Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is a fitness/gym merchant account with instant approval?

A fitness merchant account with instant approval is a specialized account that allows gyms and wellness centers to accept card payments quickly. These accounts are designed for fast onboarding, enabling same-day or near-instant approval, making them ideal for businesses that need to process payments for classes, memberships, and services without delay.

2. Which providers offer instant approval merchant accounts for gyms?

Trusted providers that offer instant or fast approval for fitness businesses include SoarPay, Adaptiv Payments, Easy Pay Direct, LMS, Quadrapay, and EMS. These companies are familiar with high-risk billing models and recurring payments, enabling them to approve gym accounts more quickly than traditional banks.

3. What documentation is typically required to get instant approval?

To get approved quickly, you typically need to submit a completed application form, a government-issued ID, proof of business (such as a lease or an active website), and business bank account details. If you’re switching providers, some may also request recent processing statements or photos of your gym facility.

4. Why is the fitness industry considered high-risk by merchant processors?

Fitness businesses are often labeled as high-risk due to recurring billing, chargebacks resulting from subscription cancellations, and prepayments for long-term services. These factors raise concerns for traditional processors, but specialized merchant providers understand these challenges and offer faster, more flexible approvals.

5. Can the same merchant account process both in-person and online payments?

Yes, many fitness merchant accounts support omnichannel payment solutions. This means you can accept in-person payments at the front desk or through POS systems, as well as handle online and mobile transactions via your website or fitness app, all from a single platform.
