Our Story

How FloBody Began — and Why It Exists

FloBody didn’t start as a brand.
It started as a question.

Why did getting stronger feel so complicated?
Why did so many workouts leave people exhausted, injured, or discouraged instead of empowered?
And why did “doing the right thing” for your body feel so hard to sustain?

For Janie Kokakis and Anthony Kokakis, those questions weren’t theoretical.
They were personal.

Like so many others, life changed — priorities shifted, time became limited, energy became precious. Traditional gyms felt intimidating. Studio classes were expensive and rigid. At-home workouts were either too random or too extreme to stick with.

And yet the desire remained the same:

To feel strong.
To feel capable.
To feel good in your body again.

Not for a season — but for life.


From Frustration to Intention

Instead of accepting the idea that fitness had to be punishing to be effective, Janie and Anthony chose a different path.

They believed movement should support your body, not fight it.
That consistency mattered more than intensity.
That the best workout is the one you’ll actually come back to.

So they didn’t set out to create another program.

They set out to create a system.

A system that removed barriers.
A system that felt approachable instead of intimidating.
A system designed for real people, real bodies, and real schedules.

That belief became the foundation of The FloBody Gym.


Designing a Smarter Way to Move

The FloBody Gym was engineered to combine the best of Pilates-inspired movement with modern, real-life convenience.

Compact. Portable. Thoughtfully designed.

A patented mat-and-bar system that supports low-impact, joint-friendly movement — yet delivers real strength, tone, and control when used consistently.

Paired with guided flows inside the FloBody app, it removes the confusion that causes most people to quit:

  • No guessing what to do

  • No worrying if you’re “doing it right”

  • No pressure to push through pain

Just intentional movement, guided step by step.

Because strength doesn’t come from pushing harder.
It comes from showing up — again and again.


Built for Real Life — Not Fitness Culture

FloBody was never meant to serve “fitness culture.”

It was built for the woman who:

  • Has tried programs before and felt unseen

  • Wants results without burnout or injury

  • Needs structure, not motivation speeches

  • Wants to feel strong now, not someday

Whether you’re rebuilding after kids, injury, stress, or simply years of putting yourself last — FloBody meets you where you are.

No mirrors.
No judgment.
No unrealistic expectations.

Just a calm, supportive way to reconnect with your body.


What We Believe

At FloBody, we believe:

  • Fitness should make you feel better, not worse

  • Movement should adapt to your life — not demand more from it

  • Strength is built through consistency, not extremes

  • Real transformation happens when your body feels safe enough to change

That belief shapes everything we create — from the product design to the workouts, to the community we build.


Our Promise to You
