If you’ve been following me on Instagram, you’ve probably seen me post about the Financial Gym. Sooo you might be wondering, what is it?
“Like a regular gym, you pay a monthly membership fee; but unlike a regular gym, your monthly fee includes a dedicated financial trainer, we call it your “B.F.F.” (Best. Financial. Friend.) who works with you one-on-one to help you set financial goals, create a plan for accomplishing them, and supports you along the way to achieving these goals. “
The Financial Gym, FAQ Page
I just had my quarterly review session with my B.F.F, Victoria, and I already feel so empowered about my finances! I’ve always been pretty good with my money, but moving to New York City has tested me. If you didn’t know, I spent several months after graduation saving up so that I could make this move. And it was scary to see all of my savings disappear in the moving process (most of it going towards my apartment!).
I didn’t like the feeling of living paycheck-to-paycheck, so when the Financial Gym reached out to collab, I was ECSTATIC!
TFG has a super cool office space in the city, but you don’t have to live in NYC to be a member! In fact, you’re able to meet with your Financial Trainer anywhere via video calls and phone calls… AKA you don’t even have to leave bed if you don’t want to! However if you do live in the city, it’s worth your time going to the gym! They have a “money” bar, snacks, a library, events, book clubs, and more!
THE PROCESS:
The first meeting is a “Financially Naked Session” where you lay all your finances out there for your trainer to review. This can be scary and maybe even embarrassing, but it’s the first step in getting financially fit! You review your budget, your goals, and everything in-between.
After a week or so, you meet with your B.F.F again to get your customized financial plan. This is the MOST exciting part! This is the step-by-step plan to reach your goals. You can also link all of your financial accounts for your trainer to track and review.
From there, you meet with your trainer every quarter to touch base. Your trainer will also e-mail you in between sessions to see if you want to hop on a call to discuss anything. Your trainer will look at what you’re spending your money on and try to find ways to help you financially.
So how did the Financial Gym help me?
The Financial Gym was EXACTLY what I needed. As a recent college graduate, I had no clue what my financial goals should be. My trainer helped me create a plan to become more financially stable so that I don’t have to live paycheck-to-paycheck in this expensive city called NYC.
Because of my trainer, I have….
- Opened an additional credit card to get travel rewards and bonuses.
- Opened a high-yield savings account for my “emergency savings”.
- Started my retirement savings account! #adulting
- Purchased some stock plans to invest
- Made a plan to pay off my student loans (which is A LOT)
- Started being more aware of what I’m spending money on
- Finally started following my budget! I don’t always stick to it, but it’s a start!
My experience with the Financial Gym has been truly amazing and I would LOVE to refer you all! If you’re even SLIGHTLY interested, you can head HERE to set up a free consultation phone call. There is ZERO commitment to join- it’s just for you to see if it’s worthwhile. I PROMISE they won’t try to sell you on it or scare you! Please mention my name when you have this call too! 🙂
If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask me! If you’re someone who wants to achieve your financial goals, the Financial Gym is for you!
