What lululemon contributes
lululemon is an athletic apparel company 1.
Co-branded apparel is sold in Peloton stores and online from 11 1 October 2023 1.
The new company
Name idea
Working name: Studio Thread. An independent studio-apparel company with its own classes, not a Peloton or lululemon product.
Product
A fitness studio brand that sells its own apparel in the studio and streams its own instructor-led classes, so clothing and content come from a single company 1.
Customer
Members who take classes at home and buy training clothes from the same community.
How it makes money
Sell apparel at the studio and online, and let the class library sell the clothing, the loop the partners run with co-branded apparel in Peloton stores and online 1.
Breed your own company
Each parent passes down four traits. The child takes every trait from one parent or the other, and sometimes one trait mutates into a random idea. The same link always shows the same child.
Traits Peloton can pass down
- Customer
- People who want connected fitness equipment paired with instructor-led classes at home 1.
- Product
- A connected exercise machine paired with a streaming library of instructor-led classes 1.
- How it makes money
- Earns money by selling connected fitness equipment and instructor-led digital classes to members 1.
- Why it is hard to copy

Traits lululemon can pass down
- Customer
- Shoppers who want stretchy athletic apparel designed for workouts and daily movement 1.
- Product
- An athletic apparel line sold both on its own and through co-branded partnerships 1.
- How it makes money
- Earns money by selling athletic apparel through its own channels and through a fitness partner's stores 1.
- Why it is hard to copy
- Hard to copy because its apparel already reaches a fitness equipment company's members through joint weekend events 2.
