Luxury Fitness Retail Design | Potência Leblon Case Study

Potência Leblon was conceived as a fully integrated lifestyle and wellness experience spanning brand identity, packaging, digital touchpoints, retail, and studio-led service.

The ambition was to create an environment that makes people feel something the moment they step inside. Confident, energised, present, and part of something considered. Every element was designed to work together to shape how the experience is felt, remembered, and returned to.

At its core, Potência Leblon operates as a sensorial, movement-led destination. Jewellery, scent, fashion, and physical intensity sit within one coherent world, shaped by Brazilian heritage and Lisbon’s creative energy. The experience balances rhythm and control, emotion and discipline, ritual and performance.

The physical environment is central to this.

The retail space sets tone and presence. Materiality, lighting, and spatial flow are used to create a sense of calm confidence. An environment that feels composed, elevated, and inviting. Product is curated with editorial intent, supporting discovery while reinforcing trust and desirability.

The studio brings energy into the space. Movement-led sessions introduce momentum, focus, and community. The transition between retail and studio feels natural and fluid, encouraging repeat visits, familiarity, and routine. Over time, this builds a sense of belonging.


Packaging extends the emotional experience beyond the space. Each piece is designed to feel purposeful in-store and resonant at home, acting as a tactile reminder of how the environment made the customer feel. Digital touchpoints support the same journey, enabling discovery, booking, and continuity while maintaining consistency in tone and confidence.

What defines Potência Leblon is the consistency of feeling across every touchpoint.

From arrival to participation to return, customers experience the brand as one continuous journey. That consistency creates confidence. Confidence creates emotional connection. Emotional connection strengthens loyalty and long-term engagement.

This coherence is underpinned by strong strategic foundations.

A clear understanding of the customer, their lifestyle, and their emotional drivers shaped how the experience was designed and how it performs over time. Strategy provided the structure that allowed environment, service, and brand expression to work together with intention and clarity.


As we look ahead to 2026, Potência Leblon reflects a broader truth for lifestyle and wellness brands.

Highly experiential environments shape how people feel about themselves. When designed with care, they create confidence, connection, and momentum. In doing so, they form a powerful foundation for sustainable brand performance.

Consistency builds trust. Trust builds loyalty. Loyalty builds enduring brands.
