The Business

Classroom-Style Bootcamp & CrossFit, Built on Guesswork.

United Fitness is a classroom-style bootcamp and CrossFit fitness studio with three locations and a team of six trainers. After eight years in business, the studios were thriving in the gym. The back office, though, was running on instinct.

In Their Own Words

The Turning Point.

01

Running on Instinct

For eight years the United Fitness founders poured their energy into the studio floor. The books were another story. There was no real monthly process, payroll aside, and cash flow was a weekly guess based on whatever was in the bank. The books were never truly closed, and recurring member revenue was never tracked back to the right location.

"We literally lived on looking at the bank balance every day, guessing at cash flow for the week."

02

The Breaking Point

QuickBooks had drifted into a mess of incorrect balances, with zero reporting and no visibility into cash flow. The founders wanted to grow but couldn't see where the bottlenecks were. The tipping point came when their tax accountant had to file an extension for 2025 because the books simply weren't ready.

"It was time to get someone on this who could handle it going forward."

03

Finding Luke

An Instagram ad positioning Luke as a specialist in the boutique gym and fitness space caught their eye. One quick 20-minute call was all it took. Luke got straight to work: the books were cleaned up, and a clear monthly rhythm took the place of the daily bank-balance scramble.

04

Every Dollar, Accounted For

Today United Fitness gets a monthly analysis report that shows exactly where the money is going, with every revenue stream visible at a glance. A Cost of Goods Sold analysis helps them negotiate better on swag and supplements, and an open line to their Luke team means questions get answered whenever they come up.

The Impact

Speed. Accuracy.
A Good Night's Sleep.

The win wasn't hours saved, since the books rarely got done before. It was speed and accuracy: reliable numbers, always current. With cash flow finally in focus, the founders can rein in overspending and, for the first time, see profitability location by location, adjusting specials and pricing to each community. Late fees on rent and other bills have been eliminated over the past four months.

"We have information at our fingertips now."

Their Recommendation

All Of Us Founders Need Luke In The Back Office.

Every founder believes they can handle the back office themselves. But owners already spend 40 hours a week on the studio floor, and the accounting comes out of family time. Elizabeth's advice for anyone doing it alone, or stuck with a bookkeeper who's hard to reach, is simple.

"Luke has made the process seamless, simple and, most importantly, affordable. The team is always available to us for any question."
