It's amazing how many of you would love a tour of the Gymshark campus, keep letting us know if you're interested! Going to see what I can do and get back to you. Also thank you all for the comments, I promise I'll try to get back to as many as possible!! 🦈
Would love a tour Ben! I started my premium activewear brand for men this year - Anpassa Sports Apparel. Your insights will have been invaluable for many startups.
I know this is not the right place to say this, but I have to, hoping that someone from the team will notice. PLEASE, sew in the logo! The activewear will be so much better looking, and there will be no possibility of changing the colour of the logo while washing. I love your activewear so much and wear proudly, and always do amazing workouts in them. Kind regards to you and your team, you're doing a great job.
@@BenFrancis We can see that, that's why we're so obsessed with your activewear! Making us feel beautiful and strong at the same time. It's worth a fortune!
Ben why not look in to a gymshark reworked section. Offer customers discounts for exchanging old items and give the team them to reapply logos etc if possible. Both adidas and North face do something similar.
i'm a Bleckmann employee and a huuuuuuuuuge fan of you and the brand Gymshark What a rollercoaster until now.... and it's only just begun.... Look out!!!! Gymshark takes its' place in the retail world with a blast! Wish you all the luck & inspiration that makes Gymshark the great brand it is XXX
Hey Ben I am a 16 year old Junior in high school and currently work at my dads apparels company. He has thrown me into this whole world and you have taught me a lot. You inspire me to create and grow a company. I would love to see the campus and the new GSIG. Best Takoda
Please do a tour of the entire campus and invite people. I heard the OMR podcast recently and have to say that you are probably one of the coolest and most real CEO's out there. The way you care, communicate and show what's going on is just brilliant!
Forever will remain amazed. So incredible to see a young entrepreneur thrive and be willing to document the process to inspire others in the meantime! A tour would be MAGNIFICENT! Trees indoors? I'm absolutely sold🤘🏻
Absolutely astonishing how, u & the Gymshark family have grown over the last few years. You are definitely a true inspiration to the next generation of entrepreneurs. I have been asked so many times “are u being sponsored by gymshark as I pretty much wear it all week long (in & out of the gym) My wife & I would definitely love to see up close all ur achievements and get the chance to meet u.
Iv run my own company for 13 years, we employee 164 cleaners. I sometimes watch your videos with a lump in my throat and feel so emotional and proud of what you have done Ben. Honestly I could only dream of that type of success! I would love to be given a tour! Please please let me know! I’d love it! Daniel
I live in Luxembourg and I've been following your journey for a while now. I am 20 years old and just wanted to point out that you inspire young people like me. I dream big and I am very ambitious, and now because of you and everything you do I dream bigger. I would definitely travel all the way to the UK, if I was to get an opportunity to visit the new project or the whole the campus. Kind regards from Luxembourg, Pedro
Hey Ben, my name is Zach, I'm 23 years old and from Phoenix, Arizona. When covid happened, I started my own clothing brand for fun. A year later its turned into a business and even though I'm no where near reaching my end goals, I just enjoy doing it. Watching your videos and seeing how you built up gymshark is one of the reasons I'm motivated to continue to build up mines. If you ever get a chance to see this, I would love to get the opportunity to travel to the UK and get the experience of seeing the gymshark's campus. -Zachary
A tour of the campus would be a dream come true. I remember when I started watching your videos and I saw HQ for the first time, I would check your site for careers listings all the time. Of course, I’m in Canada, but if Robin can relocate then so can I, hahaha. In all seriousness though, following the Gymshark athletes over the years, and witnessing Gymshark’s insane amount of growth has been immensely inspiring. Thank you so much for these behind the scenes videos, Ben (and team)!
I am the same age as you and also an entrepreneur. Always try to learn from your videos. Deep, deep, deep respect for everything you do. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Ben, I don’t think you understand how much your words meant to me and to a lot of us watching when you spoke about your dreams to inspire a younger generation. As someone who finishes graduate school this December, I need you to know that you and your team has absolutely done this. I have never wanted to see a place more! It’s so cool and inspiring! I have to get out to London soon!
Local boy (can almost see my house from your drone shots), who's seen Gymshark's incredible growth and development in the area and worldwide. Watch your videos and feel so inspired of what you and your team have achieved, really put Solihull on the map. Keep up the phenomenal work! Would love a tour to see how you have grown and as I see Gymshark as I place I want to work at in the future, no doubt! (PS I am a software and web dev)
Oktra have done an insane job on the marketing for this one. Fair play, they have clearly delivered in your vision for this. I reckon you should shout them out tbf.
