Katholyn Runnels
Working out with Figarelle’s fitness has been a life changing experience. Over the years, I have worked out with many different trainers - from trainers at big gyms to other private trainers. Steph and and Lela are incomparable. Where other trainers may push too hard (leaving excruciating soreness and barrier to wanting to work out) or too little (providing little results) - Steph and Lela have the knowledge and expertise to push you just enough out of your comfort zone to leave you with that good workout soreness but not so much you aren’t excited to come back for more. They achieve results! Since working with them - I have lost more weight than I thought possible, but also gotten stronger and achieved goals I never knew I wanted. I have now completed triathlons, 6ks and run better than I ever have. Whatever your goals may be - Figarelle’s fitness can help you achieve them and more. They will be your biggest cheerleaders while holding you accountable to what you want to achieve in a very personalized manner! There is no better place or people to help achieve your goals and set new ones.

Steph is a great coach because she knows what she’s talking about and she practices what she preaches. That made it easy to trust her with my training and nutrition. There’s a lot of information and trainers out there, it was difficult to create and/or follow a plan on my own to achieve the goals I had for myself. She’s straight forward, and keeps it simple. She takes into account everything particular to you and your goals, tweaks and redirects you so you can be your best self. It’s been easy and fun to follow a plan that works and to have a trainer/coach I can go to for help and insight when difficulties come up. I’d recommend Figarelle’s Fitness to anyone that’s tired of not getting results, needs focus, or just starting their health and fitness journey.

I started looking for more accountability than just working out on my own in the gym. I had been following Figarelle's Fitness online for a while and really appreciated their approach. I contacted them and joined the gym in Oct. 2019. Every one there is a great coach and are always available as an awesome resources outside of class. I could feel right away the interest and commitment that they had in helping me reach my fitness and health goals. Since October, I have lost 20lbs, gained muscle and I'm much stronger. I've also made new friends and look forward to our small group workouts. I recommend Figarelle's Fitness to anyone looking to get healthier in both body and mind.

The slump is over!
I first learned of Figarelle's Fitness by chance at the Lost Lake Race in Seward many years ago. Any business giving their time to the community spiked my interest and I started to look for her on social media. I appreciated that she always shared great strength workouts with an emphasis on correct form.
I first started working with Steph about 4 months ago when I found myself overwhelmed with workout choices. I, like many people switched to home workouts during Covid and I needed a plan! I was in a slump. My main goal coming into training was to learn proper form and to apply that knowledge to keep myself from getting injured out hiking.
Steph has a soft way of getting hard things done. She has a calm manner and really listens to your concerns. I always seem to be learning, not just working out. She really listens to what you want to achieve and I can now say I have a plan. I'm consistent and I know what I'm doing! I feel like I have a trainer and a wellness coach all in one.
I recommend Figarelle's Fitness for anyone wanting to get a good understanding of how and what strength training can do for you. It's an empowering feeling to reach goals and Steph can show you the way!

I'd been working out with trainers at big gyms and never quite found the right match. Then a friend told me about a small gym called Figarelle's and it was a match from the start. I've been coming to this gym for small group sessions weekly for the past two years, and I look forward to it every time.
There's no swiping your gym card at the door and greeting a random stranger at the front desk. At Figarelle's, you walk in and your trainer is right there to meet you. Every single trainer - Charlene, Steph and Lela - has kept you in mind as they built the workout for that day. Workouts are often tailored to the goals of the people in the room. They're also well-rounded, focusing on multiple muscle groups. Working hard in the gym is the goal, but so is being safe and preventing injuries. I appreciate that when they say you can modify an exercise, they absolutely mean it. On multiple occasions, they have helped me swap one exercise for another that would work better for my needs that day. You've got a spotter every time you're on the bench and you've got a handful of people around you who show up for themselves, but they're also your biggest supporters, too.
At Figarelle's, you'll get more than gym workouts. You'll get trainers who schedule special, short seminars so you can learn more about nutrition, losing or maintaining body weight, and setting and striving for goals. You'll get seasonal challenges if you want something more. I check in with the trainers regularly, and every single time I get a thoughtful response.
I'm now in my 40s and am stronger and more fit than I was 20 years ago before having two kids. Give Figarelle's a shot. It's led to so many improvements in my life, inside and outside that gym.

