Meet the founders
Our journey began at Equinox in Bethesda, Maryland, where we each nurtured our passion for wellness—Alexis as a Membership Advisor and Ibn as a Massage Therapist. Our time there deepened our understanding of fitness as a holistic commitment that encompasses high-quality clothing, premium self-care, curated nutrition, and effective fitness regimens. This belief has fueled our pursuit of a purpose that transcends mere fitness.
Through our experiences in the wellness industry, we encountered numerous shortcomings—many renowned luxury fitness brands fall short of our expectations for quality and environmental impact. Extensive travel highlighted these gaps, as we faced the discomfort of flaws such as pilling leggings and inadequate odor protection. This led us to the realization that we weren’t just looking to refine the existing standards but to revolutionize the space by merging the needs of our planet with our personal well-being. We are creating the new standard in activewear.
We are dedicated to inspiring a lifestyle that empowers individuals to look and feel their best while positively impacting the world around them. True wellness, to us, means taking care of both our bodies and the environment. This vision has been carefully crafted over the past five years, from sourcing cutting-edge innovations to ensuring that our vendors and partners meet our rigorous sustainability and ethical standards. We have faced numerous setbacks and delays along the way, but each challenge has only strengthened our resolve and determination.
Looking ahead, we are excited to expand our Atlas collection with over a dozen new pieces planned for 2025. We are so excited to share the first chapter of MNÓS with you.
