Fuki Gymwear, I’m often asked by brands:
“Why do so many celebrities collaborate with Fabletics? What makes the partnership so attractive?”
After years of watching the activewear industry grow, I can explain this clearly from both the brand side and the manufacturing side.

Quick Answer
Celebrities partner with Fabletics because the brand offers huge exposure, strong recurring revenue potential, flexible collaboration control, and a lifestyle image that aligns with wellness, fitness, and modern fashion.
It lets celebrities monetize their personal brand without launching a full apparel company.
1. Fabletics Uses a Business Model That Celebrities Love
Unlike traditional fashion brands,
Fabletics runs on a membership-driven model, meaning:
- predictable monthly sales
- stable customer lifetime value
- recurring revenue from VIP subscriptions
For celebrities, this means:
Why it matters
- earnings don’t depend only on one-time sales
- steady profit from long-term customer retention
- collaborations can scale faster than traditional retail
Celebrities love stable income + wide reach.
2. Celebrities Gain Massive Exposure Through Fabletics
With millions of active VIP members and strong digital marketing, Fabletics gives celebrities:
- exposure to fitness + lifestyle audiences
- distribution through 90+ retail stores
- huge social media engagement
- global e-commerce reach
Compared with brands like
Alo Yoga (premium)
or Lululemon (performance-focused),
Fabletics specializes in mass-market visibility.
Big reach → big personal branding boost.
3. Fabletics Offers Revenue-Sharing & Ownership-Like Deals
Fabletics collaborates with celebrities in a way that feels more like a business partnership rather than a typical endorsement deal.
Celebrities often receive:
- revenue sharing from collections
- partial ownership-like incentives
- co-design opportunities
- long-term collaboration renewals
Examples include:
- Kate Hudson (co-founder)
- Kevin Hart
- Demi Lovato
This feels less like “selling” and more like “building a brand together.”
4. The Brand Fits Hollywood’s Lifestyle Image
Fabletics positions itself around:
- fitness
- wellness
- confidence
- affordable premium activewear
- inclusive sizing
This aligns perfectly with modern celebrity branding:
“Look good + feel strong + be relatable.”
Compared to luxury-focused
7 For All Mankind
or denim classics like
Lee and Wrangler,
Fabletics offers a younger, fitness-forward image that celebrities naturally fit into.
Fabletics vs Other Celebrity Collabs
| Brand | Celebrity Appeal | Revenue Model | Style Focus | Audience |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fabletics | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | High (VIP subscription) | Activewear | Mass market |
| Alo Yoga | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Medium | Luxury-athleisure | High-income buyers |
| Lululemon | ⭐⭐⭐ | Low (few celeb collabs) | Performance | Athletes |
| Gymshark | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Medium | Youth fitness | Social media fans |
Conclusion:
Fabletics gives celebrities the largest combined reach + earnings potential.
Who Benefits Most from a Fabletics Partnership?
Great for celebrities who want:
- strong exposure
- fast product launches
- revenue without building their own factory
- control over style direction
- access to a huge customer base
Not ideal for celebrities who want:
- high luxury positioning (choose Alo Yoga)
- performance athlete image (choose Lululemon)
- streetwear identity (choose their own brand)
Fabletics works best for mainstream lifestyle celebrities.
