Gym Owners Love Apparel But Hate the Hassle of Admin Work

Gym apparel is a great way to build your brand, strengthen your community, and generate extra revenue. Yet, many gym owners avoid it—not because they don’t like the idea of apparel, but because they hate the administrative work that comes with it.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by designing, ordering samples, or managing pre-orders, you’re not alone. Here’s why handling apparel on your own can be frustrating—and how we make it simple.

The Design Roadblock: Running Out of Ideas

At one point, you may have enjoyed designing your gym’s apparel. But lately, you’re either out of ideas or your last design didn’t sell as well as you hoped.

The Problem:

• Creating fresh, high-quality designs that your members actually want to wear is harder than it looks.
• A design that you love may not be something your community is excited about.

The Solution:

We collaborate with you to create custom designs that match your gym’s brand and resonate with your audience. No more second-guessing or hoping a design will sell—we use our expertise to ensure your apparel is a success.

The Hassle of Ordering Samples

Testing different garments before committing to a bulk order is smart, but when you’re handling it yourself, it becomes a major hassle.

The Problem:

• It’s Expensive – Without a wholesale account, you’re paying retail prices. Even with one, shipping just one or two sample items to yourself can cost $15-$30 per order.
• It’s Time-Consuming – Finding the right fit, brand, and fabric takes trial and error.
• Returning Samples – Many vendors require you to send back samples before you can place an order, adding another errand to your to-do list.

The Solution:

We send you samples for free—no returns required.

Let’s be honest, sending back sample garments after multiple people have handled or tried them on is unsanitary. We skip the unnecessary steps and make sure you get the best quality without the hassle.

The Pre-Order Nightmare

If you’re running pre-orders on your own, you already know how much extra work it creates. Pre-orders are one of the best ways to sell apparel because they eliminate financial risk, but without a good system, they can quickly become a logistical headache.

The Problem:

• Tracking orders manually
• Collecting and organizing payments
• Sorting, packaging, and labeling everything

The Solution:
