The Financial Gym Reviews 

Wise, compassionate, accessible guidance <3

At first I was hesitant to join Financial Gym because I felt good about how I manage my finances, but ultimately I decided it would be nice to have a third party take a look and ensure that I'm on the right path. That confidence alone was worth it because Catriona took a look at all of my spending, cards, accounts, goals and offered a recommendation that I was able to work off of. I didn't have a high yield savings account before -- only a general savings account. Now I "put every dollar to work" and feel way more flexible to spend in certain categories (such as travel).

I should probably write a more substantive review, but honestly, all I can think of is... JOY IS AMAZING and she has brought down my financial stress levels down from 100 to 5. No joke. Joy and The Financial Gym help create magic. (And I put some work in, too.) I feel super supported and encouraged, never judged. I will continue to use TFG as long as I have... well, money. And maybe especially so if I don't.

We love FinGym and have been working with them for 3+ years. Our trainers have transformed our financial health as a family. Juan, our current trainer, is so fun to work with and constantly gives us valuable information so we make informed decisions.

Financial Gym has really helped me organize my finances. When I started at FG, I was a finance novice and someone who was even afraid to look at my bank account. Kadri Augustin, my trainer, has been incredibly helpful. He's definitely helped me boost my financial confidence and my financial literacy. I'm super grateful and lucky to have had him as my trainer and I would 100000% recommend him to anyone else. Now, in about a year: I have emergency savings funds, my credit score jumped from 690 to 748, I opened a credit card, bought a car, moved into the NJ apartment of my dreams and I still have money in my vacation fund, and spending for fun stuff. I've also started saving for a down payment on a home. FG has been great and anyone who needs help getting organized will definitely benefit. Kadri, you've been so great and incredibly SWEET and knowledgeable. Thank you for everything! :)

My husband and I have been working with the Financial Gym, and specifically with Sara Willi as our trainer for 10 quarters. It has been a wonderful experience! We came to the Gym in hopes of finding a way to balance paying down our existing debt, live well in the moment, and save for the future (which felt like an impossible task). We wanted support from an expert but previously had only had negative experiences with local resources who were mostly wealth advisors trying to invest our money. They were not interested in looking at our financial situation and questions holistically, let alone provide practical day to day support. The Financial Gym offered the help we were looking for! After doing our initial research, we felt like Sara would be the best fit as our trainer and we couldn't have been more right! Our work with Sara has transformed our lives in more ways than we could have expected. She has helped us work through what spending with intention feels like for us and to develop and meet our long term, mid term, and short term goals, which are always evolving. We've been through the pandemic, job fluctuations, household changes, and early child-rearing with her and she's helped support us, give us confidence, learn to communicate better about financial goals, and motivate us through it all. My husband and I generally have the same approach to spending and saving but we feel stress differently about it's management. Having our quarterly talks with Sara has helped us communicate better and take the mental load off of each of us and prevent unnecessary anxiety/conflict. It's been great for our relationship and family! We have met and exceeded many of our financial goals. We even paid off our dual student loans, that two years ago we thought would have been an impossible task. I cannot recommend the Financial Gym and Sara enough!

After being encouraged to join the Financial Gym at the advice of my sister who benefitted meaningfully from the program, I signed up on a whim, with an open mind. Since joining, the work Genar has guided me through has been nothing short of life-changing. Genar's knowledge and his capacity to communicate this knowledge in creative, impactful, and inspiring ways has completely transformed my understanding of financial wellness, as well as my own role in feeling empowered to create the future I desire, manifesting opportunities, and diligently organizing my expenses and goals. I'm grateful to be working with Genar and look forward to more growth with his support, understanding, and expertise.

My husband and I came to a place in our 16-year marriage and then ran 2 independent small businesses over the past few years where we didn't know where we were going. We were simply just keeping up with the hustle of business and life-raising 2 tweens in NYC. We were stressed about money constantly, weren't saving at all, and had a hard time talking about it, and didn't realize we had some limited thinking around it. It came to a head when we realized we weren't getting younger in our late 40s and needed to get real about the numbers and what we wanted for our boys and our future, as we looked at retirement goals for the FIRST time. We needed help. However, we didn't have enough money to work with a financial advisor like most of our friends, and we were embarrassed to talk about our finances with anyone. Then one day a friend randomly mentioned The Finance Gym. I did a little research, read many reviews, and decided we would give them a try. On our discovery call, they heard our needs and narrowed down my coach options to 2 people. I'm so glad we went with Kadri. Aside from having a calm and cool relatable demeanor, Kadri was real with us but guided us with empathy from the start. He shared a lot about his diverse professional background which showed us he was a good fit. Kadri showed us possibilities that we never even thought of. But more importantly, he helped shift our mindset around money and how to talk about it. For the first time in our 16-year marriage, we talked about money differently. We stopped hiding and started facing our truth and got real with mapping out our short and long-term goals. Kadri helped us set up systems that will help us be more proactive about saving and communicating with each other and setting us up for success. Before working with Kadri, we were kind of just wingin' it month to month and getting by. After just 4 months we are already spending less, saving more, and on the path to earning more. We are thankful for the effective and affordable options The Financial Gym provides. No matter what your age or where you are starting from on your finance journey, more people should invest in this coaching. It can be life-changing! I would highly recommend working with Kadri. In fact, I have already mentioned Kadri and TFG to several friends!

