Book a Staj with Millie and Taylor.

Shadow the founders of Stakt, Millie and Taylor, as they adapted to working out from home to develop a new yoga mat to support their new fitness regimens. Learn how Stakt was born out of a love for sweating and a need for adaptation and they needed a fitness brand that could keep up.

  • Unable to find what they were looking for, the Co-Founders and friends set out to invent the solution themselves to fix the at-home fitness industry.

    Following a lengthy process of research & design, they created Stakt: the first patent pending stackable fitness mat that features a unique, foldable design for greater support, flexibility and mobility as you move. Lightweight and highly compact, Stakt unlocks a new level of versatility and potential, whether you’re flowing through slow burn vinyasas or prefer heart-pumping tabata sessions. Fold your Stakt once or twice for extra cushion for your joints. Fold it up completely, and your mat transforms into a block that can be used for tricep dips, planks, push ups, lunges and more.

Reviews

“It was a great experience getting to Staj Millie, one of the co-founders of Stakt. I started following the brand when they were on Shark Tank a few years ago and getting to spend an afternoon with her was exciting and I'm so glad that I had the opportunity through Staj to do it right before their second product launched. For anyone that is considering starting their own business or innovating in an industry, learning from Millie (and Taylor) should be at the top of your list. I was able to ask questions, provide feedback on new concepts, and share some perspective from a consumer as well as learn from them.
