Introducing Gymshark London Ten years ago a teenage Ben Francis thought he’d give an online clothing business a try, and it worked! It worked so well that Gymshark grew (and grew!) with the business quickly going from garage to global. Over the years we’ve teased retail with pop up stores in the UK and abroad, but we always wanted more. And now, with your help, we are ready to make that leap with our first IRL permanent store on iconic Regent Street in central London in late summer. Our flagship store, Gymshark London, will support our mission to unite the conditioning community with a 18,000ft space across two floors that will offer retail, events, community hangouts, as well as workout studios and more!
Mental Health 🧠 is a key focus at Gymshark; happy and safe employees is our priority. We have introduced lots of ways to support the wellbeing of employees and their families, including: 🏥 Health Insurance 💪 Gym Membership 📞 A wellbeing helpline, including counselling 🧠 Healthy Minds Team (an employee resource group focused on ensuring employees feel safe, supported and connected) 🎪 This year's wellbeing event: Healthy Minds Virtual Festival 📱 Unmind App: mental health support & educational series 🕑 Flexible working hours and location 👨⚖️ Legal Advice ☕️ Virtual Tea Break: A chance to take 10 minutes from your work to meet a new employee
An important reminder: Work hard, stay humble. The phrase Steve Hewitt repeats at the end of every meeting.
Last week, our PR team created this awesome collaboration 🤝. A homage to Ben Francis’ delivery days, we worked with Pizza Pilgrims to treat the people of London to a hot, fresh pizza 🍕 and some Gymshark freebies. Customers could order a Gymshark Cheat Day Pizza via Deliveroo which included a free limited edition T-shirt and Tote Bag.
If you’re looking for something to make you smile today, this is it. We wanted to share with you our favourite day of the year - calling the Gymshark66 winners. It’s always so humbling to hear about their journeys and we are just so honoured to be a part of that.
When you feel as though work is only throwing problems your way, don’t get frustrated, don’t give up, just remember that without problems we could not grow. It would be pretty boring if everything was easy!
