As promised in this post, here's my interview with fitness equipment leasing expert Joe Schmitz from F.I.T. Leasing. During the interview Joe provides answers to many of the questions you might have if you're planning a new Indoor Cycling studio, or are considering an upgrade to any of the new Indoor Cycles with power; FreeMotion S11.9, Keiser M3i, Schwinn AC Performance or Star Trac Spinner® Blade Ion.
It was interesting to me that, depending on your financial situation & credit history, I might be possible to include some of the other component parts of your business (AV system, furniture, specialty technology, etc...) into your equipment lease.
Joe has provided some additional information that you can use for business planning and/or preparing to qualify for a lease.
