The Financial Gym Reviews 

We are so happy with Joy at Financial Gym. I thought I had our finances under control and one day they weren’t. Joy has been able to refocus me and we are now on the road to success. She listened to our needs, is very encouraging and knowledgeable. She puts your mind at ease which helps to stay focused. I love having the 1-3 year plan and 3-5 year plan in place, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel.

I’ve been using Financial Gym for about three years now, and I can’t recommend it enough. Before I started, I was in about $20K of credit card debt with barely any savings. I didn’t have anyone I could turn to for advice on managing my money, financial habits, or the best strategies to improve my situation. That all changed when I started working with Kylie, my coach.

Kylie helped me get organized and develop a solid plan, complete with goals and milestones that I could work towards. Thanks to her guidance, I was able to clear my credit card debt, establish an emergency fund, and even start building a savings account for growth. In just three years, I’ve gone from merely surviving to truly growing.

Kylie has been an absolute pleasure to work with—she’s not just a coach but a partner in my financial journey. She celebrated every “win” with me, making it feel like I wasn’t alone on this path. Her approach is both professional and kind, and I couldn’t have asked for a better guide.

If you’re looking for a supportive and effective way to get your finances on track, I highly recommend Financial Gym—and especially Kylie. The whole experience has been amazing!

My trainer went above and beyond! She helped me find a system for budgeting which I was able to understand and stick to. Thank you!

When I say I learned nothing about finance as a kid, I mean it. My parents didn't have retirement savings (or any savings for that matter) figured out, and I'd argue they still don't. Their idea of an emergency fund was picking up another shift at the restaurant or hiding cash in random pockets of the apartment. I am so grateful for Kadri's patience, guidance, and kindness. I joined Financial Gym as a means to get a better sense of how to budget and now I feel way more empowered to know my money. Sure, I could save the fee I pay them every month, but I never would have done so before hand... Now I know how to save, when to cut myself some slack (i.e. don't save if you're going to go into CC debt). I'm glad I found Kadri and am really excited for next steps with their financial planning services--I am confident his team will make my pennies grow faster than anyone else.

I have a much better relationship with money now than I had before. I always had that feeling of never having enough and spending scarcely then overspending. Now I have started saving for my future goals and I’ve been able to afford things I never thought possible. I feel so much more in control of my finances now. Thank you financial gym!

I've worked with Kylie for years and The Financial Gym has helped me have control over my finances and figure out how to allocate my money to achieve my financial goals. Highly recommend!

Garrett was an awesome financial coach! He helped me clean everything up, prioritize, and gave me tips for improving my credit score. Plus another family member has been working with him for a long time and is very happy with him- a DOUBLE 5 star review! That makes 10 stars! Yay! Thank you Garrett!

My experience with The Financial Gym has been positive and productive. It's been an excellent investment in my financial well-being. I've always had financial anxiety, and the FG has helped me get myself going on the right path and relieve the overwhelming burden that comes with doing it all on my own. My Coach, Gina, is stellar; I always feel like I'm in a judgment-free zone!

Gina has proven to be an exceptional financial advisor, offering comprehensive guidance that extends beyond mere number-crunching. Her approach is holistic, addressing the crucial intersection of life decisions and financial planning. Gina has provided invaluable support in various areas, including evaluating apartment changes, establishing appropriate emergency savings, navigating job transitions, and improving spending habits. Through her well-rounded approach, Gina has empowered me to feel more confident and in control of my financial situation. Working with Gina has not only improved my financial health but also given me peace of mind about my long-term financial future..

I've had the pleasure of working with Catriona and Kadri at the Financial Gym. Both Catriona and Kadri have been terrific at communication, answering questions, and taking their time so everything doesn't feel rushed.
Catriona has set up a plan for me and my wife and has done a fantastic job in assisting to create a simplified way of managing our finances. She has been quick to answer my questions. I've never felt more confident in my finances thanks to her help.

I recently worked with Kadri to move over my retirement fund, and he was extremely patient and helpful in making this process painless. There was a time crunch and Kadri put extra effort into meeting with me to get the process complete. I can't recommend the Financial Gym enough!