I’m studying business and marketing at Huddersfield University and when this building is finished I would love to come and have a tour of all the buildings and have an insight into this amazing brand which I have bought products from you ! I have two sets of gym outfits and a water bottle and they are all amazing ! Keep smashing your goals and it’s so inspiring for us young ones !
As a small business owner from The Netherlands I would love to check out the inside of the GSIQ. Gymshark is the absolute brand I look up to, and to get more inspiration and motivation I really like to see how working within such a great company would be. And also trying to apply the things that are done within gymshark, such as marketing & product development, to my own business.
My entire workout wardrobe is gymshark as of now, I love the brand, quality of the clothing and what gymshark stands for. Being able to see how it’s all made it even just get a workout in at the Lifting Club would make me so happy. Again, I love what you do, keep it up!
Finally starting to get back into my workout routine after everything that has gone on in the last 18 months, and my Gymshark kit has played an important part in that, so cheers, Ben, and the GS team! Would love to see the GSIQ campus and how it’ll help inspire current and future generations 🙌🏼
Dear Ben, knowing you started all this in your home makes me so emotional whenever I see the next great thing you and your team have created. I am currently starting a business in my home and it is just unbelievable to think how far you've come from that point in just a few years. You are such an inspiration because GS is built on working hard, being fair and caring about your employees. Thank you for sharing this with the world!
Shared with the viewers on my channel how much I've appreciated learning about and using your brand. Love seeing that you're continuing to find ways to improve, and not content on the quality of the company and products now. Also love how you're treating your employees. Big fan, and will continue to use your stuff! Keep it up, brotha!
Would be all over a tour of the new Gymshark building. From what i've seen of the lifting club, you guys have absolutely smashed it, and to think this is better blows my mind!
I'd literally love to tour gymshark, wear the brand day in day out all year round, massive supporter in what you guys do as a brand and achieve, massive respect!
I am in my last year (4th year Business Studies, HBO) in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. From February till July I have my last internship and I thought how cool and inspirational would It be to be a intern at Gymshark, but the only problem is that I live in the Netherlands... Despite that I would love to see the Gymshark Campus and everyone that is working there. I want to speak and really connect with them. Also, I would love to have a gym session in de Gymshark Lifting Club, I think the atmosphere is amazing there and just watching you guys work and gym there, I get motivated and what you said: ''after you finish college, this would be my dream job''. I think the same and would love to have a look at Gymshark. Thank you for the video and I can't wait for the next episode. Keep it up Ben!
@Ben Francis Congratulations on your many achievements thus far what a journey discovered your channel by chance a few years ago, just how you’ve documented the whole thing is amazing. We’ll done buddy 👏🏼💥
I knew my time would come always wanted to check out GSHQ + the one in Colorado. Looks like I need to save some money for a flight. Big inspiration can’t wait to see what’s next. Love the transparency too.
I'd love to have a tour around the new and old facilities at gymshark. The behind the scenes processes always fascinate me the most. And of course a trip to Gymshark HQ wouldn't be complete without a session in the Lifting Club. Awesome work Ben, really good to see you're building & investing within the UK!
I would love to come visit this campus, i am currently studying Design Engineering in Spain and would love to see this facility! I am obsessed with your vision and have actually been doing sports ever since I could walk, competing in professional gymnastics teams in Paris! Congratulations on this amazing project seeing it truly motivates me to see that everything is possible with a lot of hard work and the right people.
Ooo I'd love a tour. My graduation is in November. I really think IOT will help make the health industry smarter. Imagine gymshark selling smart swimwear that counts your laps and plays music using vibration. So much crazy things to try. Crazy innovation key 🔑 for future proofing. We really need to think two to three generations ahead.
The idea of a “street” and having work areas being different “shops” is one of my favourite architectural designs. Would love to come check this place out! Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
I’d love to come down and see this - I met you at your event in Manchester a few years back and followed your journey ever since. You’re not wrong - you are making people want to work there, me included. I’m experienced in supply chain & buying / procurement but have a burning passion for fitness & the mental / physical benefits it brings you. I’d love to work for Gymshark.
