About Us
Born in the Studio. Built for Community.
This brand started with one simple observation: when people feel good in what they wear, they show up stronger—not just in class, but in life.
Our founder, Meredith Evangelisti, has spent years leading workouts, coaching clients, and building fitness communities around the world. Trained in advanced hot yoga techniques, she’s taught across the U.S., Europe, Asia, and Central America. With backgrounds in management, personal training, and sports nutrition, Meredith blends expertise with an energy that inspires confidence and connection.
Meredith’s Story
Meredith isn’t just a trainer; she’s a community builder. As Lifetime Fitness’ exclusive lead for Hot 26, she taught set sequence methodology before creating her own signature program, Yoga Sculpt—a high-intensity, music-driven fusion of vinyasa yoga and strength training. Her classes were never just about breaking a sweat—they were about creating a space where people felt supported, seen, and proud to belong.
That sense of pride sparked an idea: what if studios had apparel that carried their brand beyond the four walls of the studio? What if the gear people wore every day could connect them back to the community they loved?
From that vision, Hotdrop was born.
More Than Apparel
Every piece is designed with performance, comfort, and style in mind—but what makes it truly special is what we add next: your brand, your story, your community. Whether it’s custom collections for a studio or retail staples anyone can wear, Meredith’s mission is the same:
To create apparel that celebrates movement, builds confidence, and strengthens the communities that make fitness more than just a workout.
