Laura’s Story:

“I cannot say enough about the FIGR Pregnancy & Postpartum programs.

The FIGR:Pregnancy workout program not only primed my body for a long labor, but helped with my sciatic pain in the 2nd trimester, improved my energy and nausea in the 1st, and helped ease general anxiety and regulate my hormones.”

I can honestly say I couldn’t have done it without FIGR!”

Every workout is specific for your pregnant body, down to the exact day.

For example: workout 18.1 shows up on your to-do list when you’re 18 weeks 1 day pregnant.

If your body changes daily, your workouts should change daily too!

Feel confident lifting weights during your pregnancy.

  • metcons + strength workouts were programmed specifically for pregnancy
  • movement videos will show you how to perform all moves properly
  • modifications, regressions and movement selections are done for you so there’s no fear or guesswork

  • you’ll get app messages each week to help guide you along your journey

  • 1 on 1 messaging with me (not a bot) is available for any personal questions or concerns

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

My goal for this program from the beginning was to help ease fear and instill confidence in every pregnant woman who picks up the weights.

That’s why I physically did every single workout during my own pregnancy, at the exact time you’ll be doing them yourselves, so you could have a plan that makes you feel safe, properly guides you and that will keep you fit, safe & confident all the way to the end.

In addition to doing the program myself, I also have expansive experience and education in the field. Not only have I been an avid fitness lover for my entire life, but I also have two certifications in pregnancy fitness coaching, 4+ years with in-person coaching experience, a degree in exercise science, and have led multiple educational workshops specifically on pregnancy and postpartum fitness!

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. I had been doing the FIGR:Strength program pre-pregnancy and loved it so natrually I loved the pregnancy program as well.

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 needed was super easy to do.

Fast forward and I am now currently loving the postpartum program!”

My Story.

Going hard and going heavy were my two favorite things to do in the gym.

I was actually just starting a deadlift to 300lbs program when I found out I was pregnant.

I remember being so nervous those first few weeks not knowing what I could do, what I should do, if I was harming my baby, and all the other anxiety-ridden thoughts that go through a first-time-mom’s brain.

I majored in Exercise Science from the University of Michigan, had been coaching clients online and in-person for 6 years and STILL had no idea how to approach fitness in this new phase of life.

I took to the internet/social media and immediately got annoyed by the conflicting information, and it seemed that every nurse had a different opinion as well. On top of that, all the pregnancy workout programs I saw online just looked too…easy.

There was nothing out there that I could find that was for the mom like me, who wanted to still lift the barbells & hit their AMRAP’s, while still keeping it appropriate for pregnancy.

I was frustrated. And I knew I couldn’t be the only one feeling the same way.

So, I decided to do something about it.

I got certified in pregnancy & postpartum fitness, and created FIGR:Pregnancy and FIGR:Postpartum based on my exact workouts through the thick of these seasons myself.

I found an immediate addiction to learning all I could and a calling to help other moms feel confident in the gym during pregnancy and postpartum. I wanted to help spread the fact that working out during pregnancy is not only not harmful, but that it is one of the most important components to a healthy pregnancy and to a smoother, stronger postpartum recovery.

Since then I have been able to coach hundreds of women through my app programs, through in-person and online workshops, and through private and group training and I couldn’t pick a career I would rather dedicate myself to more.

This pregnancy workout program will give you the guidance, confidence and peace of mind that you’re staying safe in the gym AND staying your fittest, all the way ’til the very end.

Frequently Asked Questions

The workouts include work with dumbbells, barbells, kettlebells, cardio machines (bike, row, skierg, treadmill, elliptical), bands, boxes, med balls, TRX/suspension system and cable machines.

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 (head down)
  • get the baby to engage with the cervix to help get things moving before labor even starts

You’ll get 2 labor prep pieces per week from weeks 28-34, and 4 labor prep pieces per week for weeks 34-40.

It is suggested that you are cleared by your doctor to work out before 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.

No previous months can be refunded.

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

If you are in a different country, only credit cards (not debit cards) are accepted in the payment portal.

About Me

Hello! I’m Katelyn Darkangelo, P&PA and CPPC (certified pregnancy and postpartum coach), creator of the FIGR:Postpartum postpartum 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 over 200 women through their healthiest pregnancy and strongest recovery, and I cannot wait to continue to help more in the years to come!
