GET THE BLOGILATES HOME GYM COLLECTION AT TARGET:
Exactly one year ago, I was sitting in a board room – heart racing, palms sweating, slightly delirious – waiting. Sam and I had just gotten off an international flight from Thailand, landed at LAX, and then boarded another flight to Minneapolis for one of the most important meetings of our lives.
I sat there nervously for the sporting goods buyer from one of the biggest retailers in the US to walk into the room and hopefully not hate the designs I was about to show him. I heard he was a REALLY tough one.
It seemed like forever that I was sitting there, waiting and waiting…but then, the door swung open. As soon as he walked in, I launched full force into presentation mode! I showed him how our vegan suede yoga mats got grippier as our hands got sweatier. I showed him how our fit journals have helped you guys achieve your goals! I felt like if I could JUST get him to not look down at his laptop for the duration of the presentation, then maybe I had a chance!
Afterwards, Sam and I weren’t sure what to think. No purchase order was made. But he did ask a lot of questions. A good sign…right? We had no clue. This was only the second time in our life when we tried pitching a retailer. The first time was when we first started making yoga bags over 10 years ago, and that other retailer had totally passed on us. So we never really tried again, and instead put all our efforts into building our own ecommerce site.
The next day we flew back home, didn’t tell anyone about our meeting, didn’t get our hopes up, and just resumed normal life…until the definition of normal changed a few months later.
I remember the toilet paper shortages, the hand sanitizer price surges, and the whole world just coming to a halt. And in the midst of all…was when we got the call.
TARGET WAS GOING TO ORDER 13 OF MY DESIGNS AND STOCK ALL THE TARGETS IN THE US WITH BLOGILATES PRODUCTS.
UHHHHHHHHHHH. WHAT.
We went into full production mode and designed, sampled, tested, and WORKED LIKE CRAZY to pull this collection together for a December 27th launch. At times, it felt nearly impossible to achieve the quality I wanted, at an affordable Target price point, in the timeline we were given, with factory shutdowns and port delays. But…I seem to live a life that thrives off of challenges. Problems always push me to the brink of my creativity.
Well guys…I just went to Target and umm, I think it is safe for me to get excited now…right?
cuz…

Next year we need a blogilates fitness clothing line at Target! I know you would makes some cute sportswear!
I’m so proud of you Cassey 😭😭😭😭 idk why but im tearful as im typing this lmao 😭😭✨✨✨
this was so beautiful omigosh!
Are you going to do heavier weights too?
We don't even have target at Mexico but I still now what a big deal this is, congrats. It is a testiment to how hard you work and your light shining through everything you do and how you make us feel 💜💜💜
That is sooo true fitness equipment everywhere is so boringgg.
In my country(india) i've never seen any collection like yours.
I couldn't even find a sipper bottle like yours tbhhh.😑😑😑
I really need your yoga mat and bottle 😭😭😭
Wow you are actually amazing at designing products
I love the dumbbells but they broke 😭
Congrat… Can we odered from canada??? I will love it in my gym equipment…..
I teared up seeing how far you got Blogilates to this point. Congrats! Also wanna mentioned that Target price is a bit too high for me, was interested in the weights, but they are $15 for one for the 3lb. They are really pretty, but I think it's a bit too much for just one weight.
I want these dumbbells in my life!!! They are so pretty 😍
Please sell them at your popflex activity website so that I can ship them to India 🇮🇳
I'm only seeing the dumbbells available on target.com. Was the rest of the collection dropped? Or just out of stock for now?
Is there going to be a restock?!
I really hope she does another line at Target because I was unable to get my hands on any of this stuff and it is all so beautiful!!!!