I found the Financial Gym by listening to the "Martinis and your Money" podcast that Gym owner, Shannon McLay, hosted. I wanted to talk to someone who could tell me if I was financially on-track, doing things correctly, wanted suggestions for improvement, etc. I set-up my warm-up call and then requested to meet with Sara Belhouari. I've been working with Sarah for about a year, and she's been excellent to work with. It's always an open and judgment free zone which makes it comfortable when talking about money. Sara's given me the tools to make changes and now it's up to me to utilize them if I want financial freedom in my future!

I've been a financial gym member for many years now, and wanted to share my experience. I came to them post-divorce, experiencing a very different financial situation and needing help. My trainer Sara B. is the absolute best. Knowledgable, funny, and gives great advice to get you on the right track. She helped me work out a budget that allowed me to meet my immediate needs and plan for the future for both me and my daughter.

I think I saw them use the slogan "Financial BFF" somewhere, and it's appropriate branding. It can be hard to figure all this financial stuff out on your own, and no one likes talking about money specifics with their friends/family. If you want to get a firm grasp of your situation, and work to get on the best footing possible, don't hesitate to reach out to them for assistance.

The coaches here are very helpful, and working with them is always a pleasure! The regularity and duration of the calls really help me stay accountable and recognize my progress instead of focusing on what I don't like about my finances.

Sara is the best financial trainer. Over the course of a year and a half, she has helped me save for and navigate an emergency savings, a lavish Italian vacation, a surprise layoff, an 8-month stretch of unemployment, a new job, paying off credit card debt, tricky medical bills, and two other trips on the horizon. She is such a positive energy and so supportive with all my financial goals. She helps me see the bigger picture when it comes to my finances and eases any anxiety that might arise about how I'm going to reach my goals. I really appreciate Sara's practical, informative, and caring approach, as I've learned so much. I am someone who grew up in a household devoid of any financial literacy, so joining The Financial Gym has been one of the best decisions I've made in my adult life. I feel much more empowered to plan for the things I want, enjoy the resources I have, and handle any unexpected curveballs.

My finances used to be a daunting mess. Budgeting? More like blind guessing. But then I met Garrett at The Financial Gym, and let me tell you, he's a game-changer!

Over the past two years, Garrett has completely transformed my perspective on money. We tackled everything from creating a realistic budget to dissecting my debts and assets. He broke down complex financial concepts with incredible clarity, making it easy to understand my financial situation.

But Garrett's impact goes beyond just knowledge. He's a true strategist. He helped me develop a roadmap to financial freedom, one that considers both my present needs and future aspirations. Now, I can confidently anticipate expenses, plan for retirement, and even make smart investments.

What truly sets Garrett apart is his dedication. He's incredibly responsive, always available for questions, and never hesitates to extend calls to ensure I have everything covered. More importantly, he's become a trusted friend who genuinely cares about my financial well-being.

I wouldn't be where I am today without The Financial Gym and Garrett's exceptional guidance. They showed me that even if you "think you have it down," there's always room for improvement. Garrett is the difference between feeling lost and empowered. Thank you for everything!

Ex big wig finance industry folks who want everyday people to win. They are very transparent and not guiding you to make their investments grow rather want to make financial services accessible to the masses. I've been with them for years through all the ups and downs and can't recommend them enough.

This was my second time around using the financial gym and I'm sure I will return again. My wife and I needed some help with our budget and organizing some financial goals. Jill was detailed, kind, and created a atmosphere that allowed us to be transparent about our finances. We were able with her help to finally getting the ball rolling. We enjoyed our time working with Jill and the great services provided by the financial gym.

Very helpful advice by smart professionals who have found a modern/efficient way to help manage budgets, investments, and 'good' debt.

My partner and I have loved working with the Gym and especially our financial trainer! Ijal has been so caring and thoughtful every time we've chatted with her. Talking about finances are not always super comfortable, especially as a couple, but Ijal has made it so easy to open up about our concerns, our struggles and goals in a no-judgment zone. She's been a wonderful support system and because of our plan structure my partner and I are feeling so excited for our future. Plus we feel like we are working toward smart and realistic goals. I recommend the financial gym to all my friends and find them to be an amazing resource!

Sam Cash was my advisor and I couldn't have asked for a better person throughout my financial journey in the last year. She was very supportive, non-judgmental, and was always more than willing to meet with me when needed. I had some financial obstacles that were hindering my confidence and everyday life situations. Sam helped guide me on making the necessary steps in order to get to a better place financially, which also helped confidence. I can't thank her enough for this positive experience. I highly recommend Sam!
