A competitive gymnastics gym sets up a branded Pro Shop in about an hour. The owner uploads the gym logo, picks the apparel pieces, sets retail prices, and shares the storefront link. Parents, gymnasts, and coaches order from the same branded store. The gym earns margin on every piece sold and never holds inventory. Below is the step-by-step setup process for a competitive gymnastics gym.
Step 1: Sign Up and Choose the Plan
Visit shops.beargrips.com and create the gym account. Three plan options:
- Free plan: Three live products at zero monthly cost. Covers a basic setup of tee plus hoodie plus hat.
- Self-Service VIP at $59 per month: Two hundred live products with the lowest base prices. Most competitive gymnastics gyms run on this plan.
- Done-For-You VIP at $109 per month: Full setup managed by a Pro Shop advisor. Fifteen products curated, mockups built, color variants picked, copy written.
For a competitive program that wants the full team, parent, and coach apparel set with multiple color options, the Self-Service VIP plan provides the right capacity at the right margin.
Step 2: Upload the Gym Logo and Brand Assets
Upload the gym logo as a print-ready PNG with a transparent background. Include the secondary logo or icon if the gym uses one. Set the storefront brand color to the team color. Upload a small banner image for the top of the storefront with the gym name and tagline.
The platform applies the logo across every apparel piece. Front and back mockups generate automatically on each garment color. The mockups become the product photos in the storefront.
Step 3: Pick the Apparel Set
The core competitive gymnastics gym apparel set:
- Womens favorite tee in team color and white
- Bear Grips Airlume Cotton Athletic Tee (unisex) in team color and black
- Womens premium cropped hoodie in team color
- Bear Grips Comfort Soft Hoodie (unisex) in team color and black
- Independent Trading Co. midweight performance joggers in team color and gray
- Sport-Tek ladies quarter-zip pullover in team color
- Bear Grips womens signature biker shorts in black
- Next Level ladies racerback tank in team color and white
- Sport-Tek mens performance polo for coaches in team color
- Yupoong adjustable cotton lifestyle hat in team color and black
Ten products covers gymnast, parent, and coach with multiple color options. Add or remove pieces based on what the gym audience asks for.

The gym sets the retail on each piece. The margin is the difference between the VIP base and the retail.
| Piece | VIP Base | Common Retail | Margin |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tee | $19.88 | $29 | $9.12 |
| Hoodie | $36.88 | $50 | $13.12 |
| Joggers | $40.88 | $55 | $14.12 |
| Quarter-zip | $29.88 | $42 | $12.12 |
| Polo | $34.88 | $48 | $13.12 |
| Hat | $25.88 | $34 | $8.12 |
Default recommended margin is $10 per item. Most gyms set retail to land at $10 to $15 of margin per piece.
Step 5: Share the Storefront Link With Parents
Once the storefront is live, share the link in three places:
- The new-gymnast welcome packet
- The team parent email and the team chat
- A QR code on the gym lobby wall
Reopen the announcement in the parent email at the start of each competitive season, the start of the camp season, and four weeks before the first meet of the year.
Step 6: Track Margin in the Dashboard
The Pro Shops dashboard shows orders, units sold, and gym margin in real time. Most competitive gymnastics gyms see steady ordering across the year with peaks at the start of the season, the camp announcement, and the holiday gift period. The gym margin lands in the gym account directly. Use the margin to fund team events, meet entry fees, scholarship, or coach development.
