About FIGR

FIGR (pronounced “figure“) is an in-person and online community of hard working, strong minded individuals that commit to daily improvement in their fitness and in every day life.

FIGR was launched in 2018 with hard copy fitness programs. After selling hundreds of hard copies over the first two years, we transitioned into offering monthly subscription programs in 2020 through the FIGR App

FIGR is also a full scale gym with one location in South Lyon, MI where we train in person small group functional fitness classes, run workshops, and train clients one on one.

FIGR stands for Fit Is Getting Real and got its name from our belief that it takes real action, real dedication, and real commitment to actually build a healthy, fit lifestyle. We were frustrated with the fitness industry’s quick-fix messaging, which has never and will never work. That’s why we sought to build a community that pushes people to take prioritize their health and fitness, to put in the work, and to stay committed to their goals.

Our mission is to help you achieve your own definition of REAL success in and out of the gym. We do this by providing fitness programs and personal training options that not only produce physical results, but also help you build a rock solid mindset. We believe that when you work to improve your fitness, you gain the skills and mindset to improve your entire life, which makes the gym one of the most important parts of your day!

My muscle definition in my arms, shoulders and abs is sick, this is the best shape I've ever been in, at age 51! I'm addicted! Anthony and Katelyn are the real deal, very professional, personable, intelligent, inspirational, and they truly care about helping you reach your goals based on what's right for you.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  After having two kids, getting back to the gym felt overwhelming—but this class changed that. The classes being led by Katelyn who really understands the postpartum journey, and being surrounded by other moms going through the same thing made me feel supported and motivated. I’ve not only regained strength and confidence, but also reactivated muscles that had been shut off during pregnancy. I’m so thankful I found this class and decided to sign up—highly recommend the postpartum class it to any new mom! Can’t wait to continue with FIGR!

 recommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook.  I am on my 6th week of using the FIGR app. I have seen similar apps before but at a very costly price. Coming across FIGR, I was surprised by the rate and figured “at a minimum i can log my workouts”, expecting less trainer involvement.

The opposite turned out to be true. I engaged in a fitness challenge they put on, an indepth community pushing to reach the same goals, and a very quick turnaround from the coaches on question. The level of engagement surprised me.

Additionally, the program was everything I was looking for. I have an athletic background and regularly used the gym. However, the app simplified everything for me and pushed me as well. Each day it’s programmed with indepth workouts, and videos highlighting the exercise. Not having to think about what i am going to do has helped, as well as push me when I am not feeling like it. 

Ive also enjoyed the live workouts they offer. Its a great shake up.

It also allows for progress photos, syncs up with food, sleep trackers and a weight monitoring feature. Much more too that i havent taken advantage of.

Overall, im hooked and its served me greatly. Im looking to expand my goals and up my package to a more extensive one that will encompass more strict nutrition and catered training. Highly recommend it.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  10/10 - Katelyn offers in person and online programs that are perfect for pregnancy and postpartum. I love the small class sizes and feel like I'm getting an individualized workout when she has specific modifications that support my current needs. Super knowledgeable about pelvic floor/core exercises to support moms and our ever changing bodies!  I love that I can roll out of bed and no one is judging me for not wearing the latest "workout fit". Bonus points for offering child care!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  FIGR classes are the best. Every workout is different and challenging in the best way possible. Katelyn is adaptable, easy to work with and fun. The view helps balance out the burpees! Cannot recommend FIGR programs, team and family enough!

 recommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook.  I can honestly say FIGR has changed my life. Katelyn and Anthony did the perfect job creating an easy to use app that has such a great variety of workouts to follow, making it SO easy on me so I don’t have to plan a thing! The workouts have pushed me and motivate me each time to continue and work harder. The in person classes I attend are something I look forward to every time. Katelyn goes above and beyond to be motivating and comforting, yet she pushes me to limits I never mentally or physically thought I could reach. My results thus far have made me gain my confidence back, which makes me so excited to continue my journey. I’d recommend FIGR to anyone looking to change their lifestyle and work with the best team while doing so!!!

I feel stronger, more confident in the gym, and it helped alleviate the pinched nerve I had after birth! Katelyn was an excellent coach and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone either just starting in their fitness journey, or getting back into it after having a baby!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I’ve spent the last decade training in MMA and CrossFit. When I became pregnant I switched to FIGR’s pregnancy program and it was amazing! Even with my background, I was nervous on what was ok to do while pregnant as a first time mom. FIGR took that worry away and I was able to continue training confidentially. After having my baby I joined FIGR’s postpartum program which helped soooo much. I literally would not have known what to do and how to heal correctly and safely without FIGR. Another perk to working out here is workifn out with other mamas too! It’s a fun, encouraging environment.

 recommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook.  FIGR has been such an awesome program for me in so many ways! This is the first time I haven't been quickly discouraged or overwhelmed by a fitness program and it actually feels like something I can stick with long-term. I believe that the flexibility, group support, and simplicity of the app are just some of the reasons I have enjoyed FIGR so much. I especially love the videos that show you how to do certain exercises. I haven't been this excited about exercising or been so motivated to keep going in a long time. Katelyn and Anthony are supportive, attentive, and always there to help. I would recommend FIGR to anyone who is looking to start working out again or looking to diversify their current routine!
