Built by a service-business operator.

FTG Payments is the merchant-services arm of Forget The Gym, the personal-training and coaching business founded by Dave Vaughan in Las Vegas.

Dave has spent over two decades running a service business that lives and dies on recurring client billing — training packages that expire, four-week cycles, memberships with cancellation windows, and cash flow that never looks the same two months in a row.

He got into payment processing after being on the receiving end of statements that made no sense, fees that appeared out of nowhere, and support lines that never connected to a real person. FTG Payments exists to help other service-business owners understand what they're actually paying for card processing and to match the setup to how the business actually operates.

FTG Payments works with a merchant-services provider to offer available processing solutions. FTG Payments is not a bank, card network, or acquiring institution, and may receive compensation when a merchant establishes a processing account through a partner provider.
