As a final year Marketing student, I can't emphasise enough how valuable it is to hear these insights from you guys, it helps people like myself with fairly limited industry experience to really plan and prepare for the start of our careers - thankyou!
You are awesome dude! Whenever I feel like somethings not going well I watch a video and feel so inspired and it gives me the drive to just push through, keep being awesome it amazing to see how far you've come!
Another insanely inspiring video, thanks Ben & Noel! A huge fan of this format as well. Like Noel says - far better than just watching a screen-recording of a Zoom call (shout out to James for the amazing editing yet again haha!)
Very inspiring. Coming from someone who also has autism, hearing you’re also autistic from the true G podcast..and building a huge brand, is super inspiring as someone who’s trying to built their own empire. 😃
23:30 is sooo real from Ben, he's so humble and genuine and you can truly see that! Glad they left that in unfiltered! Everyone is lying if they say they are not happy to earn some money alongside chasing their passions, who TF is happy working for minimum wage. He changed his life and SO MANY around him!!
I am ashamed to say I never heard of gymshark until a month ago. Discovering your channel is one of the best things that have happened in 2020 and I look forward to learning about your business your business models, and gain further insight into your journey to success.You are a true role model.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video, as I enjoy all of Ben's videos. I'm continually so blown away by Ben's transparency, intelligence, humility, eloquence, and moral compass. He is absolutely inspiring! Noel did an excellent job guiding the conversation. I look forward to more and more of these podcast style videos talking about what goes on behind the scenes in the business. I hope all Gymshark consumers watch this video and understand Ben's vision for the brand and all he does for it.
Love seeing a few guys just chat about life and talk shop. Greta job in displaying how you’ve grown as an individual and finding what your strengths were. I think most folks try and wear so many hats when they should have brought on help many years prior. Keep up the great work everyone at Gymshark!
Going back to the enthusiasm and drive within the whole team, the energy starts at the top. I think your team and people that watch these conversations can just see you have a big heart. Kind people shine. Good man 🙏
Nice, I'm 36, I've been trying to create a brand for 20 years. Over lockdown I created one but i'm not sure how to advertise, create, etc etc. I know the brand is good. I love your business side bits. I'd love mentoring or even guidance.
absolutely loved your podcast! would love you to do another one. And would love another tour around your business again to see what's changed we all love you Ben France
As a small business owner - this was super cool and interesting! I see why he wouldn’t want to sell his brand, the real joy comes from seeing the impact of your product/s do for society. I get a euphoric feeling everyday planning and watching my brand grow everyday, and I’m on a much much smaller scale than Ben - so imagine he has the same feeling times a 1000 😂 Thanks for sharing! Go gymshark 🙌🏽
Thank you for your products they literally made me love working out. I went from a size 16 to a size 6 because gymshark made me love wearing my outfits for the gym. So thank you.
Great interview, very authentic. Shows not only the business intelligence that has been the catalyst for the growth of Gymshark, but also the applied wisdom at the heart of the company. Wishing you all the continued success going forward 👍
I'm early stages with my drinks brand and love the chat around not focusing on raising money, but profit cycling to grow. Could you do a conversation focused on this? Personally, I'm determined to bootstrap, but so many areas for improvement in my business and I could do with additional help with, but can't afford to bring people in or outsource. Would be great to hear how you guys bridged this gap early on!
Really enjoyed how you filmed this and found the content so helpful and inspirational. So much food for thought and just makes me love gymshark even more 💙🦈
Great podcast between to top lads Noel lay some good questions.Ben humble guy loving watching Gymshark journey .great to see and of worked at the hq.keep it up lads 👌🏾
Brilliant video, thanks for the transparency and sharing your experiences. Whilst not my own brand I am a few years new in to B2B sales and a lot of what you said really sinks in and feels relevant to my day to day feelings and thoughts. Keep it up guys, you've absolutely smashed it and I can see it going even further
There’s a lot of positive things to take from this for all of us whom have had ‘difficult’ business partners, difficult to the point they’ve sabotaged the business simply because it’s not ‘all’ about them, as things moved on they became less relevant and rather than move aside or collaborate they hit the destruction button. Great company, fantastic people 😁👍
What I find fascinating about Gymshark is that though it is a massive name brand, it feels like a personal, small-business; this is all credit to Ben and makes me want to support Gymshark - it's great.
Ben, I really appreciate the honest conversations you are putting out more and more. It helps us who are grinding away with dreams to have our brands catch. I am 7 months in on Never Alone. my mental health initiative that I started after a bout of depression when my father died from cancer. I saw the mental health system in general did not help the vast majority of people. I am creating Never Alone to be a part of that change. I want mental health help to fall in line with physical health help... make it a daily conversation. Make it cool in areas, wear it proudly on your body with stylish clothes, bring it mainstream with social media. thank you for inspiring me -Tall Paul
I really got a lot from this and, I expect more realisations will come. The initial one is, I am mind blown by what Gymshark has become and love the ethos of the company, but realise that my ambition is not to be a 'Unicorn' company, simply a multi, multi million UK business with great products and ethics, that has international customers. It,s my stage of life and I know it. Brilliant content fella's.
Love the emotions but I love more that you have given back to your management team. An ambition of mine that has always been if my business ever comes of anything. No better feeling than togetherness 🙏👊
Noel’s prompting and directing on this was truly phenomenal. Asked all the right questions; heartfelt, direct, listened well, interrupted at all the right times, captured some of the raw emotions as well as the harder business questions. Can see why Ben needs him on the team. Absolutely excellent interviewer. This had me captivated from start to finish. Can’t wait for the next one. (And thanks for not doing the screen record Zoom! 👏🏽😅)
Such good vibes just watching such a video Ben So glad to be here and watch it! Maybe one day meet u! Working on my goal to be the frst gymshark athlete in india at 20 years that's nxt year so maybe like that one day I might meet you.
Ben, it’s great that GymShark has had the growth it has, in fact it’s usually mentioned in every piece of media related to the brand! But what is GymShark’s environmental impact assessment plan? A billion dollar brand with all the manufacturing and transport etc that is involved has a huge environmental impact. Growth shouldn’t come at any cost, and using recycled packaging isn’t enough. It would be great to hear you talk more on this. Thanks.
Dude you're a literal inspiration to so many people. You're going so fast and your mindset is impeccable.
100% it’s the “be part of something bigger than me” for me.
This is what can happen if you dont focus your energy on being a drop shipping mmo guru.

End of 2021: How I grew Gymshark into a 10 billion dollar company!
I love how open, honest and raw this is! All the questions everyone was thinking was answered! Absolutely wicked video guys 🙌🏼
Love this interview, leaving inspired.
With young leaders like this, our future is bright!
@24:05 when Noel said you should show that you're human he's bang on. It's far more relatable. Fantastic interview - really enjoyed it.

Nice interview, a little more insight into breakdown of the gymshark operation, departments and key growth learnings would be ideal!
