Ben must literally pinch himself to ensure he's awake when he walks into that distribution centre. To think it literally started in a bedroom to this monstrous organization! What an amazing and inspiring dude!!!
“Probably not the most exciting thing you will see” These videos are the reason why I subscribed. Really like the flow and efficiency of your company and I take away a lot. Thank you for sharing
Mate you are one of the only true and genuine young entrepreneurs who built it form nothing! Youngsters should look up to you and your work ethic. You deserve everything you get in life. Keep it going dude!
This is absolutely insane to me to see your growth in just a few short years. So so awesome to see this part. People really don't always appreciate the intricacies and how expensive the back-end operations can really cost and how much it really impacts your business as a whole. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Ben, you probably won’t see this but I worked in your Swindon distribution centre for the past couple of summer and big sales. I massively enjoyed my time working there but I’m disappointed that you have moved but also glad to see it as it was cramped in there. You as a business completely outgrew and is soaring as a business. There is also a lot more Nando’s around your new dc. If there was ever a chance to work at gymshark I would love to take that opportunity.
Thank you so much for your contribution. It's greatly appreciated! We loved the Swindon Dc but as you say, we were outgrowing it and this new DC really gives us opportunity to grow. Keep an eye on our careers website as we are adding a lot of new roles to. it over the next 12 months..!
Most enjoyable video about the importance of distribution; customers don't care about delivery and distribution until something doesn't arrive, then there is a potential 'conflict' or 'issue' between customer and business, that can 'linger' or be an ongoing issue even after it's been resolved. Being proactive and doing this NOW, ensures customers that Gymshark is putting their customer as the main focus! Well done team!!!👏
Working in a large e-commerce business that my family owns in Australia being able to see this is very cool to compare how our distribution centres around the country compare and have very similar practices. Just in the process of opening a new DC in Western Australia.
No joke I used to be a gymshark HaTeR for literally no reason but the fact that their stuff comes so quickly and the massive store that you have access to almost all the time. It is completely unrivaled by any other fitness brand. I have been converted. #teamgymshark
This kind of content is exciting to me. Love the transparency you share as well. This kind of content makes me more into your brand. With my next venture, I planned to do content like this, and to see a company like this at this size have the mindset to share this is really good.

