Gym Owners Don’t Hate Apparel—They Hate the Admin Work

Gym apparel is a great way to build your brand, strengthen your community, and generate extra revenue. Yet, many gym owners avoid it—not because they don’t like the idea of apparel, but because they hate the administrative work that comes with it.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by designing, ordering samples, or managing pre-orders, you’re not alone. Here’s why handling apparel on your own can be frustrating—and how we make it simple.


The Design Roadblock: Running Out of Ideas

At one point, you may have enjoyed designing your gym’s apparel. But lately, you’re either out of ideas or your last design didn’t sell as well as you hoped.

The Problem:

  • Creating fresh, high-quality designs that your members actually want to wear is harder than it looks.
  • A design that you love may not be something your community is excited about.

The Solution:

We collaborate with you to create custom designs that match your gym’s brand and resonate with your audience. No more second-guessing or hoping a design will sell—we use our expertise to ensure your apparel is a success.


The Hassle of Ordering Samples

Testing different garments before committing to a bulk order is smart, but when you’re handling it yourself, it becomes a major hassle.

The Problem:

  • It’s Expensive – Without a wholesale account, you’re paying retail prices. Even with one, shipping just one or two sample items to yourself can cost $15-$30 per order.
  • It’s Time-Consuming – Finding the right fit, brand, and fabric takes trial and error.
  • Returning Samples – Many vendors require you to send back samples before you can place an order, adding another errand to your to-do list.

The Solution:

We send you samples for free—no returns required.

Let’s be honest, sending back sample garments after multiple people have handled or tried them on is unsanitary. We skip the unnecessary steps and make sure you get the best quality without the hassle.


The Pre-Order Nightmare

If you’re running pre-orders on your own, you already know how much extra work it creates. Pre-orders are one of the best ways to sell apparel because they eliminate financial risk, but without a good system, they can quickly become a logistical headache.

The Problem:

  • Tracking orders manually
  • Collecting and organizing payments
  • Sorting, packaging, and labeling everything

The Solution:

Let us set up a webstore for you.

We handle everything—order collection, payment processing, sorting, packaging, and labeling. Your only job is to share the link with your members.


Stop Wasting Time—Start Selling More Apparel

Apparel doesn’t have to be a frustrating, time-consuming process. With the right system in place, it can be an effortless way to grow your brand and increase your revenue.

Let’s take the admin work off your plate so you can focus on what you do best—running your gym. Reach out today, and let’s make your next apparel drop stress-free and successful.

CASE STUDY: ONE SHOT WELLNESS

For Courtney Ford, owner of One Shot Wellness, running a gym is about more than fitness—it’s about building a community. But when it came to apparel, that sense of unity was getting lost in the shuffle. With vendors constantly changing and service that fell flat, Courtney knew she needed a partner she could trust. That’s when Forever Fierce stepped in.

From Chaos to Consistency

Before finding Forever Fierce, Courtney struggled with a revolving door of local vendors. “I was always working with someone new,” she shares. It wasn’t just inconvenient—it was exhausting. She was stuck in a cycle of explaining her needs over and over, only to be met with inconsistent service that left her unsatisfied.

The breaking point came when Courtney realized she was spending more time troubleshooting apparel issues than focusing on her members. It was time to make a change.

A Perfect Match Found in Two Brain Business

Courtney first heard about Forever Fierce through Two Brain Business, a resource she trusted. Skeptical but hopeful, she reached out—and instantly, everything changed. “The process was SO EASY,” Courtney says. For the first time, she felt like someone truly understood her needs and had the systems to deliver.

The Forever Fierce Effect

With Forever Fierce, Courtney no longer has to worry about apparel. The process? “Seamless!” she says. The results? Members who love the consistency of their gym’s merchandise and a business owner who can finally breathe easy.

“It’s like night and day,” Courtney explains. “I know I’m working with a team that cares about my success as much as I do. That kind of partnership is priceless.”

Don’t Wait—Do It

For gym owners hesitant to take the leap, Courtney has one piece of advice: “Do it!” She knows firsthand that Forever Fierce isn’t just another vendor—they’re a game-changer for any business ready to elevate their brand.

Why Forever Fierce?

Forever Fierce isn’t just about apparel—it’s about creating a streamlined, stress-free process that frees up your time and builds stronger connections with your community.
