Lindsay Perez has been an absolute blessing! During our initial phone call, she put me at ease by explaining that managing money is not only about the numbers, but also about managing life events and decisions. She never made me feel judged, and has given me concrete steps to move closer to my goals. My money stress has dropped significantly and my net worth has risen significantly. Thank you Lindsay! You have made all the difference for me.

The Financial Gym has taught me how to manage money and lower debt. You would think money management would be common sense or a basic skill taught in school. Guess what? It's not! I've been working with Jessica B. for almost a year. When I begin working with her, we quickly set strategic savings goals, identified areas to pay off my credit card debt, and put more focus on lowering my school loans. Jessica has coached me on living within my financial means. This is something that I needed to learn quickly. Jessica has been patient, kind and a great mentor. I can't say that I understood how I was managing money until I started working with her. As I continued to work with Jessica, my salary would increased. It made no sense to me why I still felt like I did not have money. I would always say to myself after a salary increase "you still need more money". Well, don't we all? However, I needed to take a step back and look at my spending habits and the Financial Gym allowed me to work with Jessica, so that I could look at my own spending behavior. When I look back over the year, I can't help but appreciate the maturity I have seen with lowering my debt, paying off credit cards and increased in savings. I would highly recommend the Financial Gym for anyone that needs help with saving, money management, investing, or learning how to spend money more effectively. THIS COMPANY IS A GAME CHANGER!

The Financial Gym is everything it's advertised to be and more. It's a much needed community and fun to boot! My trainer Crystal is the bomb.com. I can count on her for money real talk, we set fun and attainable quarterly goals, and I'm confident that I'm setting up a great money foundation. TFG is such an immersive experience; there are great articles/resources, events, and money tribes across the country. Shannon's podcast is a delight. I think everyone should join - the sooner the better in my humble opinion.

I am a 54 yo single mom with two kids in college. I stumbled across The Financial Gym in the fall of 2018 at a low-point in my financial life. I had a good job, but struggled keeping my financial house in order. I had $40k in credit card debt and about $200 in a savings account. I felt completely overwhelmed and ashamed. The first steps were the hardest: making the call, setting up the meeting and exposing my entire mess to my BFF, Lindsay. She was kind, patient and completely unflappable. She looked at my whole financial life, not just the debt part. We set some short and long-term goals, made a plan, and I started implementing the plan. I also sat-in on several webinars offered by The Financial Gym, which gave me some good food for thought. Now, a year later, I feel a financial confidence that I've never felt before. Although I'm still working to pay off my debt, my debt-anxiety is gone. Lindsay and I have re-evaluated the plan a few times, made some adjustments, and I just keep doing my best to follow the plan. Lindsay doesn't give me strict instructions, she gives me suggestions and options. She coached me through a recent job interview and helped me negotiate a much higher salary than I ever thought I'd make...including all the benefits I requested. My credit score is above 800, I'll have the debt paid off in 14 months and I'm looking forward to planning some much-needed repairs around my house. I am grateful that Shannon McLay started the Financial Gym and deeply grateful for my BFF, Lindsay. I enjoy our conversations so much - I tell her all the time that I want to "be her" when I grow up. We have regular scheduled meetings, but she is always good at responding to an email, or giving me a call, when I have questions between meetings. Working with The Financial Gym might be the best investment I've ever made.

I signed a 3 month contract in April 2019. Had two calls and never any follow up after those two initial calls. I cancelled my 3 month contract as per the terms of the agreement and I am still being charged $200 monthly. I reach out every month for a refund and never received one. Stay away! At this point I am owed $1200 for incorrect charges.

I have been working with the financial gym for 15 months now and it has CHANGED MY LIFE. I have paid off over 15k in credit cards, a 401k loan, and I now save roughly 25-30% of my income each month (vs. maybe 5% before?). I have lots of cash in savings, and I'm working slowly on paying down other debt. The peace of mind I have from working with my trainer, Joy, is priceless. I totally understand that it can be difficult to wrap your head around spending money to try to get your finances in order. In fact, for about a year before joining I resisted the urge to join, thinking - I'm smart enough, I can do it on my own! Meanwhile, I made very little progress on my own, and the progress I have made with the Financial Gym would pay for dozens of membership fees. The best part of the Financial Gym is feeling at peace with my money, knowing that I'm on the right track (even if I'm not perfect yet). Highly recommend to anyone and everyone!

I've been working with Jacqueline for the past year. She really helped with a comprehensive plan for my financial goals and helped me to become confident that I was making good money choices and establishing good financial habits and practices. I was afraid to get involved with a service like this, thinking that I'd be judged for my spending habits or I'd get a cookie cutter plan. That was totally unfounded! Jacqueline is very sweet and never passed judgement on where I choose my money. She created a personalized plan based on my needs and interests, and if we came across stumbling blocks, we were able to be flexible and reevaluate the plan. In the past year, I've increased my credit score by 100+ points, paid off more than $15K in debt, and increased my savings by nearly $10K. My finances used to be a great source of anxiety, but now I feel truly successful in being able to make my money work for me!

I'm still a newer member of The Financial Gym but they have been so helpful and supportive! My trainer Beca has been kind, uplifting and straightforward with me. All things I deeply need. For the first time in my life I'm actually excited about my finances! I'm growing more and more confident every day!
