Experiential Marketing Through Wellness

We turn movement into product discovery.

The Mat Club is an Atlanta Pilates studio and experiential marketing partner. We build sold-out wellness activations that put your product in people's hands, drive foot traffic through your doors, and end in content, community and conversion.

What We Deliver

Three reasons brands keep coming back.

01

Community Access

A warm, already-assembled Atlanta audience — style-conscious, wellness-driven, and predisposed to try what we put in front of them. You don't rent a list; you're welcomed into a room that already trusts us.

  • Loyal studio membership
  • Founder-led audience of 812K+
  • Every event sells out

02

Immersive Experiences

We produce the whole moment — studio, showroom, retail floor or rooftop. Movement is the entry point; your product is woven into the mat, the gifting, the after-class ritual, the room itself.

  • Full concept & production
  • Venue transformation
  • Curated partner ecosystem

03

Content & Conversion

Guests leave with your product in hand and your brand on their feed. Activations are built to end in an action: a shade match, a showroom walk-through, a purchase, a membership sign-up.

  • Organic guest content
  • Direct in-store pathways
  • Post-event email follow-up

Case Studies

Four brands, four objectives.

Every activation starts with a business goal — launch a product, fill a showroom, reach a new audience, convert in-store. Here's how each one played out.

Fenty Beauty2026

Bloom & Balance

Objective — Product discovery & in-store traffic

A launch-day wellness experience where beauty met movement. The Mat Club hosted two sold-out Pilates classes for 80 guests, with newly launched Fenty Beauty products waiting on every mat. After class, attendees were invited to the Fenty Beauty store for complimentary foundation shade matching — a seamless journey from product discovery to in-store engagement. Matcha from The Matcha Market, pizza from NiteOwl Kitchen & Cocktails, orchids from The Blossom Effect, and THC beverages from 9 Dot THC Company brought the “Bloom & Balance” theme to life through movement, beauty, community, and intentional self-care.

Activation Highlights

  • 80 attendees across two sold-out Pilates classes
  • Same-day product sampling tied to Fenty Beauty’s foundation launch
  • Branded product bags placed on every mat
  • Direct pathway from the activation to an in-store shade-matching experience
  • Four complementary food, beverage & lifestyle partners

Maserati and Mats

Objective — Showroom foot traffic & qualified leads

The experience extended beyond movement with curated gift bags, refreshments, raffles, complimentary cosmetic treatments from Charette Cosmetics, and membership giveaways from The Mat Club. Maserati gained meaningful foot traffic, direct access to qualified prospective customers, post-event email engagement, and social exposure through The Mat Club’s platforms and founder Halani Lobdell’s audience of more than 800,000 followers.

Activation Highlights

  • 80 attendees introduced to the Maserati dealership

Real Men Do Pilates

Objective — New audience reach & brand affinity

The Mat Club challenged traditional ideas about who Pilates is for with a men-focused wellness experience attended by more than 45 participants. Hosted at The Mat Club studio in partnership with Lululemon and Chop Shop, the activation created an inviting space for men to experience Pilates together while connecting movement, community, and personal style. Lululemon brought the partnership to life through curated products, participant gift bags, and an on-site brand ambassador. Attendees amplified the experience by sharing their workouts across social media, generating authentic conversation and visibility around men embracing Pilates and wellness.

Activation Highlights

  • 45+ attendees, primarily men
  • Lululemon products and curated participant gift bags
  • On-site engagement with a Lululemon ambassador
  • Organic social sharing and community-generated content

The Mat Club at Fabletics

Objective — Retail conversion & membership sign-ups

The Mat Club brought 35–40 wellness-focused consumers into Fabletics' Lenox retail store for a private movement and shopping experience. Guests received wellness shots before participating in a 45-minute Pilates class surrounded by Fabletics products, transforming the store into an immersive fitness environment. Following the class, attendees enjoyed 40 minutes of exclusive shopping, special discounts, product demonstrations, and personalized styling from Fabletics associates. The activation generated immediate purchases, new Fabletics membership sign-ups, social content, and exposure to new customers. Its success led Fabletics and The Mat Club to activate together for a second event.

  • 35–40 attendees introduced to the Lenox retail location
  • 45-minute in-store Pilates experience
  • 40-minute exclusive shopping window
  • Special discounts, styling, and product education

The Process

How we activate

Concept to conversion, produced end to end — you show up with product, we handle the room.

01

Brief & Objective

We start with the business goal — a launch, a store opening, a new audience — and shape the activation around it, not the other way around.

02

Concept & Curation

Theme, venue, programming, gifting and partner ecosystem. Every touchpoint is chosen to carry your product naturally.

03

Fill the Room

Our community and founder platform drive registration. Events sell out, and the room is the right room.

04

Activate & Convert

On the day we run movement, brand engagement, content capture and a clear next step — in-store, on-site, or online.

05

Follow Through

Post-event email, organic guest recaps, and a shared recap of what the activation delivered for your brand.

The Platform

Halani Lobdell & The Mat Club

Halani Lobdell is the founder of The Mat Club and a results-driven fitness expert known for transforming bodies through intentional movement and disciplined training. With a background in Fire Rescue — where she retired as a Battalion Chief — and years of experience in the fitness industry, she brings structure, precision, and purpose into every workout.

Specializing in glute development, sculpting, and high-intensity Pilates, Halani has built a reputation for delivering workouts that are both effective and elevated. Her method blends strength, control, and endurance — creating a signature experience that challenges the body while refining movement. What began as a class became a venue brands return to: a light-filled Atlanta studio designed to be transformed, and a community that shows up for the workout, for each other, and for the brands that become part of the experience.

Her audience and the studio's reach combine for more than 812,000 followers, giving partners a founder-led voice behind every activation — before, during and long after the day itself.