Garrett was very instrumental in helping me to reduce my debts and begin a savings process. I am truly thankful for his help!

Sara was a gamechanger for me. Budgeting had always been a struggle and so I started working with Sara over the pandemic. She helped me reset and get our from under debt, build an emergency savings, and start planning for my future. She was very responsive, so kind, and never judgmental. I'm grateful to her and the Financial Gym team for all their help!

Great experience with Garrett! My husband and I had separate finances for years but Garrett really helped with bringing everything together and helping us reach our financial goals. As others have said, very non-judgmental which was comforting for me since I have some shame around some financial decisions that I’ve made. Garrett worked with us but also pushed us. Very good for our relationship and our finances! I wish I’d done something like this before. Highly recommend

About two years in and I still think joining the gym was one of the best decisions I've ever made. My trainer helps keep me accountable; there is never any judgment, just support. Recommending this service, especially to those struggling financially.

I can't begin to recommend The Financial Gym enough- it will change your life for the better! I knew so little about managing my money previously and have learned so much within the past nine months. Genar has been such an incredible B.F.F. and I am so thankful I've had the honor to work with him the past several months. Beyond helping me be extremely successful in my financial journey, Genar has been an incredibly supportive friend. He goes above and beyond for his clients and truly works from the heart. Money can be a touchy topic, but he makes his clients feel seen and comfortable by providing a trusting and safe space. As I have gone through several transitions recently, he has provided invaluable support. I am forever thankful for The Financial Gym for connecting me with a lifelong friend and equipping me with knowledge that will allow me to be successful toward my goals in life. It is an honor to be able to work with your business and amazing trainers like Genar!

Garrett has been truly helpful these couple months!! Even though I had life changes in goals, he provided the most current resources to enhance my financial education beyond basic student debt. He thoroughly reviewed a very detailed plan and framed everything to match those goals while giving extensive info of what I can also do in the future. Also the most important part - he's on time for the call reviews and hasn't rescheduled. He's very dedicated and a positive spirit to work with, definitely will look him up in the future!

JUAAAAANNNNNN 🔥👍🏻 is the bombbbb!
Love working with Juan he keeps me accountable and we have seen gradual progress every check in we have. I am very pleased and I don’t know what I would do without him and the help of TFG. This is very worth the money especially for someone like me that’s not very good with managing my finances. Very much recommend!!!

Juan has been so incredibly helpful these past few months, I've been able to get on track and really set a foundation for where I'm trying to go. His positive attitude and attention to detail make him an awesome person to work with and has helped me build better habits. Thank you!!

I have had the pleasure of working with two coaches and had a consistently amazing experience. I have learned so much about finances and smart money decisions all thanks to Sara Willi and the rest of the financial gym team! Highly highly recommend!!

Before FinGym I felt overwhelmed when making decisions about money, budgeting, etc. Erika's kindness, patience, knowledge, and encouragement has made such an impact on my financial literacy. We worked together for a year and I truly feel equipped to make empowered and smarter money decisions without the guilt or shame. She's a gem!

My Financial Trainer, Juan Valeriano, is absolutely amazing! Working with The Financial Gym has helped me really tackle the difficult financial truths I've been ignoring - both financially and psychologically. How I think about spending, savings, and credit cards has shifted drastically while working with Juan.

I love that I can connect with Juan as two real people dealing with the realities of money. I like having someone to hold me accountable and give a little "tough love" when I need it, but at the same time, someone who listens to MY goals and priorities and helps me make room for those in my financial plan.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this place because I've never done anything like this, but I've been so pleasantly surprised. Thanks for everything, Juan!

I am so grateful for the services of The Financial Gym but most importantly for my trainer, Juan. He is so helpful, kind, and supportive among many other things and I can't imagine being on this money journey without him. He has helped me release a lot of shame around money and has provided me with invaluable financial guidance. So grateful to be working with Juan and The Financial Gym!
