A loan of $14,500 helps a local gym (and 4x Kiva borrower!) expand the business and improve fitness among members.

Frank's story
I am a proud and passionate business owner who loves helping the members of his community get fitter to be the best version of themselves that they can be. I have been athletic my whole life. In my teens and into adulthood, I began coaching swimming, then snowboarding, and soccer. I found that sharing my passion for movement, fitness, and sport was very rewarding. In my late 20s and early 30s, I struggled to stay motivated in the gym until I found a gym that offered coach-led group workouts. Working out with others created both a supportive team and competitive vibe that pushed me harder than I would push on my own. The coaches kept us safe by making sure we were moving well and scaling properly. When I had to move away, I decided to create a new community. I learned as much as I could to be the best coach I could be. I invested my savings into opening the best gym I could. We have been open 12 years and have helped people of all athletic backgrounds and fitness levels get in amazing shape and lead active lives outside the gym.