I’ve worked with Figarelle’s Fitness on and off for the last 10 years. Over the last 4 months I started with Steph doing online coaching. I regularly go to the gym but was looking for some guidance and someone to help me reach some new goals. Its been exactly what I needed! I get monthly customized workouts as well as help with my nutrition. The workouts are fun and challenging. Steph is easy to communicate with. She’s always there to help and problem solve any issues I may be having in the gym or with my nutrition. FF approach is focused on healthy living and living your best life. Not restrictive fad dieting and “earning” your food! I would 100% recommend Figarelle’s Fitness to anyone interested in improving their lives. Whether you’re just starting on your fitness journey or a marathon runner FF can help!
Christine DeMorat
I can't express how glad I am that I took a chance in signing up with Steph at Figarelle's Fitness. The difference between FF and a regular gym or personal trainer is the level of personal attention they give to each and every client. Steph checks in with me weekly to see how I am doing and I know she truly cares about my progress and wants me to succeed. She adjusts my macros each week, if necessary, based on my progress and the training programs are amazing! I have finally gained back muscle and strength after a few years of feeling the fatigue of menopause. Steph is a great listener and works with you to develop the best program for you to reach your goals. And if you struggle to figure out what your goals are, she can help with that too. Steph and Lela are constantly reading and learning new things. They stay up on the latest techniques and keep the fitness programs challenging and interesting. Hands down the best trainer I've ever worked with, and I'm a fitness professional (cycle instructor) and have been around many in my fitness career. Look them up and give them a try!

I choose to work with Figarelle's Fitness because of their no-nonsense positivity and because they really listen to your fitness goals. They don't push an agenda on you, they listen to what you want and help push you toward your goals. When I work out with Figarelle's Fitness, I know I am getting knowledgeable, professional guidance that takes into consideration my strengths and weaknesses. Their workouts are challenging, interesting, and push my limits without setting me up for injury. Their style of coaching would be beneficial to people have a health or fitness goal in mind, but who are struggling to achieve it on their own. Figarelle's Fitness is unique because they really take the time to get to know their client's goals, challenges and limitations, and strengths. I have been working with them to get fitter and lose weight since March 2020, I have learned the importance of nutrition and strength training when trying to get back in shape after injuries and a too busy lifestyle. I have lost 10 pounds and am feeling much stronger. I still have a way to go, but feel confident that Figarelle's will help me get there!

