tHE TEAM
The FB Curves 3D Gym project began in 2011. After many years of dedication, research, development, and creative work, the project became a reality in January 2017. Since then, our focus has been on designing and developing innovative programs that expand learning opportunities within our sport.
Driven by a commitment to improve understanding, visualisation, analysis and knowledge, we aim to deliver world-class educational resources that support athletes, coaches, judges, and organisations at every level of performance.
The adventure continues...
The team
Fabien Bougas
CEO FOUNDER
As a former high-level gymnast and coach, I initially qualified in sports science, which led me to work in the field of biomechanics, analysing movement and performance. Alongside this, I developed a strong passion for graphics and 3D animation, eventually qualifying in this area as well. Bringing these two disciplines together was the foundation for the creation of the 3D Gym project.
Driven by a deep passion for gymnastics, my goal is to use these advanced digital tools to make our sport more attractive, accessible, and easier to understand. I believe that 3D technology has the potential to increase the popularity of gymnastics, enhance media coverage, and help position our sport where it truly belongs on the global stage.
Kris Horrigan BSC (HONS)
CEO Co-Founder
A former international gymnast, Kris represented Wales in Men’s Artistic Gymnastics and graduated from the University of Wales Institute Cardiff with an Honours Degree in Sport and Physical Education.
Following a career in both the sports and entertainment industries, Kris went on to train in business and accountancy. He is now proud to serve as CEO of FB Curves 3D Gym Ltd, combining sporting expertise with strategic and commercial leadership.
Kris was a member of the expert panel for Welsh Gymnastics during the Commonwealth Games cycle leading up to Birmingham 2022 and currently sits on the Board of Directors and serves as Honorary Treasurer of the Welsh Sports Hall of Fame.
Driven by a lifelong passion for gymnastics, Kris believes that the 3D Gym project can help lead the sport into a new era — making it more attractive, more accessible, and easier to understand for everyone with an interest in this rapidly growing discipline.

The history
FB-Curves 3D Gym is a long history of dedecation, creation and production.
It is a project that has evolved over a number of years and will continue to evolve in the years to come with many elements to the project in production.
FB Curves 3D Gym – Project Timeline
2011
After working in the video game and advertising industries, Fabien Bougas decided to combine his two passions — gymnastics and 3D technology — to create the first 3D Gym prototype. This marked the birth of the project.
2012
The core ideas were developed and the initial structure of the project was defined. Extensive groundwork was required to turn the concept into a viable product.
2013
The project continued to progress steadily, with concepts evolving and technical ideas being refined.
2014
Fabien created a second prototype incorporating a 3D engine that allowed full rotation around the virtual gymnast. Fifty elements were produced and tested within this new interactive system, marking the start of structured production.
2015
Over 400 gymnastic elements were created in 3D. Research and development began on the application architecture and website platform.
2016
An innovative idea, but a costly one to implement. Having reached 75% of the production of the 3D Gym Men application, Fabien no longer had the budget or time to continue investing in the project, and the search for investors was proving difficult. He decided to launch a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo:

The campaign was unsuccessful, but Fabien reconnected with his friend Kris Horrigan, who expressed a strong interest in joining the adventure.
2017
A breakthrough year. The project attracted private investors who believed in the concept, allowing full production to resume. A complete team of web designers, app developers, graphic designers, artistic creators, and financial advisors was assembled.
Fabien and Kris officially founded and registered FB Curves 3D Gym Ltd. The free version of the app was released and showcased at numerous gymnastics events and competitions, making 2017 a landmark year for the project.
2018
Gymnova was announced as an official partner. The full version of the Men’s Artistic Gymnastics app was completed, and development of the Women’s Artistic Gymnastics app began.
2019
The Women’s app progressed significantly, with the free version released early in the year and the full version launched later. Partnerships and collaborations expanded, and development of the WAG deduction video library commenced.
2020
The full Women’s app was updated and released, and the WAG deduction video library went live for subscribers. A new version of the Men’s app was also released, featuring additional functionality and a more user-friendly interface.
Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the project was selected for use at the planned WAG European Championships hosted by the French Gymnastics Federation — a partnership that continues to grow.
2021
With gyms closed and competitions cancelled due to the pandemic, the team focused on preparing the next major app update and aligning content with the 2022–2024 Code of Points.
FB Curves 3D Gym also became an official partner of Milano Pro Sport, a leading international leotard manufacturer.
2022
As training and competition resumed, the apps were fully updated for the 2022–2024 Code of Points. Over 30 new deduction videos were added, alongside four major app updates, including new Milano avatars.
3D Gym animations were used at the FIG World Cup in Paris, during judging instruction at the World Championships, and the project was presented at the 29th European Gymnastics Congress in Portugal. Planning for new features and expansion into additional disciplines began.
2023
With a return to full event schedules, the team focused on expanding the technology into a new discipline. Development of 3D Trampoline officially began, alongside a new partnership with Eurotramp.
Gymnastics apps continued to evolve with the introduction of the D-score calculator and an enhanced interactive quiz system. 3D Gym was present at numerous national, European, and World Championship events and was presented at the European Gymnastics Congress in Sofia, Bulgaria.
2024
A major production year with the full release of the 3D Trampoline app across mobile, tablet, and web platforms. The app was successfully used at the Cottbus World Cup Trampoline event in Germany.
Research and development began for significant gymnastics app updates aligned with the upcoming Code of Points. 3D Gym was also used for judges’ instruction ahead of the Paris Olympic Games — a significant honour. New partnerships were established with Gymnova, PAGU, and British Gymnastics.
2025
A year focused heavily on research and development. A major upgrade of the Women’s app was launched, introducing a personalised training diary and enhanced athlete experience.
3D Gym continued its presence at major events, including World Cups, national championships, and the Pan American Games, further expanding the reach and impact of the project across the global gymnastics community. Present at the European Gymnastics Congress in Prauge, the year was completed with positive encounters and exciting discussions to take us into the new year!
