Jacqueline is my hero! (Pictured above!) She is always logical, clear about moving forward, pragmatic, and never hesitant to be real with me regarding my finances. In ONE month, I was more prepared for the current pandemic than I had been, and had it not been for me joining in February, I would be in a very sticky spot right now. Jacqueline is a fantastic cheerleader, and genuinely excited about helping you achieve your goals. I love that she can provide personal insight on all aspects of my financial portfolio, and be completely authentic. Before I started working with her, I had applied for loans and other solutions, but she has been my saving grace. I'm now *excited* to save money, and racing to fill my emergency fund because HELLO LOOK AROUND, it's something so crucial to have. Jacqueline is kick @$$ at her role in the Financial Gym, and someone I hope to have as my BFF for years to come.

Mike P has been a saving grace. Ever patient, never judging, always a welcome face. I've lost many things in the past few months -- a relationship, a home, a job -- but the one thing Mike has helped me not lose sight of is my self-worth. Because of the consistent work we're doing, I no longer wince when I open my bank app to see my balances. I know what they are. I know what I'm worth. I can see where I'm going. Because Mike is a lighthouse. :-)

So glad to be a member of The Financial Gym and fortunate to be paired with the best trainer ever, Nick O'Neil! As a member of Fin Gym for the past 6 months, I have had comprehensive planning assistance and support on goals that've taken a couple of pivots. The support, positivity, and resources Nick has provided was fundamental in planning for a major apartment move, vacations, and presently an emergency fund. I've felt understood and encouraged rather than pressured to make grand lifestyle changes, as it alway a pleasure to work with him. Also, I definitely have taken advantage of attending a few of the many educational events The Financial Gym hosts. There is so much care and passion I witness amongst the staff during/before/and after these talks that, as corny as it may sound, there is a feeling of extended family and togetherness that keeps me wanting to learn and come back. So much more than formulaic advisory, the gym has always been the most perfect metaphor, all are welcomed no matter where you begin and they will help keep you on track. Love you guys!

My wife and I are recently married and had interest in a 3rd party to help organize our finances. A colleague recommended me and my wife to The Financial Gym. Our Trainer, Kadri Augustin, listened to our story and asked something we hadn't considered: are we financially married, independent, or a mix of both? Kadri guided us to realize it's ok to be legally married while not combining EVERY last penny. The financial plan has immediate, short, and long term goals that visibly lead from one into the other. He never pushed us to commit to something we weren't comfortable with, or pause our individual and married lives together. It's helped us have a conversation we'd been putting off for months! He is very personable and allows us to speak freely, while also keeping the relationship professional. We're looking forward to take the next steps in our financial relationship with Kadri!

The Financial Gym has been life-changing for me and my fiancé over the past year and a half!! Our trainer Jessica has been vital to our success in joining finances, working on personal and joint goals and acting as the perfect outside voice to help us navigate priorities. She has been there with us through tears and laughter and we are forever grateful! I believe The Financial Gym is the future of the financial service industry. People of all income levels need financial advice and so often lower and middle-income individuals are turned away from financial planning firms for not having enough assets. These are the people that need the most help! The Financial Gym fills that gap. I look forward to being a client for many years to come.

My trainer, Jessica in California, is absolutely amazing. She helped me build up my savings to make it so I have 6 months stored away, helped me figure out where to invest taxable and non-taxable amounts, and even helped dig into specific habits that needed to change for me to reach my goals (not easy to change behaviors, but she convinced me and showed me it is possible!) I feel so strong and mentally focused on committing to financial FREEDOM and owe it ALL to Jessica. This service is the best there is out there to get your finances in order, and I cannot recommend Jessica more highly. Thank you for all that you did to change my financial wellness. This was the best gift I could have ever received. Very grateful for the Financial Gym!! Can't wait to be a client for many years to come.

I have been working on my finances for years (literally, years) and it wasn't until I started working with my Financial Trainer, Jessica Balcer, that I finally felt like I had a handle on things. I'm not perfect and my financial bad habits haven't disappeared overnight - but the confidence, security, and compassion I feel when working with Jessica makes sure that I keep taking two (or three, or four) steps forward even when I have a slip up take a couple steps back. I actually look forward to my quarterly check ins, because not only do I NOT feel judged for any slip ups or deviations from the plan, but I know that talking to Jessica helps get my mind right and gets me back on track to try again. No matter what, she always helps me keep moving forward and refocusing on my goals and the actionable steps I can take to get me there, without making my hurdles seem overwhelming. I could not recommend Financial Gym more, or working with Jessica as a trainer.

Before I started working with my BFF Xiomara, I was intimidated by my finances and purposely avoided facing them and taking ownership. Xiomara's sincere compassion and patience helped me to slowly and steadily start making changes. Her ability to connect, to understand my underlying fears and barriers that had prevented me from taking control of my financial wellbeing was essential to helping me. Now, after only 4 months working with her, I am no longer scared or intimidated by my finances. In fact, I feel more empowered than ever. Not only has she gently and kindly guided me through something that I've been resisting my whole adult life, knowing that I have her support when needed has given me the confidence to continue pursuing my financial wellness.
