For activewear brands

Subscription Platform for Activewear & Leggings Brands

Activewear and leggings are a natural fit for subscriptions — high repeat purchase, seasonal rotation (winter weights vs summer weights), training-partner matching, and size-sensitive variants that break generic subscription platforms.

Dough Dog handles seasonal rotating Selections, Group subscriptions for training partners and couples, variant-level inventory at pre-charge, and add-ons that upsell a matching top or second legging into the next shipment. 1% of subscription revenue + 19¢ per transaction. No monthly fee. Launch in under 12 hours.

Why activewear breaks generic tools
Dough Dog
A different cut next cycle, a new color, a matching top, the workout partner on the same plan in a different size, winter weights in November — each is a native primitive.
Generic platforms
Default to “subscribe to these leggings, get them again in 60 days.” That’s not how activewear is worn or re-bought — catalogs rotate seasonally, customers buy in sets, and sizes vary across fits.

They optimize for reordering. We optimize for anticipation.

How it works

Built for activewear

1. Seasonal rotating Selections

Winter fleece vs summer mesh flagged in the catalog — subscribers rotate seasonally without re-signing up.

2. Group subscriptions (partners, couples)

Training partners or couples on the same plan — same pattern or colorway, different sizes, shipped together.

3. Variant-level inventory assignment

Every pick validates the exact size × fit × color against live stock before the charge fires.

4. Replenishment + rotation in one program

Basics (sports bras, plain leggings) on replenishment; novelty and print pieces on rotation — one subscriber, one record.

5. Add-ons + preferences

Add a bra, second legging, or matching hoodie to the next shipment. Fit, length, material, and color family are set once and used every cycle.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about activewear subscriptions.

Does this work for print leggings and solid basics in the same catalog?

Yes. Subscribers can hold a basics replenishment plan and a rotating print plan at the same time, under one billing record.

Can I run training-partner matching?

Yes — Group subscriptions. Same colorway, different sizes, shipped together or split-ship to different addresses.

What about seasonal transitions between weights?

Configurable. Flag winter vs summer SKUs in the catalog; the Selection algorithm respects the calendar, or the subscriber can opt in.

How is an activewear subscription priced?

1% of subscription revenue + 19¢ per transaction. No monthly fee.
