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, in 2020 FIGR transitioned into offering monthly subscription programs through the FIGR App. There are now five app subscriptions which include FIGR:Elite, FIGR:Functional, FIGR:Strength, FIGR:Pregnancy and FIGR:Postpartum. FIGR is also a full scale gym with one location in South Lyon, MI where we train in person small group functional fitness classes.
FIGR 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!
