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.
| Piece | Brand | Best for | VIP base |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ladies Racerback Tank | Next Level | Cheapest womens tank, everyday gym wear | $19.88 |
| Performance Workout Tank | Bella+Canvas | Sweat-friendly, unisex training days | $19.88 |
| Womens Essential Spaghetti Strap Tank | Bella+Canvas | Lightweight, warm-weather classes | $25.88 |
| Womens Flowy Scoop Muscle Tank | Bella+Canvas | Looser fit, yoga and recovery days | $25.88 |
| Womens Premium Triblend Racerback Tank | Next Level | Softer hand feel, premium gym merch | $25.88 |
| Mens Cut-Off Tank | AS Colour | Lifting and strength training | $24.88 |
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.| 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.
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.