I have been with Figarelle Fitness for about 8 years. I knew Steph, Lela and Charlene for several years before going to the gym. They invited me serval times but I just wasn’t ready. Then one day I went and when the class was over I knew I had to go back. It doesn’t matter how old you are to start working out. As we age it is important to workout doing weight bearing exercises.
They listen to what I want and help me through health issues. They have helped with nutrition and give me workouts when I am out of town.
They have made me step out of my safe box. I participate in a burpee challenge, 16 mile Lost Lake Race, and several 5K races. I even tandem skydive at 60. I learned to climb a rope and to do a perfect push-up.
Now with the Covid scare they take all the safety procedures. If your uncomfortable they will wear a mask. They wipe down all equipment after the session. When we could not workout they had zoom.
If you want a good workout and someone that listens to your needs this is the place for you.
Pam Mundt
I'm 68 years young and Figarelle's Fitness was recommended to me by my physical therapist. I came for an interview to see if they were a good fit for what I was looking for. I chose them because I was confident they would support and educate me with my strength training program.
I've gained knowledge in muscle anatomy, lost 20 pounds sensibly and kept it off and gone down a couple of sizes in my pants. I have been with them for almost four years.
My biggest goal achievement is lifting heavy bags of soil over my shoulder while my husband and son look on in amazement.
I highly recommend Figarelle's Fitness to anyone who wants to get in shape for a special occasion, or to get strong and be able to stay active as they get older. Give them a call and try them out for yourself!
Chris Barnett
I started working out with Figarelle's after a friend encouraged me to try them out. That was 6 years ago and I have been a member ever since. The other clients are encouraging and friendly and help you come back time after time. The three coaches are amazing, very knowledgeable, and they work hard to help their clients figure out their goals and to achieve them. During my time with Figurelle's, I have achieved multiple goals with their guidance, including getting personal time records in numerous running races and triathlons, as well as getting into the best shape of my life. I recommend Figarelle's to anyone who wants to see some fitness/health changes in their life.
Jacquelyn Pi
Figarelle's Fitness was recommended by a friend and I'm so happy I committed to their personal training. I'm active and disciplined in my fitness routine but had not worked with a trainer previously. I was interested specifically in creating a daily home practice that was both efficient and effective. Steph provided this, exactly, and I found my strength and endurance improving after only a few sessions. I appreciate that she's supportive, non-judgemental, direct, clear, experienced, and oriented towards health and safety. Highly recommended for anyone looking to start a workout routine or complement an existing one with their professional expertise.
Laurel Renkert
The Figarelle family and fitness team is unmatched in their commitment, education and development to help clients reach their goals. They will meet where you are at in your fitness journey and create a unique plan that aligns with your goals. Highly recommend whether you are starting out with a strength training program, a seasoned athlete or getting back into a routine postpartum. Figarelle’s Fitness has the skills to help and support you!
Barney Duff
I have been working out with Figarelle's Fitness for almost six years and it has truly been life transforming for me. For many years I was very focused on my family and I didn't put much effort into keeping myself physically fit. My life was running kids around and grabbing fast food in between activities. Thankfully, my sister-in-law introduced me to Figarelle's. Honestly, I was a bit scared to try it out, but I knew I had to do what scared me if I wanted to change.
Over the years, I have benefited from their wealth of knowledge in strength training and nutrition. Figarelle's Fitness focuses on the importance of form when strength training so you can get the maximum benefit from every exercise. Their guidance with nutrition has taught me the importance of macro-nutrients for fat loss and has helped me lose over 40 pounds! I mostly appreciate the importance they place on their own continuing education because then I know I'm always getting the best strength training and nutrition guidance.
I have always felt so supported Steph, Lela, and Charlene in all that I do inside the gym and outside the gym. They have encouraged me to set goals and understand the importance of having goals. In doing so, I've been able to accomplish things I never imagined. I've also connected with like-minded people who are always incredibly encouraging and positive. I think you'll find, like I have, that you can achieve great successes being a part of an incredibly supportive group!
Thanks to Figarelle's Fitness I have become empowered to take control of my life. It's especially important to me as I get older because I want to remain active and strong. I've adopted habits that make me confident that I will live a longer, healthier life.
There's just so much to love about Figarelle's Fitness! If you're looking for an awesome fitness gym, Figarelle's Fitness is the place.
Joelle Swalling
I've been working with Figarelle's Fitness off and on for over 5 years. I've not worked with a fitness coach before, but have received serious benefits from their coaching. All the coaches are very concerned about safety and learning the proper techniques to avoid injuries that can sideline progress. The coaching staff all really take the time to get to know you and tailor a program that best fits you from nutrition to goal setting to fitness training. They really do provide all you need to start out on a fitness journey and stay on one for life. So if you are already fit or just starting out, this is a GREAT place to train.

