The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Gymshark began in Birmingham, England in 2012. Steve Hewitt founded it in his garage. They make athletic wear for training. Hand-stitched hoodies launched the brand early on. Hewitt's direct connection to lifters shaped everything. The company sold to General Atlantic in 2020. Now Gymshark operates globally, shipping to dozens of countries. They rank number twenty-four in Health, Fitness & Wellness. Among 6649 tracked brands, few match their reach. Influencer partnerships and community built their following young. The brand remains strongest with serious gym-goers and athletes.
