14 years ago, I started Gymshark with no roadmap.
 
Just an idea and a willingness to give it a go.
 
If I had to start again tomorrow, these are the lessons I’d take with me.
 
Most people are looking for a shortcut.
 
I’d focus on building skills.
 
Businesses come and go.
 
The skills you build stay with you forever.
 
Which lesson resonates most? 👇

2012 → My parents’ house in Birmingham.

2026 → 10 permanent Gymshark stores globally.

The goal isn’t to start big.

It’s to start.

Being awarded an MBE by Prince William three years ago was an honour of a lifetime that I’ll never forget! I love our country and I’m so proud to build our business here 🇬🇧♥️

I had to figure things out as I went along. Each experience has taught me more, and I’m still learning every day.
 
The story isn’t finished yet...and that’s the exciting part.
 
Keep showing up, your next attempt could change everything 💪🏼🦈💭👀

Today I turn 34.
 
I definitely don’t have everything figured out.
 
But after building Gymshark for almost half my life, these are a few lessons that have stuck with me.
 
Most of them came from mistakes.
Some came from wins.
All of them came from experience.
 
If you’re young and thinking about starting something, remember:

You don’t need to have all the answers.
You just need to start.
 
What lesson has taken you the longest to learn? 👇

14 years.

Sometimes I have to stop and remind myself just how much has happened in what still feels like such a short space of time.

What started as an idea in my parents’ house has grown into a global brand with an incredible team, an amazing community and millions of people who choose Gymshark every single day. That still blows me away.

I’m proud of what we’ve built, but even more grateful to everyone who’s been part of the journey. Every employee, athlete, creator, partner and customer has helped shape Gymshark into what it is today.

People often ask if the excitement ever fades. The truth is, I still love this business as much as I did when I started it. Maybe even more.

14 years is something to celebrate, but it also feels like we’re just getting started. My ambition has never been to build a business that has a good decade. It’s to build a brand that stands the test of time.

Thank you for believing in us. Here’s to the next chapter. 🦈

Episode 64: Founder of @gymshark 

The UK’s youngest billionaire. 

I walked with @benfrancis, founder of @gymshark.

At 17 years old, he started the company from his bedroom. Today, Gymshark is one of the biggest fitness brands in the world across 200+ countries.

But what impressed me most wasn’t the business. Straight after our interview, Ben texted me to say that if I ever needed anything, he’d be there to help. He didn’t need to do that.

For someone who has built an empire, he’s incredibly kind, humble and so down to earth. It felt less like an interview and more like a walk with an old friend. I learned so much from this conversation.

What a founder. What an amazing human ❤️

14 years.
14 photos.
 
Looking back, it’s never the big moments that stand out most.
It’s the small steps, repeated over and over again.
 
A lot has changed since starting Gymshark in my parents’ house.

The value of consistency hasn’t.
 
Which year stood out most to you? 👇

This week, we open our FIRST EVER US flagship store… in New York City. 🇺🇸🦈
 
It’s hard to put into words what this moment means.
 
Back in 2017, we opened a tiny pop-up in NYC. I remember standing in that room watching hundreds of you show up for a brand that was still figuring everything out. It was chaotic, emotional, completely overwhelming… and it changed everything for me.

That day was the real start of Gymshark retail.
 
Since then, every pop-up has pushed us forward.

Every queue, every conversation, every moment with the community has led us to where we are now:
 
📍 A permanent home on Regent Street
📍 4 stores across the UK and Europe 
📍 2 in Dubai 
📍A partnership with Selfridges 
📍And now… full circle, back to New York.
 
But this time, not a pop-up. A flagship. A milestone in Gymshark history.
 
Just a few streets away from where it all began.
 
I genuinely can’t wait for you to experience the Gymshark brand in real life, in a space built entirely for YOU.
 
See you on Saturday 13th December.
Gymshark US Flagship. New York City.
Let’s make history again. 🤍🦈