I worked out with Charlene, Lela and Steph for a few years when they held boot camp before I moved out of Alaska for a stint. When I returned to Alaska I needed to find a new gym and struggled to find one that fit in with my schedule, child care needs, and motivated me to actually get in there and work. I reached out to Figarelle’s when I learned about their online coaching option and I am so happy to be reconnected with this team. Steph worked with me to develop a weight training plan that fit within my training goals for trail running races and triathlons and developed creative workouts that I could use when I was out of my cabin for extended periods of time over the summer and without access to typical gym equipment. Following her plan, I trained all summer for the Lost Lake race, got in to the gym 3x/week with clearly defined weight lifting workouts (complete with video links for exercises that might be unfamiliar), and started macro tracking in August. Steph has also provided me with nutrition coaching and in the 2 months we started I have lost 10 pounds (while still eating most of the things I want, including ice cream most days, haha). Overall, I feel stronger, look stronger, and I am meeting and exceeding many of my fitness/performance goals.
Online coaching has given me direction for my fitness goals while also allowing me the flexibility I need to work around my kid’s schedule and my work schedule. Most importantly, working with Figarelle’s holds me ACCOUNTABLE for the goals that I have set and for the work I need to do to meet them. And it’s connected me with a community of driven, motivated, and like-minded people who are passionate about taking care of themselves and being the best version of themselves that they can be. Figarelle’s has a pretty holistic approach to fitness and health/wellness that pushes you to think about the bigger picture and how that might impact your life on many levels. I highly recommend Figarelle’s Fitness online coaching to any of you who still haven’t found the gym or program that really motivates or inspires you. Where there is a will there's a way and the team at Figarelle’s will help you find it!"
Lindsay Rumberger Rivera
I’ve worked out at many a gym and dabbled in personal training before, and these guys are hands down the best. No matter what your goals are, whether it’s lose weight, improve body composition, gain muscle, maintain or reach performance goals they can create a plan to help you attain your goals. Steph, Lela, and Charlene are all very knowledgeable and keep up to date on all things fitness and nutrition-related. Importantly they help teach you proper form and how to prevent injury. I love that Figarelle’s is so much more than gym. This is a community of motivated and supportive people both in the trainers and other clients. I would give more stars if I could but definitely would recommend to anyone looking to embark upon or continue on a fitness journey!
Jess Haley
The trainers at Figarelle's Fitness really know their stuff. I've invested in strength training for the past four years at different places and my experience here far outweighs the rest.
I work out in the small group format, but I really appreciate that they also offer online and personal one-on-one training to fit your needs. I love that I am not just mindlessly going to a class for a few times a week. Here, they know my name, they know I may need to modify an exercise, and the workouts are put together with thoughtful expertise.
If you are looking for an experienced, fun, and committed group of people, this is the best value you will find in Anchorage. In a short amount of time they have helped me improve my form, mobility, and strength, not to mention guiding me to really focus and improve on my personal goals.
Marie-Luise Honeycutt
I attended my first class with Figarelle's Fitness at the end of 2013. Before this I had halfheartedly attended a variety of fitness classes, but none kept me interested. I did almost no physical activity. Figarelle's hooked me with their community and their education. I am the strongest I've ever been and understand how to build and maintain strength, and the importance of doing so. In addition to strength, I also learned about nutrition at Figarelle's. I now feel like I have my life in my own hands and can adjust to any curve life throws. Figarelle's energy is addictive and if you're looking to take control of your life for the best version of yourself, I recommend Figarelle's Fitness!
Holly Chelmo
I've been doing personal training, group classes and nutrition counseling with Figarelle's for about a year and half. When I first started, I knew nothing about weight training and had about 15 pounds I wanted to lose. I've since lost those pounds and now feel confident enough to walk into a gym and lift free weights on my own. I get giddy every time I see new muscles pop up and feel better than I felt in my younger years. These trainers really get to know you and your goals and help you make a personalized plan to meet those goals. They are constantly traveling to conferences to stay up to date in the fitness world but never try to sell you on the latest fads/trends. The class sizes are small so you never feel anonymous, which also means you can't get away with skipping, slacking, or doing things with bad form. :) I think what I appreciate most about FF is their holistic approach. You'll learn a ton about how to lift weights/work out but they'll also get you thinking about how to reduce general stress and improve other aspects of your life. And its fun!!!
Frankie Dashiell
I decided to try Figarelle’s Fitness because my wife and I wanted to get serious about our fitness. I like working out but was never consistent for long. Figarelle’s was the answer. They held us accountable with scheduled sessions and personalized, individual attention. Although we wanted to “get in shape”, we had different definitions of what that was and Figarelle’s made sure we were both on track. We had been around fitness our adult lives but Fig’s really grew our knowledge base exponentially with proper form, nutrition, mobility, and more. They don’t just say how to do something, they say why to do something. The results are fantastic! I'm in great shape, I don’t let strenuous activities deter me – I go on that long hike, work in the yard, move heavy furniture, whatever it is – I live my life. Whether you’re new to fitness or are a life-long athlete, I recommend Steph, Lela, and Charlene. They know how to manage injuries, when to push you, how to help you reach your goals, and they support you 100% through your journey.
