Blue Bridge Equipment Finance announced a partnership with the National Independent Health Club Association (NIHCA), a non-profit organization of fitness facilities with more than 700 member owners representing over 3,000 health and fitness facilities. Through this partnership, Blue Bridge will be the preferred financing provider for NIHCA members who are purchasing operational and fitness equipment for their clubs.

“Changes in the fitness industry never cease to amaze us,” said Holly Johnson, Executive Director of NIHCA. “We realize that many health facilities need a trusted partner to help finance their plans to upgrade fitness and office equipment, a remodel, or even a new location build-out. We hope our members take advantage of the experienced team at Blue Bridge to help make their improvements possible.”

NIHCA members fill out a simple one-page online application, credit decisions are typically made within four hours and same day funding is available. With no down payments requirements and eligibility to finance additional costs like sales tax and delivery, health and fitness facilities can preserve working capital for the operational needs of their business. Mark Kugel, Blue Bridge Director of Specialty Finance said, “I look forward to working with NIHCA members to provide flexible financing solutions for their growth, equipment upgrades and operational improvements. Oftentimes health clubs have a difficult time obtaining funding through traditional banks and lenders, so we strive to make the process as simple as possible and cover a wide range of eligible purchases.”
