Our take
Gymshark was founded to provide the best fitness and gym clothing, helping to unite the conditioning community. It's driven to producing innovative and effective performance wear, as well as growing an ever-expanding social media presence.
Its clothing and accessories help people to unlock their full potential and realise their goals in line with Gymshark's vision: 'before there is an action, there is an idea'. The online store offers everything from shorts and sports bras to resistance bands and water bottles.
With a broad range of brand ambassadors - including Steve Cook, Nikki Blackketter, and Matt Ogus - Gymshark is a leader in influencer marketing in the digital space, with a physical store opening on London's Regent Street in October 2022.
Gymshark is now one of the world's fastest-growing and most recognisable fitness brands, supported by millions on social media, and with customers in hundreds of companies. Its founder was named the UK's youngest billionaire by Forbes in 2023.