Nicole Lewis
I've had lots of gym memberships and personal trainers through the gym. Figarelle's Fitness is by far the best. I'm not paying for an expensive gym membership. I get direct one on one support , help, and training from them and I have seen great results. They are extremely knowledgeable and keep up to date with all things fitness and nutrition. If your looking for a group of women who are friendly, great at what they do, and want that small group atmosphere then this is the place! I wouldn't go anywhere else.
Brittany Blain
While I was pregnant with my first of two sons I watched my neighbor get amazing results working with these wonderful gals! A few months after my first son was born I joined Figarelles Fitness myself and 6 years later, I'm still with it. I was able to get the baby weight off plus more, then got pregnant with son #2 and continued my workouts. Between childbirth and injuries throughout the years they have been very supportive and helped me work through them. Right now I am currently very focused on my fat loss journey. Following workout plans both in and out of their gym AND tracking macronutrients/following a balanced eating plans I have had great success with my fat loss. I have dropped 15 lbs in the last 11 weeks and it has been quite the smooth process with minimal changes to my everyday life... just healthy eating and watching my portions (but no cuts on eating things I enjoy!).
As a mom of two active boys and a very busy husband (who also joined the gym last year) its tough to stay focused BUT good coaches who will support you at a level designed just for you is HUGE! Funny to say this but I am actually enjoying this fat loss journey and it's exciting to see how strong I am getting! Thanks so much for all your support over the years!!
Christopher Cupp
I have been seeing Steph, Lela, and Charlene for almost 10 years and in that time I have come to better myself physically and mentally.
The range of coaching that these three provide is unrivaled in Alaska and it's no wonder that in those 10 years, I still see many of the same faces I did when I first started. This is a testament of not only how good they are as trainers/coaches, but also as people.
In 10-20 years, when I look back at my life, I will know that training with Figarelle's Fitness will be one of the best life decisions I have ever made.
Pam Butcher
The only thing better than looking good is feeling great!
Are you over 55 and think that your best fitness and beauty years are behind you? Not so! At age 56 and post-menopause, Figarelle’s Fitness guided me through a gradual weight loss of about 30 pounds over the course of several months. With continued nutritional coaching, fitness training, and support, that weight has stayed off. That was over 2 years ago. Today, I enjoy beautiful muscle definition, confidence, and clarity. Better than ever! Join me — what are you waiting for?.
Beth Schwartz
I have been working out with Figarelle’s Fitness since September 2014 and it has transformed my life and my mindset.
Back in 2014 I had gone through some tough times and I had re-focused on myself. One of the key lessons I have learned from Steph, Lela, and Charlene is that if you are not taking care of yourself it is so much harder to take care of others. I had hit a plateau and I needed a change. I need a good kick in the rear. My first boot camp was exhilarating, it was tough, but I loved every minute of it.
The support Steph, Lela, and Charlene provide to their clients is amazing. They encourage me to push myself because they truly know me and what I can accomplish. Each time I see or speak with them I not only gain insight and knowledge, but they present information with a real-world perspective. They are willing to share their own goals and challenges because they recognize the power in the community they have created.
There is so much more I could say, there is so much to love about Figarelle’s. If you are ready for the challenge, seeking to workout with a supportive group of like-minded people, ready to push for your goals you should check out Figarelle’s Fitness.
Rachel Duffy
I started doing Private 1:1 sessions with FF in October 2020. I had met Steph, Lela, and Charlene in Book Camp like 5 years ago. Started with the private sessions has been one of the best decisions I could have made for myself. My workouts are personalized to meet my specific needs. And I love that! Basic Group fitness classes have a purpose for sure. But I wasn't seeing the results that I wanted in other group fitness classes. And sometimes I flared something during a class. I have a shoulder injury from over 20 years ago and wanted to strengthen areas that were weakened and find the root of my shoulder pain and headaches. Lela has worked with me on strengthening my Lats! I rarely will have shoulder pain or neck pain now that I have been given the tools. My quality of life has improved tremendously. I'm stoked! The FF team attend conferences and educational seminars that show there commitment to there vocation. They are very knowledgeable, inquisitive about who you are. They want to get to know you. They are very goal focused and want to know what you are working on and involved in helping their clients achieve there goals. You know what stands out is their belief that you can live life without pain. And I'm a perfect example, in only 4-5 months now....But I noticed a difference 6-8 weeks in. And they're not there to break you down physically but to work on your weaker areas. Which is so important for all types of athletes. I think anyone can benefit from working with FF. As long as you are willing and able, any age, any kind of athlete. They are awesome! Much respect for what they do.
Connie Chevalier
