Gymshark Performance Apparel

Gymshark is a prominent British fitness apparel and accessories brand, founded in 2012 by Ben Francis and Lewis Morgan in Solihull, United Kingdom. Originally starting as a screen-printing operation in a garage, it has grown into a global powerhouse within the fitness industry, known for its strong community-driven social media presence and high-performance gym wear.

While the brand's design and headquarters remain firmly rooted in Solihull, England, Gymshark utilizes a global supply chain for manufacturing. The majority of its production takes place in Southeast Asia, including countries like Vietnam, Cambodia, and Sri Lanka to leverage specialized garment manufacturing infrastructure. In 2020, the brand achieved 'unicorn' status after a significant investment from American private equity firm General Atlantic, which holds a minority stake, while founder Ben Francis remains the majority shareholder and CEO.
