Wave + Personal Trainers & Gyms: Faster Bank Import
Personal trainers and gym owners handle membership payments, class fees, equipment purchases, and venue hire — often through multiple payment apps. If you use Wave for your accounting, you need a fast way to get bank statement data into the system.
BankScan AI for Personal Trainers & Gyms Using Wave
BankScan AI converts any bank statement PDF to CSV formatted for direct import into Wave. Convert your bank statements to structured spreadsheets to track membership income, match equipment purchases, and prepare your books for your accountant.
The Personal Trainers & Gyms + Wave Workflow
Personal trainers and gym owners collect payments via direct debit for memberships, receive individual session payments through apps like PayPal or bank transfer, pay for equipment and venue hire, and track CPD course costs. Bank statements are reconciled against membership management software or booking systems to verify all client payments have been received.
Key terms you'll encounter: session rate, block booking, membership direct debit, PT package.
