Positive Changes & Financial Understanding
Gina is incredible! I've been working with her for about a year now and I could have never imagined the changes that have taken place in my finances. My credit score has grown well over 150 points, I've built up an emergency fund, and while balancing paying off debts. She's genuinely taught me so much!
Finally feeling supported, organized and confident
In the four months I have been with Financial Gym, I feel like I have made significant progress. Like many others, I was afraid of facing the reality of my finances for years. I was luckily matched with Ijal, who has been so comforting and supportive along the way. Her calm and understanding demeanor helped me feel comfortable when discussing my personal background and current financial situation. I never feel judged or discouraged. Very happy to have her in my corner to support me in my journey!

Erika M was SO helpful in setting up a budget and household financial plan. She is incredibly knowledgeable. Worth every penny.
Transformed my money habits from debt to on track for a healthy financial future
I've used Financial Gym for a couple of years now and this has completely transformed my money habits. I worked with a financial coach in the past, which helped explore my relationship with money. However, it wasn't until Financial Gym that I started believing in my ability to save and meet my financial goals -- and see progress towards them. Most recently, I've worked with Kylie and she's amazing. I also love the resources and practical tips they provide. Can't recommend enough.

This one goes out to Sara B and WOW- I am LONG overdue in writing this review.
I have been a client of The Financial Gym with Sara B as my trainer since October 2019 when I took the leap to get support.
Like many others, when I started with TFG, I had student loan debt, an older car that had no payments but required maintenance equal to a payment and I was mostly lacking the knowledge of where to go overall with my financial health.
In my 4.5+ years as a client; I have achieved more than I could have EVER imagined.
Sara B has single-handedly supported my personal growth in learning how to not only understand wealth but to also create wealth and use it in a way that is meaningful to me.
I've moved countless times, including life in 3 different states in a short amount of time. I've paid off credit card debts from doggy medical bills, paid down student loads massively, saved to buy a "new to me" car that was a stellar deal, built my credit score to stay near/above 800+ and so much more.
Most recently - I accomplished my wildest and biggest goal of purchasing a home that's a duplex which allows me to house hack - again, still supporting all of my goals and also reducing my overall cost of living.
SO - all this to say; if you are on the fence about working with The Financial Gym - simply put, don't be! They are a safe space, a sanctuary and the greatest blessing of all time. You will absolutely not regret it.
Having once been the 23 year old who was wrongly sold life insurance to access a "budget" from a financial planner who had no actual interest in supporting me - PLEASE, utilize The Financial Gym. They are going to support you so much better than anyone else.
I am genuinely in happy tears writing this review because WOW - TFG and Sara B have had my back in the most incredible and meaningful way. I cannot wait to invest further with their new investments side of their business and literally cannot imagine life without this service!
And to the Founder/CEO, Shannon; thank you for building such an incredible business that people truly need. You are incredible, the team you have is incredible and TFG in all its forms is INCREDIBLE. I mention TFG nearly every day of my life to someone new. Cheers!
Exceptional Financial Guidance
I had have the pleasure of working with the Financial Gym for over 7 years and I can confidently say that it has been one of the best decision I’ve ever made. experience.
From the outset, my trainer, Joy, demonstrated a profound understanding of my financial aspirations and concerns. She took the time to listen attentively to my objectives, carefully analyzing my current financial situation to tailor a personalized strategy that aligned perfectly with my needs.
What truly sets the Financial Gym apart is their unwavering dedication to client satisfaction. Throughout our interactions, they displayed the utmost professionalism, patience, and transparency.
One aspect that particularly impressed me is they didn’t just focus on short-term gains; instead, they outlined a holistic approach that accounted for my long-term financial well-being. Whether it was retirement planning, investment strategies, or risk management, they offered valuable insights and practical advice every step of the way.
Thanks to Joy’s guidance, I now feel more empowered and confident about my financial future. Her recommendations have not only helped me achieve my immediate financial goals but have also laid a solid foundation for long-term financial success.
I am genuinely grateful for their assistance and look forward to continuing our partnership in the years to come.
This experience has been fantastic!
Money is always a tough topic, but with our trainer Sam behind us, my husband and I are learning, growing, and changing (in the best ways possible). I look forward to our check-ins and review sessions, when talking about money in the past has made me nauseous. Sam is an amazing resource and a wonderful guide.
I absolutely LOVE working with them and…
I absolutely LOVE working with them and have been with The Financial Gym for 2 years now. They truly have changed my life and made finances not feel so terrifying!! Highly recommend :)
HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Tina has been such a pleasure to work with. It’s been 2.5 years Financial Gym for me, and Tina’s help through multiple life changes has put me in such a great spot financially. Highly recommend being a Financial Gym member.
Realistic, tailored budgeting & Resourceful!!
As someone who had never budgeted before and needed help strategizing what to do with my money, The Financial Gym was so great to work with. My trainer Sam Cash did such an awesome job working with me and my budget (and my inexperience)! My budget was realistic and unique just for me, and I was never made to feel bad even if I went a little off track. I also greatly enjoyed all the helpful resources Sam would send me after our check-ins or big quarterly meetings! My net worth is higher than when I originally signed up and I'm excited to keep working with TFG and Sam as I get better at managing my personal finances. 😁
I love financial gym so far!
I am 29 and feel like I do pretty well at work but was always surprised by my monthly credit card bill and just needed some accountability and help structuring my finances. It was always something I was embarrassed to ask for help with and felt like I have figured it out a long time ago. My coworker worked with Financial Gym and mentioned she really liked it, so that was a push that I needed. I've been working with them for three months now, it's been going great! It's so exciting to see my savings growing with each paycheck, I'm no longer afraid to look at my credit card bill because it's never much of a surprise. I like that I'm getting an expert's guidance. Overall, I'm just feeling much more optimistic about my money and future!
The BEST decision I have made
I've considered signing up for the Financial Gym for years, and towards the end of 2023, I decided to take the plunge. That is the BEST decision I have made. Jill Wagner, my financial advisor, is very supportive and helps me reach my goals by sending me weekly reports, having monthly calls, and being available when I need help making big financial decisions.
Gina and FinGym are the best ever
Gina and FinGym are the best ever! Having someone to help guide us and bounce ideas off of is invaluable. I can tell Gina really cares and wants what is best for us. Highly recommend!
FG is amazing but Joy is the real superstar. I felt understood while she helped me rise above and beyond my financial goals
I started with the Financial Gym about 5 years ago and it was one of the best financial decisions I've ever made. I have immigrant parents who are not good with money so were not able to teach me the financial literacy or wealth-building skills I needed, and I ended up in a position where I was making good money but had over $230K in unnecessary student loan debt as well as over $10K in credit card debt. Joy was fantastic in not just helping me get my strategy together to accomplish my financial goals, but more importantly, was understanding and empathetic to my personal motivations and desires - even if they didn't always prioritize the most efficient use of my money. Now, I'm finally in the double digits of my student loans, built up a nest egg of savings, have no consumer debt, and feel financially confident. I've always felt truly supported, and never like Joy/FG were just trying to sell me on products. I've referred friends and family to FG and I will continue to do so. Thank you Joy and thank you FG!

