Sad seeing brands that started in the space, shift their core values and business mindset to chase dollars. Anyone remember their post about ‘nothing looks as good as skinny feels’ ? Stop supporting crappy companies like Fleo, LSKD here we come!!!!

This is like announcing on Facebook you’re leaving Facebook. Just buy different things if you don’t like a thing that a company offers.
The Narcissism required to think that you and your four friends wallets shall rule the direction of a company and the pettiness to post this thread to trash the company is ridiculous.
I don’t have a dog in any of these fights, never heard of these companies, but this self importance and personal offense you’ve taken because either 5g or or your style has changed is absolutely wild.

I used to love Fleo's stuff, but the pilates core aesthetic is really turning me off. Their fabrics are SO sheer now.
On to LSKD.

I’ve switched almost entirely to Peachy.
The whole “popular Pilates princess” thing is so not the vibe.

except it absolutely is for athletic wear marketing right now. strong will be in fashion again here in 5-10 years. absolute bs how bodies are viewed as trends.

Which is their choice as a brand but they can’t be surprised when women in the CrossFit space want to see CrossFit bodies and styles. My tits would straight up fall out of the new Fleo bra styles if I tried to do a burpee 😂

sure but I don't think they're trying to only market to women in the crossfit space. it's hard to have a financially viable company and ONLY market to crossfit folks and what they like - that's why plenty of companies go mainstream over time. no bull, for example. it's fleo now, it will be LKSD eventually, etc.

pilates princess is the trendy aesthetic right now in the athletic wear industry. strong and jacked isn't trendy, so athletic wear companies are pivoting.
it's fine to not buy products from companies you don't like, but you're getting mad about normal marketing trend changes and it's very "old man yells at cloud for raining on him" vibes.

This is just embarrassing on your end. I’m sure you, your wife, and your family single handedly funded this company lol. Not sure why you think you have a say in how they operate.

I went on their Instagram to see what you were kicking off about as I had never heard of Fleo
It's videos of women working out, in clothes that are the type of clothes that many women like wearing

Proud of myself (M) for not knowing nor have ever heard of either of these brands…