I found Figurelle’s through a colleague who was looking exceptionally fit and self-confident. I wanted what she had! I have not been disappointed. My training has been injury-free and provided the results I am looking for; so I keep coming back! My talented and inspiring trainer, Stephanie, designed an individualized fitness plan for me that is challenging and rewarding and incorporates a variety of modalities to keep it fun. This is a family owned and operated business where I get the personal attention I’m looking for. It’s definitely one of the smartest choices I’ve made during the past year in promoting my overall health and well-being!!
Heidi Embley
I’ve worked with FF for a few years now. I was a member of another gym and knew that I needed something more if I was ever going to make any progress. While I workout regularly, I have a diet of an unsupervised 8-year-old, which obviously hinders my efforts to reach my desired BMI. I did my research and felt FF would be the best fit for me. They prioritize proper movements and focus on wellness, not just cardio or weights.
Now in my 40’s, I’m stronger than I’ve ever been. I also understand how butter noodles and grilled cheese may not be the best food staples for adults who are trying to get stronger and lose the baby weight. ;)
The team at FF cares about me as an individual and works to help me accomplish my own goals. I check in weekly, if not more, to share how my progress is going in my workouts, training plans, macro nutrition and any other fun “challenges” encouraged by FF, such as kindness or ways to give back to the community.
Thanks to FF, I’m no longer afraid to go on that hike or long bike ride with friends because I was scared I wouldn’t get through it. To me, that’s life changing!
At FF, I’m not just another paying client. I’m cared for and encouraged to be the best person I can be. What more can you ask for from a “gym” membership?
Allison Rogers
I have been working out with Figarelle's Fitness (FF) for over 12 years. They have been with me in the highs and lows of life and have always been an encouragement no matter the situation. I started in my early 40's and knew the importance of working out but over the 12 years I have gained so much knowledge of all areas of healthy living and been able to pass it on to my children. I have been able to push my body to do things I never imagined - had someone told me I would be trap bar lift 220 lbs at the age of 53 I would have told them they were crazy. I leave every workout empowered knowing I am doing something great for myself. The FF community is fantastic and you won't find the support and encouragement anywhere else. I could go on for a very long time on how much you will gain from the trainers. Thank you Steph, Lela and Charlene for ALWAYS being there. Love you 3!!
Sheila Borer
I've been working with Steph for a couple of months now and it has been wonderful! So much fun and the time flies. She customizes the gym workouts to accommodate my particular injuries and needs and we do outdoor sports regularly to keep things interesting. Highly recommended!
Bonnie Holmes
“I can’t do push-ups, never have, probably never will,” I said at my first bootcamp. It was summer in 2016. I was 6 weeks pregnant and terrified of how out-of-shape I was. I don’t remember exactly what Steph Figarelle said, but I certainly remember how quickly she reflected my fixed mindset. She kindly and lovingly called my bluff and I will never forget it, because to that I owe her (seriously) my life. Steph and Charlene and Lela encouraged, challenged and supported me every step of the way on my journey to that first, real, (not on my knees, chest-to-the-floor, glutes tight, back straight, arms-at-45-degrees, slow tempo) PUSH UP. Every time I set foot in that gym, I make a commitment to step outside of my comfort zone where I once thought I would always dwell and take myself to new levels of fitness. The trainers of Figarelle Fitness not only taught me the value of physical health, they transformed my mindset in ways that show up not only in my physique, but also in my thoughts and beliefs about myself, my life-work balance, my presence and connection to my family and this loving, supportive community of like-minded people who train with me. Now I don’t set unrealistic goals that feel like pipe dreams. Instead I evaluate my current habits, adjust via small, atomic-sized action steps that accumulate over time into a complete lifestyle transformation that looks and feels POWERFUL.
The Figarelles lead by example, with a focus on continuous growth in their personal and professional lives. They bring back what they learn from trainings and conferences into our workouts, host seminars on important topics like goal-setting and nutrition, encourage book-readings and sharing of ideas via meetups and email check-ins, texts or phone calls. Perhaps what I love most about Figarelle Fitness is that they never let anyone slip through the cracks. If you come, you WILL be noticed and respected and celebrated when you’re there, and you WILL be texted or emailed or phone called when you’re not. I was in the best shape of my life when I gave birth and it was the best feeling ever, but in the months that immediately followed I suffered from severe Post-Partum Anxiety and Depression. I started to fall back into my old mindset and beliefs and realized that I needed to get myself back to the gym. I received a text from Charlene “just checking in” and immediately called her back, sobbing from the break room at work after I literally had just spilled my milk. She gave me so much grace and empathy and encouragement. With Charlene’s help I got back to the gym and started the process of healing my body and strengthening my mind. Now it’s 2020 and I am still growing. The Spring 2019 Transformation Challenge led to new beginnings for my family, as my husband, Loren, joined Figarelle Fitness for the first time and completed not only his couch-to-5K goal but the Zombie Half Marathon last Fall. The physician who manages his cholesterol reflected “it doesn’t get any better than that” at his exam last week. He’s lost 30 pounds and is kicking butt every day, about to complete 50K at the Tour of Anchorage in March. Our entire family has a new focus on fitness and nutrition, making meal plans together and shopping for new sources or healthy protein. And our son, who turns 3 on Steph’s birthday, is growing up in a household where eating your veggies, turning off your t.v., learning via books, getting outside, and starting/ending your day with pull-ups and foam rolling are normalized activities.