I signed up for FinGym for year and learnt quite a lot from the experience, even managed to start and maintain an emergency savings account that came in very handy when I lost my job.
I also had a good experience working with Garrett who was my financial coach/trainer.
Set up for future success without compromising the present!
The FinGym is an excellent resource at any stage of your financial journey. I have been working with them for several years through a layoff, city relocations, and am now working towards my future goals. Can't recommend this service enough. My new trainer Sarah is a star!
Stellar Experience for Several Years
I worked with Gina at the Financial Gym over the last 3-4 years, and it was a stellar experience. She helped me create a clearer, workable budget for myself, get smart about savings goals, and overall, increased my net worth by about 200%.
Overall, I would highly recommend them if you are looking to build financial literacy in an environment where they aren't looking to take a percentage of your money.
Great experience for years
I've been using The Financial Gym for several years and highly recommend. They've made such a big impact on my financial health. This is not something that I knew much about at baseline but I've learned a ton, and have been able to invest and redirect my money so much more effectively and increase it's worth. They've been able to meet me where I am at and help me move forward in really significant ways. In my case the result really speaks for itself and proves the value of working with The Financial Gym.
Sara is the absolute best
Sara is the absolute best. I appreciate how she addresses the emotional component of financial wellness and the roots of how we feel about money. She’s incredibly motivating and never judgmental. I am in a better financial place and mindset because of her. I can’t recommend FG enough.
