How can I know this pregnancy workout program is safe for me?

My goal for this program from the beginning has been to help ease fear and instill confidence in every pregnant woman who wants to pick up the weights.

In addition to creating and testing these workouts day by day throughout my own pregnancy, I also have expansive experience and education in the field. I hate talking about myself, but I also think it’s important to know what this program is backed by! Here’s some of the reasons you can trust this programming & me as your coach:

  • I am dual-certified in pregnancy and postpartum fitness (CPPC, P&PA) and do this full time
  • I’ve coached this population in-person for over 5 years
  • I majored in Exercise Science from the University of Michigan and am constantly continuing my education with research articles, podcasts & more
  • I train other coaches & practitioners through my Mother FIGRs Certification in the field of pregnancy and postpartum fitness
  • I have been hired to run pregnancy, postpartum and mom-based classes and educational workshops in multiple cities around my area
  • I am trusted and referred to by midwives, OBGYNs, chiropractors, acupuncturists, massage therapists, nutritionists and doulas
  • I’m a 2x girl mom and have lived out the changes you’ll experience too!

These aren’t just normal workouts modified for pregnancy.

Workout intensity, duration, exercise selection, rest periods & more were specifically selected to cater to your body’s needs and capabilities each and every day.

Workouts focus on maintaining strength of key muscle groups like the glutes, back & core for pregnancy and motherhood

Exercises, warm-ups & stretches are programmed to ease pregnancy-related aches and pains

Labor prep workouts are included in the third trimester to get your body ready for birth

Keep lifting the weights.

FIGR:Pregnancy uses dumbbells, kettlebells & barbells while keeping it appropriate & safe for pregnancy.

Madi’s Story:

“At the beginning of my pregnancy I was so worried about how my workouts would be affected – I had no idea what was safe for me/my baby and didn’t know where to start to figure out what was best for my baby and to keep me on track with my own personal goals.

Conveniently, FIGR was just launching the pregnancy program and I knew it would be perfect for me.

It was perfect to have the workouts already prepared for me so I had no excuses to skip a workout and tailoring the workouts each day depending on what my body needed was super easy to do!“

Frequently Asked Questions

The workouts include work with dumbbells, barbells, kettlebells, cardio machines (stationary bike, run/incline walk), bands, boxes, med balls and TRX/suspension system.

If you do not have access to some or all of these, I provide a dumbbell option for every move that requires equipment other than a dumbbell directly in the workout instructions for that day.

This program is best for women who have worked out consistently for at least 6 months before pregnancy, and who have experience with weighted movements like deadlifts, squats and kettlebell swings. It is not recommended for beginners or anyone who does not feel comfortable with basic movements.

Every workout is different and is designed to help you maintain overall strength, cardiovascular endurance, mobility and muscle throughout your entire pregnancy.

Workout structures include: supersets, circuits, intervals, EMOM’s, AMRAP’s, chippers, ladders and more.

Workout duration changes as you progress through the program, but in general will be 45-60 minutes each.

These workouts include movements that:

  • help build lower body endurance for labor
  • stretch the perineum to help reduce/prevent tearing
  • encourage optimal position of the baby for delivery
  • get the baby to engage with the cervix to help get things moving before labor even starts

It is suggested that you talk about any contraindications you may have for exercise with your doctor beginning any exercise program while pregnant. 

If you are not satisfied with your program, you can get a full refund back to the card on file for the current month.

Yes. It is available on both devices. Additionally, anyone in the world can subscribe.

About Me

Hello! I’m Katelyn Darkangelo, P&PA (Pregnancy and Postpartum Athleticism Cocah) and CPPC (Certified Pregnancy and Postpartum Coach), creator of the FIGR:Pregnancy fitness program and founder of FIGR. I live in Brighton, MI, married my high school sweetheart, Anthony, and became a mom Thanksgiving Day on 11/25/21 when our sweet Amelia was born!

Fitness has always been my biggest obsession. I majored in Movement/Exercise Science from the University of Michigan in 2017, then earned my Master of Management from Duke University so I could turn my passion for fitness into a real business. I created FIGR, in 2018 and it’s been our full time career since 2019. Both my husband and I train clients in person and through the FIGR app to help bring elite fitness to everyone.

When I became pregnant, I got certified as a pre & postnatal fitness coach so I could apply everything I was learning to my own pregnant and postpartum body. I then had in person clients become mothers along the way and have been able to guide them safely and effective through their own pregnancy and postpartum recoveries!

My personal experience, in-person client experiences, history in the fitness industry and knowledge gained through my certifications ultimately led to the creation of FIGR:Pregnancy and FIGR:Postpartum. I’ve been able to coach hundreds of women through their healthiest pregnancy and strongest recovery, and I cannot wait to continue to help more in the years to come!
