Gymshark is a British athletic apparel and accessories brand, headquartered in Solihull, England. Ben Francis and Lewis Morgan founded the company in June 2012. Starting from a garage, they used a sewing machine and screen printer to create garments. Gymshark has grown into a multinational retailer with a presence in over 230 countries through its online platforms. The company creates clothing, content, and communities so people can be their best.
Ben Francis is the Founder and CEO. Recently, Carly Natalizia was promoted to Chief Commercial Officer in February 2026, to head omnichannel ambitions. Gymshark has a global community of over 10 million customers and more than 18 million followers across social media. The company operates 14 international online stores and employs over 900 staff across multiple regions. Gymshark reached a valuation of over £1 billion in 2020. Gymshark focuses on fitness apparel for men and women, including workout vests, hoodies, t-shirts, and leggings. In late 2023, Gymshark prematurely ended a promotional partnership with Alix Earle after she expressed pro-Israel views on social media. Gymshark has opened its first permanent store on Regent Street in London.
