GE Capital today announced it is providing a $45 million credit facility to YouFit, LLC., a chain of fitness clubs. The facility will be used to support the company’s future growth plans and for general working capital needs.

YouFit is headquartered in Deerfield Beach, FL, and has more than 75 locations in 13 states. YouFit provides customers with budget-friendly, month-to-month membership options. They are also committed to sustainability, outfitting gyms with energy-efficient choices and recycled materials.