It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!”* -Rocky Balboa Love from a small channel💙
my first gymshark order shipped today and i was curious as to how things worked and i was surprised to see the acutal ceo giving a full rundown of the operation. you are admirable, well done :)
The supply chain is the greatest thing there is! I work as a Demand Planner for á big wholesaler and you van really make á big difference. A couple of years ago i orderend the old joggers (i think they were the luxe joggers). The really early ones. And look at you now! Really impressive. I like the business minded vlogs/episodes.
Incredible to see the scale of operations. As GymShark grows to become a global brand what are you doing to be better for society? - specifically environmental impact, combatting fast fashion etc
to be better for society: they provide gymwear plus encouragement to help people get off their fat blubbery asses and get in shape beyond that, fuck social do-gooders up the ass with a broken bottle on end of a pitchfork now THAT would make a better planet!
Ben you gonna be huge brother, and you will always deserve the best. Thank you for sharing your journey with us as small business owners. I hope to meet you one day, legend.
This is so inspiring Ben , you're a great entrepreneur , it's a extraordinary level , and I'm sure it's not even half way , wish you luck ,I love your journey.
Love these videos. Ben being such a likeable, down to earth guy makes it so much easier to support Gymshark. Good luck with all the new spaces opening! 👊
absolutely loved the video❤️ Ben also open one of your distribution center in India the growth of gymshark will explode, India has very loyal followers
Wow, so interesting to see!! I love how your business is growing so much over the years. I didn't know there was a distribution center here in Belgium!
Absolutely great to see the behind-the-scenes of gymshark. Fellow entrepreneur here and I love comparing my journey to others (in a positive way ofc haha).
Hugely motivating guy Ben, and a true leader for the future. You inspired me to start my own business. Keep up the great work and love the content of your videos!
congratulations ben, this is very exciting. I would love to spend a day picking your brain and getting all your insights. Good on you for making great business moves x
I have been working in the Lutterworth DC for the last 10 days for the Black Friday sale. WOW = I cannot believe the amount of units that we are processing every day. Hats off to you Ben. Also places an order yesterday to top up on some essential garments
Wow!!! 🇨🇦 Canada here... thanks for the import fee-FREE.. one of the reason i LOVE GYMSHARK.. costumer friendly, beautiful goodies and easy to order and to return... excellent costumer service compare to all other brand i tried.... I LOVE YOU GYMSHARK ❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦🦋🦋🦋
I love vids like this as the back end strategy is the absolute foundation of any business. Distributing stock efficiently and making the buying experience a simple one for the customer makes those customers return as much as the quality of goods will. Gymshark - what a fabulous business story.
Super informative and interesting! Thank you so much for taking us through the reasons for your distribution centre changes. I think it's also great how core customer experience is to your thinking! :)
That's a massive and crucial improvement if you want to scale faster in other regions. I think that Gymshark is in the right path to become the top and leader in the industry. Curious to know if they want to go public. Keep ip up Ben!!!
Weldone Ben. You are a inspiration to all of us. I am starting a sports equipment business. Got my first stock coming from the home of sports equipment manufacturing Pakistan.
I bought Shopify stock after learning Gymshark was doing business with It. At the time, it was $150 a share. Thanks Gymshark. Please let your long time supporters when the Gymshark IPO is.
Good job!!!! And keep up the good work!!!! Here in Canada 🇨🇦 WE LOVE GYMSHARK A LOT❤️🇨🇦❤️ working in this company would be a DREAM COME TRUE, for SURE!!!🤗😍🥰❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hi Ben, you are an entrepreneur in every sense of the word. Maybe one day we will see a Ben Francis MBE 🙂.. do you have much to do with sourcing your products and how your products are made, sustainability and ensuring overseas labour meets with your moral/Gymsharks expectations ? Cheers
I am seeking Gym Shark clothing in my 2 gyms in San Jose. I let Robin know of this on her channel. I need to buy a pair of shorts with pockets to join the movement. Keep going.
Gymshark has a lot of support in the southern parts of Africa, maybe there's a way we can organize a delivery channel soon. Right now we pay almost the same value for delivery as the what the product is right now, and delivery time is absurd.
Super interesting Ben loved this video , congratulations on your new DC in Lutterworth looks like an incredible operation , the sheer scale of it is mind blowing . Its really interesting to get an insight into the logistics arm of the company 😊 We can vouch being based in Rugby ourselves, Nando’s Rugby is 😋💯
Love it or hate it, how he has single handedly built this brand from a garage to this in the time, is admirable.
gymshark is literally like the apple of gym apparel
Great comparison Aaron! Couldn’t have thought of a better one myself.
nike or adidas? 🥴
Ben must literally pinch himself to ensure he's awake when he walks into that distribution centre. To think it literally started in a bedroom to this monstrous organization! What an amazing and inspiring dude!!!

GymShark logistics is crazy.... 🔥

Not only good quality clothing but the logo also stands for something deeper. That's what I love about gymshark.

The hustle is real! I been struggling with my startup as well aiming to make it big
When will you visit the factories that make the clothes? How integrated and part of the gym shark family?
^^ Would be really interesting to see this!
Most of factories that produce clothes for Gymshark are in China i think
I would be really interested in looking at how your process your returns in your centres and re bag etc.. love these videos.
A distribution centre in Asia would be absolutely game changing tho ;)
Loooove seeing these videos! Keep it up Ben
Just going from strength to strength. Awesome job Ben, and all the Gymshark family.
This is inspirational man! Well done!
Great video! Great editing! Loving the consistency

Damn it would be fantastic to meet Ben. Well done on another Distribution Centre dude!
These are my favorite type of videos!!
Got the new 1/4 zip for my birthday last week. Arrived 24 hours after purchase on basic delivery.

Great video Ben. Not boring to me at all.
Every time you said "this is probably boring" I was screaming "show me more!"
Super interesting Ben loved this video , congratulations on your new DC in Lutterworth looks like an incredible operation , the sheer scale of it is mind blowing . Its really interesting to get an insight into the logistics arm of the company 😊
We can vouch being based in Rugby ourselves, Nando’s Rugby is 😋💯
