The Financial GymReviews of financialgym.com

I started working with the Financial Gym soon after graduating. Over the past few years my situation has changed drastically including two cross country moves, a big new job, a pandemic, a marriage, and now venturing into freelance work. Victoria has been there every step of the way - always open, always thoughtful, never judgmental, and rolled with all the punches! I feel more confident having the Financial Gym in my back pocket.

I've been a FinGym client since May of 2019. I cannot say enough amazing things about this organization. They have truly changed my life and brought me peace of mind in an area of my life that I've struggled with for so long. I came to them with $15k in credit card debt, a rent I couldn't afford, and no budget whatsoever. I've been working with Joy since day 1 who has been the most amazing resource to me. She's empathetic, incredibly knowledgeable and insightful, and easy to talk to. I struggle in life to accomplish things if it's not mindless. FinGym makes the process effortless and mindless. I was honest with Joy about my struggles, my goals, and my needs. My need to be successful in a lot of things is someone to hand me a plan and say "do this exactly." That's what they do! They help you determine the best way to allocate and stretch your income to pay off your debt, and still save towards your life goals, and help you find a place to store your money where it even earns REAL interest (not that crappy less-than-zero % most banks pay). They also implement other tricks such as credit card hacking - utilizing 0% balance transfer offers to reduce your interest rates and payments, for example - to help be even more successful. I paid off all my credit card debt within a year, and managed to go from no emergency fund to a safety net of over $20k in cash with literally no effort whatsoever. Every time I have an unexpected expense or an unplanned bump in income, I can email Joy and she'll get back to me super quick with a "this is how I would recommend you handle this." I've even had the opportunity to meet and spend time with Shannon, the founder and CEO, and cannot say enough amazing things about her. She's one of the loveliest people I've had the opportunity to spend time with, and it's no surprise that her personality and attitude propagate throughout her entire organizational structure. Thanks to Joy's plan and FinGym, I've paid off my credit card debt, kept it from recurring, been able to travel without having anxiety about how to pay for it, had an emergency fund to dip into for those unexpected expenses, and been able to create savings buckets for other expenses such as known annual bills (car insurance, taxes, etc), car repairs and parts, medical expense, and more. TL;DR: FinGym is amazing and worth the nominal monthly fee to have access to amazingly talented and insightful people who are brilliant with money at any time with any question whatsoever. I cannot say enough about how much better my life is knowing that my money and spending habits are working FOR me and not AGAINST me for once and not living in constant anxiety that I might run out of money or be caught unprepared for an emergency expense.

I'm writing from the perspective of a corporate employer that hired Financial Gym to conduct a one-hour seminar for our employees. I love working with the Financial Gym team. They have a lot of competitors, but Financial Gym is the most affordable and high-quality option I came across. They offered a variety of topics, were highly responsive, and provided gave an engaging presentation with ease. I highly recommend hiring them for your next financial education event!

Sydney was an amazing financial planner. Her knowledge of the industry, methods of getting spending under control, and general ideas of how to organize one's financial life were extremely thorough and her advice was always solid. Sydney had an incredible bedside manner when it came to finances and she worked hard to present me with a plan that met my needs.

I found the Financial Gym back in early 2019 via Instagram and continued to see ads for a couple months. It was a time where I had an incredible amount of financial strain due to the high amount of consumer debt I had. I was hesitant to sign up with the Financial Gym but really didn't know where to go or how to start in terms of getting my finances under control. I felt consumed and lost. I knew there had to be a reason I kept seeing the ads so I decided to give it a shot. Initially, my trainer was Lindsey who was friendly, understanding, and knowledgable. I didn't feel judged for my situation and she consistently assured me I would get out of debt/decrease it significantly if I took the plan seriously. I went through many losses during the past 2 years, then Covid hit and my business took a pretty hard hit. Lindsey assisted me through all of my many life changes and adjusted my plan as my circumstances changed. She ended up leaving the gym last Spring/Summer and Grace took over and became my trainer. I was hesitant to have a new trainer take over and felt like I would have to start all over but the transition was very smooth and Grace has been nothing but kind and understanding. She assisted me with obtaining the proper grants/loans for my business and helped me get further out of debt. I am proud to say I significantly decreased my debt around 85% and now feel I have all the tools I need to further pay off my debt and succeed with my financial journey. The reason I am leaving the gym is due to losing my father a month ago and my life circumstances have now changed. I also feel I have gained a lot of knowledge and all the tools I need through the Financial Gym to continue my financial path on my own for the time being. I hope to re-join the gym in the next year or 2 and work on investing for my retirement future. I appreciate everything the gym has done for me financially and most importantly, my mental health.

I didn't grow up talking about money or how to organize it. So when I graduated and started my own business, I was pretty much clueless. My first time doing my taxes was a complete mess. Enter... THE FINANCIAL GYM! I have been working with them for a few years now and it has been so helpful. I meet regularly with my coach Grace and she is amazing. She keeps me organized and pushing towards my goals with her calming and encouraging spirit. I recommend the gym to all my friends!

I've been working with the FinGym for about 2 years, ever since my then-boyfriend, now husband, introduced me to it. It's honestly the first thing I've done that felt easy when it comes to finances. The monthly checkins keep me on top of things and the quartly check-ins keep me feeling like I'm progressing when it comes to my money. We are doing much better financially as a couple and family of 3 as a direct result of our coaching via the Financial Gym. I tell all my friends in relationships to sign up because of the easy at which you can have financial conversations with your partner when there is a finsncial coach involved. We also really love our coach Sara :)

I absolutely love working with Brianna! I like to think I had it *mostly* all together financially before joining The Financial Gym, but Bri takes things a step further and has helped me create a plan to save up and invest for my future graduate school,(increasing) housing expenses, and health care costs. She also makes herself available whenever possible, so I can schedule a meeting to discuss finance-related questions I have outside of our regular meetings (which I love). I have never been more confident about my finances before until I started working with her earlier this year. I highly recommend working with Bri if you have the chance to because she KNOWS her stuff.
