The Financial Gym Reviews 

Gina was amazing super kind and super knowledgeable !! Looking forward to working with her in the future!

As a 34 yr old educator living in NYC, I wanted to have the ability to not have fear or anxiety surrounding my finances and gain confidence in terms of learning how to better manage my assets and set realistic goals for myself. That is exactly what the financial gym provided me with. I had my first session with Ijal Thompson in December 2023 and Ms. Thompson was not only able to provide me with a realistic finance plan that would help me manage my income which included high yield savings, retirement and many other things. But she also spoke to me about short and long term goals and how I could potentially achieve them in the near future. It was such a well thought out session which I truly enjoyed. Ms. Thompson was efficient and had a great level of understanding and professionalism that made me feel comfortable with speaking to her about my income which I know can be a sore spot for many. I cannot recommend the financial gym enough! If you’re thinking about it, do it! You won’t regret it. Ask for Ijal Thompson!

When I started, I felt so much shame and anxiety about finances that I couldn’t even look at my bank accounts. My coach, Sara, has helped me build skills through education and nonjudgmental accountability. After a year with TFG, I’ve paid down thousands of dollars of credit card debt while also building my first emergency savings fund. I even lost my job last year, and while it was stressful, I successfully adjusted my budget and weathered the storm. I feel so much more excited about my future, now that I feel on top of my finances.

I’ve been with FinGym for quite a while now, and I can say it’s helped me to get on track with my financial goals. I work with Erika, and she’s super encouraging and always willing to schedule check-ins to help me workshop something in either dealing with finances or planning for. I’ve suggested this service to my friend, who loves it too. I am happy I started. I would surely recommend you do too if you're interested!

We’ve worked with Kylie at the Financial Gym since for over 4 years now and I’m so thankful we signed up back in 2020. Since then, we’ve reached our emergency savings goals, started a nice investment account, and we’re hitting our retirement goals. During that same time we were able to buy a car, a house, do a small renovation, and go on many vacations. Kylie and the Financial Gym provided the perfect balance of accountability and motivation to help us reach our constantly growing financial goals.

Gina has been there every step of the way in my financial journey. Every big decision I've made since i joined the gym I've consulted her and come up with a plan, which has given me more confidence in all aspects of my life.

Sara Belhouari has helped me tremendously for many years with the financial gym. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to get their finances in order and in top shape! She has helped me personally with many strategies, suggestions, and a plan to responsibly budget and grow my finances. I’m still learning but it’s been a beautiful work in progress and I’m grateful for all I have learned and improved on!

Kadri has been consistent and fantastic for us. He is always prepared, calm, and positive. We are grateful to have an advocate like him, as we are not always savvy/privy when it comes to knowing what all our financial options are. Thank you Kadri!

I rave to all of my friends and family about working with Garret at The Financial Gym. He is a true fiduciary looking out for my best financial interests. I'm in a completely different and better place than I was just 5 months ago because of him. He is extremely knowledgeable, personable, and gives me just enough push to keep me on top of my goals while still being understanding when "life" comes up for me. Working with him is one of the best financial decisions I've ever made. I can't wait to see where I'll be in another year / 5 years/ 10 years of working with him:)

We really appreciated our Financial Trainer Garrett! He did a great job going through our budget and helping us to make goals. Unfortunately, it was just too expensive for us and we have a really tight budget to start with.

There were member only meetings that would have been great to attend but unfortunately, they were during our working hours. I am sure it is really hard to find a good time when you have clients across several time zones!

I wish I found the Financial Gym sooner! I had such a wonderful experience with Catriona. She helped me navigate multiple job changes, get out of debt, save for and buy a house, budget for a wedding and fertility treatments, and start a family. This company truly provides nonjudgmental support towards your financial goals. There is no shame along the way- but consistent accountability, financial education, and encouragement. Can't recommend them enough!

As someone who has always struggled with managing finances, Financial Gym has made a huge difference in my life. I usually am embarrassed to confront this kind of thing, especially with another person, but my coach, Joy, has been extremely supportive, and the resources she has given me are very well-tailored to my needs. Even with the monthly cost, I’ve been able to restructure my monthly spending to where I am saving more money than I ever thought I could. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who is looking to get their finances back on track!

Joy Liu is an understanding, kind, and very knowledgeable FinGym financial advisor -- and I highly recommend her! I came to Joy at the start of Covid, worried about my finances and in strong need of good advice. In her calm, positive, and non-judgmental way, Joy has helped me see the value in keeping records of my weekly and monthly earnings, as well as how to take advantage of ways of saving. Talking about finances used to be so awkward for me, but meeting regularly with Joy over time has helped me gain confidence in talking about money, accounts, and in learning more about finance in general. Joy has taken away my fear of finances and replaced it with personal growth and financial knowledge.

I had a wonderful experience, and left feeling much more confident in my financial acumen, my goals, and my ability to achieve them. Thank you Financial Gym!

FinGym is a game changer! I absolutely love working with my trainer Sam Cash, she helps me face what I used to think of as scary financial realities with confidence and transparency! It has been so comforting to be able to talk with her about anything I'm worried about, she is so kind and easy to talk to. It's like having a financial therapist, which I never knew I needed. Highly recommend to everyone, you can't go wrong with knowing more about your financial situation and having the tools to become your best self!

Sam is awesome. She made me feel so at ease in our sessions. I definitely feel less anxiety and more confident when it comes to the world of finances. Thank you so much Sam!!!

Joy is very helpful and thorough to her approach and helps me see what I am failing to address in managing my finances!

Financial gym is more than just a budgeting service. I feel like they truly care about your well-being and work with you to uncover the roots of what has created a friction in your finances. I've made tremendous progress working with Genar and he has been such a light in this journey. Very grateful to have him as my coach and to have found financial gym when I did. I couldn't recommend them enough!

Sara has been a lifeline for me as I have learned to navigate the world of our finances with so much more clarity and empowerment - so thankful for this service

I have worked with my advisor, Tina Hang for almost four years. She is incredibly knowledgeable and supportive. She helped me navigate the financial challenges of various life events. I started as a young, single professional, and am now married with a baby on the way, having paid for my wedding and master’s education, all while working. I could not have done it without her. She was always sensitive to my goals and helped me achieve them successfully overtime. I recommend the Financial Gym to friends and family often.
