Our borrower, an Army veteran, purchased his first Gold’s Gym a few years ago and recently set his sights on expansion. Gyms are a fantastic roll-up opportunity—once you’ve built the right team, they typically require far less day-to-day oversight than many other businesses.

He identified another strong-performing, cash-flowing Gold’s Gym not far from his original location in the Northeast—an ideal fit. We structured a $1.695 million SBA loan to acquire the second location, effectively doubling his cash flow overnight.

By acquiring an existing, profitable gym, he avoided the typical stress and growing pains of building from the ground up. A smart move by a smart operator—and another step toward building his fitness empire.
