Launch into action

An unassuming pop-up at STACKT Market has been turned into a buzzing hub for fitness enthusiasts and active go-getters.

Check out the new collection here.

Dive into the buzz

The first fitness class was an exciting collaboration with Karen Michelle Moreira, the award-winning personal trainer behind Stronger With KM, known for her friendly approach and burn-inducing moves. The inaugural HIIT workout was the perfect blend of motivational and accessible. Only yoga mats and resistance bands were required, which made for a full-body sculpt that could easily be repeated anywhere. Bonus: all equipment was provided on-site for a hands-free commute.

Things kicked off with a dance party, which progressed into a range of low-impact exercises that targeted every part of the body. KM offers modifications for every move, and sprinkles in holistic tips and personal stories to keep you engaged. With pumping music and participants cheering throughout, the energy is electric, so you feel ultra-inspired and uplifted. In addition to HIIT and yoga, you can also sign up for dance classes to learn coordinated moves that will make you feel like you’re at a super-fun club (but forget the next-day hangover).

KM also runs calming meditation and sound vibration sessions, so you can clear your mind and find Zen after a hectic day. Plus, adorable pups in puppy yoga classes are happy to offer a cuddly distraction. All you need to bring is a water bottle, so you’re free to explore the rest of the market afterward. (There are plenty of nearby boutiques to shop, as well as cafes for a post-workout latte.)

Don’t miss your chance to try on Forward With Design latest pieces—featuring super-soft materials and trend-focused silhouettes, they can be easily dressed up or down depending on your destination.
