Busy But Broke: Why Cheer Gyms Are Struggling

Tuesday Jan 20, 2026
Cheer gym owners are some of the hardest-working business owners out there, yet many are running packed practices, full seasons, and nonstop schedules while still feeling broke at the end of the month.
In this episode of the Cheer Biz Podcast, Dan Cotton breaks down why so many cheer gyms look successful on the outside but struggle financially behind the scenes. We talk about the financial mistakes that quietly drain profit, including incorrect pricing, not paying yourself as the owner, messy books, relying on the wrong CPA, and allowing past-due accounts to pile up.
Dan also explains why being “busy” is not the same as being profitable, how cheer gym owners accidentally turn themselves into the most underpaid employee in the business, and why hoping to “sell the gym someday” isn’t a real exit strategy if the gym still depends on you for everything.
If you want a cheer gym that’s profitable, sustainable, and capable of growth without burnout, this episode will help you see exactly what needs to change.
