Gymshark is going big in the Big Apple. The UK fitness/sportswear brand has announced the long-awaited location of its first North American flagship store – 11 Bond Street, New York.

The 13,000 sq ft flagship will sit over four floors and is scheduled to open later this year.

With further core stores also planned for London, Manchester, and Amsterdam, Bond Street “marks only Gymshark’s second flagship store and its first of this type in the United States”.

Although more details of the new New York flagship are yet to be revealed, it did say that in addition to shopping, the space will offer events, community hangouts, workout studios, and more. It will also include 3D-printed mannequins of members of the Gymshark community.

The retailer said that over the past 12 months, “New York has increasingly become Gymshark’s North American home”. Last June, the brand opened its US headquarters on Greene Street, SoHo, and in September, Gymshark hosted its biggest ever event, Lift:NY, which saw over 7,500 members of the fitness community descend on Pier 36 for a weekend of ‘lifting, flexing and meeting heroes’.

Ben Francis, founder and CEO of Gymshark, said: “New York has really become our North American home. Our headquarters are here, and to welcome so many members of the community to Lift:NY last year was incredible. But to have a permanent location that allows our community to train, shop and hang out, and for us to hang out with them, really takes it to another level.”

Formerly a pureplay digital brand, Gymshark opened its first flagship store on London’s Regent Street in October 2022. Its success led to further core and pop-up stores in Westfield Stratford, The Dubai Mall and Oxford’s Bicester Village.
