The company regularly partners with a diverse range of athletes and influencers. More recent Gymshark athletes include Francis Ngannou, Staffron Barker, GK Barry, Leana Deeb, Analis Cruz, Jessica Bickling, Gina Amin, Whitney Simmons, Joy Sistina, and many more.

In 2022, Gymshark ended its association with former partner True Geordie following controversial remarks made by him, in line with Gymshark's adherence to its brand values and principles. [43]

Gymshark's strategy extended beyond influencer partnerships. By leveraging various platforms, the company aimed to build a strong online community and increase brand visibility. Through the strategic use of social media channels, Gymshark documented its journey, offering glimpses into various facets of the brand, including the headquarters, lifting club, lift events, and behind-the-scenes of photoshoots. [44] This approach helped Gymshark create a sense of connection among its global audience, offering them a closer look into the brand's values and operations.

Commitment to Diversity

January 2022 Gymshark released a video "United We Sweat", focusing on how the pandemic has forced people to have different versions of the gym. The video focuses on how the gym isn't a place where everyone will "train the same, look the same or love the same." [45]

In April 2022, the brand received backlash as a behind the scenes shoot showed no models over a UK 8, leaving people to wonder about Gymsharks commitments to body inclusivity. [46]

Gymshark garnered attention for its proactive approach to addressing body shaming comments on social media. [47] Hitting back at commenters that they can hit the unfollow button if they don't want to see this type of content, at one comment they responded "Whilst we do want to motivate people to reach their full potential, we also want them to know that if they're happy with where they are on their fitness journey, that's okay. People don't need to strive for an ideal body type or certain look." [48]

In June 2022 Gymshark did a series of videos called "Pride in Progress" highlighting fitness diversity through a Pride campaign. Featuring Angel Flores a well-known transgender powerlifter and other's stories about finding their place in fitness spaces. [49]

Gymshark has made efforts to promote inclusivity and diversity within its community. According to a UK-based editorial Hyphen, Gymshark's collaboration with hijabi athletes has been praised for breaking down fitness barriers and advancing inclusivity. [50] The brand has worked with influential figures such as Leana Deeb and Umaymah Makda to empower Muslim women athletes. [50] Through these partnerships, Gymshark has developed clothing lines tailored to modest dressing preferences, including hijab-friendly designs. In August 2023, Gymshark unveiled a 3D billboard featuring Leana wearing a hijab, highlighting the brand's commitment to accommodating the religious practices of Muslim women during workouts and affirming their place within the community. [29] Gymshark continues to collaborate with influencers like Leana to expand its range of inclusive options for customers. [51]

Community Involvement & Partnerships

Before Gymshark held any retail stores, they hosted lifting parties around cities to connect with their community. During these events people interested can meet and interact with Gymshark athletes, get city exclusive apparel, and compete for prizes. [52] These events started back in 2018, and still continue today. Early April 2023 was the first lifting event post-pandemic, they had a huge turnout with over 10,000 ticket sales [52]

The most recent was Lift Miami in February 2024. [53] Partnerships play a significant role in Gymshark's events, with Lift Miami having partnerships with SourStrips, Hyperice, Plunge, Turfgames, Ghost, Liquid Death, Barry's, and Stanley. [54] Their previous event Lift LA in August 2024 had partnerships with Alani Nu, Coffee Dose, Prime, SourStrips, Pressed, Hyperice, Beignet Box, and Go Greek. [55]

Gymshark's events offer opportunities for attendees to engage with the brand and each other. While some aspects of the events require add-on tickets, such as exclusive Q&A sessions and smaller group activities, general admission is free, allowing individuals to participate in the event and connect with others in the community. Additionally, Gymshark organizes smaller versions of these events in various cities, providing attendees with a localized experience to interact with the brand's athletes and foster community engagement. The company also hosts free events where attendees can interact with Gymshark athletes and take part in workouts. [56]

Athleisure outfits can include tracksuits, sports jackets, hoodies, yoga pants, tights, sneakers, flats, Birkenstocks, uggs, leggings and shorts that look like athletic wear and pair well with it. Characterized as "fashionable, dressed-up sweats and exercise clothing," the growth of the athleisure trend took root during the mid-2010s, which grew out of the popularity of yoga pants that emerged throughout the mid to late 2000s. The convenience of wearing clothes that matched and paired well with yoga pants gave mainstream North American women the agency to exhibit their casual fashion sensibilities for the sake of convenience in multiple occasions without having to change frequently throughout various settings while going on and about their daily lives. Since the mid-2010s, the pervasiveness of the athleisure phenomenon has experienced a significant surge in popularity across Canada and the United States, particularly within the everyday life and daily routines of mainstream North American women. The atheleisure trend entails casual clothing options that give North American women the option to incorporate athletic clothing as part as of their everyday attire, irrespective of their actual engagement in physical activities or not.
