Gymshark is a British fitness apparel brand founded in 2012 by Ben Francis and Lewis Morgan in Solihull, England. What began as a small operation in Francis’s parents’ garage—where he hand-sewed gym wear—has evolved into a global powerhouse valued at over £5 billion as of 2025. The company gained rapid traction through influencer marketing and a strong online presence, cultivating a dedicated fitness community. Gymshark now boasts over 900 employees across offices in the UK, US, and Asia, with customers in more than 230 countries. While primarily an e-commerce brand, it has expanded into physical retail, opening flagship stores in London and New York City.
