They started drop shipping bodybuilding supplements through a website, and in 2013 began designing and manufacturing their own fitness apparel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Initially Francis manufactured the garments in his parents\u2019 garage on a made-to-sell basis using a sewing machine and screen printer he purchased with \u00a31,000 of savings. During the first year, Gymshark made \u00a3500 in sales per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2013, the company exhibited at the BodyPower fitness trade show at the NEC arena in Birmingham where it sold out of all its stock in the first day. After the show, Gymshark\u2019s Luxe tracksuit went viral on Facebook, generating \u00a330,000 of sales within 30 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Gymshark continued to grow rapidly through onboarding some of the world\u2019s most followed body builders.
