Bear Grips Pro ShopsCheap Custom Tank Tops for Gyms and Fitness Brands
- Bear Grips tank options range from $19.88 (racerback) to $25.88 VIP base (premium triblend).
- Gyms and fitness brands sell more tanks than any other single item outside tees.
- Cheap does not mean plain: racerback, muscle, and triblend styles all print at similar base prices.
- No minimum order lets a gym test a tank design before committing to a full member merch push.
Tank tops are the highest-volume seller for most fitness businesses running a merch shop, and gym owners are right to watch the price closely since members expect gym merch to be reasonably priced. The good news: tank tops are also one of the cheapest categories in the whole catalog, with base prices starting under $20.

Why Tanks Are the Anchor of a Cheap Gym Merch Shop
Two tanks in the catalog price at $19.88 VIP base, tied with the cheapest tee. For a gym building a first merch drop on a tight budget, the racerback tank and the performance workout tank are the two lowest-risk items to start with, since a low base price gives the most room to set an affordable retail price while still keeping margin.
Bear Grips Pro Shops: Custom Apparel for Your Team. No Minimums. Free Shipping.Pricing a Gym Tank Fairly for Members
| VIP base | Suggested retail | Margin |
|---|---|---|
| $19.88 | $28.88 | $9.00 |
| $24.88-$25.88 | $34.88 | $9.00-$10.00 |
Gym members generally expect branded tanks in the $25-$35 range, so both tank tiers land inside typical fitness apparel pricing while still covering a full $9-$10 margin.
Testing a Tank Design Before a Full Member Drop
A single-piece order means a gym can print one racerback tank in each planned color, hand it around the front desk staff for feedback, and adjust before opening the design to all members. No minimum order and no upfront print run means the test costs the price of a couple of tanks, not a bulk commitment. Pair the tank with a cheap embroidered hat for a two-piece member merch starter set, or see the full Bear Grips Pro Shops catalog for the rest of the lineup.

Start FreeFrequently Asked Questions
What is the cheapest custom tank top for a gym?
The Ladies Racerback Tank and the Performance Workout Tank both price at $19.88 VIP base, the lowest in the tank category.
Are cheap tanks lower quality than gym-brand originals?
No. These are the same brand blanks (Next Level, Bella+Canvas, AS Colour) used across premium athleisure lines, just without the retail brand markup.
Can a gym order one tank per color to test before a full launch?
Yes. There is no minimum order, so a gym can test as many or as few tanks as needed before opening the design to members.
Do tank tops cost more to print than tees?
No. The two cheapest tank options price the same as the cheapest tee at $19.88 VIP base.
