Gymshark

Gymshark is performance activewear built almost entirely from synthetic fibre. Across the Gymshark styles read to the Throne Standard, only 4.9% are 100% plant fibre (cotton, linen or hemp). 28.0% are plant and synthetic blends, and 67.1% are 100% synthetic, the range leaning heavily on nylon, polyester and elastane.

These figures come from the 88.8% of Gymshark’s 1,834-product catalogue that has been read. The remaining 206 products (11.2%) publish no fibre composition anywhere we can read, so they are counted in the catalogue total but sit outside the percentages above. Every one of them is listed in full below, with the excluded non-textile items, so you can check them yourself.

About Gymshark

Gymshark does not own factories; per its own 2025 Factory List, Gymshark garments are made by third-party suppliers concentrated in Vietnam, China, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Taiwan and Pakistan, with some production in Turkey, Italy and Portugal.
Gymshark was founded in 2012 by Ben Francis and Lewis Morgan in the West Midlands, England, when Francis was a 20-year-old Aston University student. Ben Francis remains majority owner and CEO with a roughly 70% stake, while US private equity firm General Atlantic took a 21% stake in 2020.
Gymshark is a legitimate, currently-trading British company headquartered in Solihull, with reported revenue around 646 million pounds in 2025 and sales in over 230 countries. The activewear is well-regarded for fit and performance, but note it is almost entirely synthetic rather than natural fibre.
Gymshark is widely categorised as fast fashion by ethics reviewers because of its trend-driven, frequent product drops and heavy reliance on virgin synthetic fabrics, though Gymshark positions itself around performance activewear and publishes an Impact Report with SBTi-validated climate targets.
Gymshark does not publish an OEKO-TEX or Bluesign chemical-safety certification.
How we scan. Every figure comes from the Throne Standard scan: we read the fibre composition off each live product and count only single-fibre plant cloth as natural. Animal and synthetic fibres sit outside the plant-fibre figure.
