Budget Coaching — Classified Fitness
Your Budget.
Built to Work.
Most people don't have a money problem — they have a plan problem. Budget Coaching gives you the system, the accountability, and the coach to finally make your money work the way you need it to.
The System
We Work With YNAB
Every client I work with uses YNAB. It's not just software, it's a method. YNAB teaches you to give every dollar a job before you spend it, so you're always making intentional decisions with your money instead of reacting to what's left.
As a Certified YNAB Coach, I don't just show you how to set it up — I help you build a budget that actually fits your real life, your real income, and your real goals.
Why YNAB?
YNAB users report saving an average of $600 in their first two months and over $6,000 in their first year. The method works — but most people need a coach to help them build the habit and stick with it. That's where I come in.
The Process
What Coaching Looks Like
Budget Coaching is built in two phases — we start with onboarding to build your foundation, then move into continued coaching to keep you on track and growing.
01
Onboarding
We start by getting a full picture of where you are — your income, expenses, debt, and goals. I help you set up YNAB from scratch, build your first real budget, and walk you through the four rules that make the method work. By the end of onboarding you have a working budget and a clear plan. Onboarding is available as a solo deep-dive, a group session, or a single-call option depending on where you're starting from.
02
Continued Coaching
Life changes — income shifts, unexpected expenses hit, goals evolve. Continued coaching keeps your budget working through all of it. We meet regularly to review your numbers, troubleshoot what's not working, and make adjustments. This is where real financial momentum is built. Monthly coaching plans are available after completing onboarding.
Who This Is For
Is This Right For You?
Budget Coaching isn't for everyone — and that's okay. It's built for people who are ready to take an honest look at their money and do the work to change it.
- You feel like you're making decent money but it disappears every month
- You want to get out of debt but don't know where to start
- You've tried budgeting apps before but can't make them stick
- You're a small business owner or have variable income
- You want to save for something specific and need a clear path to get there
- You're tired of financial stress and ready for a real plan
What You Can Expect
Real Results
Budget Coaching is not a quick fix. It's a system you build and a habit you develop. Clients who go through onboarding and stick with continued coaching consistently report:
- Knowing exactly where their money is going every month
- Eliminating the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle
- Building an emergency fund for the first time
- Paying down debt with a clear, structured plan
- Feeling in control of their finances instead of the other way around
