The Financial GymReviews of financialgym.com

I have been struggling with money since my first job at 16, and having a "trainer" at The Financial Gym has helped me drastically improve my relationship with money and has made me feel empowered about my finances for the first time in a long time. (My focus has been paying down debt + building up short-term savings.) While it is another expense, I find it is worth the money if I have additional meetings with my trainer and occasionally use the NYC office as a co-working space. However, the online budget tool could have a better interface + more services.

I first went to a Financial Gym Budgeting Bootcamp 101 session and had the opportunitiy to speak with CEO Shannon McLay. I shared my goal to be in a better place financially, my interest in the gym’s services, and my hesitation at the monthly cost. She assured me of their money-back guarantee if I wasn’t in a better place than when I started. I’m so glad I joined! It hasn’t even been a full quarter since I joined, but I already feel more confident of my financial situation, the staff are fabulous, and I have the guidance of a great financial coach! Plus they have great learning sessions every week! I couldn’t recommend them more!

When I first attended an event at The Fin Gym, I was hooked. I heard Shannon's story and really appreciated her authenticity, humor and serious financial know-how. This was what I had been searching for. At first, I thought, there's no way I could afford a membership here... The place felt super modern, swanky and abundant, and that's not how I felt inside. But then I did the warm-up call and got in at a discounted rate on a top of a very reasonably priced membership. I have come to love everyone I meet at the Fin Gym. When I lost my job in January, I didn't need to panic. For the first time in my life, I had an emergency fund to help me get by until I found the right next job. This was huge for me as I grew up living paycheck to paycheck. I owe my attention to saving money to the Fin Gym. They have my wholehearted recommendation and then some! Much love.

I love the Financial Gym, it is so helpful to have someone I can talk to about my money problems and concerns. I was in such a bad place financially that I didn't think there was anything that the gym could even do to help. I also felt that there was no way I could afford to work with them due to how bad off my finances were. The Financial Gym has worked with me despite all of my problems and I will be forever grateful. All I can say is DO NOT WAIT ANY LONGER to get on track to being financially fit.

The Gym provides affordable, accessible, honest and down to earth financial planning to all. How lucky are we to live in a day and age where folks can get sound, no-nonsense guidance that helps to achieve their life goals?! The words "empowerment" and "money" never once went together in the same sentence until the Financial Gym was founded - now that's really saying something!

Money has always been an issue for me, but finally I feel like I have a grasp on it and I'm becoming more financially literate. I never thought I would be on track to meet my debt goals, but the financial gym is making that a reality for me and I am very grateful. My trainer is very knowledgeable and also very understanding. I can't believe the way my life has changed. Thank you!

What I love about the Financial Gym is that they look at your whole financial life. Trainers cover saving, investing, budgeting, and more. More importantly they focus on your goals, the WHY of what to do with your money. I feel confident and unstressed because I know I can depend on the Gym for help with my finances. I also love that Trainers at the Gym have clients best interest at heart. They WANT people to understand money, not just profit off people’s ignorance like some other financial “advisors”. I would recommend the Gym to anyone, no matter how much money they make or how much money they have. The Gym can help anyone reach their financial goals.

Love it! My trainer is personable, kind, and knowledgeable and helps me think of the big picture without getting completely overwhelmed! Thanks for all that you do!
