aligns payment timing with your cash cycle and doesn't penalize you for seasonal dips.
Loan programs
covers treadmills, racks, rowers, and resistance machines, using the gear itself as collateral so you preserve cash for payroll and marketing. SBA 7(a) loans fund larger projects like purchasing the building your studio occupies or refinancing expensive startup debt into a single, longer-term note.
We start with your P&L, membership trends, and lease terms, then shop your scenario across multiple lenders to surface the program with the lowest all-in cost and the most forgiving covenants. Because we're a broker, not a lender, our job is to weigh every trade-off openly: a shorter term saves interest but raises monthly payments; a longer amortization eases cash flow but increases total cost. We also coordinate timing so funds arrive before your contractor starts the build-out or the equipment supplier ships your order.
Example: A 3,200-square-foot CrossFit gym near the Glenwood neighborhood needed $85,000 for rubber flooring, rigs, and HVAC upgrades in a 1980s warehouse space. We brokered an equipment-financing package and a small working-capital line, staggering draw schedules to match the contractor's milestone payments and preserving the owner's $20,000 reserve for grand-opening marketing.
