Gymshark sportswear

Gymshark is a prominent British fitness apparel and accessories brand. Founded in 2012 by Ben Francis and Lewis Morgan in Solihull, England, it grew from a garage screen-printing operation into a global athletic wear powerhouse. The brand is known for its community-driven marketing and strong social media presence.

While the brand is headquartered in the United Kingdom, its manufacturing is decentralized. Gymshark products are primarily manufactured in several countries across Asia and Europe, including China, Vietnam, Turkey, and Cambodia, to support its global distribution network.

In 2020, the brand reached 'unicorn' status after a major investment from General Atlantic, which acquired a minority stake. Ben Francis remains the majority owner and CEO, steering the company through its expansion into brick-and-mortar retail and digital fitness services.
