The Financial Gym W 25th St, New York

While our initial meeting with our coach was fine , we were told we would have quarterly meetings and check ins. We did not hear from our coach for 6 months and was sent a very generic email not tailored to us. We ended up cancelling our membership but paid for 6 months of coaching to only have 1 call. In our cancellation email we requested to have 1 final meeting but they cancelled without setting it up. Overall, disappointed that we paid hundreds of dollars for 1 45 minute call. But, the 1 call we had went well. Feels like a waste of money when the whole point of the program is how to make smart financial decisions.

I have been a member of The Financial Gym for about 2 years now! In those two years I have been able to pay down debt, increase my credit score and learn about my personal financial negative habits and how to replace them with positive ones! I have loved every step of the journey and my trainer Georgina is truly nothing short of exceptional. She provides encouraging and informative feedback and is always available when needed. I have thrown plenty of financial curve balls her way and she has been able to handle all of them professionally and intelligently. I highly recommend The Financial Gym to anyone who wants to improve their finances.

I have been a member at The Financial Gym for nearly a year and it has made such a huge difference in my financial journey. It has been a tremendous help to have someone keep you accountable with your financial goals, offer encouragement and resources along the way. While this has only begun my financial journey to become debt free and save for big financial goals, I find great value in the resources that the gym offers. They have quality trainers that work with you to develop a plan, check in quarterly and are available for any questions that may come up. This is not a replacement for the work that is done in one's financial fitness journey. Similar to how people may think that buying a gym membership is where the work stops for a physical fitness journey, there is work to be done in strengthening both one's physical and financial fitness. The Financial Gym is a great additional tool that I appreciate and value.

Joining The Financial Gym has been one of the best decisions I have made in my life! My trainer, Gus, is the greatest! He is very responsive, smart, and caring. I feel like Gus is one of my long-distance friends that I can always rely on. Along with being a great friend, he has helped me a lot with my finances. I never thought my finances could get this place. It is all thanks to Gus and The Financial Gym. I highly recommend The Financial Gym!

I have been a member at the Financial Gym for almost 2 years, and although I don't live in New York, it has been one of the most valuable investments I've made. I consider my trainer Chandra to be a wonderful long-distance friend, and she has helped me take charge of my finances and keep me in check. Our monthly calls are always enjoyable and informative. I've also attended a few money tribe events in my city and met many like-minded women. Would highly recommend to anyone :)

I've been a client with The Financial Gym since 2018 and I can honestly say that I am in much better control of my finances than I was two years ago. I was struggling with credit card debt, a subpar credit score, saving, and just managing my money in general. Once I began working with my financial trainer, Chandra, she not only educated me on how to manage my debt and finances better, but she also helped me to create better boundaries for myself so that I can live a happier and more prosperous life. With Chandra's guidance and The Financial Gym's resources, I've managed to pay off two credit cards, raise my credit score above 700, establish savings, and recently I was approved for my first apartment on my own. These were the kind of results I was looking for when I joined as a client two years ago and I intend to remain a client with Financial Gym indefinitely.

I've worked virtually with my financial trainer at the Gym for over a year now and have made significant progress in my own personal finances. I've also developed a great relationship and friendship with my trainer, Brenda, and feel totally comfortable and empowered when working with her. No matter where you are in your financial journey, the trainers at the Gym can help you achieve your goals!

I am so very happy I found The Financial Gym! My advisor has helped me get my financial life together quickly! I saw results immediately after receiving my personal plan and I have been consistently meeting my goals ever since. I'm so grateful and will completely be debt free in about 5 more months!! (I started early Spring 2019)

I really wanted to like this place, and still want give it a chance actually. I was canceled with my advisor due to rescheduling several appointments. I tried to reach out yo my advisor Bevin to discuss my reasons for rescheduling ( I had emergency spinal surgery and had a pretty difficult recovery), she did not respond to my emails, instead I think she complained to a supervisor who then reached out to me and said, that it would be best to work with another advisor, and canceled my next appointment that I had with her. I was so disappointed by the lack of empathy and I really didn’t want to work with anyone else. Like I said I still want to give this place try but God forbid I have another emergency surgery in the future.

Garrett Faulconer has been my coach for a year and a half now, and in that time I have incredible strides in my financial confidence and literacy with his help. He was exactly the cool, calm and collected coach I needed to be able to address the issues I had without anxiety. With his coaching and the Financial Gym method, I had a real structure and plan that allowed me as a self-employed business owner to feel a sense of control and ownership over it all. I went into the program with a laundry list of chaos. I now have a credit score higher than ever, and have paid off every negative debt with ease. I am headed toward buying a home, which felt out of reach before our time working together. Garrett is gifted in his ability to support and encourage. I recommend anyone to give this program a try, even a year, for a real overhaul of your financial systems. There is no bigger gift to yourself. And ask for Garrett, he's the best one.

I really love the Financial Gym! It's a great way to help you meet any goals you might have financially. After joining I paid off my car, all my credit card debt, and started a fund to buy a house. My Trainer Stacy Rose was fantastic at listening to what I really wanted, helped me to create budgets, and also kept me accountable to my goals. She is also always available to help shift budgets with life priorities (like a big move coming up or unforeseen expense) or whatever life throws my way. Can't recommend this them enough!

I've been working with my financial trainer, Lauren S., for four months now and I couldn't be more impressed with her and The Financial Gym team! In this short time, I've doubled my cash on hand, lowered by debt by 20%, increased my credit score by 125 points, restructured my 401k plan and have seen a $1800 increase, started an emergency AND a home fund - the list of positives just goes on and on! It takes commitment, it takes a little sacrifice, but it WORKS! I finally feel like I'm getting not just my finances, but my life, back on track. Lauren has been so supportive of my goals, patient with my questions, and she's always available to chat when I need to check in. It's so nice to feel like someone is "in this" with you has your best interest in mind. I wholeheartedly recommend The Financial Gym and their team!

I loved my experience with the Financial Gym working with my trainer, Crystal. I already considered myself pretty good with budgeting and saving but Crystal introduced me to next-level stuff that really allowed me to use my good credit to do more with my money. Things I never though of such as putting my savings into a high yield account, getting an amazing travel rewards credit card, and most importantly, refinancing my student loan to drop my interest rate from 6.8% to almost 0%. All of her advice has helped me optimize what I do with my hard earned cash. All of this with a very personalized and friendly customer experience. Money is a super personal and individual subject and Crystal was very knowledgeable, supportive, and made the whole process feel like I was being advised by a friend. Would highly recommend the Financial Gym and trainer Crystal!

I believe that everyone should have access to financial services, regardless of their income level. This is why I couldn't recommend The Financial Gym more. They offer financial services at affordable costs and are ready to meet you wherever you might be on your financial journey. The trainers will make a plan that is specific to your needs, goals and lifestyle. I especially appreciate that my trainer, Chandra, approaches each of our meetings with compassion and humor, which is extremely helpful in combating the insecurities I have surrounding my finances. It also feels important to me that I am working with a woman of color, especially as black and brown communities have been historically denied access to these financial resources. I am constantly encouraging my friends to sign up for a membership and I encourage anyone reading this review to do so as well.

Sara has been my coach for about 9 months. In that time, I’ve paid down debt I’d been carrying for a long time, raised my credit score, and most importantly, felt like I was accountable to someone. I feel more confident knowing that I have a budget that works for me. I’d highly recommend the Financial Gym to anyone who struggles with financial literacy. I like that I have the option to continue growing my financial skills with Sara as my debts are paid down and I have more flexibility with how I save and invest.
