I had Kadri as my financial advisor and he was amazing! He was attentive, responsive, patient, and thorough with the details during all of our interactions. He was extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of the financial questions I had varying from ROTH IRA, 401k, savings, investments, spending, and budgeting. The Financial Gym is a wonderful investment that I took to reach my financial goals. They help you organize and dig into your finances and are a great accountability partner!

Kadri has been such a patient, calm and motivating financial trainer. Having someone I can regularly ask for guidance and questions regarding financial decisions the past year has been extremely valuable. The way that I've been able to change my relationship to my finances thanks to him is truly life changing!

I've been a member of The Financial Gym for 22 months now and my life is forever changed. I've written a bunch of reviews during my time, all glowing and transformational accounts of my experience, which is easy when you are *crushing* your financial goals. I am writing this review because for the first time, my 7th quarterly review, I had a different experience. I had made an impulsive, irresponsible vacation charge using my credit card (I know! No new charges for 3+ years and I blew it). If I'm being honest, I considered hiding it, secretly paying for it with efund money, canceling my quarterly appointment... I was ashamed. But my beautiful, encouraging, talented trainer Sara Belhouari always says "progress, not perfection" and she has ALWAYS been there for me to help me work through whatever. She did not deserve my doubt. So I kept my appointment. I couldn't look her in the eyes when I told her about what I'd done. Sara smiled the way she always does and giggled at me... "omg I thought you were going to tell me someone died!!" And then she got to work telling me that I am human and that it's only money, and helping me budget in how to accommodate my impulsive vacay. I write this review so you can see that having a trainer is more than the first meeting when you need to feel like someone else is taking the wheel, and it's more than the last meeting when you are doing amazing... having a trainer, and in my case, the BEST trainer, is about having someone push you gently forward instead of giving up when things get tough and reminding you that life is about progress, not perfection. I don't know what I'd do without you, Sara. ❤

It might sound a bit too good to be true but my experience has been transformational. I'm so grateful I decided to take on this challenge with The Financial Gym. My advisor Danielle Thomas has been incredible. She's help me build completely new habits, disperse of the ones that weren't helping me, and most importantly create concrete and achievable plans for my future!

I've always been responsible when it came to money, but in order to advance professionally I had to take on more debt and there were only so many expenses that I could cut to stay afloat. I felt stuck and defeated. It was difficult to figure out a reasonable budget, much less have saving. I couldn't teach myself what I didn't know and I had little exposure to role models that could show me how to build wealth or invest. I came across the Financial Gym and while I was hesitant to spend the money, it felt important to find someone who could help me not feel so alone in this journey. My first trainer Lauren was wonderful and encouraging. When she came up with my plan, it was like finding the missing piece of the puzzle that I couldn't see. I committed to my plan and in little time was able to save. When she advanced to another position, I started to work with Joy who has helped me continue my asset growth and held me accountable for my goals. She is warm and patient and I've taken great pleasure in sharing the personal and professional accomplishments I achieved because of more financial stability. I would highly recommend this to anyone-- in fact, I have referred several people. Their referral perks aren't half bad either!

I work with Danielle and she's been AMAZING. I didn't know what to expect with signing up for a financial coach, and the experience has been stellar; more than I could ever have dreamed. I mentioned I cried at our first meeting, and I did! She asked me what I would make my next goal once all my debt was paid down and I realized I'd never imagined a future where that was even a possibility. Not only is it a future I'm heading towards, it feels absolutely real and attainable.

Sara has been a Godsend. I had pretty terrible credit card debt when I started out with the financial gym and within a year I've paid off all my debts, started my side gig, bought a house and have fully funded accounts.. It really is all up here from here. Thank you so much Sara for helping me continue to achieve my goals while letting me know that I can still travel and treat myself but in a much more responsible way haha. YOU ROCK!

Joining the Financial Gym over 3 years ago was the best decision I ever made for myself. My only regret is not joining a year earlier when I first learned about the Financial Gym on the podcast, Martinis & Your Money. Prior to joining I experienced financial anxiety and had a scarcity mindset. With the help of my financial trainer, Joy, I have accomplished several goals and my perspective around money has completely changed. I have gained financial literacy, increased my net worth, paid off debt, and gained the flexibility to make big changes. Joy has always remained a beacon of support and guidance. I love the Financial Gym!