Wow that is so inspiring, I'm entrepreneur myself and I find it soo interesting how long ahead one has to plan such things. Anf of course I want a tour of the entire campus, or even just particularly this building or just a lift in at the LC.
A tour of the Gymshark IQ would be a dream come true. To witness the growth of my favourite company first hand would be amazing. A lift in the LC wouldn’t be bad either 😉👏🏼
Honestly, this brand has grown so much and so has our man Ben. I remember the old days when Gymshark was starting to develop a small following and wow it has increased so substantially in the last few years without a doubt. I'm sure other loyal Gymshark fans/customers like myself would agree that these inspirational, motivational and business related videos really do help us to be encouraged to strive to achieve greatness with whatever we choose to do in our lifetimes. I wear this brand to work everyday and would massively appreciate a tour of the new GSIQ when it launches. We all love you and the brand you have developed Ben, keep on going! ❤️🙏🏽
This is my story Fitness has been a big part of my life and I am passionate about it. I was ran over when I was 11 years old and my parents where told I was going to die when I was in my comma on a ventilator for 6 weeks. I had to learn to walk, talk etc all over again and fitness played a big part of getting to me where I am now. I have been left with a head injury and a few problems in life but I wont be where I am now if it wasn't for fitness and exercise. I was one of the first children in the country to receive the Princess of Dianna Memorial Award after completing my GCSE's I then got on the Great Britain Canoe Sprint squad when I was 16 and competed in the European Championships in Milan and won Gold and Silver for the country. I then went back to Milan the following year and competed in the World Cup and won Gold and Bronze for the country. I retired after achieving that goal in my life and only canoe for fitness now. I am a regular Rock Climber to and enjoy pushing my body to achieve goals. I want my experiences in my life to inspire people to achieve their goals. So I decided to train as a fitness instructor while I work in my current security job. I found Lifetime Training in 2018 and started a fitness instructor course. I completed my Level 2 Fitness Instructor qualification in February 2019 and then started training towards my Level 3 fitness instructor. Then I got married in February 2020 and then completed my Level 3 fitness instructor, which lead me to complete my IAO Level 3 Diploma in Fitness Instructing and Personal Training. Then the coronavirus struck the world and all the gyms closed, which stopped me in my track to working in the fitness industry. I had to rethink my business model. I had previously set up a website and a Facebook page when I started on my journey to become a fitness instructor. I then had the idea of setting up a RU-vid channel 'Gorilla Man Fitness' and posting fitness videos from my gym in my cellar at home each week inspiring people with my story to keep fit. I would love a look around your campus because your story in a inspiration to me. Adam aka Gorilla Man Fitness
Hi Ben, It would be a dream to have a tour of the campus!! Having watched your videos for quite a while now, seeing how you’ve approached mental health, managing a business and the safeguarding of your staff through lockdowns and a global pandemic, i think you are more than inspirational. As a third year law student i am looking to explore different career paths available to me and think a tour of the campus would really benefit me and aid me in this process- i often check your vacation and intern page in hopes there may be a job available in the future!!
Im a just started Young youtubers that has the same goals & Dreams that you had. But the difference between you and me is that you made it already. It would be nice to wonder everything you build and see this as a motivation BEN. It would be nice to visit the campus. Will be plessure! - FLUKS
On my way to loosing a lot of weight and super motivated I cant actually fit into the t-shirt at the moment but I will be able to soon, I would love to go to the lifting club, me myself I have always felt like an outcast at a gym because I dont fit the mould but Gmyshark seems like such a good place and accepts all people!
I absolutely can’t wait to see what this looks like in the end! I finish university in July next year and who knows what happens after that. A session in the lifting club would also be a dream come true. You really are an inspiration.
I would love to have a tour, not just of the new building but your whole space. and potentially squeeze in a session. love the work you have done and continue to do Ben.
Would love a tour at some point. So great to see the amazing culture and business you are building. Getting some inspiration from what you have done would be unreal
Would be a dream come true to be able to wander around the GS buildings . Have been following Gymshark, and personally you for some time now. You are part of my inspiration towards entrepreneurship, and one of the reasons I have chosen to study finance and entrepreneurship at my university. Honestly better information than what I am learning I school, so highly appreciate this!
If it's possible, I would like a tour of the campus too. Being a fan of your work since I started watching on YT lifting tutorials and always wondering why people would wear the same Gymshark tank. Interesting business structure, interesting culture, and very interesting new project. A business that looks at the future.
