Four of Xponential’s brands – AKT, Pure Barre, Rumble, and YogaSix – will provide workouts for the “world’s first nearly invisible gym.” Xponential brand workouts will officially roll out with the latest edition of the MIRROR product, which launches this fall.

“We are very excited to partner with lululemon to bring the best in fitness right into the comfort of one’s home,” said Garrett Marshall, President of Fitness Streaming for Xponential Fitness. “With the combination of lululemon’s community-oriented ethos and MIRROR’s elegant and approachable delivery platform, this partnership was an optimal fit with our desire to make great class workouts available to everyone, anywhere. The MIRROR has developed a strong community amongst its members, and we are thrilled to be able to share the power of the Xponential Fitness experience with its membership in addition to our own thriving global membership base.”

Xponential Fitness’ partnership with lululemon and the MIRROR is anticipated to bring even greater awareness to the Company’s brands and further strengthen its omni channel offering of virtual and in-person classes. This partnership also follows the Company’s recent launch of the Xponential+ (XPLUS) digital platform, which provides live and on-demand access to the same sought-after workouts offered in thousands of studio locations around the globe. With a strong studio and digital presence across 10 fitness modalities, along with a robust team of world-class XPLUS instructors known as XPROs, Xponential is very well positioned to work alongside lululemon to create cutting-edge programming on the MIRROR. Under the agreement, Xponential will provide a curated set of programming developed by each brand (AKT, Pure Barre, Rumble, and YogaSix) with new releases each quarter over the next year, extensively expanding the breadth of the MIRROR’s library of best-in-class digital fitness across multiple fitness modalities.