I started training with Figarelle’s Fitness in 2013. At that time I was in good cardiovascular shape, but had no muscle tone (story of my life before finding FF!) I googled “Anchorage personal training”, and the rest is history! I’m so grateful to have found Steph, Lela, and Charlene!
More recently, work and life have evolved such that I’m regularly away from Anchorage. I’ve remained a FF client through a combination of online personal training, and, when I’m in town, attending small group training sessions. This has worked wonderfully for me. Online training keeps me on track, accountable, and progressing while I’m away. And I really enjoy catching up in person with the trainers, and the other awesome FF members, at small group.
FF has had an enormously positive impact on my physical and mental health. If you’re thinking about trying them out, just do it! You’ll be so glad you did.

I started going to FF when I was a kid and returned as an adult. They are amazing! I trust their knowledge about fitness and nutrition more than anyone else. Their attention to each clients personal goals and needs shows in customer results. Workouts are always fun and educational. 10/10 would recommend

I have been working out with Figarelle’s since 2013 i believe, in every capacity from Bootcamps, to personal training to online personal training, private competition training and small group training. I have learned more of about my body and what it’s capable of along with lifelong lessons about nutrition, recovery, mobility and grace than I could ever imagine. I have completely transformed my body multiple times in accordance with multiple goals with the help of these ladies. The sheer amount of realness and brutal honesty in their training methods along with their passion for all things fitness, body, mind and soul is beyond impressive and valuable. I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else.

After following Figarelle's Fitness online for a while I decided to join their online coaching program because I felt like I was spinning my wheels trying to do it alone. I am so glad I did! Steph and Lela are very knowledgeable and professional while still giving me the accountability and personalized attention I want. I know I can ask questions or get support and not feel silly. I am seeing real results and am so thankful I am working with them.

I started working out with Figarelle's Fitness in 2016. They work with you to accomplish the goals you set. Their level of expertise in health and fitness sets a high standard compared to other places I have worked with.

I have benefited so much joining FF! The Figarelle's have built a community for health and fitness education in the Anchorage area. Through them I have been able to set and meet many of my fitness goals and I feel empowered to continue to do this throughtout the rest of my life.

I've been doing online training since March 2020. Since then I've lost 30 lbs and 16 inches. I've improved my strength immensely. I'm now able to lift 30-50 lbs heavier. The trianers are very knowledgable and great communicators.

Best coaching I've ever received! Over the past couple of years I struggled in getting back into a workout routine, mainly not knowing what workouts to do that'll lead to significant gains. I found Figarelle’s in search to help establish a workout routine that was sustainable in helping me reach my goals. I met with Steph and she was amazing; she listened, motivated, planned my personalized workouts tailoring them towards my goals. What I didn't expect were life changing habits that have and will stick with me, from proper technique, nutrition and mobility exercises. Steph has a huge knowledge base on muscle systems and much more. I can get enough in learning about it all and what is happening to our body during specific exercises- she'd happily geekout on it! Working with Figarelle's has been a game changer and has led to great results!
