I took a trip to our Gymshark factories out in Vietnam and Bangladesh to get a closer look at how our products are made. We travelled 12,840 miles, visiting 5 countries in just 5 days!

Loving the content Ben! You should invite some of the management team from the factories in Asia to come visit the UK. It would definitely be a once in a lifetime opportunity for those that have probably never left their country

Approaching retirement age myself I've spent the last few years trying to get into good enough shape to wear Gymshark. Over that time I've got to see no end of fitness influencers wearing Ben's apparel, and I've learned a lot. Seeing the owner of the company wearing his own products however inspires even greater confidence, as he seems a very genuine, modest and respectable man. Good luck to you Ben!

Ben, I know you have rest day gear (which is great) but I would love to see something like Smart /Casual. It would be the amazing Gymshark fit but could be worn on say a night out, a date, even work but doesn’t shout “I’m working out”. It could have a really subtle same colour logo on a bottom tag or something. The gymshark brand is amazing but I don’t always want someone to think I’m just about to workout. In fact, a couple of the rest day oversized ones I got recently have this, a really small and subtle logo. I’ve tried really hard to just get a casual T-shirt or polo that fits the same that I can wear on a night out, but they just aren’t very good or flattering! Im sure I’m late to the party and you guys have considered it already! Would love to see it.

You are definitely in another category if you think I need a day job Kuz, LMAO 🤫 At economies of scale benefit from vertical integrating all components of the supply chain as a way to reduce cost enough to expand to other markets (like third world countries) without compromising margins. This year the whole business strategy has been "If you can't grow, protect the margin by reducing cost and laying off personnel... You don't have to when you can reduce cost by optimizing the supply chain. It's simple economics. Do yourself a favor & read a book G.

@@cybrpvnk That is not at all how economies of scale work. These factories are pumping out products for dozens of multi national companies not just Gymshark, suggesting that Gymshark buys the factory to produce only for themselves would decrease efficiency, decrease output and increase the cost per item. Literally not a single company on the planet operates this way. Even Amazon use partners to produce their packaging, they don't own their own paper mills and factories. You obviously aren't aware that Nike use this factory and they are valued 100x higher than Gymshark. You are right it is very simple economics, yet you still failed to understand it!
