If you’ve ever scrolled through fitness influencers on Instagram or TikTok, you’ve probably noticed one logo showing up again and again — Gymshark.
But have you ever wondered where Gymshark is most popular and why it has such a strong global following?
As someone working in activewear manufacturing and branding with FuKi Gymwear,
I’ve studied how Gymshark built its reach — from the UK to the U.S. and beyond — through digital marketing and youth culture.
Gymshark is most popular in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Australia,
with growing audiences in Germany, Canada, and Asia.
Its success comes from strong social media marketing, affordable premium pricing,
and a youth-driven community that shares gym culture online.
Founded in Birmingham, UK (2012), Gymshark expanded globally through e-commerce and influencer partnerships.
Unlike older fitness brands that rely on physical stores, Gymshark used digital-first marketing to grow rapidly.
Key Highlights:
Rank | Country | Popularity Factors | Main Buyer Demographics |
---|---|---|---|
1️⃣ | United Kingdom | Home market, strong brand loyalty | 18–35, fitness enthusiasts |
2️⃣ | United States | Influencer-driven sales, gym culture | 20–35, athletes & creators |
3️⃣ | Australia | Outdoor fitness & community events | 18–30, lifestyle users |
