We help coaches and athletes build, fund, and launch profitable sports training facilities without burning out or relying on their personal savings. Whether you're just getting started with no program or ready to scale past $5 million, we give you the blueprint, funding, and systems to build a real business that lasts.
WE ARE IN
WE HAVE FUNDED
WE GUARANTEE FUNDING IN
You’re renting cages or training in crowded spaces while watching less qualified coaches open facilities of their own and you know deep down you could be doing it better.
You’re putting in endless hours running private lessons, but there’s no structure, no time freedom, and no clear path to build something bigger than yourself.
You know funding is the missing piece, but between credit fears, confusing options, and not knowing who to trust, you’ve stayed stuck on the sidelines.
You’ve thought about launching your own space, but the fear of going broke, taking on debt, or ruining your name if it fails has kept you playing it safe.
You’re not the only coach stuck in this spot.
We’ve helped other coaches get out of the same loop you’re in now and we can show you exactly how to move forward with clarity and confidence. The question is, will you take the first step by applying?
Community, step-by-step actionable courses and coaching all in one simple app with easy access.

We map out your location, budget, layout, and funding strategy with you so you know exactly what to do each week from Day 1 to launch. From the minute you join, you are given a structured roadmap to success.
We connect you with lenders already funding our coaches and help you build the business profile to qualify, even if you’ve been denied before. This is your fresh start!
Message our team or Ian directly anytime, join multiple weekly strategy calls, and get real-time support during permits, buildout, equipment sourcing, and more.

I’m Ian Inman, founder of Facility Founders. I spent over a decade in the U.S. Army, serving with Special Operations as a combat deployed Staff Sergeant. After being medically retired, I faced the same question many of you might be asking after your sport... What do I do now?
Instead of settling, I put everything I had behind my wife and I to launch our first facility. I was our certified master fitness trainer and she was the head softball coach. Fast-forward, these systems and processes have now evolved into building high-performance sports facilities across 10+ states, and we’re just getting started. My vision is to build a billion dollar portfolio of athlete first, coach led facilities and I’m looking for talented coaches like you to build these with.
I’m not looking for "perfect" coaches or people with "deep pockets" either. I’m looking for coaches who give a damn and still believe their reputation matters. Coaches who believe in hard work, who care about their athletes, and who have tried before and failed or keep showing up every single day despite the odds being stacked against them. If that’s you, then you’re exactly who I built this for. The facilities we build will make a positive impact in their communities, help their athletes, and provide the founders a sense of freedom and fulfillment.

"Definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to achieve their dreams of owning a facility"
Steven was originally turned down by over 15 lenders and was losing hope of building his dream facility. He was highly skeptical at first but within just 60 days we secured him $200k for his facility, helped him find a dream location, and were even there throughout the entire design and build process. Way to go Steven!! Proud of you man.

"I've only been in the program 45 days and have already found my facility and had a record month in revenue as well. This was the best decision I made with my business."
Maynor joined the program looking to move quickly. Within just 45 days he was already seeing record revenue months, found a facility that was HALF the price of the original one he was looking at, and he even ended up finding an investor in his local community to take his vision to the next level alongside him. Proud of what you have accomplished and how open minded to feedback you were. Great job!!

"Clear instructions on what it takes to build a facility, especially with building a brand, finding target audience and standing out in a competitive environment. I'd be lost doing this alone."
Jesse came to us looking to grow his micro facility and coaching program. Since joining, he has completely revamped his program to be way more targeted and specific to who he serves. He has an investor lined up and even was awarded with our $50,000 giveaway for his hard work. He is now taking on the facilities in his local area he once coached in. Proud of you Jesse!! Keep up the hard work!

No, some of our coaches started with limited capital and credit scores as low as 605. We walk you through real funding strategies that fit your current situation and goals without putting you at unnecessary risk. There are over 22 different methods of funding for you to choose from depending on your unique needs. Additionally, we have a funding team that has already funded over $502 million so trust us when we say, come as you are. We will help you find the best option for your situation.
Absolutely, a large percentage of our clients are first time business owners. They typically have a day job and coach on the side but dream of being a full time coach. We give you the systems, guidance, and support to operate like a pro, even if you’re starting from scratch. This company was built for people with no experience to people doing over $5m in revenue so there's no one getting left behind or feeling like we can't help you.
It depends on your funding, location, and buildout plan but most of our coaches move from plan to launch in about 90 days. Some faster. Some slower. We work at the pace that’s right for you. The typical progression plan is to secure funding in the first 60 days and then spend the next 30-60 days securing a location, sourcing equipment, and the most fun part which is actually building your space out.
Most of our clients launch their facility while still working or coaching. We don't want to cut your income while we are building this out and understand you still have bills to pay. Our systems are built to keep you moving forward without overwhelming your schedule or wallet.
No, we’ve built facilities in over 20 sports from softball, baseball, and football to wrestling, cheer, basketball, MMA, and even esports. If you coach and train athletes then this can work for you. The biggest thing for us is to make sure you are looking to build in the United States. We currently only operate in the USA and are focused on high school, college, and pro level sports and fitness coaches. Here is a list of common sports but this is not the full list. If you have questions please apply and we can discuss it: Baseball, Softball, Basketball, Volleyball, Pickleball, Football, Soccer, Lacrosse, Wrestling, Martial Arts, Boxing, MMA, Cheerleading, Dance, Gymnastics, Track & Field, Speed & Agility, Strength & Conditioning, Functional Fitness, Sport-Specific Training, Golf, E-Sports, Cycling / Indoor Endurance, Shooting Sports, Ice Hockey, Swimming, Tennis, and Rugby.
We don’t just talk about business theory or provide experience we learned from other industry's. We help you fund and build a real brick-and-mortar facility with real systems, support, and results that banks and lenders are actually willing to back. This won't be some online business with no tangible assets or advice for something that worked in the past. We have done and continue to do this ourselves every single day. It's one thing to have a business coach but it's another to have a mentor who is still active in the industry learning things every week and sharing them live so you can fast track your success.
We have a promise and a standard within our company that we will never do anything illegal, immoral, or unethical. That means telling you the truth, even if it hurts that you aren't ready or that you might need to rethink your plan but don't worry because we will still show you the best path to get there! Whether you start with our level 1 program or just get our free resources, we’ll help you move forward without false promises or leading you on. That's why our application is so important. So we know where you actually are right now and where you want to be.
The application exists to protect you, our clients, and the integrity of what we’re building. We’re not here to sell you something you don’t need or throw you into a program you’re not ready for. If you’re a fit, we’ll move forward. If not, we’ll still point you in the right direction with real tools to help you get there. We care about our reputation and community and will not become one of those "money grab" programs. This is about getting real results for our coaches and making a real impact in the lives of their athletes.
We protect this program, our clients, and your future by making sure you have real answers before you ever step in or get involved with us. Let's make sure this is actually what you are looking for.
